    "Baby" is probably the best sounding word to do with a talkbox ;D

      You're confusing colour with race. People who have white skin can still be from a handful of different races. Thus calling someone white does not imply hatred towards a specific race.

    Thanks for this. I just got my talkbox and am having a hard time with the words like "cataracts" so this is very helpful. It's going to take a while for me to get in the habit of emphasizing and remembering when to, but it takes practice. You do this really well.

    Thank you for that super informative explanation! One thing that still stumbles me as I try and practice: where do I place the tube exactly in my mouth? - in between my upper and lower teeth? On the outside of my closed teeth next to my cheek? I'm confused because I still am not getting enough clarity even with overemphasizing harsher sounds.

  • @effectsmaster1
    @effectsmaster1 15 лет назад +1

    well my banshee talkbox does not do that. It sends the guitar signal through the tube into my mouth. You don't talk into the tube, you mouth some vowels or words like mayhem said. I have never talked into my tube, i just mouth the words a vowels.

  • @PK_Mega_Awesome
    @PK_Mega_Awesome 10 лет назад

    This is really helpful, thanks. do I need to be able to sing in tune? Also as opposed to mouthing the words and accentuating the clicks etc, can't I just actually sing? If I am performing no one will hear my voice as there would be no microphone, but my vocal chords would be doing everything needed to affect the tone of the keys/guitar.

    • @ASilentS
      @ASilentS 10 лет назад +1

      The sound produced by the talkbox comes out of the tube, is resonated by your mouth, and this modulated sound is picked up by an EXTERNAL mic. If you're singing while talkboxing, the microphone will pick up both sounds.

    • @mazedull

    1. Hey man, can you help me out? I just started playing the talkbox w/ my guitar a couple days ago. I'm trying to get the cleanest sound possible (no sound coming from my mouth/throat other than the consonants). But many of the sounds I don't even hear while talkboxing yet I hear them in recordings. Do you think what I'm trying to do is possible or am I reaching too high? (I've also heard even Roger Troutman make some throat sounds when talkboxing live.)

    @talkboxmayhem I remember learning about biological psychology in my psychology class. It's definitely a real profession, although many biological theories in psychology aren't really accepted; for example, the theory that dreaming is just random neural impulses. However, I'm sure there's a lot of those bio-psychologist into how the brain works and reacts to things or eyesight and stuff like that.

The DX100 is going for outrageous amounts of money right now. Nobody's caught on to the DX27 yet, so prices are lower than the DX100. Mayhem- on your next video, could you show us what other DX100 patches or other synths sound good are other observations you've noticed during the course of finding our voice?
