Answer To Last Week's "How'd They Do That? Q: In the Cher song Believe there's a cool vocal effect...How'd They Do That? A: A combination of hybrid digital vocoding and filtering. There were a lot of good guesses! Honorable Mention goes to Jamin (Jay-men) Boggs who said, "Let the studio's pet monkey tune the vocal." Dangerously close was Don from Digital Music Mag who thought it was a Digitech Vocalist. Closest was Ronnie Marler and Aage from Norway who simply said, "It's a vocoder."
