      I had no idea how it really worked either until I got one. Best way to look at it, it's like an acoustic guitar. The strings vibrate and the sound goes into the sound hole and then the guitar amplifies the sound. With a talk box, the synthesizer is (equivalent) to the strings and the sound hole is your mouth, but unlike an acoustic guitar, you can shape each note with your mouth into words in a song.

      Exactly, you have pronounce the "C"s, "K"s, "H"s "F"s "SH"s, "CH"s, "T"s, "S"s and "X"s in order to get the words to sound correctly. Like in the word "happy" you have to make a "Hhh" sound and then mouth the word "-appy". I'm making a video on how to play the talk box and the proper pronunciation techniques in the future so stay tuned if you're curious on how it works! Thanks for watching!

    • @JEzra-cx7bx
      @JEzra-cx7bx  3 роки тому +5

      I'm a huge Daft Punk fan and I do mention them in most of my talk box videos! I do believe their go to instruments for vocals are the talk box and a vocoder.
      When I think of a talk box the first person that comes to mind is Roger Troutman from the 80's - 90's but there has been many great talk box players before him as well. When I think of modern talk box musicians I think of Daft Punk and Mr. Talk Box. Theres a lot of UA-cam talk box musicians that are a big inspiration to me as well 🔥🔥🔥

    • @JEzra-cx7bx
      @JEzra-cx7bx  2 роки тому

      A talk box has an input for the synthesizer signal goin into the talk box, it also has a output for bypass reasons if you’re using a guitar and want to bypass the talk box once your done using it.
      And yes you are right, there is no output for processed sound because the sound is essentially acoustic, you would record someone playing a talk box the same way you would record an acoustic instrument or a vocal track.

    so normally we generate sound pressure with our lungs and we expel it out and then we enunciate with our face/tongue/etc, and the final sound comes out of our mouth. we can catch the sound with a mike and direct it to an amp. we all know this..
    now...
    with the talk box we know the sound pressure goes in your mouth. you mouth the words with your face/tongue/whatever. my question is then... does the final sound come out of your mouth (then into microphone then amp)? or does the final sound just come out of the amp and nothing comes out of your mouth besides air?

    I’ve always watered to use a talk box. Should I purchase one and bring to my studio sessions? Does it hook up like any other midi ? Thank you.

    • @JEzra-cx7bx
      @JEzra-cx7bx  3 роки тому +1

      A talk box is not a midi Instrument, you record the audio on a talk box the same way you record a person singing because a talk box is acoustic sound coming from your mouth, not a digital signal. But with that said, a talk box is super easy to set up and will be super fun to use in the studio!
      Here is my video on how to record a talk box:

      Technically yes but it wont give you the same sound. A synthesizer with a saw wave is the most common used way of getting a talk box style sound.

    Hey man! Cool content for a video! But, I was losing interest pretty quickly. I feel like you could have shown talkbox examples instead of listing/talking about it. Up until at least 1:43 I will would have no idea what a talk box even sounds like. Also, a little more excitement in your voice would be nice haha. It's hard for me to be excited about something if you don't seem excited about it.
    I see your stuff in my recommended all the time! Excited for what you've got coming! I hope this feedback was helpful ^^

  • @chansherly212

    But i dont get how sound can travel down the tube , into the mouth and out to the mic, .. Cause i thought when something makes a sound, the sound waves just radiate out everywhere,, like a stone thrown onto a pond.. but apparently the talk box is able to channel the sounds waves so specifically into the tube only, and i dont hear any of the regular synthesizer sounds

    • @JEzra-cx7bx
      @JEzra-cx7bx  3 роки тому

      Great questions! Yes there is a small speaker enclosed inside of the talk box itself. When the synthesizer send a signal to the the talk box it comes out of the speaker. Generally the speaker would radiate the sound everywhere but since it is enclosed in a metal box the sound waves have no where to go except the path of least resistance which is through the tube.

  • @ggumfory
    @ggumfory 4 роки тому +1

    I still don't get it. I understand the signal comes out of the guitar into the Talk Box that has a speaker and amplifier and that sound goes into the tube and up to your mouth where you can form words. But then what is picking up THAT sound? Your microphone? Is the complete signal coming out of your mouth and into a microphone to be amplified to the audience?

    • @JEzra-cx7bx
      @JEzra-cx7bx  4 роки тому

      Great questions, you are right though. The sound coming out of my mouth is being recorded through a microphone. When the sound exits the talk box and travels up the tube and into my mouth it becomes an acoustic sound source. The same way an acoustic guitar works in essence. You record a talk box the same way you record an acoustic instrument, with a microphone.
      Talk boxes are a lot of fun and if you're still skeptical, I suggest picking one up and trying it. You can even do it on your phone, I made a video showing how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/Bg5F_00urUE/v-deo.html
