How to make a military radio effect in Audacity

This is a quick video to show you how to apply a radio effect to your audio in audacity. This could be useful for things like games and movies.

@KZbin I need tutorials like this in my recommendations: tutorials that waste none of my time, that go straight to the point and are very clear. All jokes aside, this is what a tutorial should be. Well done, mate! For once there's someone on KZbin doing legit tutorials without wasting people's time - and that someone is you.

I've been trying to find this kind of filter to be much like the voice effect from red vs blue forever! Thank you!

So happy you found it useful! I hope you'll be able to make something cool! (:

[@BLACKM3SA]

Added the extra FX I needed, very happy you didn't just go into filter curve and apply the default walkie-talkie preset like 90% of the other audacity tutorials, lol

[@timmytimmy9771]

I'm glad I could help! Hope you'll make something cool with it (:

[@s.d.1091]

Sounds great! (My audacity didn't have filter curve or equalizer, I just had to click Effect -> Add Plugin -> and click "enable" on Filter Curve)

[@timmytimmy9771]

Thanks for this comment! I hearted it so others can see this solution if they experience the same thing :D

[@CollinsVenture]

way better than most tutorials i look for on this, thanks!

[@filikom3957]

Eyy bro thanks a-lot! I am making a War Thunder crew voice mod, and I don't know how to edit radio statics on the recorded audios. You're a hero!

[@timmytimmy9771]

No probs dude, I'm so glad you liked it! (:

[@Chaotic_Observer]

my favorite type of tutorials, so through and helpful. thank you!!

[@ToadKingStudios]

Thank you! They recently updated the effects and removed the old "equalizer" people were suggesting. Thanks.

[@Razgriz_01]

This really helped me out. Was trying to make some simple mods for CS:CZ and wanted to change the end round win sounds with personal customized ones. Thanks.

[@resolver2907]

Please level your volume in your videos. I was listening with my ear phones and my ears are numb after watching this. Your first part was recorded at such a low volume that I maxed my ear phones and the sample sound burst my ears.

[@immentallyinsane3324]

bro you already sound like on a radio lmao jokes aside thx

[@hansgruber6358]

nice tutorial my friend. Any idea how to add the radio break noise?

[@timmytimmy9771]

If you're talking about the chiptune (duduu) I would probably filter 2 tones on eachother and disort their attack/decay. Something like a 400hz start ending with a 800hz chip if you understand what I mean. This is just speculations though, so you'd need to play around with the values. I've got a lot of work ahead of me as of now, but I am thinking of making an update to this video in the future with some fun / cool additions to make it better. I'll reply to this comment again if/when I do that!

[@hansgruber6358]

@@timmytimmy9771 I'm definitely interested in a tutorial when you have time adding in the radio click/break. Is it authentic for ww2 radio traffic?

[@timmytimmy9771]

@@hansgruber6358 I wouldn't know about ww2 traffic, but at my previous job back in 2019 we used Rakel / Tetra (a swedish digital radio system designed for bluelight operations) and that one had no connection tones. There was just a chip from when the audio cut in and a chip when it cut out. The only tones we ever heard were: 1 beep: Mic ready 3 beeps: Radio disturbance / channel blocked (often related to sevral people trying to send at the same time) I have however used quite a few radio systems that uses connection beeps, and if I had to GUESS I'd think connection beeps was common back in the early 1900s (Don't quote me on that thlugh haha) (:

Is there any way to make this process into a macro?

[@timmytimmy9771]

I am 100% certain there is, however, I myself am not sure on how that would be done.

[@Skizzum]

is that a plugin? because I don't have filter curve

[@timmytimmy9771]

No, this is the original audacity. Make sure you are running the latest version. If you are NOT running the latest version, this is called "Equalizer" instead look for that. Also, if english is your second language and you're running Audacity in your main language... God help you..

[@alexmason420]

Can u make a video how to connect it to ps5?

[@timmytimmy9771]

Hey! Sadly that's not possible. Audacity is used to process pre recorded files and change them. You will need to look into a live feed filter for your microphone (:

[@MoguliyaHochuliya]

There is a preset called "AM radio"

[@timmytimmy9771]

There is indeed! However that preset is made with the intent of simulating a high quality, well connected AM radio. In this tutorial we are trying to replicate a standard-issued radio used by police or military where connection is higher prioritized than sound quality (: The AM radio preset is great for some purposes, but in this specifik scenario it is not what we want.

[@justmosaico343]

Isn't there a way to use it in games?

[@timmytimmy9771]

Absolutely. Just export the sound file as a .wav, .OGG or .mp3 file. If you want to use the effect in real-time you'd need to put an Equalizer filter over your mic. There are some tools for doing that, such as if you've got an Elgato mic: Wave Link

[@justmosaico343]

@@timmytimmy9771 How could I do if I don't have a microphone from el gato?
