How to Recreate Kavinsky’s “Nightcall” | VocalSynth 2

You might have heard French producer Kavinsky’s “Nightcall” in the 2011 film “Drive” or in Kanye West’s “Wolves.” In this video, we walk through how to recreate the iconic vocals from this synthwave classic.

Containing a suite of synthesizer-based modules and otherworldly sounds, iZotope’s VocalSynth 2 allows you to craft the unique sound for your vocals that you’ve been searching for.

[TheDropOfTheDay]

From the Nightcall stems - He used two layers, one spoken and one whispered

[UrbanLikwid]

Pro Fact Too: All of Kavinsky's tracks from like 06' to present day were made inside the box. In an interview he stated he used no analog gear to produce any of his tracks. All software based, I found that really surprising.

I feel for Max every time he's gotta show his raw vocals lol.

This voice effect in this song is so good, it gives a creepy but, in some way, a emotional feel to the lines. it got me in the instant I heard on "Drive". An amazing song to an AMAZING movie.

Looks like the key concept is the noise + bitcrush... I'll try this in logic. Thanks!!!!

"Oh cool I think I'll buy thi--"

"Oh cool I think I'll find a cracked version of this"

The effect is weird, but sound really nice in context.
