Isolating voice effects/enhancement to tracks

Hey all,
I'm having trouble isolating voice effects such as autotune to the voice only during a playback or recording. Autotune seems to tamper with the piano sounds and other instruments. I want to effects to influence the voice only and leave the piano sounds alone. How do I do this?

if you use an effect on a single track, not the Master track, it will affect only that track.
you'll need to explain in detail what you're doing/your setup if this appears to not be the case

We are recording 2 voices over an instrumental track. Every time there is a rest in the vocal part the volume of the instrumental track noticeable increases. Is this fixable? We are using Alesis multi mix 8 with 2 microphones.

How to add voice effects to a video

how can i add voice effects to a video!

You need to supply much more information.
For example: Which video app are you using?
In which format is the video?
I presume you want to add the effects post production, so to speak, not live.

Including effects in multi track recording

Hi
was wondering if anyone could help me. I would like to know how (if possible) I could set a series of effects that are applied directly on a track by track basis during a multi track recording. I use a 16 channel USB interface and often record my band using +/- 10 tracks simultaneously. I now record the tracks via mics or DI outputs from amplifiers and then apply compression etc on a track by track basis after the initial data capture. I would like to be able to (for example), set a preset effect such as compressor and capture the audio with that effect applied in real time, just as I would if the signal went through a hardware compressor.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Tony

so what is the purpose of the MIXER tab in multi track view where one can apply effects on a track by track basis? I am imagining that AA3 would behave similar to a hardware console where the inputs can be managed effects wise by the effects available on the board.
Are the effects in the MIXER tab for playback only? I am confused. For example, if I set certain effects to channel X in the mixer tab, what does that do for me?
The effects are present for monitoring purposes, but because they've been passed through the entire system, they inevitably gain a degree of latency that makes them rather ineffective for direct monitoring purposes by a performer. In theory, you can apply reverb into a vocal performance and send it back to the vocalist, but if you do, you have to make sure that the direct signal doesn't go as well because the delay will be totally offputting. Invariably, if you want effects to listen to whilst recording, then external hardware does a better job, I'm afraid - and that's invariably a computer limitation.
So, if you add an effect in the mixer during recording, it will only be for monitoring purposes - the track will be recorded dry, as Bob says. And yes, that's always been industry practice - you always have a clean recording to return to if you screw up the effects, and that's invariably cheaper than a new session to re-record. You have to be careful though - when you replay your track it will still sound as though the effects are applied unless you remember to remove them from the mixer channel first. So the effect acts on the channel all the time, but never on the recording.
Yes, there is a way of cheating if you have a multi-I/O card. You feed the monitor output to a spare output pair, and re-record it on a spare input pair. This way you get a dry recording, and an effected one. It's rarely worth it, though.

What's your setup? Normally you hear all tracks (that are not muted) in your headphones while you record a new one.

Where have the voice effects gone on my Audigy sound ca

Hi
I have a Sound Blaster Audigy with the latest drivers.
In the EAX Console i find the sound effects, but only the environmental ones, not the voice effects (Chipmunk, Alien, Zeus etc..).
I have another 2 Creative cards which i bought earlier which had those effects: Li've 4. and an Audigy 2 ZS.
The Audigy 2 ZS i have on another computer has the exact same Surrond Mixer, EAX Console and the other sound card settings, but in that one i can find the voice effects under the EAX Console.
Does this mean my sound card doesn't support these? It doesn't make any sense.
Or do i need to use another driver?
Also the environmental effects list is a lot shorter than in the other 2 cards.
Thanks in advanceMessage Edited by Liran on 05-08-2006 05:04 AM

Hi Thanks for the reply - the rendering option is greyed out...I've just updated graphics drivers and this has made no difference. I've read that the Mercury engine won't support some GPUs and they have to be enabled manually, but have no idea if this is what is happening here...all I do know is that 2 weeks ago I was using the feather effect and now I'm not able to and all the accelerated affects are now greyed out.
I'm using windows 7, 64 bit - same result on premiere pro CC and CS6...

How can I record EAX voice effect

Hi,
I have a SB 5. board in my machine and in EAX Control Panel I've beeing joking a lot with some voice effects like Zeus or Chipmunk.
But when I try to record my Microphone sound using any kind of program, those effects are not recorded, only my normal voice. For voice chats, the result is the same: I can hear my voice modified but other people don't.
So, how should I proceed to record those effects and/or make then 'hearable' for other people thru voiced chats like MSN or SKYPE ?
Thank you,
Kurt

See User's Manual page 3-3.
If you do not have a manual you find it here from
If your card is Bulk then you find the manual from here.
If you do not have the Creative Surround Mixer -software then install it first
(bundled with your card (CD)).
The rec level is the red (left most) slider and the source selector is above the
slider. Select there "What U hear".

How do I apply special effects to a track when I keep getting error message that "Could not find layout Default Reverb GB"?

How do I apply special effects to a track in GarageBand when I keep getting error message that says"Could not find layout Default Reverb GB"?

I go to Applications to see if
GarageBand has changed and dthere is no change, still 1.42GB of file size ‹
no evidence of the 10+ GB that the installer told me I was downloading, no
evidence in my download folder that I downloded anything, and most
important, when I click on ³Effects² I¹m back to the same error message.
I¹ve been at this now for about 3 hours.
Downloading the extra content will take a very long time.
When the download has finished, the prompt for the password will appear and the installer will continue to run in the background.
Let t run. As long as GarageBand is still installing, it will give a warning, when you try to quit.
When you can quit GarageBand without a warning, restart your Mac.
The size of the GarageBand application will not change, but you should be seeing more loops. They are installed in the System Library, and the folder "Library" on your Macintosh HD should by now be 10GB larger.

Quacking sound with voice effects

I'm using GarageBand as an 'open mic' processor to add vocal effects live (using Soundflower to carry the output to other apps). Whatever effects I use, there is an echo on the monitored sound, which sounds distinctly like a 'quack'. Altering the recording level does not make it disappear, just makes it louder or quieter along with the vocal.
This is not feedback. I am using the internal mic, but monitoring through earphones. The noise is in GarageBand as changing the output from Soundflower to the built-in speakers makes no difference either.
What's causing this distortion? Could it be the mic itself? (Unlikely - removing voice effects stops the noise).

sounds distinctly like a 'quack'.
Aflac?

Removing Effects from a track

How do I remove an effect from the insert on a track? The help menu says to click on the insert and select "no effect" but when I click, it doesn't give me that option. Is there another way to remove an effect from a track?

Thank you. That was so simple that I feel silly now

Why does my voice effect change the way my music sounds too?

I have an instrumental track that I was recording my voice over and I put my vocals in the Mouse Effect. When I played it back my music was in the mouse effect too. How can I just have my voice in Mouse effect and my music with no effect when I record? It says no effect on the music track, but it still sounds like a mouse.

No. I notice that it only happens when I split the track. I wanted the music to start at a certain point so I split it so it would start in the middle.

Mono voice over has 1 track only is this the proper way to do it?

My dialogue has 2 tracks (A1/A2), has well has my music (A3/A/4). My voice over, that was recorded in Mono is on just one track (A5), is this fine or should I have 2 tracks also for this voice over?
Thank you.

That's not really a great way to handle mono audio, in my opinion. When you double audio tracks, you're literally doubling the audio; all your levels will be jacked up, because you're superimposing sound. What Shane said is what I understand to be the correct way — as far as there's ever a correct way to do anything — to handle mono audio. You pan your left and right stereo tracks to the left and the right, but you keep your mono tracks panned center (or automate the pan for things like foley effects on moving shots, stuff like that).
Among other things, this makes doing your final mix a lot easier, since you've got only the number of tracks you actually need. Every track you add creates more work when you finish your sound.
