For those who can't find this Equalization effect, on some Audacity versions it's called Filter Curve EQ

Sorry for the interuption, but i'm trying to get this out there for people to know the truth, no matter how crazy you think it is. Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, that He died for you and all of our sins, acknowledge that you are a sinner and that you need Him, repent and ask forgiveness, and believe and have faith that He is real. For Jesus is the only way to heaven! Now once you accept Him, you will receive the Holy Spirit, now while you are alive, read your bible, follow God, and live for Him.

Thank you im trying to get Alstor's voice from Hazbin hotel but i can't work it out :(

[@MikeRussell]

😝

[@kahvia9521]

Yeah, same here. Been obsessed with the early to mid 1900s for a while now, and Alastor's voice just topped it. Here is a makeshift step by step way on getting it somewhat decently close. Step 1: Learn a Mid-Atlantic accent. That is what a lot of 1900s people soud like, and many were required to learn it for their jobs, like radio announcer and commercial advertiser. Step 2: Do this. Step 3: Enjoy. :)

i might use this for animations but I kinda like the filter for a conceptual game i want to make. The game takes place in the 1790’s but vintage voice would be the best I do.

Excellent video, used your techniques on several recordings. Hey buddy, can you do a video on making your voice into a child's voice effect. Not just simply changing the pitch, but something more realistic?

[@attaway_electronics39]

We here at Attaway Electronics prefer our advertisements have a 1950s and 1940s feel to them. Although we are strapped for time, we will certainly give this a try at a later date....thanks for the tips and we wish you the best!

[@MikeRussell]

Great to hear!

[@FractalSkye]

Seconding Francesca Sannazzaro in saying I think Audacity now labels the EQ-effect shown in the first half of this, "Filter Curve". Also the iZotope Vinyl plugin apparently no longer supports Audacity :( I guess that's why there's no longer a link to it in the notes here but instead there's a link to Russell's own preset installation files which cost £5 and which I haven't tried yet because I'm crazy-broke. Hopefully this saves someone the hour or two it took me to work all that out!

[@MikeRussell]

This video was made in 2018 using the current at the time version of Audacity. There are new Audacity videos already on the channel with more planned.

[@FractalSkye]

Do you have any alternatives to Izotope Vinyl? The newest build of Vinyl that you can get from Izotope is 64-bit and not compatible with Audacity...
