Thread: Halloween Rock Band Prop

Tweet

My wife wants me to build a monster "rock Band" And i have some ideas, just don't know where to begin! My idea was to take talking bucky heads (you know the ones with the bone microphone?) well i plan on using these for the heads of the monsters. My question is how to get seperate voice and music tracks to play on two different cd players or on two different speakers? This way I can put the skulls microphones up to the voice track so their mouths move with the voice, but you can still hear the music through the other speaker? PS I am electronicly challanged!

I think that you are talking about Talking Boris heads. You might be hard pressed to find any of those (if you do, let me know.)

If you found those, you might be able to download a free program called "Audacity," put the music track on the left channel, record your own voice for the voice track on the right channel, and separate it that way.

My guess though, is that there would be so much external noise with the microphone up to the voice speaker, that the mouth movement wouldn't work very cleanly.

There are other options (Cowlacious board, Scary Terry circuit, hacked spirit ball) that are covered on the threads here. If you aren't electronicaly inclined, and due to the short time before Halloween, these might be difficult.

If you are interested, though, I could probably find the right threads for you and post a link.

i think you cut the microphone wire & splce it to your speaker wire, so it only gets one chanel per head. its on the forum somewhere, just search boris

Here is an option that is a load of fun:
