Gareth Owen Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Anyone remember the movie Scream? In said film the bad guy used a handheld box to create a crazy on-the-phone type voice. You can buy these boxes over the internet but they are a bit naff. Does anyone know of a TDM plugin or peice of outboard gear that creates EXACTLY this effect? Failing that, opinions on the best way to create said effect with generic units would be most helpful! I've been playing around with boxes and software for hours and can only get about 80% the way there... FYI - It needs to be used live, ideally running as a plugin on a Digidesign Venue...

Nick S Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I think it's probably just a matter of keeping at it with what you have to get the other 20% - the effect in Scream would almost certainly have been done in post, probably even with a Digi product! I'd imagine it's just going to be a combination of pitch-shifters with varying balances, perhaps you'd want to add in a chorus or flange effect to give it a bit more depth. I know that's not the answer you wanted, but I doubt the effect itself in the film won't have been something 'off-the-shelf', but something the designer put together himself. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassnote Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I remember reading something (quite possibly an advert) in audio media that does this, I believe it was designed for the film industry and thats all I can remember. And irritatingly my house mate decided to clear the bathroom and chuck out my pile of magazines that I had in there... (I personally think audio media makes good toilet reading!!)

mervaka Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 it sounds like a pitch shifter and vocoder to me. cant be sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Owen Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 Yeah, pitch shifter, vocoder and chorus were the direction I was heading... If anyone comes up with that copy of Audiomedia it'd be good to hear what they have to say... Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Owen Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 FYI - The solution turned out to be a good quality pitch shifter going down 7 semitones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
