"No jokes please."
*Inhale*
"Very cool loking black tube" got me.
Why are u gae?
@@coreywilliams7085 I saw your mom, and it just kinda happened. :/

@@jarekreagan-walls7156 I’m dead.
I have been playing the talkbox since 1992, and this is the best explanation of it I have heard yet on the internet. Kudos
Johnie Lopez Jr hello I need help
Step 1: Learn to play the keys.
Me: damn.
😂
Lol
Alright, now what if we just... *skip* step 1...
this video is _really_ well-done! everything's explained well, it's paced well, this is what people want to see when they watch "how to" videos.
Always wondered how talk boxes worked. Cool video and very informative
"No jokes please" 😂😂 clear set up for jokes.
JayMartez FromTha48 this comment made me laugh hard asf
was so inviting instead
Intro song:
Lettuce - King of the Burgs
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for demonstrating the setup and how the talkbox works.
Brian Henry; you’re an icon. Tusen Tak!
I love this guy's way of speaking. Like an old school BBC guy. Ainsley Harris comes to mind hahaha
Ainsley Harriot you mean ... Harris lol
Oohohohooo he’s old school bbc alright c;
Synfesizer...
Sean McDonald lmao
SYNTHESIZERS
How us black people pernounce it sometimes.
I think he's more referring to Brits not being about to use their "F's"
symphosizer :D like symphonic :D
You are a God send. Thank you!
This guy was ahead of his time
That was excellent. Thanks for the demo. I've always been intrigued by the talk box and how it's used. Hearing Herbie Hancock, Joe Walsh, and Peter Frampton got me excited about it. I'm wondering if it can be used with bass guitar too. Again, thank you!
This is a clear explanation of how a talkbox works. Thanks!
was the talkbox used before autotune? that is cool really well done tutorial.
Excellent tutorial......👍
Very well explained.
I can't wait to get mine and start using it. I have so many ideas for it
Thank you so much, Brian ~ excellent tutorial, you’re a treasure of music hospitality. Wow, love your sharing, warmvibe. Keep on!
I really want this vocal effect in my music but I don't want to buy a keyboard. Why can't they make a talk box with a built in synthesizer, that would be so much easier. I can't find a pro tools vocal plug in that has a talk box effect 😥
Lil Malice in the same exact boat man 😩😩
That would be cool 😍😍
Isn't that just called autotune?
@@samuelbach1631 2 different sounds: listen to a Zapp & Roger song then afterwards listen to T-Pain, you'll hear a big difference
@@LilMalice I'm not a rap/hip hop guy. Want to give me specific songs by them to compare?
Harder better faster stronger^^, can talkbox also be software not hardware? Thx!
Good demo!! But don't dismiss the minimoog. It's still one of the most revered synths of all time. Moog is actually making new ones.
and there’s also the behringer model d module, that thing sounds pretty darn close
really cool, is there a way you can plug it in an audio interface so you can use it directly in a daw?
Good job man thanks for the video...
Good Demo Brian - good work
Brian Henry's British is just amazing. Love his accent. :D
Nice and clear. Thanks!
Good intro to talkbox...and now to order. 😎
I created (and released) sooo many songs using TTS-Synthesis, Samples, Autotune/Pitch Correction and vocoders but havent touched a talkbox before. It's about time!
great demonstration man
Hi there !
I have just bought myself an Mxr M222 talkbox! The pedal is great really.
Im using fl studio 10 for my production. I have a Presonus Usb 96 as my audio interface, and I am trying to figure out how to make my talkbox work!
So im at the step where my sound in fl studio is setup to my audio interface sound device, so thats suppose to be ok. My two speakers (krk rokits) are connected to the headphones output on my audio interface. Then, I plus my talkbox input to my Presonus left input (as i saw in your video was the trick if i only had one right output and one left output).
Thing is, the sound comes out of the talkbox just fine, but it is my whole computer sound that goes out of the talkbox! I am using a midi controller and a plugin synthetiser as my instrument, but the moment I play a song to jam my talkbox along, the whole song comes back at the talkbox, and also on my speakers too!
I really am trying to find out how to configure this all up with the fl studio mixer interface to be able to talkbox only one instrument, via linking this said instrument to a track and then going into the output settings, but Ive tried everything i can think of!
I really need some help, such a wonderful product!!
Hope you will read this message, thanks for your time!
Jay
thanks for taking the time to make this video, it was very informative
thanks mand great tutorial i just wanna ask how expensive is a talk box?
Always wondered how these things worked. thanks !
Nice one Bri.
Great explanation! Thanks!
This blew my mind
Great video. Thanks.
So good explained!
Byron "Mr. Talkbox" Chambers is really nice with it too...
Amazing! Thanks for this!!
1st time somebody simplified talkbox so my sedated/distracted ass could understand exactly how it works. Keepin this in a playlist
awesome vid
Cool bro, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Awesome tutorial man
Awesome video! Very helpful. Thanks
3:00 how awesome is that?
Can you use a DAW program vst and send it to the talk box?
Ace Beats yes you can.
So, the sound goes out through the tube to your mouth, and to record it you record the sound from your mouth with a microphone?
Dan yep
And the out-channel on the talk box is to record the sound as well?
thats supercool! is it expensive?
I can learn how to play a song just by the sound of the keys I don’t know ABC like the keyboard names or what not and I don’t remember how to read sheet notes I used to know but I don’t remember haven’t practiced in a while.
Hey at 1:32 what cable (output) are you putting into the talkbox? I'm new to this so if anyone could tell me where I could buy a cable like that it would be great. Does it come with the talkbox/piano? Also does the power cable come with the talkbox?
Okay, that's how OMFG achieved these sounds!
I came from OMFG! And I love TalkBoxes
i love talkboxes to
No they're different and you'll be there for a long time trying to get a vocoder like a talkbox ,the sound they create is similar but not the same.
@@georgegeorgio1751 At least someone knows what they are talking about! Vocoder and Autotune will never compare to Talkbox... NEVER!!!!!!!!
Or Daft Punk.
Can anyone tell me what the microphone is for when using the talk box ?
That's the output, without the microphone it won't go through the system. It's like not having your acoustic guitar plugged in.
Great video
I bought a chalk box for my son but it doesn’t come with the wire to hook up to my keyboard so do you know what kind of wire I would need to buy
So are you actually not talking at all and just making the mouth movements or are you actually talking/singing as well but the synth sound is the only one you're really hearing in the output?
I feel dumb asking this but what type of cord is used to hook it up
Is that mike on for the sound? How do you set the overall output from the talkbox...to amp...to mixing board...portable pa system..?
what kind of cord are you using to connect the talk box to the keyboard ? so i can know what both ends look like
Please, and how can I use it with a Nektar Impact LX 88? Is possible through the audio interface?
May I be sent a link to a website where I could purchase the korg and talk box used in the video?
Hi Brian, Great vid 💯✅👍 Just got Banshee 1st gen yesterday. Hooked up in Logic X, using Serum as carrier. All works good but gain has to be set literally off as it’s very noisy even slightly turned up. Is this normal? I’ll put up a video if needed. Wondering if unit is faulty? Thanks in advance... Simon
For recording settings: I guess the synthesized voice is then recorded into the DAW through the Mic? Is that correct?
Awesome!
nice, finally I know what that is and how it works :D Thanks man
Can I use an Arturia 49 mk2 for talkbox? with a converter from jack to mini jack for cv input?
Can you sing & harmonize using only your voice into it & get the same desired effect & results or does it have to always be used with a musical instrument?
Is there another mouth puece that i can use to attach to the hose to put. In my mouth instead of that big hose?
thanks bro. your video help me a lot. ☺😊😀
Do you need to be able to sing good for a talkbox to sound good?
Hey Brian! What´s the name of that talkbox you got there? Awsome tutorial.
he told you in the video
where u get the cords to plug it all in from and what kind do I need?
Could anyone tell me where to get a black tube like he has? His seems really malleable compared to mine, but for some reason I'm having difficulty getting the results I'm looking for when I search online for a talk box tube
awesome man!! thank you very much for the video, great explanation
So can any keyboard work with a talk box, it's what nobody talks about
Or do you need a specific keyboard to work with a talk box?
Jakubi (a great band) use a talkbox and it sounds so good!
How to install into Garageband? Seems not possible, after the download i've moved the folder in Contents - Plugins
Does the box need to amplify the sound when playing with a synth (built-in amp) ?
Does anyone know if it matter's what kind of keyboard you? Trying to go for the Zapp & Roger style.
DX-100
Tim Killuminati you can use the microkorg or the dx100
Thats awesome
Thank you!!!!
Where can i buy the keyboard in this video? i need some help
does that keyboard have to be specific? i have two but do i need a specific kind?
yo what camera was used in this clip?
are you playing the keyboard one-handed while changing the pitch modulation? Or can you play chords with both hands while using the talk box?
I want one but have absoultely no clue what you need, what you need to do etc can anyone help?
I just got a heil sound talkbox, it doesnt have an internal amp so i hooked it up to a Sansui integrated amplifier au-217, but eventhough i have the amp and keyboard at maximum sound, the sound from the tube isn't loud enough to really hear. how do i get it to be louder? you can barely hear it right now.
Get an heavier amp
How do you keep your tongue from blocking the tube and stopping the sound? 😩
Were can I get one
Hello i would like to start using talkbox can you tell me please what do i need ( all the material and accesories) to start thank you. rci Cyril
Does anyone know if a cheap keyboard like a williams legato 3 would produce the right sound for a talkbox, please and thank you
Do I need speakers or just the talk box and keyboard?
Is the BANSHEE 2 better than the MXR model ??
Yes
Yes but only By a tad bit. The speaker can go louder and generates cleaner
is this applicable to all keyboard??
It's so excellent!!! : )
This may sound like a dumb question but please help. I have a synth, a Banshee (1st version) and a practice amp. I can get my synth to output through the tube or, unmodified, through my amp. What do I need to output the modified sound from the tube/my mouth through my amp? Do I need to mic up the tube? If so, with what? Basically,what's the simplest configuration for 1 synth, 1 banshee and an amp? Do I need to route the banshee as a send effect via a mixer?
You need to put up a mic the same way as you would if you're singing, as the sound from the synth is sent through the pedal and the tube to your mouth thus creating the intonation and voice-like features.
So in a live setting: 1 synth, 1 banshee, 1 amp, 1 mic and I dunno if you can connect the mic back into the amp, but probably a speaker.
For rehearsal purposes I believe just using the synth, banshee and amp by themselves can do the trick :)
Many thanks. Thought I should double check.
do they come in a usb plug and play like midi keyboards?
i have a motif xf8 and a Yamaha MOXF6 can i use those keys?
