What Effects Are On These Vocals?

[jack s.]

I'm a huge Justice fan and I was curious if any of you guys can identify what vocal effects are being used on these recordings. Let me know what you can identify. Thanks in advance,
-Jack

On'N'On sounds like Autotune set really hard(the old "Cher" effect) with a short plate reverb and some tight doubling, like maybe the old H3000 trick or one side at +6 cents and the other side at -6 cents. The other one sounds like a short delay that fed to the reverb enough to soften the sound of the delay(or maybe the delay is ducked by the vocal track). Probably also tuned, but not quite as hard. That's my take, but I expect others may have different ideas(that may be just as good as mine). With the technology available now, there's usually more than one way to skin a cat...er...track

Cool:) Thanks for the advice. I'm new to this type of music so I don't know a lot of the effects these guys use....time to experiment.

Load it into Tools, phase-invert one side (left OR right), then mono-sum.
Everything in the centre cancels (often voc, bass kick), everything that's on the edges of the stereo image remains (usually fx, pads, some guitars etc).

This little trick really helps to identify vocal effects.

Works much better with songs in 'proper' sound quality (CD quality or better); everything MP3 or youtube will mainly show compression artefacts.

Hope this helps.

I've produced a few projects that sounds similar. Not to be a copycat here:)) We would stack the vocal a few times, run each one through harmonizer/vocoder/auto Tune in full force. Each vocal processed separate with one not sellected on a plugin. So in essence you only hear one note at a time stacked 3-5 times. Eq the mids out of it and maybe add some brilliance with old SSL high shelf, I guess McDSP E6 has that characteristics too. Add a bit filtered Echo-boy to taste almost fading with original sound but creating length...
