Voice in other room sound effect

Could anyone recommend a filter and settings to achieve a nice "voice yelling from another room" sound effect?

The prevailing wisdom in the seventies was to load up the first reel and the last reel and have effects complexity diminish toward the middle of the picture-- not leave anything out, but just don't go all out. This was mostly a budget constraint. Producers always seemed to be out of money by the time a picture got to the audio edit and mix.
I love foley effects-- some of the most fun I ever had-- but they have their place and they can also be overdone to the point of absurdity. There's a very interesting picture called Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970) that has not one note of music in it-- it's all roomtones and foleys-- effect work by one of my mentors. There's a clip out there on youtube with a VERY young Frank Langella. The silences, the intimate sounds of paper rustling, clocks, etc, did a very good job of showing the isolation and depression of the main character.
But perhaps I'm rambling. Wouldn't be the first time!

  • How to install the olds special effects of voices EAX in the Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty Platin

    Dear forum Members:?
    Today I acquired the new Sound Blaster X-Fi Fataty Champion Series Platinum, but I have taken myself the surprise that the sound effects EAX - that in?the old card included voice effects like? ZEUS, Man -> Woman, Woman -> Man, Squirrel, etc., - they are no longer in the options of?EAX, and the sound environments only come.
    For my it is very important that EAX has those?special sound effects that he had the old one?version of Audigy, since with them we took place?voices distorted in a radial program that?we transmit every Friday for Internet, since 6 years old.
    Without those effects, a complete block of the program - the humor block-, it won't be been able to make,?and this will be a great loss for our?transmission and our auditors.
    For it, I request them earnestly that me?indicate how to be able to install the old effects?special of EAX, particularly the Voices?
    distorted, since it is fundamental for?our work, and without them the purchase of this?new card will provoke us a bigger problem in?time of solving it.
    I request everyone them to assist?this request?to the brevity?possible, since really we need the effects?special EAX to work in our radio.
    ?Thanks

    Bredbandsbandit,
    The headsets for it will need to use /8'' minijack connecters (or up to /4'' if you get the Platinum/Fatalty/Elite Pro versions). USB headsets use their own software codec, basically making them software based sound devices which would bypass all of the advantages of the X-Fi.
    A really great headset choice for this would be the Creative ProGamer Headset NC22 however if you are looking for headphones I have used the Creative HN-505 Noise Cancelling Headphones with the X-Fi (I hope to have some impressions up in a few days) and they work absolutely amazingly. Basically you would do best with closed ear headphones with a good quality microphone.

  • My macbook air doesnt play voice audio tracks in movies. I can hear sound effects and music. In VLC and Itunes.

    I opened up multiple video players and multiple movie files. MP4 and MKV. They work fine on my macbook pro but on my air I can only hear the music and sound effects, the voice track doesnt sound. The movie files are one file only no dts or surround option. Im pretty stumped.

    Hi, Julian,
    I can't even find the instructions for it in the GB Help File
    That's because it's an undocumented feature.
    Here's a link that describes it:

    You can always import GB files directly into LE.

  • Customising mac voice and sound effects

    Is there a way to change and add new sounds/voices to system preferences? Im a Fan of Doctor Who and would like to user theire free sounds on my mac as systems sound effects.
    Thank you for your time.

    If you go to ~(username)->Library->Sounds you can add your audio files there. They need to be in .aiff if they're not already.

  • 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.

  • (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
    "You may need to find some way to compensate them for their time though"
    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?

  • TS3789 When I play movies on my apple tv I can hear music, sound effects - but zero dialog or voice overs?  What gives?

    When I play movies on my apple tv I can hear music, sound effects but no dialog from characters - no voices

    Push and hold the select button on the remote while the content is playing.  You should get an audio options menu.  Guessing you selected one of the the secondary audio track options by mistake somewhere.

    Does Final Cut Pro X (10.0.4) have Motion included in initial download... as well as 'royalty free sound effects... what else is included?
    Where can I view / find this information?

    No - Motion is now sold separately (~$50 + tax on the app store.) Yes, royalty free sound effects are part of the deal.
    After you install FCPX, from the FCPX menu, select Download Additional Content to complete the install.

  • I am running 10.8 and setup airport extreme to run music from my imac to my receiver in the other room. When I open sound from system preferences, I don't see an external device to choose, other then internal speakers. Any ideas?

    Airport Express (the small Airport device, which is the only one with an audio connection) works through Airtunes, which only works with iTunes. The computer won't send ALL system sound to the Airport. If you actually want to send sound outside of iTunes, use Airfoil.

  • Why do I lose the sound effects for mail on my MBA and not the other Macs I have? Running ML.

    Why do I lose the sound effects in Mail for sending and receiving on my MBA and not on my other Macs? Running Mountain Lion. The problerm seems to be related to the sleep mode. When the MBA sleeps and then wakes up the sounds are missing. If I shut down and restart the machine the sounds will be back but only last until the maching goes through a sleep cycle.

    Primarily because, as ron245 points out, there is only ONE speaker on the bottom.

    I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
    I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
    Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.
