Gasoline Dreams(Outkast)-FX on Chorus

Ray Sr. · 5th June 2008, 11:58 PM

Anybody have an idea how they got this effect on the chorus?
I'm trying to get a similar effect.

sounds like they use a distoration effect with a resonant filter. I usta bump that track like everyday. "DOn't everybody like the smell of gasoline" dope ish.

Yeah
I tried a few things but ain't nothing happenin'
A friend told me it sounds like there is some pitch shifting on the echo. I'm gonna try it out tomorrow.
Thanks for the reply.

*UCK I MISS THOSE DAYS!

Outkast used to be ready to take over the world and than Andre just got too critical of his own stuff.

I get the impression he can't release anything unless it is totally artistic and deep et cetera.....his standards are so damn high.....

Dude just needs to rap and have fun.

Not that I don't like all his music, just miss his straight dope raps.

That sounds like an straight overdub vocal with a lot of fast room size reverb so the vocal is constantly resonating the reverb's virtual space. Go into your bathroom (because it has hard and smooth refelective surfaces) and say, "Don't everybody like the smell of gasoline." at increasing volumes and hear how out at some point the refelcted sound will really take over and your voice won't really be what you are hearing. That is the space reverberating. That is totally what I hear.

It sound like there are other overdubs as well just for fattening.

There is some delay as well but that part is obvious.

I appreciate it. I tried the bathroom deal, sounds a lot closer than what I was trying. I'll mess with it more later today.
