Opening (first 30 seconds)
Alexander Panos's little bubbly clicky sounds are so good. So to make these, I'm just going to get an old notebook and record myself kind of flipping around with it. Then I'm just going to add in a vocoder, turn on enhance, and it already sounds pretty cool. But to take it to the next level, we're going to change the carrier to pitch tracking. And then here's the important part. You're going to turn the high all the way

Alexander Panos's little bubbly clicky sounds are so good. So to make these, I'm just going to get an old notebook and record myself kind of flipping around with it. Then I'm just going to add in a vocoder, turn on enhance, and it already sounds pretty cool. But to take it to the next level, we're going to change the carrier to pitch tracking. And then here's the important part. You're going to turn the high all the way down and the low all the way up.
So it doesn't actually lock on to or track a pitch. If it starts doing that, you just have to delete this and start again. Then we're going to turn the bands up to 40. Then when you play it, you're not going to hear much. So to get it louder, I'm going to add an OTT and just bump up the output. Now to get it a little more watery, let's turn up the depth, the formant, and then the release. and turn the bands all the way down.
And remember that with Vocoder, you can always use this part of the screen as an EQ to take out some unwanted lows or something like that.
The words are the caption track's own and nothing is reworded or re-transcribed. Paragraph breaks are placed between sentences so the text reads as prose.
