PunkPonyPrincess Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I have a new pop punk song i’ve demoed for the band it has chipmunks in it i want the chipmunks live for this song what is a good way? its just for a few lines: “Hashtag not all men’`, “ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba” “being a Nazi is haaaaaaaard!” “Can I still be your friend?” something that is cheap and one-shot is great. I’d normally consider a soundboard type application with a raspberry pi or a sample player mashing on some game pad Buttons but the “ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba” is sung and in time with the other harmonies....

project_c Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 A pitch shifter or octaver will do what you’re after, something like the TC Helicon maybe, but pretty much anything that goes up an octave will do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe two cheap uns for the band. ... and a pack of cheap balloons for the performance element? It doesn't matter if they're huffing their own breath or a bag of glue, but I think the sight of inhaling from a balloon then suddenly higher voices would be cool.

PunkPonyPrincess Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Sneaky. Love it. The baloons could have “cis-fumes” written on them. Edited August 14, 2019 by PunkPonyPrincess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 TC have their Helicon pedals designed to work with vocal mics (with XLR in and outs) that would require a bit less faffing than a guitar pedal. A vocalist in my old band used to use one for dubby echoes, but I'm sure there must be a pitch shift/harmoniser in the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
