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.
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...
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 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?
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.)
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!
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.
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🤷🏾♂️
@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.
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?
hey lil bro, you can make diy a talk box for like $50 or old speaker parts if you have no money. Look up diy talkbox. Homedepot has the tube and heres a link for a speaker you can do it with. www.amazon.com/Skar-Audio-PD1-X-Efficiency-Compression/dp/B075K3P2CL/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1545313972&sr=8-9&keywords=compression+driver+horn
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
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.
"Baby" is probably the best sounding word to do with a talkbox ;D
That is a funky white boy.

Dude, that video explained everything I needed to find out about how to mouth words. Thank you so much!
I thought you were saying "get rekt", not "cataract", and it really confused me because I didn't think that term existed in 2007.

Fabulous explanations and demos. Thank you!

awesome. you have done a great service for the memory of ROGER and his talkbox legacy.
Just got a talkbox and this was exactly what I was looking for!!
Just what I needed. Cheers!
Awesome video!!! I just started using the talkbox and believe me I’m struggling
O boy .. thank you so much .. the best Tutorial Video out there
Damn, this is exactly what I need in late 2022!

THANK YOU. Been trying to figure out these things.
AMAZING video! Also subscribed! You should've put a HP filter at 100hz for this video. :D
A great lesson , man!!!
Yes, I'd also like to know what size tubing you use. I feel like the stiffness and tube size significantly matters.
Excellent video there mayhem :)
you a great teacher
thanks for clearing that up, I'd been starting to think i was wrong and that something was wrong with my talkbox :D
helpful video! thanks!

7:47 - 7:48 was cool!! haha great job
Dude....Thank you for the info.
thanks mayhem. I have been intrigued by this lately; the effect is amazing compared to antares autotune.
RIGHT ON!
hi , how you hold the tube you bite it laterally???
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.
@@greymagic7790 I know I was just saying like for shits and giggles if you want.
Kinda like beatboxing.
You know what?
That was fun.
I giggled.
I shit.
Thank you 🥰
how do you have the banshee hooked up with the keyboard and ur monitors thanks
hahaha Mayhem.. you are funny.. awesome tut.
THANK YOU OMG FINALLY I GET IT

I was wondering if you had to use techniques from ventrilliquism to get the B T S K and CH sounds.

is the tube size matter ? would 1/2 inch tube make it harder to mouth or can smaller tube work easier ?

HEy man can you teach me how to setup my keyboard to make a talkbox soun . i dont got the dx100 i got the dx27
