On intense tracks like &#8220;BLKKK SKKKNHEAD,&#8221; Kanye has been known to transform his own voice into a fuzzy melodic lead sound that would make Dimebag Darrell jealous. My favorite example of this classic effect actually comes on <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Jg5wkZ-dJXA?t=19m39s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the outro of &#8220;Runaway,&#8221;<\/a> which features Kanye humming or scatting an evocative vocal line over a tender piano and string accompaniment. This effect is characterized by an intense pitch correction setting coupled with some serious distortion\u2014well within VocalSynth 2\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"How to Recreate Kanye West\u2019s \u201cRunaway\u201d | VocalSynth 2\" width=\"370\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YCF0CWcskdI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5047 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IconicSongsVocalSynth2_InPost_Artboard-9-e1530293516393.png\" alt=\"iconic-songs-decoded-vocalsynth-09\" width=\"1280\" height=\"886\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IconicSongsVocalSynth2_InPost_Artboard-9-e1530293516393.png 1280w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IconicSongsVocalSynth2_InPost_Artboard-9-e1530293516393-355x246.png 355w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IconicSongsVocalSynth2_InPost_Artboard-9-e1530293516393-400x277.png 400w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IconicSongsVocalSynth2_InPost_Artboard-9-e1530293516393-768x532.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IconicSongsVocalSynth2_InPost_Artboard-9-e1530293516393-1024x709.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IconicSongsVocalSynth2_InPost_Artboard-9-e1530293516393-722x500.png 722w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IconicSongsVocalSynth2_InPost_Artboard-9-e1530293516393-1200x831.png 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/886;\" \/><br \/>VocalSynth 2 settings for &#8220;Runaway&#8221;<\/h6>\n<p>Although the distortion and pitch correction modules are doing most of the work here, Vocoder and Talkbox are adding some nice synth flavor as well.

There\u2019s not much tweaking of VocalSynth 2 needed here, but you do want to be careful to adjust the <strong>High \/ Mid \/ Low<\/strong> register setting on each track to the relevant pitch. It\u2019s pretty straightforward\u2014when singing in a head voice or falsetto, use the <strong>High<\/strong> pitch option. For low-pitched voices or others singing with a chest voice, try putting the selector on <strong>Low<\/strong>.
