So you’re interested in buying a talkbox? Or perhaps you own one, but are not satisfied with the results you are getting, and you’re left wondering if you can do better?

This producer duo DaDa Life explain their techniques for using and recording with a (Banshee) talkbox. Fast forward to the 20 or 24 minute mark, and you’ll see/hear them demonstrating how they use and record the talkbox. This was one of the most helpful bits of information that I found in my research. Thank you DaDa Life and Future Music Magazine!
