I have a question concerning the Audio Editor. What I'd like to do is take an audio clip and make it sound as if it was someone talking on a phone... you know what I mean? So that it's kind of .. not sure how to describe it, it's been used in videos quite a few times, it's a bit fuzzy or something... oh yeah! So if you hear someone talking on the radio, while they're on the phone.. that's what I want.
Anyone have any ideas?
"telephone" quality audio filter??
I don't have MediaStudio, but I'll try to give you some suggestions. (I have Visual Studio & DVD Workshop.)
The main audio effect (filter) that you need is an equalizer. You want to chop-off the highest & lowest frequencies. You'll have to experiment, but I'd suggest filtering-out everything below 300Hz, and everything above 3000Hz. A bandpass filter would be even better. You can "make" a bandpass filter by combining (overlapping) a high-pass and a low-pass filter. You could probably add to the effect by adding compression, or limiting. Compression makes the loud parts quieter and the quite parts louder, limiting the dynamic range. Limiting and compression should add some harshness (distortion) to the sound.
If MediaStudio's audio editor doesn't have an equalizer, you need an audio editor. I use Goldwave ($45). You might have to export the audio to a wave file first. I've used this procedure (not the telephone effect) with Video Studio... Extract the audio to wave, add some equalization & reverb, make a DVD with new & improved soundtrack.
