The Library Voices

I decided to continue working with the Vocoder in Reason and Librivox files. Also, I decided to finish out the Holloween season with another unusual recording with voices.
For this piece, I used three different stories, A Ghoul’s Accountant by Stephen Crane, read by Paul Curran; John Mortonson's Funeral by Ambrose Bierce, read by Frobisher Smith; The Woman In Green by Songling Pu, read by John Burlinson.
I then put the three stories into Reason, where I cut up, re-ordered and reversed some clips. Each track then had a Combinator as an Effects insert. For the first track’s Combinator a Spider Audio into the BV512 Vocoder’s Modulator input, then into a LeSpace. The vocoder’s Carrier input used a Parsec with a Matrix.
For the Combinator on the second track, Vocoder Modulator’s input was setup the same as the first track, with CV Control coming from a Pulsar. The carrier input was a Solaris with a Matrix. The third track’s Combinator Was again setup like the first track for the Vocoder’s Modulator input, but using a ST-1 with Matrix for the Carrier and Little LFO for CV Control.
After mixing and equalizing the tracks, I used an Audiomatic and two RV7000 mk2’s as Main Mixer Insert FX. For the Master FX, I used a Dual Band Compression Combinator into an Ozone.
I finished the track in Audacity, where I used a Reaktor FX ensemble and Normalizing.
