My voice sounds like helium

Hi, everyone. To compensate for my Mac microphone troubles, I hooked up my mic to a wheezing Linux laptop and recorded a WAV of my voice. I imported it to Garage Band, but when I played the track my voice sounded as if I had just inhaled a large quantity of helium. Evidently, while trying to get my microphone to work a few nights ago, I modified some setting which caused this, without knowing I'd done it.
Any ideas as to how I might be able to fix this?

I don't have an answer for your question but I just had to tell you the title made me laugh for an hour. Usually it's me saying my voice sounds like something other than helium! I want you to know, you made my day. Music is awesome!

Hi,
I have the same issue on my HP Win8 desktop.My voice is disguised as chipmunk to the other party. I can hear everybody fine. I followed the exact instruction and tried search for the folder named "Skype" through writing %appdata% in the Search /Run box as I've read in the previous post, but it did not find a such folder. I don't have a problem using Skype on my laptop supported by Win 7. Anybody out there knows how to fix this? I reinstalled Skype and still the same.
What is the version of Skype program installed on your computer? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.

Voice sounds like chipmunks when I use my headphones, how can I fix that?

I have a MacBook Air and a Cinema display. Sound is fine but When I use my headphones for chat (YM), our voices sound like chipmunks. How can I fix this? I appreciate any help.

SB Audigy2 ZS PCI+Logitech Headset= Voice sounds like its under water

I tried using my Logitech Headset this evening on my desktop to communicate with my buds over mumble while playing BF3 and no matter how many settings I messed around with in both Win7 x64 or the mumble software my voice was crackled and distorted. Now I know for a fact my headset is not the problem, since I use it daily on my laptop at work to talk to people over Skype & GoToMeeting and I'm crystal clear and I even plugged it back into my lappy afterwards and listened to myself speak, and it was fine. The problem must be with the Sound Card. Is this something to do with the settings or is this a sign my card/drivers are bad?

Hi,
Disconnect your headset and just plug in a microphone and do a microphone recording. Playback what you have recorded, do you sound like you are underwater? That will narrow down if it's the sound card that's causing the problem. Also try running other games to see if same problem is happening.

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!

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 can I make my voice sound like Obama?

I am new to this software and I have a project in which I need to turn my voice into Obama's. Any help would be much appreciated...

Software can't do this for you. It may be able to help a little by adjusting certain frequencies and applying a little pitch adjustment. But you have to find the correct delivery and tone to perform the voice. That's how impressionist acts earn their money.

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,

How to sound like a chimpunk on imovie08

I realize that there is no way i can make my voice sound like a chimpunk on imovie 08
so i recently transferred my audio to garage band and did that successfully on that program
so how do i save it now as a video file in which i can post it on youtube.

what I would do is upload the sound file you have into your iTunes. After this you can go to your clip in iMovie and click on the music note on the right side. This will display your iTunes library, from there you can select the voice you have which sounds like a chipmunk and put the voice into the video by dragging it. You will need to mute the sound of the video so that only the audio of the edited voice is playing. After you have finished editing this to however you please you can put it in a file to upload to youtube by selecting this: Share>youtube. here you will need to input all of your information.
Hope that helped, and best of luck.

Imported AIFF voice file sounds like MInnie Mouse on Helium

Hi there,
I imported an aiff file originally recorded on a Olympus DM20 voice recorder into GB2. Now it's all speeded up--playing so fast that it sounds like MInnie Mouse on Helium. I also imported it into itunes where it sounds fine.
Can anyone assist me in getting the file to play at the proper speed?
thanks!

Hi, again
I followed the instruction. Now the speed is fine, but there is no visual representation of the file. All I see is a tiny wedge of yellow about a quarter centimeter wide, then nuthin. It's hard to edit with no visual.
Got a fix for this, too?
