Funnily enough, curiosity sparked by the original question, I was reading Tweak's guide to recording vocals[1] and I read this: Q) How do i get vocal effects like on Cher's "Believe"? I heard it was done with a Vocoder. A) Nope. It was done with a pitch/intonation processor, like Antares AutoTune. You get that effect by "abusing" the settings. You tell autotune you are singing only Ab and and Eb notes and you sing F and C notes. Auto tune will bend your vocal notes to the closest selected pitch giving that "yodel-like" sound Is that the same thing? Unfortunately (or fortunately, according to taste :) I haven't heard Cher's "Believe". 1) http://www.tweakheadz.com/how_to_record_vocals.htm and http://www.tweakheadz.com/how_to_process_vocal_tracks.htm No Linux content, but an interesting read.. - Pete.
