I'm all ears.

Actually, it needn't be a robot, so much as a robotic tweak of the freak. Can that be applied after the vocal track is laid down?

So long as the vocal track is isolated, yes, conditionally.

Conditionally because heavy effects require precise articulation or they sound garbled. One does not mumble if one is to cylon and it's best to be able to audition the effect.

we will make sure the vocals are isolated to a track. And perhaps even two tracks (although I know you could do that). One track of the normal vocals, and one track with the to-be-roboted vocals.

The whole project exists in Logic as multi-track. We'll lay the voices over it.

Yosemite borked the ability for Pro Tools systems using Pro Tools hardware to talk to Logic. I have Logic 9 but it won't even pretend to open anymore and according to Avid, 10 will be the same way for the forseeable future. I'm likely to need to jettison the PT card, which is kinda lame.

I think all of the lyrics should be in the robot voice

Ha. Ha ha. The "robot voice."

Once more with feeling: I have so. Many. Vocoders. Shit, I have a Kyma with enough processors to do a thousand-band realtime vocode. It no longer even sounds like a robot at that point. You can do like talking harps and shit.

Try 6 minutes in if the link borks.

*a robot voice.

Cool video though. How many of us take for granted all the amazing sounds we here in music, film, tv etc?

YES.
