Subject:Robot Posted by: Duman Date:9/1/1999 6:57:00 PM Hi, i was wondering if there were any effects i could use to make my voice sound like a robot through Sound Forge? I tried amplitude modulation but it isn't quite what i want. If that is what effect i should use to make the desited sound, what settings should i use? Thanks a lot -Duman

I don't know exactly what you are looking for, but I have had good results this way: If you have the noise reduction plug-in, record your voice--a monotone works well--and run it through the noise reduction process using extreme noise reduction settings. The effect of many filter bands being adjusted lends a good, phasey, electronic sound typical of some speech synthesis algorithms. Other options without the plug-in would be to build a bandpass filter in the process/eq/parametric. The bandpass should be narrow (300Hz to 3KHz or worse) and the filter skirts should be as steep as possible--but go too steep and the filter will be un-buildable. It will simultaneously filter and create bad filter artifacts. Add some chorusing to further thicken the sound any make it more processed sounding. Come to think of it, try a file with the chorus process first, then the filter. One more. Try delays of a few milliseconds--single, multitap, and recirculating each impart a different flavor.

Hi, i was wondering if there were any effects i could use
to make my voice sound like a robot through Sound Forge? I
tried amplitude modulation but it isn't quite what i want.
If that is what effect i should use to make the desited
sound, what settings should i use?

Thanks a lot
