Insert points

Half normalled e.g. plug return in

Fully normalled e.g. send or return to break link

Decibels

Sound Pressure Level (spl)=20 log (p/p reference)

Preference = 20 micro Pascal

Use condenser mic to phantom for work with vocoda

Use di box with xlr to jack for mic insert into vocoda to boost signal

303 left in of effects return mic di right in of effects return

This gives amazing sounds as your voice oscillates with the ups and downs of the 303 or use another 303 as the carrier, a continuous sound is best and try to find a vocoda with 20+ slices of voice filtering e.g. boss se70.

Pitch shift +3 , -5 or any 3rd 5th 7th note from root combination

Compress all 303 signals especially when using resonance also this keeps things level instead of too hi (cof hi res low) or too low when the cof is hi and res is hi.

Try to use balanced 3 pole jacks, as analogues are noisy, if you can find a noise gate use it all the time. Keep things cool when recording and use short leads.

Distortion is the effect for the 303 use a noise suppressor after the distortion and overdrive stages try to enhance the mid and upper stages without increasing the level of noise.

de essers pink noise bass eliminators

white noise higher frequencies eliminate with graphic equaliser

Try flanges with pingpong or building delays

Tune each 303 used to different notes and play the same synced pattern on each also use a different effect on each or run the sound through the filter bank of the bass station etc keep each of the notes in key and this sounds like you are playing chords
