Best recording signal effects processors according to redditors

This is the one he uses. 200 bucks so it better be worth it!

The term to google is "Autotune Rackmount Vocal Producer."

Here is one on Amazon for $350.

There are plenty of real time vocal effect products out there. Pitch shift, pitch correction ect. Im not saying Adele uses those features exactly, but if you think she has a mic that is directly wired to a speaker, you may be uninformed.

Edit, heres a live vocal effects processor..

This is the exact model that Dan is using.

Dude, are you fucking daft?

Equalizers. They are things. Buy one, plug it in, and use it.

There's probably a less expensive way to do it in software but this is the hardware she uses

I struggle in a lot of areas, but keeping readers engaged has always been a strength for me. Here are a few ways that work for me:

1. Get a voice changer. Check out this Twitch streamer who uses a voice changer to do a grandma voice to screw with scammers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igzPcgXd0XY
   This is what he/I use(s): https://www.amazon.com/Roland-AIRA-VT-3-Voice-Transformer/dp/B00IGDXK9Q
   
   It allows you to do hilarious voices and the kids really crack up at it. You'll spend around $300 for everything, but it's worth something that is such a significant portion of your job. If you've listened to many audiobooks, then you know a good narrator can make or break a book, and it's no different in your classroom.
   
   
2. Every once in a while (depending on your group's stamina), have your students act out a scene. I frequently say something like "You know, I'm reading this, but I'm just not visualizing it too well. I need to see it. I need 3 people up here. Okay, you three are the Socs and Julissa is going to be Johnny. Show the class what it looks like when they beat up Johnny." Motion creates emotion, so while students sometimes will initially roll their eyes, it always brings their mood up.
   
   
3. Stop every once in a while and cold call (call on without warning) students and ask them to clarify things. I might say "RJ, this author keeps saying that Jonas and his family live in a dwelling. Remind us what a dwelling means in this context," or "So, we just saw our main character lie to her mother for the first time. Alex, what would you have done if you were in the character's situation?" As long as you enforce the rule that students must stay engaged, they'll pay attention just to avoid getting embarrassed if they get called on and don't know the answer. A few times is okay, but if a student clearly isn't even trying, then it becomes a discipline issue. I'm lenient if students can't find exactly where we are reading (because they may be listening even if they aren't following the words), but you'll be able to tell if they are paying zero attention.
   
   Those are 3 things that help for me. Of course your personality and energy level will determine if these methods work for you.

Did we ever confirm that this is the Vocoder Dan has been using?

For the microphone stand if you ever wanna change it...

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PSA1Rode--rode-psa1-professional-studio-boom-arm

These are excellent, I'm pretty sure Joe Rogan uses these now... can't remember. And he uses the SM7B so that was a noteworthy mention in your post.

For your other stuff...

Pick up one of these one day. You don't seem to use a limiter, your strip doesn't have one, and this will handle that, and this would solve the volume extremities issue with your stream where my wife gives me that look because you start yelling at some alt-right dipshit after I could barely hear you talking a second earlier. Thanks.

Then I would change out your mixer one day. It might have some noise you aren't happy with in the preamps (maybe not), and if so try one of these out. Allen and Heath is famous for having completely perfect preamps

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ZED60-10FX--allen-and-heath-zed60-10fx-mixer-with-usb-and-effects

They make a much smaller one as well if you don't need that many channels, obviously.

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ZED6FX--allen-and-heath-zed-6fx-mixer-with-effects

But I'm not sure if it's up to the same standards and if you do that deal where you send some audio back in from the mic out on the computer, I always forget the terminology that podcasters made for that trick. Basically to isolate who is talking to you and put it into the mixer directly and you hear it and your audience hears it, and you can turn them down, etc... On my allen and heath I had to mess with it a bit to make that work right. Something to consider.

If you don't already use a RACK, might as well.

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Desktop-Frame-Components-RK8OD/dp/B01NBPL8OP/

And I'd advise something like a power conditioner in the rack as well, keeps the gremlins out. I'm paranoid about sound, I use their cheaper power strips for my setup and it feels like it makes a difference, but maybe I'm tricking myself.

https://www.amazon.com/Furman-Conditioning-Outlets-Spacing-Voltmeter/dp/B00145EVJ6/

Just little things, but they probably won't be worth it overall. Stuff you might add to an amazon list or something. I'm a list guy. ;)

If anyone is interested, like myself, you can buy it here.

I'll probably get one in the coming weeks/month(s). I'll let you guys know how I like it if I do.

[If anyone is curious this is what he says he uses.]

Behringer Shark comes to mind.

How about this Behringer guy?

https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-FBQ800-BEHRINGER-MINIFBQ/dp/B000MJ406Y/

I would recommend using a crossover for that kind of setup. Even with the lows turned down on the guitar amp, you still risk damaging the speakers.

XLR mics with phantom power for the win! If you're going for professional quality sound, save your money and invest in a good XLR mic.

​

The problem with USB mics like Blue Yeti is the fact that they use the integrated sound on your computer's motherboard. If your motherboard's sound system is older (2 years or older), the voice from the USB mic could sound robotic or it might not capture your entire voice range. This is especially a problem for folks with deeper voices. On older computers, you might sound far away or your voice could break up. If you have a brand new computer, feel free to use a USB mic until you can afford an XLR microphone.


XLR microphones require phantom power. Scarlet Focusrite (https://www.amazon.com/Focusrite-Scarlett-Audio-Interface-Tools/dp/B01E6T56CM) is a good product for phantom power, but there are affordable, good quality sound mixers that provide phantom power as well. Alot of streamers have used Berhinger Xenyx 302 ( https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-302USB-BEHRINGER-XENYX/dp/B005EHILV4) or Berhinger Xenyx 502 (https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-502-BEHRINGER-XENYX/dp/B000J5UEGQ). I personally use Roland VT-3 (https://www.amazon.com/Roland-AIRA-VT-3-Voice-Transformer/dp/B00IGDXK9Q) because it's a voice changer, sound mixer, noise gate, and phantom power all mixed into one machine.

​

For mics, I admit I'm using a cheap Pyle PDMIC58 . (Hey, I got this XLR mic for free with my Best Buy points. I didn't have enough points for a good mic). My problem with the mic is that it's too bright for my voice, and I have a low voice for a woman. I need something that captures my full voice range alot better. I'm planning to upgrade to a RODE NT-1 mic (Not the Rode NT-1A) before the end of the year.

Like others have stated, take your time and do research. Don't rush! Find the mic that fits your voice best. Good luck!

Doubt it would pay for itself, but just think of all the fun you can have

Roland VT-3

I believe hes still using https://www.amazon.com/Roland-AIRA-VT-3-Voice-Transformer/dp/B00IGDXK9Q

Might not be exactly what you're looking for (budget, hardware, etc.) but I know several females that have had great success with the Roland VT-3 (amazon.com link) in this application.

You can look into getting a Roland VT-3. It's a little pricey, and depending on what you have now, you might need to buy a new mic. If you're curious about it, I'd be more than happy to help.

youll probably need a standalone mic and pass through an audio input. sdtone mountain 64 does audio changes (for pebble hill and CO roleplay) his website says he uses a Roland VT3 with a Shure SM7B mic. any headset with it built in will have even less of the fine tuning youre after

Maybe something like this would work for you?

https://www.amazon.com/TC-Helicon-996366005-Perform-V/dp/B0182MIOOQ/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=vocal+harmonizer&qid=1554925159&s=gateway&sr=8-11

It has a built-in mic that is uses to track harmony/key, and looks to have added app control via phone to unlock additional functions.

Microphone:

• Audio-Technica AT2020 is totally solid (not the USB version obviously)
  
• Rode NT-1A would be a proper step up from there
  
  Since you're aiming to do everything in hardware, you will need a mixer, the Mackie 802vlz4 would be a decent option. Any Mixer that has solid preamps and effect inserts on the microphone channels will do here. Normally I'd prefer just using an audio interface, but they don't have inserts for hardware effects or volume controls for individual channels which you do need here.
  
  There are lots of mixers with integrated USB interfaces, but they don't usually allow you to send audio from the PC into the mixer and then back, they're just intended to allow recording the whole mix and often don't have proper drivers so they end up adding delay.
  
  Since this Mixer is purely analog, you need to add a really minimalistic audio interface like the ESI U24 XL or the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (which would already be somewhat overkill since it has mic preamps which you don't need).
  
  Finally, you need a proper compressor. For this part, someone else might have more to offer, don't have a very good overview over the market when it comes to hardware units like this.
  
  
• The DBX 266 XS should be very solid, has compressor and Gate/Expander
  
• FMR Audio RNC 1773 really nice, but more expensive option, and doesn't have a gate. You'd need to get another device for that purpose if you go for this one.
  
  This would be coming in at around $470 plus microphone. More if you go with the FMR compressor and a separate gate/expander.
  
  Oh, setup:
  
  Microphone -> Mixer -> Mixer FX insert -> Compressor/Gate -> Mixer FX return. The FX insert/return is actually one jack on the mixer, you need a splitter cable from stereo 1/4" to 2x mono 1/4" to use it.
  
  Mixer Master out -> USB Interface
  
  USB interface out -> Mixer (one of the stereo channels)
  
  Mixer headphone out -> well, headphones ;)

I don't have first-hand experience with any of these types of systems, but I think what you're probably looking for is an amp/tactile transducer system that can be integrated into your current system and affixed to your chair. Something like this.

Billy Sheehan is using a Rolls Two Way Tiny Crossover to remove the lows from his upper frequency amp. A look at one of his rig rundowns will give you some good ideas about running a dual amp system.

https://www.amazon.com/rolls-Tiny-2-Way-Crossover-SX21/dp/B00102VW6S

Not without spending some cash. I'm assuming they're coming in remotely? Or else you could just get one of those novelty voice changers from Party City or something. You could try to get one to them but you wouldn't be able to do a whole lot to adjust it if it ended up muddling them too much.

Otherwise you can drop something like this, this, or this into their line. But the cheapest vocal effect (that would anonymize their voice anyway) that you'd be able to control live is gonna set you back around $130. Unless of course you find it on ebay or Reverb. I got a $500 vocal processor for $250 from a pawn shop in LA via ebay so miracles do happen.

For the record if you go that route I recommend that, rather than use something that pitch-bends or distorts, you look for something that specifically "gender-bends" as this will be a much more articulate effect. My processor (the Vocalive 2) actually has a setting that legit makes you sound like a child. It's super creepy.

https://www.amazon.com/Roland-AIRA-VT-3-Voice-Transformer/dp/B00IGDXK9Q

If you want hardware I recommend the Roland VT-3. It has a volume knob, peak knob, adjustable pitch/format, adjustable reverb, various other effects, and supports both 1/4" mic and XLR mic. It's also has a USB output. I use it all the time for my streams.

You might be able to find it cheaper or used on Reverb.com and GuitarCenter.com

When you use the walkie talkie (or indoors seems like there might an echo added) in the game it sounds like a PA, doubt he was using anything.

Hello dear saints of the audio world,

I go by the name of TheBirdReich (you can call me Bird) and I do a lot of broadcasting on Twitch. Recently, I've been looking into upgrading my audio setup from my USB Blue Yeti microphone to a XlR microphone. I have a lot of questions because the transitional phase from the plug and play usb mics to XLR mics is pretty hefty. My budget is for the new setup is about $500.

Dynamic or Condensor?

For my application of "in home live audio streaming", which would be most applicable? (Disclaimer: I yell a lot) The mic I was intending on purchasing was the NT1-A. Link is here: NT1-A

Necessary equipment?

a. Was thinking about purchasing this compressor/noise gate to help with my peaking when yelling: DBX 266xs Good idea or no?

b. Do you have any budget friendly recommendations for an audio interface/mixer? (I have a fear of audio delay/lag) Ps. just going to use my mic with the setup, not any instruments or such things.

Overall I'm really unsure about what to even purchase, mainly because of the lack of knowledge, and I don't want to end up spending more than I have to. I know the creed for audio engineers is to spend no more on equipment that meets their requirements. :) I greatly appreciate your input and the fact that you're taking time out your day to help! If you have recommendations on gear or items that you know would be good for my application I'd be happy to hear from you on them!
Thanks ahead of time!

I'm thinking of buying this compressor

along with a mixer and at2035.

Also would i need phantom power to make this work or would i receieve that from the mixer or rack?

Any ideas on the mixers? Thank you for all your help as usual ;)

Hmm seems like it's simple at first but in the end it's not. It's essentially up to whoever wrote the driver for your soundcard whether or not they provide an equalizer. Some do but most do not. Those that do you need to make sure it works for the Windows Driver and not just the ASIO drive. For example my TASCAM US-322 has an EQ for the ASIO driver but not for the Windows driver. On the other hand my Realtek has a software EQ for the Windows Driver but no ASIO driver at all.

So in my case if I wanted to use it for all general Windows audio I'd need to use my Realtek soundcard and the advanced software control panel to use the EQ.

Your other choice ofc. as other have mentioned is to buy a hardware Equalizer: http://smile.amazon.com/Monoprice-31-Band-Graphic-Equalizer-Subwoofer/dp/B00KLRP5CK/

That sounds awesome. Is it this one by chance?

http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-FBQ800-BEHRINGER-MINIFBQ/dp/B000MJ406Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452121903&sr=8-1&keywords=Behringer+9+band+equalizer#Ask

Does it take analog input and outputs analog? I'm guessing I would do dac to this equalizer to my amp.

This one:

The biggest issue you will have is video latency/delay. The Elgato Game Capture HD60 will have a few seconds of delay on both the video and audio before it's sown in your streaming software.

If you want to control the audio from the PS4 and Xbox One with the mixer, you will need to get something to delay the audio to match it up or else the audio will be played in real time and the video show up later on the stream.

You will need some expensive equipment to delay the audio in real time (it can be done easily in software but you need either another computer to do it or bypass the mixer completely). Considering the audio will be most likely stereo, you will need two audio delay boxes. The only one I can think of on top of my head that's not "too expensive" is the Behringer Shark FBQ100 but you will need two. They can delay the audio to up to 2.5 seconds (WHICH MAY NOT BE ENOUGH FOR THE ELGATO!)

How do you exactly get the audio from the Xbox and PS4? With a digital to analog converter. Use the optical out on the consoles and RCA to jacks from it and into the mixer.

You ask what headset you should buy. If you plan on using the mixer with a gaming headset you have to look elsewhere because that will not work. You can use a gaming headset with audio only via the headphone out on the mixer with but you need a proper microphone to use with the mixer.

Is this all worth doing with your current setup? Absolutely not. The first thing you need to do is replace your capture card with something that's low latency.

The best capture card you can get for this today is the Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI. It's a tad expensive but worth every penny. A step down would be the Black Magic Intensity Pro (which I currently use and own with audio going into my Behringer 802USB mixer). The other "gaming" capture card brands has some low latency cards as well but I would not recommend them.

Once you have a low latency capture card you can start plugging your consoles audio into it.

Because he wants to control it, I'd suggest a dedicated effects processor with a remote or a pedal type device.

I don't know anything about this unit, but it has XLR in and out:

http://www.amazon.com/Digitech-Vocalist-Harmony-Correction-Guitarists/dp/B0035HIL0G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&keywords=pitch+change+pedal

What is the difference between the Behringer Shark DSP110 and the BEHRINGER SHARK FBQ100? I get that they're both feedback suppressors, but they seem quite similar to me and at the same price point.

First:

• sound-conditioned room
  
• computer
  
• DAW - most people on reddit, including me, seem to really like Reaper
  
• audio interface - I like this
  
• mixing headphones
  
• two multi-purpose, condenser mics (lots of choices depending on your price range - AKG420s or AT4050s are good choices)
  
• all the necessary cables and stands
  
  Second:
  
• monitor speakers
  
• dynamic mics for drums and amps
  
• analog preamp and compressor
  
  Third:
  
• luxury items...go nuts. Add to your mic arsenal and analog gear, or upgrade to an interface with more inputs, or get some midi controller stuff
  
  All in all, it's an expensive hobby...
  
  

This is the exact one I am using:

Before I ask my dumb question, wanted to give a big thank you! Pretty much ready to throw in the towel here.

Alright: So do I apply any gain on my mixer? The microphone volume knob, and the stereo out knob both give volume. I've been using these to avoid mouth sounds. I then added more volume via the compressor's output. I kept the gain knob on the mixer all the way to the left.

Here's a picture of the mixer: http://media.musiciansfriend.com/is/image/MMGS7/MG10XU-10-Channel-Mixer-with-Effects/J06370000000000-00-500x500.jpg

If I apply gain on the mixer, how do you stop mouth sounds? Tried everything from green apples to drowning myself.

Alright dude. I'll start with this and come back with the results. Would that be okay?

I'm confused on how to change my setup to only use the compressor/limiter/gate on channel 1 (or use both channel 1 & 2) of my mixer.

I have a A&H ZED-10FX, dbx 166xs, and a focusrite solo.

Currently I have the mic going into channel 1 XLR of the mixer, the main L & R XLR out going into channel 1 XLR of the dbx 166xs, and channel 1 XLR out to the focusrite XLR in and then out to USB to the computer.

I know this is not the proper way to set this all up but it has worked for a few months okay now.

Now I want to isolate the compressor/limiter/gate so that it only works on channel 1 of the mixer so that I can add in another input to it that isn't affected by the dbx.

I would prefer to only use 1 channel on the dbx if that's possible to avoid.

It looks like the mixer does not have a single insert per channel, but I do see a L & R 1/4" main mix insert. I think I need to somehow utilize that for the dbx and then just output to usb recording on the mixer and ditch the focusrite. I tried reading the manual for the mixer but it went way over my head as I'm pretty green to this kind of audio equipment.

Four bands isn't really my idea of a usable EQ.

Something like the Behringer FBQ800 is going to have a lot more utility.

I used the Rolls XS21 for a 2.1 system I assembled for my neighbor. It was the perfect solution.

Damn you I wish I had a 303 haha. I bought an external compressor to make up for mfx 12 (I'm not a fan of it). This thing is beast, and the two modes are so different it's kinda crazy how much you can use this to shape your sound over the 404sx.

I want to equalize the output of a DAC without compromising the quality. I'm ok with the output for music, but I need to make some tonal arrangements for gaming. Is this one going to bottleneck the sound?

This works for almost all tunings. Drop d will still need to tune string.

I have this amp: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E6T56CM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-7oqDbRC18ZCF and wanted to know if it’ll work with this voice changer: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KPJKRYX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_x6oqDbRS751ZT I use an XLR mic currently so that would be a problem at all.

If you want to do it properly, you will want a USB Mixer that has both built in FX and Insert channels such as the Mackie ProFX8v2

And a dynamics processor Expander/Gate/Compressor/Limiter such as the DBX 166xs.

The mics connect to the mixer, then you use 2 Insert TRS(Tip-Ring-Sleeve) cables to run each mic into channel 1 and 2 on the back of the processor.

Inserts allow you to send audio to a processor and then back, all on the same cable (Example https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/STP201). It utilizes the 2 channels of a standard TRS connector, one to send, one to receive.

Because you have 2 mics in close proximity, the Expander and Gate will help limit spill from the other person talking further away, the compressor and limiter brings your dynamic range closer and boosts levels to increase your clarity.

This video explains how Inserts work

I'd highly suggest XLR mics and an Audio mixer. For voice effects, you'll have best quality with a hardware voice transformer. There are lots of software options available, but they typically have limitations and quality issues.

Here's a few suggestions as to what you could use...

• Audio Mixer
  
  
• Microphone
  
  
• Voice Transformer
  
  Getting a good audio setup isn't cheap as you'll quickly see. lol. The microphone I linked is what I currently use and I love it. The Audio Mixer and Voice Transformer, I recently ordered myself so I can't fully say how good they are. But, they do have great reviews.

Thank you Zeos for the RBH R5BIR video review (btw, link missing on this page currently). In that video you mentioned setting the crossover in your receiver but what about those that don't have this capability?

I have an Emotiva PT-100 stereo preamp. I don't believe the PT-100 has that capability (unless I'm mistaken). Is there an alternate solution for this? Perhaps something like the Behringer Super-X Pro Cx2310 or one of the Rolls crossovers (SX21 or SX45)? But for lower end equipment is this even worth it? Perhaps a cheaper solution is available? Or, by "just deal with it" should I conclude that bass management is simply not a thing for stereo-only systems?

Anyway, thanks for the video. If you have any video or material that covers setting the crossover point in your receiver (primarily covering what you do in situations where your electronics doesn't support it) I'd definitely be interested to see it.

Depending on your budget you may want to put money away for something like this.

Roland AIRA Series VT-3 Voice Transformer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IGDXK9Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_gwhOAbVT433H7

I actually have that exact speaker! I put it in a DIY MDF box that measures out to a total internal volume of 3.5 cubic feet. I got a good deal on a used QSC ISA280 for $100, so that runs through this guy;

https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-31-Band-Graphic-Equalizer-Subwoofer/dp/B00KLRP5CK

But, since this was a small purchase at a time, I should have just bit the bullet and gone with this instead;

https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-NU3000DSP-BEHRINGER-iNUKE/dp/B005EHINAS/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1540510237&sr=1-1&keywords=inuke+3000dsp

It's a very powerful combo, but I only use it for music so I made the enclosure sealed as opposed to ported. This means it's doesn't play down into the low 20hz range, but almost all music doesn't go that low anyway. You could easily build or buy a ported enclosre and use the DSP on the Inuke to boost the bottom end.

I've been super happy with it as a driver, and am considering getting 2 of the 10" as bass drivers for a pair of DIY semi-open baffle full range towers I'm thinking of building.

Great sub, you will not be unhappy with it! I got mine because the goddamn Ultimax 18" is constantly on backorder. I've also surprisingly heard good things about some of the Rockville car subs, but ultimately went with the Skar.

Good luck, and I hope you get what you are looking for!

And, while not the greatest box in the world, this could save you a lot of time and effort if you decide to go ported and not DIY it;

Amazon has this Behringer which looks to be about 24 cm wide about 12-13 cm deep by about 5cm tall.

I can't attest to its quality - but it certainly is small and appears to have mostly 4 and 5 star reviews.

Bravo Audio V3 Tube Headphone Amplifier has a 3 band EQ.

Before the amp:

• Schiit Loki tone control $149. Popular and well rated. Optional Schiit Sys $49 switch to go with it. Magni $99 is the Schiit headphone amp. All 3 would make a nice Schiit stack.
  
• Behringer MiniFBQ FBQ800 Ultra-Compact 9-Band Graphic Equalizer $70.
  
• Mini DSP - I don't know which one would be ideal.
  
  DSP Phono preamp.
  
  
• Puffin Phono DSP from Parks Audio $400.

$149 there the passive Schiit Loki 4 band tone control -

Not on a guitar but there are foot pedals that can do the same thing. I personally have this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/DigiTech-Whammy-DT-Effects-Pedal/dp/B0052QOU08/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459161464&sr=8-1&keywords=whammy+DT

It changes the sound coming out of speakers to reflect different tunings (though the guitar stays in whatever tuning it started in).

Recommend using headphones.

From what I read in the description and reviews cheaper versions from the same brand like this one can do the same, just without the fancy touch screen and with a few options missing.

Okay - two things. That's still a pretty minimal stereo. I think I'll wait and give it a listen prior to ordering this though.

Most people doing this are using looper pedals and vocal harmonizers like https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B076JSGJ4Z/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Looper and generates harmonies based on the chords you play.

Sucks that it has come to this but there you are.
