Synthesised voice on Scooter tracks

Does anyone know who does the synthesised voice used on most Scooter tracks? I went on a pilgrimage to see them in Berlin at the weekend. I had hoped to find out when watching them live, but no answer.

By the way, they were awesome in Berlin. Played loads of old tracks as well as the new album.

Welcome to the forum ;)

Most of the synthesized vocals are sung by Rick, some of them by Nikk, Rick's wife, some of them by a German singer Kamala, there are a few tracks by other women, and one track is by Michael as I know.

Many thanks. Do they ever sing them live or is that bit always pre-recorded?

They either use antares auto-tune or Melodyne to change the vocals - their iconic high pitch vocals arnt the result of a standard pitch shift. You can tell since the vocals dont have a stretchy sound to them. They do somthing called formant shifting - this is basically changing the size of the throat. They shove it up high and apply that good ol cher effect that we all love hehe.

Kriszti it is really unbelievable what you know about H.P., Rick and Michael. Great accomplishment! :thumbup: But... As far as I know Rick hasn't sung any vocals at Scooter tracks. To my knowledge all vocals came from Nikk. She is the "voice" behind the pitched vocals onto the Scooter tracks. ;) Anyway... I love the vocals onto the Scooter tracks! :thumbsup:

On JAOTW the pitched vocals (except Neverending Story) are by Rick.
Also See Your Smile and a few older tracks.
But Stuck On Replay's vocals are so different from the tracks I mentioned above, and it's also a male vocal 8|

Sweety, I won't fight with you, and you could be right in case of JAOTW and the vocals there. No hard feelings in that case! :) But do you have any sources for me? Where did you have read that or heard that with the vocals? 8| It would be interesting for me, because I only heard most of the vocals came from Nikk! Questions over questions! ?(

Look at the first post in this topic:
the *official* low-pitched high-pitched voice thread
You'll find a link there, with some unpitched vocals. ;)

If you have something like sound editor - pitch back the song (for example - posse) - and you hear in more tracks - there's Ricky :)
I'm scooter fan since how much is the fish.

Hey very nice your advice! :) Yeah... When I get back my desktop computer, then I could download such a program. Currently, I'm using a laptop without sound, and specific sound programs. The laptop is just for a simple working and for the internet, but NOT prepared for working onto sound files or video files. ;)
