There’s probably more but I have not the time to search…. It’s been 3 months of charges after I cancelled.

I contacted customer support and addressed that I cancelled and am still being charged, they told me sorry you’re obligated to pay 2 months. “I did the trial with auto tune, i cancelled before the trial ended and have been charged 3 times. Their have been monthly billing issues, double billings, authentication issues, licenses disappearing, and the worst part is they are still billing me despite my numerous attempts to cancel and it even says I cancelled on their site.” “Since January I have been trying to unsubscribe. I would make a note to think twice before giving any payment details to Antares… I have seen quite a few alarming posts about charging customers twice and even refuse to unsubscribe people… last post I saw was on gearspace… I’ll try it out myself, but I’d like to hear what others are thinking as a Talkbox fan. So, if anyone has prior experience with it, please share in the comments. With the negativity out of the way, I do want to get excited about Articulator.

Then, I watched the short intro video on the product page, and it sounded closer but still not great.Īs I haven’t tested the product before sharing this news, I can’t say it’s terrible it might turn out to be very good.īut, I can say that Antares has done themselves no favors by putting out content that makes Articulator sound far from authentic. It sounds like a very average vocoder, not a proper Talkbox. The reason for my lowered expectations is that (in my opinion) the official tutorial video makes it sound terrible. I wasn’t aware of Articulator till now, and I have to say, after my initial excitement, I now have lower expectations. If you haven’t heard it a million times already, check out his Talkbox performance on Snarky Puppy’s Sleeper (We Like It Here). I think of Roger Troutman, Funk, Hip Hop, and one of my favorite modern keyboard players, Shaun Martin.

In this particular song, you can hear the Talkbox mirror the bassline. While Bon Jovi isn’t the first name that comes to my mind, it’s a good example of different ways to use the Talkbox. One of the examples of Talkbox use given by Antares is Bon Jovi’s Living on a Prayer. It’s an acquired taste, but I love the Talkbox sound (either in moderation or severe Funk overload).īy subscribing to a 14-day trial of Auto-Tune Unlimited, you can download Articulator (usually $69) for FREE.
