Anyone interested in any Talkbox ???

[yung-g]

If there's anyone interested in gettin some of that Talkbox sound on their record, then get at me or hit the number below. For those who are familiar, the Talkbox sound was made famous by Roger Troutman on such songs as "Computer Love". my folkz J.North is doing Talkbox for $100 a session, but will negotiate with u. contact him at 510-290-6247 (Jay), tell him u saw an Ad on Siccness.

You can also hear him doin talkbox on the new single from Lee Majors, called "Scrape It Out" featuring The Team. You can hear that single on the radio now.

There's also samples of his work at: www.soundclick.com/newrecords
The songs are: "Town Bizzness", "Talkbox Demo 1", & "Iz U Ready ?".

more are coming. check it out, and leave some feedback.

Shits coo' I might have to give him a holler.

I've actually had J North do talk box on one of the tracks for my solo album and it came out hella clean. It's hard finding people that have the skillz to do talk box these dayz and when u do find someone they always try to charge an arm and a leg. I've had peeps quote talk box recordings at $600 and more but J North did a tighter one then them for only $100. Definately worth the money!

good lookin yall, give him a holla. he also is slangin beats for $100 (but cuts deals for more than 1), and is also offering studio time at $25 an hour. DC, imma have to hear that finished version of your song, when u got it wrapped up.

ok, ya'll explain the talkbox thang to me, i know itsa kinda of an effect used on the vocals right...?
i know its kinda rare to be used on albums in a sense....but why so expensive,i mean i heard that cat say he paid like 600....man

fuck it i'll just google it....lol

 

[mustynutz]

nevermind...question answered

 

[yung-g]

well True Talents neva said he paid $600, he was quoted at that from others. and the reason people charge so much, is because not everyone can do Talkbox. there's only certain people out who can perfect it, to the fullest.

 

[DJ Mark 7]

yeah I'll be the first to admit, this guy is clean....and it is NOT an easy instrument to play....$100 is a STEAL for his work

 

[GHP]

what is a talk box exactly? I think its real tight when done right like when Roger and Zapp did it but i always wondered what equipment is used to do that.

 

[DJ Mark 7]

Check the studio forum...Plenty of threads about it

 

[Daddy Rich]

it is also a very rare piece of equipment to come accross they stopped makin them years ago but that was a while ago mabey they are makin them again i just havent had my eyes peeled like i said that is when i first started out and the talk box was hella rare only engineers or people that bought them back in the day had them good thread and i might have to fuck with that too that is a playa price pz

 

[yung-g]

good lookin, my boy is readin this wit me as i type. he said goodlookin on the responces, and he is just trynna get his name out there and shit, and is always down for the playa price, neva chargin them out the water prices and shit. he just wants to build up his portfolio and shit, ya feel.

and he is givin me more samples to upload soon.

Reason has it's own Vocoder.... it's very, very good. Master that and BAM! you got your own talkbox.... Thats for all you in-house basement artists...

 

[GHP]

^I got reason and never found out how to use that vocoder they have on it. I wondered why it was there cuz reason dont take external audio. You gotta hit me up and teach me a thing or 2 about that thing.

 

[yung-g]

@mR.SiPpYGeTiPpY, the vocoder is not the same as the Talkbox tho cuzzin. my nigg Jay also has that too, and its totally different, as he's shown me.

 

[mR.SiPpYGeTiPpY]

my bizzad Yung i was just helpin out fellow starvin artists obviously if they want the job done properly they WILL holla at cha boi fa sho!

yeah ur right they are different. A vocoder is what Roger Troutman is playing in the California Love video at the party, and a talkbox is what he's playing in the mad max one in the helicopter. You can still get that fonky west coast sound out of both of em anyway..

Jayda check yo pms i wrote out a step by step for it.

here's vocoder sound:

The TALKBOX is a entirely different vocal effect entirely from the VOCODER. I've been playing it (talkbox) for 16 years now and I never get bored of playing it or the sound it gives off. Roger Troutman made it seem easy to play and use but that was from years of practicing with it... if you listen to some of his earlier tracks you can't understand what he's saying... for example listen to SUN track WANNA MAKE LOVE. Check out Roger in the early stages of perfecting his sound and listen to the difference 4 years later with MORE BOUNCE TO THE OUNCE. He improved a great deal... so practice is the key to sounding your best and having people understand your speech pattern with it.

 

[mR.SiPpYGeTiPpY]

never said they were the same matey, just said you can get a fonky west coast sound outta both of em..

i had a talkbox, but the rubber got old and perished.

 

[45Yr Old Virgin]

a good use of the talkbox can be found in on some electro funk groups album ""she's in control", they're called chromeo.....the album sounds like its from 1980-1984...kinna goofey but the dude doing the talkbox created a talkbox association in the US but i forgot what it was called but here is their site if you wanna hear some old school sounding eletro funk

I know you wasn't... I was just talking in general about the whole talkbox thing and how people sometimes get it and a vocoder missed up.
