Voice changers, and static burst mods

[Metal4Life]

hey guys, just wanted to get advice from the veteran voice mod'ers out there. Ive got a newton6 voice amp system right now, it works great fits well. But my voice is perfectly clear, and i obviously have no static burst... I think it was the cyberdyne that David is running in his tk, and that sounded great. I would go the rom/fx route but thats an arm and a leg... What do you guys say?

This is what I got:

Stay away from trik toys. It is basically the radio shack amp and you blow on the mic for your static burst. I originally got the old radio shack amp (like your Newton) and blew on the mic for my static burst, but wasn't happy with the sound, too clear. Kai and Eric had the Hyperdyne unit, so I got one and am happy with it.

Yep, Hyperdyne's the way to go if you need an electronic method of making a static burst.
You'll still need an amp and a powered mic for it however, so don't get rid of that newton.
If you really want to alter the end output without a lot of electronics involved, you can always switch out to aerator speakers.  The nature of their size makes the voice sound more TK-ish, though you'll lose volume.

What did the film makers use, or did they just do voice overs with filters?

I actually have a DVD that talks about the behind-the-scenes making of....They had a guy sitting across the street with a walkie talkie and a script, and recorded it.

Thnx for the great advice guys. Ive been lookin into it, and hyperdynelabs is the way im gonna go. Only problem, they are out of stock! Does anyone know how long the wait is in between their board runs?

They are always out of stock. The guy does limited runs as he gets orders. If you contact him and let him know you are interested he will make some more and let you know when they are ready to order. I waited about  3 weeks. He is really easy to talk to  and a nice guy.

...He is really easy to talk to and a nice guy.

I'll second that.  I worked with him to ensure that Skullworx would work with his boards and he was very willing to help.

Fantastic guys, thnx much! =)

Have any group of troopers learned or know sign language? I guess they could also establish alot of military hand gestures and communicate that way too, just for kicks.

[Daverian]

I proposed that once. If we could get people interested in learning common signals it would be a kick! I have a chart of good signals. Paintballers have their own custom signals and some of them are better than the military ones.

Here is a link to the old thread I started a while back:

Well i just got out of the marines. I could teach you guys all the hand signals we used. I was infantry for two combat deployments in iraq.

It'd be pretty sweet to have that down, make us look very proffesional ya know

Metal4Life, thanks for serving man, thats a big sacrifice going over there, especially being a ground pounder if i were military i'd salute you.
