Is talkbox same as vocoder?

SOS Contributor Craig Anderton replies: A ‘talk box’ is an electromechanical device that produces talking instrument sounds. A vocoder has two inputs: one for an instrument (the carrier input), and one for a microphone or other signal source (the modulator input, sometimes called the analysed input).

What does a talk box do?

The “talk box” is a unique effect that allows you to modify an audio signal — most commonly a guitar sound — using the player’s mouth as a filter to shape the sound. The talk box itself consists of a box, in which a speaker (often a compression driver) feeds into a plastic tube.

What does a vocoder do?

A vocoder is an audio effect that lets you impose the dynamics and changing spectral content of one sound (the modulator) onto another (the carrier). The modulator is usually the human voice, speaking or singing, while the carrier is usually a bright synthesizer.

Does a talkbox make you sound better?

“It adds nuance to what you’re singing. Sometimes it’s cool to not use it at all — you get a very direct sound — but when you use it tastefully, it can add a lot. Anything that would sound good when you’re just playing a normal synth lead is going to sound good when you’re doing it through a Talk Box.”

Is a talkbox Autotune?

Talkbox and Autotune are completely different effects. In the former sound of an instrument is modulated through a hose in the singer’s mouth, in the latter the frequencies of the singer’s voice are digitally manipulated, yet for many people they sound similar.

Is vocoder the same as Autotune?

What is the difference between a voice encoder and a talk box?

Talk box is a physical effect – often guitar pedal. It’s a speaker (usually with its own amp which is fed into a tube which is usually terminated next to a mic.

What is the vocoder and how does it work?

The Vocoder is a device that analyzes speech, measures the frequency band of the voice, and then stores the data in numbers. Then it re-creates the same voice by reversing the entire process by eliminating the original voice and turning it to robotic sound.
