Best tutorial I've seen so far, and it's 14 years old now. You explained a lot of details, which was great. If you're still reading comments, thank you so much! I look forward to the other episodes...
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.
@@studiomomochannelwhite and black dont mean shit in fact black originates from blanc witch means white lol same as bleach witch means to clean or make white... wait until you hear about nationality and how you need one to have things like heritage and thus a right to reparations lol also funny enough black (spanish:negro) is a word used to describe inanimate objects sheesh
Dude!! I was at that Chromeo show!!! Pee-Thug is freakin' awesome. I'm glad to see some people (as well as yourself) keeping the talkbox love alive. :) Nice video, man. :D
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.
Thanks for breaking down the 411 on the talk box. My question is how do you elimante the piano or keyboard sound and totally use your own voice. Keep me posted D.J. H.E.
THanks so much for this video. THis answered a lot of questions. I was wondering if you had to use techniques from ventrilliquism to get the B T S K and CH sounds. Can you demonstrate the alphabet?
Sir I really need your help I love the TalkBox but I am having trouble learning how to harmonize or put layers in my music please tell me the secret please thanks
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.
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.
I just built my first talkbox, and I'm having alot of fun with it. However, I'm having a little trouble talking with it. When I try to talk, the tuba always ends up plugged by my tongue or cheek. Any tips, anyone?
I read a review on the DX27 which says that it is the full size version of the DX100. Haven't confirmed yet, but just bought a DX27 on ebay. 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?
dude. how does the tube look like in your mouth? i tried doing the things you did also but somehow its still not working. i position the tube on the left side of my cheek as well. is it diagonal to the center of your mouth from the left? or is it still kinda lined up in your cheek? please reply! thanks!
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.
@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.
Rude AF This tutorial was extremely helpful. It was your job to help yourself by paying attention. Step 1. Read the title Step 2: Listen. He immediately explained this is help for anyone who's been using their talkbox and needs advanced help Is that you? No. Obviously not.
2. I am also confused about breathing. I don't know whether to hold my breath, breathe through my mouth and close my nose, or any other combination of opening/closing the throat and nose. Will all of this come with time/trial and error?
That was so awesome! Thanks for explaining everything! Your the only vid so far I've seen that explained how the talkbox works.You might want to close your closet etc tho for us pitiful ADD types who wonder if your shirts are ironed or weather you may actually be one of the few men who REALLY do your own ironing. HA! ( Alf voice) Just kidding. Thanks again! That was great! ;-D
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.)
i want to know what patch do you use on the synth, i can't recreate the exact sound and the clear sound, i think its sort of practise, but what patch are you using?
Man look🙄 how do I hook the thing up? Out of my kybd into the talk box right? Tube in mouth. Is there a setting I have to use on the kybd? Do I need a mixer🤷🏾♂️
not really, but if you were preforming live you would need a mic (of course lol) and a PA system! but you probably could've guessed that if you wanted to use the talk box live :D
his voice can be heard because it is coming out of his mouth! believe me if your in a quiet room your camera can easily pick the sound up, why don't you just send mayhem a question and ask him. Look in the related videos at the one called "Mr. Talkbox Promo Concerts EXTENDED" he is using a microphone because he is live and with a huge band around him not even he could hear it.
but a microphone is handy to pronounce letters better like a d or a t.. you dont need to speak out loud but the t-sound you make when saying that letter is a leyer over the talkboxsound and that helps better
read "uberstupidmove"'s comment, also here is a little review on the pedal from guitar center's website "ok this pedal is the best freaking pedal out there it comes with everything u need and u can get the best sound out of it. "the one thing u need to know b4 u buy it is that the sound doesn't go to ur amp it goes straight threw the tube and u make the talk part there. it needs a mic next to it to hook it up to an amp."" that was the guys exact words, so now who's wrong?????
erm, As a talkbox user, I can say that you sir, are wrong. A talkbox is essentially a pre-amp that is Air Tight with a tube coming out of it. The only way to get the sound out is through the tube. It will come out of your mouth, but without a mic it will sound like voices in your head. It should also be noted mayhem uses a Mic in his videos, therefore you loose even harder. Next question.
Just for you to know I am a singer that’s why I know this it’s not opening the Throat .It’s lowering you lyrics that’s what opera singers do to have their voice lower and fuller and bigger lowering the lyrics is a lot of exercises for that you can find on RUclips I don’t mean anything by that I’m just trying to help thank you

Wait what?
What happened to him?
Definitely straight from LA with that helicopter in the bg.

I had to thank you many years ago… But i forget it thx for the masterclass
Wow... this is JUST what I was looking for. Thanks a million for posting this!
Yes, I'd also like to know what size tubing you use. I feel like the stiffness and tube size significantly matters.

thanks for clearing that up, I'd been starting to think i was wrong and that something was wrong with my talkbox :D
you a great teacher
so if i buy a rocktron banshee talk box, do i need to buy one of those small keyboards?
Yes 😜
Awesome video!!! I just started using the talkbox and believe me I’m struggling
Perfect good job thank you
THANK YOU. Been trying to figure out these things.
hi , how you hold the tube you bite it laterally???
Excellent video there mayhem :)
Do you have to know how to play the keyboard to do talk box?
wich one is better rocktron banshee or heli. i dont know wich one to get
thank you so much just made a talk box and this is exactly what im having trouble with
hahaha Mayhem.. you are funny.. awesome tut.
how do you add the vibrato?
so when we play the talkbox we should announciate our words, exhale while "singing", and emphasize each slylable right?
Yo, whats your setup consist of? like speakers and software mostly? those look like some mean speakers dude!

+SilentS Im new to this and just picked one up. I notice he doesnt have an external mic up by his mouth/tube. What is picking up the sound here?
that roger troutman heartbreaker ❤️
You gotta try out the TalkStar talkbox. Shit is next level.
is the tube size matter ? would 1/2 inch tube make it harder to mouth or can smaller tube work easier ?
I just built my first talkbox, and I'm having alot of fun with it. However, I'm having a little trouble talking with it. When I try to talk, the tuba always ends up plugged by my tongue or cheek. Any tips, anyone?
thanks mayhem. I have been intrigued by this lately; the effect is amazing compared to antares autotune.

You can buy one at any guitar center...
try using ebay also...

how do you have the banshee hooked up with the keyboard and ur monitors thanks
Ahh, things make more sense now, thank you, would you say the Banshee is the driver to go for?
I bet you can do a real good Jeff Goldblum impression.

What is the tube connecting to? It would have been helpful showing that.

This tutorial was extremely helpful.
It was your job to help yourself by paying attention.
Step 1. Read the title
Step 2: Listen. He immediately explained this is help for anyone who's been using their talkbox and needs advanced help
Is that you? No. Obviously not.
A great lesson , man!!!
2. I am also confused about breathing. I don't know whether to hold my breath, breathe through my mouth and close my nose, or any other combination of opening/closing the throat and nose. Will all of this come with time/trial and error?

What model keyboard/synthesizer are you using?
That's DX100
do you have to sing at all?
Thanks man ..found this really helpfull
Hey, you're welcome!
what patch you use on the FM8?
I can't afford half this crazy stuff,but I am going to figure this all out anyway!
Help!! it constantly gets out of my mouth or I stuck the tube with my tongue. Do you actually byte the tube or you put it aside your molars ??
Gaaah close that closet door!! lol... You off the hook mang....
what kind of synthesizer are you using?
where are u from @Mayhem Gets Funky ?
helpful video! thanks!
Fun fact you can actually do this with your phone speaker
If you don't use a pipe that goes deep into your mouth, the sound of the synthesizer won't be well shaped.
