[AUDIO] Distant AND reverb for enabled monster

**Damascus** · 09-14-2012, 07:25 AM

I'm currently going back over some of the voice files for my custom enemy, and I'm looking for some Audacity help. In Justine, when a Suitor becomes enabled, their voice sounds distant, echoed, and somewhat muted, and I'm trying to make a similar effect for my own custom enemy's enabled sound.

Anyone know how to achieve this effect in Audacity?

i wouldnt know about audacity, but FL Studio has some pretty neat effects. you can download the demo absolutely free, with all the content, with the only downside being that you can save your files, but you cannot open them. if you choose to use FL Studio for these effects, let me know and ill try my best to help you out as best i can.

I don't know much about Audacity, but I used it to create some horrifying sounds and music. Though, I never used effects like the ones you try to use. With the possible exception of echo.

They weren't monster sounds that I created, so I don't really know if I can help.

Audacity uses Gverb. Here is a wikianswers site I found a while back that has a good arrangement of settings. The more you use it, the more you can begin to understand how each value works, then fine tune the Gverb to match your specific needs:

Hope that helped.

Reverb seems easy enough. Will that also be able to make it sound as distant as the suitor sample, or would that be a different effect?

I'm not certain. You could always fiddle with the numbers.

Not really. Sound won't really echo and create more reverb like the effect I'm looking for. It's also played out of the entity as enabled.snt automatically so I have to do all my work in the file itself, not a script.

You'll need to mess around with the effects until you reach the desired sound. That's how I created my first horror music, in about 2 hours of work, composed entirely of custom sounds.

It chills me, even though I created that.

There is an echo effect. Effects, and the dropdown. There it is. I used audacity sometimes, and when I was bored i did cool things. Explained enough. There is something to make the sound more sharper (at least this is how google translated it XD) try messing with that too, maybe is useful.
