Tryin to find the sound.....

Actually... i'm trying to find a effect... I got this song that we got laid down, and i'm trying to hit this one part with that telephone effect, kinda like in the Lloyd and Ashanti song.... how it sound like they talkin through the telephone... i looked through Pro Tools.... Sound Forge... Cool Edit.. just cannot find the effect anywhere, anybody know where i can get it?

if I got you right, oy ucan do this kinda thing with an eq.

Just take out the top and bottom ends of your vocal, so that yo uare left with just the mid frequencies. Voila - thin, telephone-like vocals.

On a side note, does anyone know how to pull up VST instruments or Plug ins from Pro Tools 5.3.1? Like i got Waves... but i dont know how to pull em through PT

personally i record to mini tape (the little dictation recorders with built in mic) for lo-fi fx but i'm really interested in this little toy >

Radio Shack sells standard size cassette recorders that hook to your telephone line for $30 as well. you can get one of those and hang it off one line, run your HEADPHONE OUT from a mixer with the audio source into the 1/8" connection for a 'hands free' telephone set.

then you have the real deal. you can play with hanging the recorder off different phones etc.

good luck!

dudum...

I like that!

get them to sing the line down the phone and record it!

i like that idea!!! BUT!! the only problem is the song is already all recorded, and dude is back outta town for a while... and i have to get this song finished completely.... I know i can probably find the plug in some where, but i don't even know how to bring plug ins up on PT....

Get the vocal track and play it through the phone!

Try some modulation or flanger the F/with the EQ it might work !

yeah sorry that was soo obvious cheech beat me to it....id recomemnd that but if you really dont want the hassle...use chop out everything except the extreme mids and then apply mild distortion and maybe be some de-esse...

greg

cut the lows, cut the highs a little, boost the mid frequencies a little and sweep them until you hit it. Or just use a bandpass filter.

Sound Forge 6 does have the effect you are looking for. When I get home, I'll check out the program and let ya'll know. I've used it before to get that "telephone" sound.

it's either a high pass filter or Amplitude modulation or something like that...i cant remember, i put it on a chorus about 2 months ago

It's in the R3 bundle, which can be dl'ed, since they don't make it anymore.

Okay go to Cool Edit go to the editing screen go to Transform,FFT Fitlers and scroll down to an effect called "Get Off The Phone" that should do it but you might have to tweak to your liking.
