Making a voiceover sound old

Does anyone know of an easy way to apply an effect to a voiceover to make it sound old? It's an effect I need for a movie sequence. I want the speech to sound as if it had been recorded in the 1930s, with plenty of crackle and a tinny quality to the voice. Nothing in the GarageBand filter collection seems to suit.
I would appreciate any help.

aside from pulling down the low and high end with any of GB's EQs, you might take a look at Vinyl. you can find a link to it here:

    Seagate FreeAgent Go is making a clicking sound and the light is rapidly blinking. My Macbook is no longer recognizing it. Is there any way to pull all the songs I have saved on it? The SeaAgent is less than a month old!
    Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
    Or at least recover the lost data?
    Thanks!

    How to fix: the drive is in warranty, so contact Seagate for a replacement.
    How to recover your data: Do you have backups? (If not, you really, really, should.)
    You can try downloading Data Rescue, which will run in trial mode and let you know if the data is recoverable. (You can then choose to purchase the full version if it works for you.) A clicking drive, though, is usually (though not always) a sign that the drive cannot be recovered.

  • Hard Drive is not spinning up making rhythmic click sounds

    Hello,
    My Hard Drive is not spinning up and making rhythmic click sounds. I charged it completely. Tried to reset it but this results only in the Folder-Icon with a support link. It can not be connected to my computer anymore via USB. It is not recognized as a external disk anymore. I tried the disk mode too. nothing helps.
    As I can't connect it to my computer anymore I can't reformat it.
    Any ideas besides throwing it away...?
    Thanks, Juergen

    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level

    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

    I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

  • New MBP making occasional crackling sounds

    Hi, my new 13" MBP which is less than a month old seems to be making some crackling sounds from time to time. Since there is no hard disk with moving parts (it has a solid state disk), the only thing I could think of that would explain why it makes this sound is if there is some type of electrical problem. I haven't had any kernel panics yet (or noticed other usability issues), but I am wondering whether there is an underlying electrical problem that should be dealt with before it results in an expensive repair like a new logic board. The battery doesn't seem to be an issue as it charges completely and usually gives a good runtime. The only exception to a good runtime is when I am compiling code. About fifteen minutes of time spent compiling code exhausts about an hour of normal runtime doing other things. Does anyone know if the crackling sound is typical or if I should be concerned about it? I have read some other forums and seen mixed views on this issue.

    lol .. no when the machine is in sleep the sms is also in sleep BUT I will discourage you to put the computer to sleep in an enclosure .. a friend of mine's melted that way .. maybe it wasn't a sleep when he put it in or maybe it woke up for a bizarre reason . a working machine without proper ventilation can become deadly .. so if I were you I would use the machine in sleep mode only for short time naps and as for going around in a bag I'd prefer shutting it down.. it also saves much more energy on the battery that way

  • My macbook pro is making a weird sound, please help?

    Hello,
    i have an early 2011 model, it was running soo fine until now.
    its making a weird sound, to describe, it sounds like a small *trrr* at normal state, and at high, intense states, (playing games..) it turns into a loud *trrrrrr*, but, if i hit it gently over the keyboard, it goes away, then comes back.
    please, i dont have an apple retail store in my country, i need help from here, help me.

    first thing to do is to buy a new hard drive and an external drive before it fails so you won't lose your files.
    once you've done that, put the new hard drive in the external drive and open disk utility.
    format/erase your new hard drive as MAC OS EXTENDED Journaled.
    After that has been done, open carbon copy (if you don't have it, you can download it for free).
    Once carbon copy is open, click on clone your hard drive.  Source drive is what you're using now and your target drive is your new hard drive.
    Once carbon copy is done, turn off your macbook, open the back of your macbook, take off the hard drive and install your new hard drive.
    After you've done all those, turn your macbook back on and you're back in business.

    did have this before RMA, when it was working
    I remember this sound from back in the nvidia 7xxx/8xxx series, remember reading somewhere it was normal for cap to make this kind of sound?
    not sure....

    That sound can happen on video cards and is usually generated by some coil on the card when the card si heavy loaded .I have it on my 4850 and in 3D Mark 03 on my 5770.Never had it on my previous Nvidia cards though.You can have that with your PSU too.If your card is performing ok don t worry about it.Try and use V-Sync ON in driver control panel ,it may fix the anoying sound ,at least in some games.

  • MBP started making a cracking sound

    My MacBook Pro 2010 started making a "crack" sound every 10 seconds or so... Like when you connect an audio device, it stops when the volume is off or when the speakers are being used.
    In my opinion something is failing on the motherboard, such as a solded connection which is weared out or something...
    If anyone has had this problem, please leave a comment ^^ Ill take my Mac to the Apple Store next Monday.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Please check if the External works fine ? if no this is not really a speaker issue. if yes, it could be faulty speaker or the loose cable etc...

  • My mac book pro is on, but the power light indicator is not on, the battery charging light is not on, and the computer is making a whirring sound, what is wrong

    My mac book pro is working, but my power light is off, the battery power light is not on and my battery power symbol is a black x. My computer is making a whirring sound sort of like it does when  loading a CD. I had a hard time getting the computer to turn on, used the command, option, P and R buttons to turn in on. I have tried restart, but I still get the whirring sound. What is wrong and what do I do?

    Didn't do an SMC reset. But in attempting to find out about what that was I found some things to try first. Also, when I went to system preferences - hardware, I couldn't find anything regarding power and battery info. Finally, I unplugged the computer for several seconds, then shut it down, removed the battery, put the battery back in. Then I turned on the computer, plugged in the power cord. Problem solved- no whirring sound, battery charging light is on.
    Thanks for getting me in the right direction.

  • Why is my ipod making a clicking sound?

    All-of-a-sudden my ipod stopped working. It will not charge or reset. When I plug it into the wall or computer it starts
    making this clicking sound. It has shown the sadpod icon and the ! with a file. As well it shows the icon for when the battery is completly discharged. I tried charging it for hours, but it just keeps on ticking. I've not found help on the support site that has worked. I've tried hitting it, but that hasn't worked either. What should i do? It was purchased oct. 05.

    If you have tried the support help and nothing has worked, then you should take advantage of your warranty and send it for service.
    Service request.
    However, if you tried "hitting it" who knows what extra damage you caused? The iPod is a fragile device, and using force on an iPod that's still under warranty is, in my humble opinion, not very clever.
    Because of this, Apple may refuse to repair it.

  • My MacBook late 2008 10.7.5 making a beeping sound at startup

    My Mac Book late 2008 10.7.5 is making a beeping sound at startup before the Apple chime.

    Hello,
    If you haven't done anything to the MacBook liek add extra memory then try the following
    Resetting PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Else try resetting SMC : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    It could be a memory problem, so try removing one memory each at a time to see if that stops the bleeping.
    If that does resolve the bleeping, then your MacBook may need replacement memory modules.
    Best of luck

  • FaceTime making strange clicking sound

    FaceTime making strange clicking sound
    When FaceTime calls from my MacBook through my iPhone 5 work its a great feature. When it fails, extremely frustrating. I often experience a loud clicking sound when trying to place calls. I can be heard by the person I am calling but I can't hear them, only the clicking. Restarting worked for months to eliminate clickling which seemed to happen after using the headphone port now nothing seems to work predictably, even lost all sound from attempted calls today even after restarting although everything worked fine yesterday. Running MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) with OS 10.10.2 and an iPhone 5 with 8.1.3. Would love to see a permanent fix that includes the ability to see voicemail messages on my Mac.
