[muso] Dalek simulator?

[Lee]

Does anyone know a good way of taking a speech sample and making it sound like a Dalek? And before you all say:

vocoder

I know this is the easiest way, but I don't have a decent backing sample. If anyone can supply one...

Thanks.

The original effect was a Ring Modulator.

You can find this effect on a lot of digital mixers and I'm sure that you can find a soft version online.

Nice one, cheers big man.

Now, can anyone recommend a free plugin of some kind? Google seems to be coming up with a lot of big bulky pieces of hardware...

Ring modulation is essentially multiplying two audio signals together.  This is tricky in analogue hardware, but piss-easy digitally in something like http://puredata.info , the main author of Pd has a book with explanations of the maths:

I think there's a ringpiece moderator around here somewhere ...


STOP - THINK - is your post really worth it ?

If you have Adobe Audition you can Dalek-ise a voice by going to the 'Generate Tones' feature and selecting 'modulate' with a base frequency of 30Hz.

So now you know.

Oh - it helps if you boost all the mid-range frequencies using the graphic equaliser first, too.
