Radio sound effects

Can anyone give me a quick link on sound effects for making voices sound like they are coming out of a radio. I'm doing some VO and using a Blue Snowball external mic and I can get the right sound. I'm fiddling around with the 3 Band Equalizer audio filter, but it just aint right.
Suggestions anyone?
Thanks so much,
D

Scroll almost to the bottom. The section you want actually deals with making a "telephone voice" effect, but once you get the idea, it should be possible to tweak the sound to your liking.

  • Why does my new garageband 10.0.03 not have the legacy with sound effects or radio sound preset or applause preset???? I need these to be able to chop samples into the keyboard keys by dragging and dropping them into the keys.

    I am just trying to chop samples and drop them into a track with legacy-sound effects- radio sounds, so that I can play with them and chop them onto keys. I see a bunch of videos on youtube showing you how to do it, but I can't find those kits on the newest garageband.

    All these effects are part of the loops in the iLife Sound effects loop package, that was a part of the application bundle iLIfe '11 (iPhoto. iMovie, GarageBand '11).  These loops are neither installed by GarageBand 10.0 or GarageBand '11, nor MacOs X, you need an iLife '11 installer disk to get these loops.
    And GarageBand 10 also does not have the Sound Effects instruments any longer, that let you drag samples onto keys. It is one of the sorely missed features, that have been discontinued in the new version GarageBand 10. even if you install the previous version, GarageBAnd '11, to add the Sound effects instrument to GarageBand 10. it will not work properly, because GarageBand 10 will not save the custom instrument with the samples. You will have to complete your song in one session, without quitting GarageBand.
    You may want to send feedback to the Apple Developers about these missing features with a feature request:   Apple - GarageBand Mac- Feedback

  • Sound Effects on the Fly

    Hi...just starting to podcast and I've looked up how to do this but I just can't seem to get the sounds assigned to the musical keyboard or onscreen keyboard.
    Does anyone have a great "how to" or example how I can assign sound effects to certain keyboard keys on my Mac to use them during my broadcast "on the fly"
    Thanks!

    For clarification...
    I am attempting to add a laugh track or other sound effect from the GB3 loop pane...to use on the fly as I record...to give my podcast a more professional radio feel.
    I follow these directions but can't get it to work:
    To add a new sound to the Sound Effects instrument:
    Select the track using the Sound Effects Software Instrument.
    Choose Window > Musical Typing to open the Musical Typing window.
    Drag the region or loop from the timeline or loop browser to the Musical Typing window, and release it over the key you want to use the sound.
    If you transpose a region before dragging it to the Musical Typing keyboard, it keeps the transposition in the Sound Effects instrument. It will also play faster (if transposed up) or slower (if transposed down), similar to transposing a sound in a sampler.
    When it says to "drag the region or loop from the timeline...does that mean I add it as a track and then move it? Can't figure this out...
    Thanks!

  • Volume change sound effect won't stop

    So I changed my preferences and unticked the "Play feedback when volume is changed" option. Basically all is good for a while then a week or two later I'll realise the sound effect is back when I change the volume. But the option remains unticked in preferences.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Simple, the device even if off can pick up signal noise from any other device or items. Stereo speakers have in the past gave off a whirl sound from radio stations, police and cb radios, high frequency pick up is not unheard of. There are cases where radio receivers have picked up cross talk while off.
    With computers broadcasting on the 2.4 and 5.0 frequency many times microvave ovens, other electrical items can cause the sound the original poster complains about. (Chirping) Cell phones are just radio transmitting and receiving devices.
    You don't need a 500 foot antenna to pick up sounds. Even if the phone is off it has an internal antenna.
    interference is quite possible, and frankly there are not many people posting about radio chirping to believe its nothing but interference .

  • Logic sound effects copyright question

    Hi
    I want to use some sound effects (wind and thunder) on one of my songs and I want to check on the copyright/marketing status of Logic's sound effects. I know that these are described as "royalty free", but does that mean that I can used them on
    song that I'm putting on the open market(via Tunecore)without any required acknowledegent of their source or any other legal requirements?

    They are royalty free - there are already a load of Apple Loops being used commercially - Rhianna's Umbrella uses Vintage Funk Kit 03 with some heavy EQ as does The Script's The Man Who Can't Be Moved (only they've played it live) various midi keyboard parts have been used with a lot of big acts - so go for it bud!

  • Open and close window sound effects?

    hello, i was wondering if there is a way to have a sound effect play whenever a window opened or closed or i open a file. anything like that? does anybody know where to go to do that stuff? thank you.

    Never used it myself, but there is a hack that adds system event sounds.
    http://www.unsanity.com/haxies/xounds
    I'm sure there will probably be issues with it when Snow Leopard comes out, so you may want to wait a few weeks after its release so the developer can address any incompatibilities.
    Mac OS 9 had system sounds, but I personally think Mac OS X is better off without all the noise. About the only ones Apple kept are the general system alert sound (which is useful) and the empty Trash sound.

  • Can i use purchased sound effects off iTunes in an iOS app? - copyright issue

    basically I'm making an iOS app, and i need a sound effect that i purchased off the iTunes store, aka from some company. Can i use this sound effect in my app without being sued a lot of money? If i payed for the file i should be okay correct?

    Hello Aidan,
    Here is the statement from the Terms and Conditions of the iTunes Store:
    "You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use."
    We do not give legal advice on this Forum, but I think the statement is pretty clear.

  • Is there anyway to have an application use the output for Alerts/Sound Effects?

    I am trying to set some applications to use the output designated for the System Alerts and Sound Effects, while other applications continue to use the regular Output?  I am using the Audio MIDI Utility with Aggregate/Multiple Outputs.

    An action can specify the resources that it needs, which will trigger alerts if they are not there.  Assuming that the system resources are there, you can include actions in an application bundle - see the Installing Actions section of the Automator Programming Guide.

  • I am using logic to record a podcast and using soundboard to use as a playback for music and sound effects.  I'd like to soft patch sound board into logic, and still use my interface for recording audio from the other members of the podcast.

    I am using logic to record a podcast.  I have a presonus firestudio mobile for my interface so I can record several people at the same time.  I'm also using Soundboard for a playback system for music and sound effects.  I'd like to know how to soft patch Soundboard into Logic while still using the Firestudio interface to record the other members of the podcast.  Does anyone know how to do this? and if so can you tell me how to do it?  Thanks.

    Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.

  • In Garage Band on iPAD, is there a way to make each key on the keyboard play a different sound effect?

    I'd like to be able to play a number of selected sound effects using the keyboard in Garage Band. I've figured out how to import audio tracks from my itunes library into a track in Tracks View.
    Thanks if anyone has experience with this......

    GarageBand on iPad does not have the SoundEffects instruments, that GarageBand on Mac has.
    The closest you can get to this on your iPad will be the "Sampler" instrument. You can record a sound sample and play it using the "Sampler" instrument and adjust the pitch.
    But you cannot assigne different samples to different keys.
    See:  Play sounds with the Sampler

  • (My post isn't showing up?) Sound effect muffles/is louder than the other audio layers

    I want to point out that the last time I posted this, the discussion was completely blank. This is a repost and hopefully it won't be blank this time
    In my most recent short movie, I decided that I would focus a lot more on sound than I normally do, so bought a microphone, a recorder and a boom pole etc. I also decided to implement more sound effects (Bear in mind that I'm 16, not a professional).
    Here's the video -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGkrFVZ0e5I (I think embedding the video was causing problems with posting)
    Note that at about 0:10 seconds in, you can hear an alarm ringing, but also a sort of 'thump' sound (It's actually the sound of a vault opening/closing). You couldn't hear it normally, so I turned the bass up on it to 17dB. When playing it back in the timeline, it sounds perfectly fine, but when I export the video, much like the attached one, it's muffled and you can't hear the alarm or anything else.
    Unfortunately I didn't have time to try and fix it, also that scene takes a while to export so I couldn't quite do any trial and error.
    Now however, I'm going to enter the video into a small competition, so I thought I'd try and fix it...because it does sound terrible/unprofessional.
    Any suggestions? Remember, it sounds perfect (In my opinion) when playing it back in the timeline. I'm using Premiere Pro CS5.5 on an 11,2 (October 2010) iMac running Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it's also being exported to a G-Drive FireWire 800 hard drive, not a RAID, perhaps that could be a problem?

    "One thing which is realistically within your reach at this time and could really help you on future projects is if you can come up with some sort of beginning, middle and end"
    That's one of the problems, people kept saying "Oh, this line's too long..." and shortnening it, and like Jim said "If you can't fire people, you're at their mercy" so I can't exactly deduct pay or anything...because they're not being paid
    They even started saying "Woah! We've completely changed the script! hahaha!". Just shows how little they actually cared. And the script really was changed, I would send you the script but I don't want to veer too far from the topic

    I was going to bring a box of Coca Cola, but I thought it would be a bit hard to carry around...and I was kind of glad I didn't because I don't feel they quite deserved it and they were already a bit hyper. Maybe it would have gone better if I did bring the Coke, but I'll definitely order some pizza next time.
    "Just software."
    Great software that is! I don't know where I'd be without the student discount.
    Anyway let's get back to the question.
    I glanced at this a bit - http://www.uaudio.com/blog/understanding-audio-phase/
    And tried using the original MP3. It still didn't sound good.
    I then tried exporting the sound on its own, with the bass, then imported it, but it still didn't sound as good.
    I asked my friend (Who happens to also have the surname 'Curtis') and he said "just sounds to me like you have it so loud that it's clipping" and suggested that I "multitrack" it, basically layer several of them on top of each other, but that didn't work either.
    He decided to add the bass in and fix the 'clipping'. It sounded good, but once imported, you could barely hear it, so I thought I'd try putting the bass up to 17dB like before...had the same problem. It seems to only sound nice/fitting with the 17dB bass...am I just going to have to turn it down and live with it?

  • I updated my iPad to iOS7 and since then my iPad2 does not have sound (says no SOUND EFFECT). I already got it checked by Genius Bar who say that it is not a software problem.

    Have done all suggested things including toggle and change in settings. Still it keeps showing a bell (which shows sound effects) but does not enable change of sound / sound in apps.
    On Saturday, 3rd may2014 I got an appointment with Genius Bar at WEST 14th street NYC which initially said that this looks like settings issue. So they reset my iPad settings.
    When this did not work, they also reloaded the iOS. Even that did not solve the problem. They conveyed that this is a hardware problem and thus they can solve this (except for replacement for which they will charge $250 for an iPad 2.)
    However the ringer sound is coming perfect ( the sound is not available in any of the apps but the same speaker works for ringer).
    HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE A HARDWARE PROBLEM THEN? ALSO WHY CAN APPLE NOT CHANGE THE SPEAKERS?
    When I conveyed that this is APPLE specific issue, they flatly denied and conveyed that there are NO such cases. When I offered to show it on Aple community, they say THIS HAPPENS TO ONLY A SMALL MINORITY AND IS NOT CONSIDERED A "KNOWN ISSUE".
    I HAD GONE AT THE SAME TIME FOR CHANGING MY IPHONE's speaker (for that too, they said that they can only replace my phone with a hefty payment rather than changing the speakers).
    THIS AMPLY SHOWED THAT THEY HAD NO INTENTION OF SERVICING THE INSTRUMENTS AND THEY WERE ONLY THINKING OF HOW TO INCREASE SALES BY DRAWING ON THE OLD INVENTORY.
    SHOWS RIDICULOUS ATTITUDE OF APPLE.

  • Sound effects no longer play in Rosetta emulation games

    While sorting out the data transferred from my recently deceased Powerbook G4 17", I accidently started up Audacity 1.2.3 which is a Power PC only version. It only partially loaded with its icon in the Dock but nothing else. I had to force quit the program to get rid of it and then deleted it. When my teenage son went to play his suite of PPC games such as Age of Empires 2 and StarWars after that, the game sound effects no longer worked. The background music still plays, but all the player responsive sound effects will not play, even though the settings to play them are correct.
    I am wondering if the opening up and crashing of the Power PC Audacity may have stuffed up something in the Rosetta emulation system software relating to the sound output of emulated games. Before I consider doing a full backup and reinstall, does anyone who is a regular gamer playing PPC games on a Macbook Pro have any ideas on how to fix this problem. I was wondering if the Rosetta component of OSX can be replaced from a working system or if it is totally integrated into the Mac OS unlike Classic was.
    All advice appreciated!

    +I tried to set "Problem solved" but got an error so will try again later.+
    Thanks for trying and glad it fixed the problem

  • ITunes 8 and Windows Vista "sound effect"

    So ever since iTunes 8 came out, I get that stupid annoying sound effect whenever doing anything in iTunes. I can turn off the sidebar and it will stop for the most part, but I still get it when going to the iTunes Store or going to my iPod list. I was hoping 8.0.1 would fix it, but it did not. I have searched the forums and I have disabled the TableInputService and that didn't help at all. Has anyone else found a different solution?

    I have a similar problem, with my new iPod Touch crashing an XP Professional setup. It's worth noting that the Apple article also talks about potential USB conflicts with other devices on the system that might have bad drivers. They say the solution, if that is the fault, is to make sure all your USB drivers are good. I'll try that, by a process of elimination, before re-installing iTunes (as I thought I had the latest version and I don't have Vista). I'll come back here later to report the outcome.
    (serious if your iPod crashed your PC - can't even charge its battery ! )
