Re: Fixing "Robot" Voice

I don't think the frequencies over 3kHz are "extra"! I'd boost them a little, not kill them. They'll help you differentiate the vowels. I notice four discrete pitches ringing up around high C, D, E-flat, and A (roughly 1050, 1170, 1250, and 1750 Hz). Are they in the source, or were those resonances...

Fixing "Robot" Voice

Hi all - I'm new here, but I am trying to fix a sort of "robot effect" on a series of lectures I need to watch for class. (This will amount to several dozen hours of audio with this problem, so any suggestions are welcome.) Does Audacity have some effect that can counter this distortion (the clip is...
