Some effect tips for a new user/editor please

@MazMan

My aim for using the software is to get an existing song, remove the vocals so the background music remains, then sing into a mic and mix with the music.

Missing features

@MazMan

Regarding effects, i’m looking for ways to make the voice not seem flat. Something like what this user has done [see 1st post]: http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=186304 How can i achieve something like that anyone?

Free chorus effect … How can one person sound as a complete choir? - #3 by Trebor

@MazMan

Finally, another effect i’m after is like a radio effect on background vocals…? any tips on trying to replicate that result?

Radio (or telephone) can be simulated by a narrow band pass filter which removes frequencies above 5000Hz and below 200Hz (approximate values)
This can be done using Audacity’s equalisation filter.

Intercomm effect and radio effect

Hey folks, I’ve got two seperate effect examples here: an intercom effect and a radio effect (excuse the background music and other voices). I’ve been trying quite hard to replicate these kind of effects in Audacity, and I’ve come somewhat close, but the results haven’t been great. What would I need to do to achieve such effects? Thanks so much for helping out. ^^,
