X-Wing fighter radio vocal effect?
Win 10
Aud. 2.3.2
I'm looking to reproduce that warbly, distorted radio sound you hear when the X-Wing fighter pilots speak on their radios.
That doable with Audacity?

Re: X-Wing fighter radio vocal effect?
It's a long time since I've seen StarWars, but the usual approach for creating a "walkie-talkie" type effect is:
1) Apply some distortion (For example, the "Leveller" distortion https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/distortion.html)
2) Apply a "band pass filter" (For example, the "walkie-talkie preset https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/equalization.html)

Copy & paste the code into Nyquist prompt ...Rickenbacker wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2019 12:37 amI got lost after following the link & clicking on the download.
Then apply Nyquist prompt like any other Audacity effect.
Then you have to apply a phone/walkie-talkie/ radio effect,
(i.e. 200Hz-4000Hz bandpass with hard compression).
Then you'll need to perfect an Australian accentRickenbacker wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2019 12:51 amThis is EXACTLY what I'm shooting for!
