nikoli Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi, I have 3 vocal tracks that I am sending to an aux bus. I would like to send the output of that aux bus back to a software instrument track (which is a vocoder). Is this even possible? Is there a better way to go about this?

Ploki Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Yes, via "sidechain" input on the vocoder. You select the "bus" that your 3 tracks are being sent to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You select the "bus" that your 3 tracks are being sent to Well dang... that's what I tried before I posted. It doesn't seem like it's doing anything... like no audio is being sent to the vocoder track. The meter never moves. W The 3 tracks go to Bus 6. The vocoder side chain is set to Bus 6. Seems like it should be working but nothing is happening :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploki Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 which vocoder are you using? you need to do two things with most of them to get sound: - press a midi note on the vocoder strip - enable vocoder to use side chain as source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusbur Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 As far as I remember, the Logic vocoder doesn't work like that in real time? You have to have the track playing - correct me if I'm wrong anybody ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikoli Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 I think the mystery is solved. Ploki was right... I had to have a midi not drawn. After I did that, I still wasn't hearing anything. I found that I also had to 1. Choose a vocal preset in the Evoc, and 2. Turn the level way up on the Evoc to hear the effect. After that it's working pretty darn good!
