How to Make an Auto Tuned Voice on Fruity Loops
Vocoder effects tune vocals to the notes of a musical instrument as well as meld the two elements into one. The effect animates the musical instrument, also known as the carrier, with the speech of the voice, or "modulator." You can use vocoders, a system that analyzes and synthesives sounds, to sing perfectly tuned notes and give voices to your musical instruments. And if you use Fruity Loops, now FL Studio, to compose your music, you can take advantage of the program's native vocoder and sing auto-tuned notes in your audio projects.
