Vocal Effect Question

[DudeNateIsSoRad]

I hate to make a new thread just for this question, but it's kind of important.
Does anyone know how to get that effect, that makes the vocals cut in and out, really fast?

really bad song choice, but the chorus of the song "Just Got Paid, Lets Get Laid" is an example.

You can just mute the audio. Are you talking about recording or live? There's also a pitch shift thing on that voice, if you want that sound too.

What a terrible song haha.

haha, yeah the song is pretty horrible... I mean for recording, i'm not sure how to do it.

Just sing it normally, and the easiest way would be to mute sections of audio. In that the sound just stops and starts completely, there's no slow-down kind of effect or anything. Just cut out an eighth, quarter, or whatever length worth of audio where you want the silence to be. That seems like the easiest way to do that to me.

You can probably either automate your mute button, or just literally chop out the section of the clip. You might want to do just a couple of milliseconds of fade out/in so it doesn't sort of pop or click or anything.

It depends what recording program you're using; for example Ableton Live 7 has an effect called "Cut-o-matic" that will do just what you're looking for...if you dont have Ableton try looking for some free VST plugins for cutting effects, hopefully one of them will do the trick.

You can download the waves diamond plugin. It has a bunch of filters. One is a mondomod which has a preset called subliminal or some shit that does that.
Or if you're using FL studio, make a wave traveller, select the part of the vocals you want and splice them. Then place them in the rythm you want and apply a pitch shift to every note.
