Filter to make voice sound more "warm"

Looking for the best settings within garageband's filters to make my recorded voice sound a little more full and warm. Im using an Audio Technica AT2020 mic and honestly it sounds really full of treble of cold. Any thoughts?

The Apple Audio Units include a graphic equalizer: you could boost the lower frequencies - not the very lowest, but starting around 100Hz. Don't just boost one frequency, make a smooth cirve from the sliders: bring it back to normal by 1kHz and you might want to roll it down above 3kHz.

Popping/ crackling filter to make film sound like 20s film

Is there a built in filter in FCPro HD that will allow the audio to have the old sounding "pops and crackles" that you hear in older movies.
Also, is there a video filter that will give me the effect of lines and artficats in the film itself that you see like when you go to an old movie theatre and little black shapes appear on the screen from time to time.
THanx!

If you export to a QuickTime Movie, there's some filters you can apply during that process ... like hair, scratch and dust (I think) ... and they're included free in QTPro.
Other than that, the best film effects package I've seen and used is from www.nattress.com
As for the sound, I've heard pops and crackling on old LP recordings, but not on old films. Perhaps you could sample some of the scratch and pop noises from an old album and build your own 'noise' track.

What sound filter to use to make a mans voice sound like he's outside.

Hello, I have several ADR files of people talking. I need to add a filter to make it sound like they are talking outside. Any specific suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try something like this, adjust to taste:
Note that this will drop the volume of the track substantially, you will need to adjust the clip level after you've applied the effects.

How do you make a voice sound "creepier" in SP

Anybody know a process filter or group of filters to make voices sound creepier?
Thanks.

can you be more specific? creepier how? what style creepy?
Use EQ to filter out the higher and/or mid frequency bands. If you need person to sound like they are speaking on telephone, preset is there.
Use the vocal transformer plugin. Some good presets there.
Subtle use of distortion plugins or Guitar Amp plugin
Space designer - try some warped effects.

Text to wav files - make it sound human voice?

Hi, I have a program called text to wav, it lets you type in whatever you want to say (I'm doing this for a movie I'm puttiing together, creating voices for the "actors" b/c my actors aren't real people, they're to be human models created in 3DS max) in a text field (you have your pick of which voice to use, MS mike voice, MS sam voice, or MS mary voice), then you can save it as a wav file.
Ok, i did this, and I've loaded it into audition (my version of audition is from adobe CS 2 suite) and I'm using the Adobe Audition classroom in a book for this version of audition to attempt to make this voice sound human, that is, more like a human's voice would sound, and so far, I think I'm getting the results I want in this wav file, but I'd like to upload it to this post so you guys can take a look at this file.
how do I upload a wav file to adobe forums so I can receive help with it?
i see the video upload link, i tried this, but it says to upload as a youtube file, and at this point i'm not too confortable with putting any of the audio files (created from text to wav) or video animation files (created from 3ds max) out on youtube/the internet yet, since my movie is not yet finished/burned on dvd for distribution at this time, so how do i do this so I can receive help with this audio file?
my laptop is a dell xps m1530 running xp home sp3, 4 gigs ram, 1 TB hdd,
thanks in advance.

Ha Ha!
You seriously think that Adobe would let you post an audio file on its audio software forum?
Yeah, well we did too. Unfortunately the people who run the forum software don't seem to understand that (or a lot else that we've asked about), so you simply can't do it.
Get a Dropbox basic account, put your file in the dropbox folder on your computer, right-click on it and find the public link, copy it and post that to the forum. The reason that I'm suggesting Dropbox specifically is that you just get a link to a file, and not to a load of download garbage that you get with other providers, which is a right PITA.

Make a teenage voice sound older

I am recording voices in a rural Moroccan dialect to dub onto a documenatry that was produced in English in order for illerate women here to be able to understand the video (it is about women's rights). There are only teenage girls who can read the script but some of the documentary voices are from older women. So what specific filters do you suggest to make a young female voice sound older. I have tried lowering the pitch a bit which works somewhat for boys' voices, but it does not seem as effective for girls'. Any ideas. I am not trying to win an Oscar with this effort, but I don't want the viewer to be distracted by a young voice dubbed over a middle-age woman.

There are several ways to modify pitch. The plugin version is probably going to be the least effective in this situation. If you haven't tried it, using the destructive audio editor (Sample Editor -> Factory -> Time and Pitch Machine) might provide better results — but be sure to save a copy of your unmodified audio, in case you need to undo.
That said, it might be more distracting for the listener to hear a voice that has obviously been modified. A message is a message, no? If the age/sound is a serious concern, it might be worthwhile to cast older women for the voiceover. Or ... why not have the young woman read and translate the script, then have the older woman ADR/record it line-by-line?

Voice Over in FCPX makes no sound

I recorded a Voice Over in FCPX- and I can see the waveform but it makes no sound. It moves the meters but makes no sound. There is other sound playing. What's up with that? any angels?

Just to be sure, select the audio clip and press 'V' (this activates or deactivates a clip). Does this make any difference?
Otherwise, I suggest you try trashing your preferences.
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then if they get corrupted you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.
Can't guarantee it, but it's worth a try.

My iPhone 4 microphone that handles standard voice/sound cannot pick-up sound unless the speakerphone, or a headset is used to make/receive calls the other end caller cannot hear me. Any Suggestions? This seems to be common on forums.

Same issue on my wife's iPhone 4S. I suspect it is related to the recent 6.1.2 iOS update (Note: I have a 3S and the update did not cause any issues).
I've tested both bottom and top mics on the 4S using video recorder and both mics work fine. Speakerphone and headset during calls also work fine. The issue is only related to the bottom mic while making calls. I can hear the caller but the caller cannot hear me. If I hold the mic very close to my mouth, the caller can hear a very low level signal.
The problem appears to be software related, not hardware.

Make stereo voice sound like analog from 70's movies

Hi, I have a voice over that is recorded in a high quality, normal voice and I would like to make it sound like a voice from 70's movies. Sort of gritty, analog sound. What should I tweak in Soundtrack Pro?
Here are the examples of the sound I'd like to achieve:

Many thanks

If I only had stock STP effects to use, I would attempt this with a combination of EQ, Compression/Limiting, and a tiny bit of Overdrive or distortion.
Use the EQ to roll off the high frequencies a bit, experiment with compression to get the right punch, and very subtle Overdrive to try to imitate the tape grit.
Have fun!

I have a MX 860 Printer and it makes a squeaking sound during warm-up but not during printing.

This printer is making loud squeaking sounds during warm-up, it prints ok but I don't know where it is coming from or how to go about fixing it.Any help would be appreciated.

Possible to make Voices Muffled?

Hi, I'm not sure if I should ask here or GarageBand or Logic Express discussion page, but I thought I would ask the people who would probably use this feature in videos purposely if making a short film or movie.
I need to muffle the sound of voices to make them sound like they're in the next room. Is there a way to do this in Final Cut Pro?
I've been wanting to do this for a while because I knew I would one day need it, and now is the time.
Fortunately, my friend was kind enough to do it on his PC for me. He was able to do it on Sony Vegas, telling me it was an effect called the Resonant Filter that changes high and low frequencies.
Sound editing not being my specialty, I was hoping someone here would know if it's possible on a Mac somewhere, if not in FCP.
Thanks very much for your time.
Jorge

Intelligibility in voices is mainly in the 2000 hz range up to about 6000 hz or 2k to 6k depending on gender age and voice type. cut that range and things start to get muffled. a Low Pass Filter (only low frequencies pass) down to 1k will make things muffled. The slope of the filter (how many decibels (db) per octave) will determine just how deep you need to pull the effect. 12db/octave is normal for most interiors. A really hard space like a tile bath or racquetball court might have a more gentle roll off like 6db/octave. A very plush space might have 18db/octave.
For ambiance you need to find a reverb plugin that has room type presets. You can only judge for yourself what is appropriate.

Converting cassette to cd using garageband. Voice on cassette sounds like chipmunk. Is there a way to fix the speed during recording on garageband, so the voice sounds normal?

Librarian Asst. needs your help! Trying to preserve WWII veteran's interviews presently on cassette. However, on one cassette the voices sound like chipmunks (speed too fast during recording). I know how to transfer the cassette recording onto garageband. I just don't know how to transfer the recording at a slower speed, so that the voices will sound normal. Is there a way? Please help. Thanks.

You could try two things (sorry, I can only point you to the current settings in GB'11, since I no longer have GB '09) but it should be very similar.
The easiest thing would be, if the vocal transformers do work. You can change the pitch of a voice using a "Vocal Transformer" effect. Click the "Edit" tab in the "Info" panel and click an empty brick to add a filter:
If that does not work, try to change the timing of the track. Enable "Follow Tempo&Pitch". If GB '09 does not have "follow tempo & pitch", record your tape directly into a Real Instrument track in GB to record a purple region.
Use the tempo slider in the LED display to lower the tempo, till the recording does sound more natural.
Good Luck,
Léonie

Since the iOS 7 update, some apps no longer have sound, even of configured to do so. Example, no longer does my FaceTime ring even if I have a tone set; my email app doesn't make a sound when email comes in or goes out. Help!

Ever since I updated to ios7, sounds from specific apps has disappeared, even if configured correctly to make sounds. My mail doesn't sound off anymore when mail comes in or goes out. My FaceTime no longer rings when someone calls me. My map app no longer gives me voice instructions like it did before. If someone messages me I do not hear sounds anymore. I find it very annoying especially because I have family abroad and FaceTime is an important means of communication. I reset it by pressing the sleep and home button and all, nothing happened.
Can someone help understand how to resolve this problem.
Thank you so very much.

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Make sure sound is not muted in Control Center; tap on the little bell. Swipe upwards from bottom of screen to launch Control Center

I just updated my iPhone 5 and Siri sounds more like a robot and I don't know what's wrong. My iPad Siri and my moms iPhone Siri sound like real people. Why doesn't my phone Siri sound like it should???

Siri sounds more robotic on my iphone for the iOS 7 update..... Help????

Hello smartbud,
The following article provides steps for changing the way Siri sounds.
Can I change how Siri sounds?
New female and male voices will be available initially in U.S. English, French, and German. You can change the gender by going to Settings > General > Siri > Voice Gender. Your iOS device initially uses a compact voice for Siri. iOS will automatically download and install a more natural-sounding voice when you first connect to power and a Wi-Fi network.

How to make camera sound totally silent?

I have Nokia E5 smartphone. I want to make camera sound totally off. I've download a patch file but it shows me certificate error. Is there any way to make camera totally off?

@ic3_fir3_
You're on the right track. Phone hacking isn't an acceptable topic in these official forums, but do some more web research or ask on unofficial Symbian site. I suspect you can still make it work, but sadly the process is harder than it used to be.
