How to apply a specific effect

Post by UnknownGlaze » Sat Jul 19, 2014 12:30 am

So there's this robotic effect that I would like to create (Found in this video), but after using google and trying on my own, I have not found the way to produce such an effect. :(

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Try Effect > Vocoder. This effect is produced by combining two different audio signals and you have to provide both of them. That's why the voice has a monotone quality to it. If you move the background signal around, the voice will move with it.

Effect > Vocoder

Sounds to me strongly like a comb effect.
Try this in the Nyquist Prompt:

Code: Select all

(comb (scale-db -13 s); adjust gain of the input sound
      1.0; similar to "mix", values 0.0 - 1.0
      100); first frequency boosted 
          ;(..., 200, 300, 400, ...) are also affected

Try this YT tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8BZz62Z ... WS&index=7

We link to it from the Audacity Wiki which links to a couple of other useful voice effects - see here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Categ ... ce_Effects
