Audio effect help
hi all,
This is a simple thing to accomplish im sure, but ive been unsuccessful thus far. I’m editing a scene where two military solders are communicating with each other by way of radio through an ear piece. I’m editing back and forth with the audio as it was shot, and some of the communication as it would be heard through the ear piece, with that higher pitched, slightly static radio sound. Can this be accomplished with vegas 6, or would i be better off using a different software application to manipulate audio?
Thanx for reading,
Carson -

you can easily do this same place in vegas 6, by using
a vst audio plugin to tweak your split audio to have
that high pitched (over the phone) sound or you can fiddle
with your current audio plugins by using the reverb with the
equalizers..etc…etc until you get a desirable sound.Steve Rhoden

You can eq out the lows and highs, experiment with the frequencies to get the thin ear piece sound, then find some static audio and put it on another audio track where the ear piece audio is and mix to the desired levels. Hope this helps, Danny Hays

Hi Carson-
Set up a separate audio track, and move any audio clips to it that you want to sound like radio transmission. Equalize that audio track to REMOVE all frequencies below about 1600, AND remove frequencies above about 3000. Feel free to change those frequencies to get the sound you’re looking for.
Then turn that track down about 3-4 db overall, as the sound will be more piercing. You can also add some radio static on yet another track, aligning the static clips to the radio sound, so you only hear the static while the actual transmission is going on. That will help add to the realism. Also try to find a beep or click sound, as a radio would make when the Talk button gets released, and put it at the end of each transmission.
If you have a little extra time, you can also heavily compress that audio track, as well as add some light distortion to it. But the above will be quite convincing even without these last two.
