Hi all,

Just doing some experimenting this week with voiceovers. Has anyone created a voice "echo"? If so, how is it done? I have a Sony Electret condenser mic.

thx

Hi cbidnick,

Here’s a very easy to use, and very free, simple tape type delay/echo VST plug in, that you can install in your Cyberlink WaveEditor.
http://www.e-phonic.com/plugins/tapedelay.php

Download and save zipped folder > Un-zip/extract contents > Open WaveEditor > Click on Effects menu at the top left of your screen > Click on VST > Click on Import VST > Browse for the “.dll” file in the un-zipped folder > Open > Click OK.

Now import an audio track to WaveEditor > Grab and drag the gold Ranger finder to the right (so it covers the range or portion of the track you want the echo applied to).

Then, on the left side of the screen, scroll down and look under the VST heading in the left Effects window > Click on E Phonic Tape Delay, and then just play with the controls till you get the echo you want.
(Note: Using the mouse to spin the knobs is a bit fidgety, but it just takes a little experimentation with your cursor placement to get a full range of knob movement.)

Hi Cranston, thanks for that tip. Not only about the echo, but more importantly about VST in general. Didn't knew there was such a wealth on plugings available for PD...

Hi there,

I use Free Audio Editor (http://www.free-audio-editor.com). Despite its name, there is a paid-for version, which I have. I think it's worh the money. I believe you can produce echo in the free version as well.

VST plug-ins are, of course, a great way of expanding Wave Editor's feaures and capabilites. If interested in this technology, you might want to give a try to DarkWave Studio (http://www.experimentalscene.com/software/darkwave-studio): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uurq8xj9DMk with sound track made in DarkWave Studio.
