[TUTORIAL] Freaky alien voices with Antares Mutator + How to make your voice sound Goauld in Ableton Live

Until June 30th, Antares Mutator can be bought from audioMIDI.com for US$10. It's an attraction to get you to buy the whole AVOX 2 bundle. I found Mutator fun but don't have a burning need for it — still, I hope you enjoy this video showing a bizarre range of what it can do:

Some people remarked I started sounding Asgard at the end, and I've done Goa'uld voices in the past. So as a tip of the hat to Stargate SG-1 and knowing the question comes up a fair bit, here's my tutorial on how to use a flanger + pitch-shifting in Ableton Live to sound like those parasitic System Lords. There's also a gate + limiter effect, but as I explain, those are optional.

The really awesome thing is after you have an effects chain setup, you can easily drop in just about any voice clip and Goauldize it. Easier than having to run one process after another in a sound editor that doesn't allow live chaining like this.

Add Joel Goldsmith's original score for the final authentic touch!
