What was used to make that characteristic vocal?

0:38

0:42

0:50

 

........a girl??

 

Don't understand the significance of any of your time markers there.

Trurl was right, though. Just a singer... add delay and reverb? Simples

 

first one is a send track with plate into phaser

second one is quarter delay with feedback

third is like first

 

Thanks!
I thought that there is second layer in the background with frequency shifter modulated by lfo.

 

@Darth Vader Son, i really enjoy your topics ...

 

Oberheim Ring Modulator

 

Oh and Mu-Tron

 

Uhm, reverb and delay?

 

So everything is just a voice and intonation of a singer?
I thought there is some effect that change the vocal.
Those 3 track have very similar vocal and I haven't heard it anywhere else.
It's very characteristic. I mean the most track "Phantasia - Violet Skies".

 

No. Just add a delay and reverb (in that order) and roll-off the highs off the delay/reverb with an EQ (lastly).

 

They all sampled "C'hantal - The Realm (Acapella)" from 1992 that already had a reverb/delay on it.

 

Aha! Well that explains why they all sound like the same girl. I actually thought that was just a coincidence!

 

Hmm. I'm not sure.
Looks like it is a sample used by "Bronx - Wet Like The Rain".
But 2 others track doesn't match to it.
"Phantasia - Violet Skies" is from 1991 and this track is from 1992.
Also lyrics completly doesn't match.
Same as "Kai Tracid - Destiny's Path".
Are you sure?

Yeah! That's the point!
For me it isn't a coincidence.
I thought that there is some ingridient that make all of them sound similar.
You know. This intonation, specific talking, similar voice. Like there is something that make it so characteristic. That can be reconstructed using effects in DAW. Maybe some modulations of vocoder? Maybe using some plugins from Antares?

 

I'm pretty sure. I remember that all the hard house and hard trance people in Europe back then wanted this original sample, which circulated around in 1991 even before it was released on vinyl. There might be later re-recordings or new recordings of it that I'm not aware of. But you're right, the vocals on "Kai Tracid - Destiny's Path" is different, featuring Jade 4U or Nikkie Van Lierop.

Just for the giggles, I really like that 2018 song "Superorganism - Something For Your M.I.N.D" using that sample...

Maybe I should ask Kai Tracid. It would dispel any doubts. But where can I write to him?
