Get or stream "How to Talkbox" on Spotify & elsewhere: https://ffm.to/ri001 ... including an Instrumental, if you wanna karaoke :) Lyrics: Ok! This is the story of a song That started out as a remix But they wouldn't release it Such a shame, such a shame Then I said to myself: Shouldn't I just finish it anyway And make it a song for myself? So that is what I did And in this track Step by step I will explain How this works 'What?', you say Well I'm talking about the Talkbox! Here goes: Cause when you talkbox, this is what you do: You play your notes on your keyboard What you play comes out of the tube, not the other way round Which is a common misconception So to clarify: No, you're not singing You make the lyrics with your mouth But you cannot use your vocal cords Which is hard, which is hard Some of the fun things you can do with a talkbox: You can hold a note for as long as you like Because you need no breath Or I can do this for a more speech-like sound. Wow! Cause when you talkbox, this is what you do You play your notes on your keyboard (on your keyboard) What you play comes out of the tube, not the other way round (no no no no) Which is a common misconception (oh dear) So to clarify: No, you're not singing You make the lyrics with your mouth But you cannot use your vocal cords (no no no) And it's hard, so so so hard What else is there to say? If you wanna do harmonies I'd rather not play them all at once I mean you can, but you're getting a lot of distortion Let me demonstrate: Oooooooh Oooooooh Oooooooh Actually that sounds lovely! But for a cleaner sound you'll need overdubs. That's all! Cause when you talkbox, this is what you do (what you do) You play your notes on your keyboard (on the keyboard) What you play comes out of the tube, not the other way round (no no no no) Which is a common misconception (oh dear) So to clarify: No, you're not singing You make the lyrics with your mouth But the talkbox part is over now I'm gonna play some synthesizers Bye! ... info on the equipment used, cause I'm getting a lot of questions: The keyboard is a Clavia Nord Lead 2, and the talkbox a Rocktron Banshee.
