Special Effects
Exploring treatments such as ring modulation and vocoding could transform your mix in ways you never thought possible. Mark Cousins shows you how...

While effects such as reverb and delay have been staple treatments in productions for decades, a whole range of radical and exciting sonic possibilities can be found by exploring some of those effects you perhaps don’t pay as much attention to and applying them in somewhat unconventional ways. Tools such as vocoders, ring modulators, spectral processors, decimators and so on can transform an otherwise lifeless guitar sound or drum loop into a part that offers fascination and interest to the ear. Of course, many studios of old would have struggled to find these kinds of effects, but today’s audio production environment is positively brimming with interesting and unusual signal-processing options, from dedicated hardware processors such as Korg’s Kaoss Pad to the ever-growing range of plug-ins designed to excel at the unusual.
