In search for that electronic vocal...

[samsungwhite]

I was wondering if anyone in here knows what type of effect is used on songs such as "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap. If theres a specific plug-in that emulates that type of polyphonic effect on vocals please share. I'm currently working with Pro Tools LE (doesn't seem very popular in this world of VST and DirectX individuals, i don't blame y'all ) so anything in RTAS or Audiosuite would be really helpful.

In an interview with the singer, Hide and Seek was made with a harmonizer, not a vocoder
"Out of the corner of my eye i spotted my harmonizer (a little box that you hook up to a keyboard via midi so you can play in the notes you want your voice to transpose to in real time). I hadn't yet written anything with this piece of gear but had always wanted to do an a cappella on this album. I powered it up and connected my microphone into the box and recorded the output to my minidisk. The first thing i sung/played and four minutes later was and is the melody and harmony of the final version."

It looks like that is settled. Good work, DT Chris.

cool. thank you. any specific one you guys would recommend?

I've never used a harmonizer before. I've used pitch shifters, but that isn't exactly the same thing.

I'd do a search for free harmonizer plugins (in your format) and see where that gets you.
