Dude what do you mean it would take an army of techs and synths? That’s complete nonsense.

I’ve been owning and playing synthesizers both hardware and software based since I was ten. This isn’t the middle ages.. Watch the vid of Capsule in their”studio” which is basically a pc and a tiny sound booth.
LOL. You do know that are “LIVE” versions of songs right? Pick any artist their live performances will differ from the studio version. So no reason why Capsule cant as well.

Meanwhile, her vocals are both vocoded and dynamically pitchshifted, as well as having a few flanger effects applied here and there. Meaning it would take at least 2 people playing synths and controlling the effects to make it sound like it does on the record. For a duo that simply doesn’t make sense.

Also, yes, you can do live versions, but when the sound of your music relies so heavily on the computerized voice, I’m not sure it’d turn out pretty.
“LOL”

i dont think the main focus in capsule is the “vocals”.. i mean yasutaka edits those for a reason.. youre probably supposed to pay more attention the holistic, techno sound imo. he doesnt even use her voice for some songs, so id assume toshiko’s just there to provide the voice whenever he needs it.
