There’s this effect that I’ve heard in a couple of songs. The best way that I can describe it is the way that some video game characters talk (especially animal crossing) where they’re speaking gibberish but it also sounds robotic somehow.
Two songs with an example of this sound:
My Head Hurts -strxwberrymilk
Sunshine Recorder -Boards of Canada
For the first one, the sound I’m talking about comes in at about 1:30, and for the second it comes in at about 2:50.
Really interested in recreating this sound. Any ideas as to how to achieve this are welcome.
Edit: found the sound I was looking for. It’s called glitch: https://illformed.org/
Don’t have the time to listen to those right now to confirm it, but generally, reversing the vocal track?
No, not quite. Reversing it could be part of the process but there’s definitely some other effects in there.
Got around to listening, and yeah these are like heavy on effects in general, so it’s gonna be hard to point out any one thing. Possibly octave, bit crusher, reversed, idk.
