New Release : BADACID - AcidCage / Experimental Acid House

in #music7 years ago (edited)

Introducing : AcidCage

I have days where I say " f' it I'm making some hard, crazy fast, mind altering s*&^". I also know I will always have those days in the future so I decided to create a side project named "AcidCage". The sounds will be electronic, fast, acid house flavored, & experimental.

BADACID

About the track

Trippy is one word my friend used after listening. I prefer energizing, in your face, hardcore, but I like the heavier stuff )


I was asked in a comment below...

By the way, how did you get the vocals to sound like that?
@vitalmistake

That is an excellent question man.

I found a free text-to-voice generator on google to get the words I wanted. I was able to pick the gender of the voice & speed there on the site. It gave me an mp3 that I dropped into my track.

I normalized the wave, just to beef up the sound a bit, & then sliced it up the way I wanted for the concept I had. To get the stretched out sounds I just copy/paste a section of the wave. Like the c sound in Accccccid.

At this point it was pretty bad and not going with the track at all in terms of melody or loudness so I added some inserts. Neptune pitch adjuster and some inline compression just for the vocal channel (see below).

The other effects are all sends on the mixer...

The same effects are also used on other mixer channels...

Then it was just a matter of adjusting levels of the sends & effects to get the sound to work. I hope that helps & Let me know if you have any questions!

Very Nice ) Thank you.

This is sick! Your bass is on point :) I look forward to your next release!

Thanks man I've been going at it for while & it finally came together ). In one of your posts you mentioned going back and removing things from your tracks and that helped me untangle this one.
Cheers!

By the way, how did you get the vocals to sound like that?

Computer gen voice ... sliced up then streched in parts then through Vocoder and compressor, then bunch of send FX.

I'll take some screen shots and post them here later...

Ok ) I updated the above to include the technique for the vocals. Let me know if you have any questions...
Cheers!

Thanks for responding! I really like that effect, and am amazed you got it to sound that good with a free text to speech program. Keep up the good work :D

No worries, yes it did take some maneuvering!
Now get back to work on that track! lol )

I'm glad it helped! Keep posting, this was great :)

Awesome Track :-) Yep, bring the hardcore & heavy my friend, looking forward to more of the same. I saw your post on the Discord, had to check you out.
