Devil of decorrelation enters our life

Your original words have merit and value… and I’m sorry I am not able to do more with it. Please let me explain: Because (#1) I am not blessed with a pleasant singing voice and (#2) I haven’t much breath in my lungs (due to my illness) I really must use the vocoder. Using a *my* vocoder for an entire song – with many words – would make for a muddy song. The very expensive vocoders probably do a much better job of being able able to transform analog voice into digital tones. Instead, small phrases (at times used repeatedly) help mow an impression of just exactly what is being said/sang in the song.

Another thing – I find no one really likes my vocoder songs and it’s best to keep them to as short of a running time as possible!

Jimbo,
don’t believe them. They are only lying to themselves. Those that love your songs truly love them, and those that do not, merely have not found the love yet. It will find them. You are the Daniel Johnston of ONSUG.

Every artist has systems, and you have found one that works for you. I would venture that no matter the money spent, you have already found a sweet spot that works on many levels.
I used to make cutup tapes, and even with digital non destructive non linear editing, nothing beats the old floating record head I had on my Harmon Kardon tape player. I could pause and re-start recording with no gap, seamless, and it made construction of song elements strung together perfectly mesh with my production techniques. Its the systems that we make work, that end up working best. Your limitations also inform your unique style.
We work well together, I think we are on the same mission:
i. Fighting pterodactyls in virtual reality
ii. Swahili – thought of today – All trees are greased for monkey death
iii. you know, really, I’d rather just take that old Dracula train to Hong Kong.
iv. I wish more places had elevator music
v. I can make my eyes change color at will
