Re: Help with 'ghoul' voice effect

Ahhh, I'm almost there..... When I record through my laptop mic (several year old HP EliteBook), everything works great. But when I record through my headset (cheapo Microsoft), no matter what I do, Audacity keeps starting the recording at the END of the song track. I definitely need to be able to s...

Re: Help with 'ghoul' voice effect

Grallion seems perfect! So one last detail. I'm trying to make it easier to do recording of Karaoke song and my singing in one pass. I'm recording through my laptop speakers/mic and playing the music from a Bose SLIII bluetooth speaker inches away. Why is it that Audacity can pick up my voice when I...

Re: Help with 'ghoul' voice effect

I got it to work! I didn't have the Wet all way up at 200%. I hate be so nit picky, but the ghoul singing in a Gollum voice sounds off. How hard would it be to replicate a voice more similar to Gargamel, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQAvFlEe3xA ?? Or is that just how the actor talks and ther...

Re: Help with 'ghoul' voice effect

I'm moving in the Karaoke direction. I'm stuck on the recording part. Using Windows WASAPI. I've tried various attempts using a headset and without. Seems like it either records the Youtube music but not my singing, or just my singing but not the music. Is there any way for it to record both the You...

Re: Help with 'ghoul' voice effect

This is super. Thanks so much! Just one more question. Say I was trying apply a consistent Gollum voice to snippets of songs by different artists. Obviously the artists all have different voices. Will what you have suggested work for that, or is that even possible... to have them all sound consisten...

Help with 'ghoul' voice effect

I'm on Windows 10 Audacity 2.3.3. Complete newbie, please be patient. Attached is a Ghoul halloween prop I've created (he sways back and forth and head tilts up and down). Just need to get him some eyes. Anyway, I want him to speak some recorded sayings for the folks passing by. Every tutorial on yo...

Envelope tool at max

I have two voice sound files from the same person. The first is louder than the second, and I'd like to increase volume of the second to match the first. When I use the Envelope tool, the maximum stretch still only gets me at about 70% of my desired volume. Is there another way to increase the volum...

Why left and right channels have different volume levels?

Hi, I'm a complete novice to Audacity and audio recording, so pardon if this question is ignorant. I'm using Audacity to record/transfer my minidisc music to my computer. I'm using 16-bit Stereo at 44100 Hz. Currently transferring Beatles Abbey Road, which I originally recorded onto minidisc from pl...
