You can take the recorded voice, put it through an audio editor (Audacity if nothing else) and put an EQ effect on it and roll off all of the high frequencies. I'm pretty sure most of this was mentioned already but here's what I'd probably do.ġ. I have audacity - so ideally tips in that tool There are no exact numbers but If you get a basic idea of the concept you shouldn't have a problem.Īny audio expert want to share how one might go about performing the following: say a person walks away from you in a large room, as he steps further away from you, you get more of his voice from the resonating in the room than the source itself. You may have to automate the voice getting thinner and the reverb mix icreasing vs original signal.Īs a person moves away from you, his voice gets meshed into the environment and the mix is more environment than person. you could also play with eq and remove some of the mids as when the person gains more distance his "presence" fades away.and usually that is around the mid range of the voice.ģ) make a voice sound like it is moving away More reverb than signal, again as above, large rooms. Ie ballroom or bathroom each of which would have their own specific reverbs.Ģ) make a voice sound like its coming for a longer distance You eq your voice to sound real, then get a reflective reverb to imitate the door reflection, then take a blend of those 2 and send it to a 3rd reverb that imitates your environment. It helps to consider this things because ultimately that is how you compose the effect. ( which if you want to get complex, is 3 sources of sound, your voice, the reflection off of the door, and the room the door is in ) so you talk, it bounces off door, and both your voice and door reflection get resonated in the room. and it also depends on what side of the door you want to imitate, the inside of the door would sound muffled, while the outside of the door would have the vocal reflection and even sound louder because you have both the reflection and original signal.Ī large room has a long reverb, a small room has a tight reverb, talking to a wall / door is a very tight reverb that imitates a reflection off the wall AND the room environment. I would approach this with EQ by cutting / filtering out the High end of the vocal being that it is blocked off from the door, then I would add a reverb to imitate the reflection of the voice bouncing off the door and environment, a very tight small room ( and make it louder proportionately to the size of the room you are trying to copy ). the voice )ġ) make a voice sound muffled (coming from behind a door) and when you record it that way from the start, you may spend more time trying to make it clear what was recorded so low ( you can usually do that with a compressor, which introduces a new problem.your environment noise gets boosted with the signal you want enhanced. The option “Select Default Communication Device” doesn’t really matter as that basically tells communication programs like skype what device to use which doesn’t apply to us.Hi aknzrdude - What Dulci said does have merit to it, nothing like the real thing, the only draw back is that when you do it that way you also have to compensate for levels since in the end you want to make it 'clear' someone is standing behind a door. On Device marked QU-24 right click and select “Select Default Device”ģ. Right click on the sound icon in bottom right hand corner and select “Playback Devices”Ģ. Select the Source Button to open the mappings.ģ.ğor ST3 change the input source from “LOCAL” to USB.Ĥ.ğor the global USB setting change it from QU-Drive to USB B Streaming.ġ. In the final dropdown list select the sound output device (most likely QU-24)Ģ. In the third dropdown list select 2 Stereoĥ. In the second dropdown list select QU-24Ĥ. Select the input device to Windows Direct Soundģ. Setup Audacity to record using Windows Direct Sound Driver:Ģ. On the QU-24 press the Setup button -> IO Patch -> USB AudioĤ.Ğverything else doesn’t matter as we won’t be using them. Setup the QU-24 to stream to the Computer (from USB-B)ġ. How to setup the Computer to record and play from QU-24: I’m thinking perhaps someone inadvertantly changed one of the settings in Audacity ? It was all working fine 3 weeks ago as per below Audacity setup, but then 2 weeks ago we noticed the meter wasn’t even showing any level when we pressed record in Audacity and the recording came out extremely low and very muffled. We have it connected from PC USB to QU-24 USB-B port, not ST1 or ALT OUT.
