[SOLVED] The flashback voice effect - Theforgot3n1 - 05-05-2012
Hello there. I've been starting on doing flashback voice works, and am now wondering how I can make the effects that are used on the voices in the game flashbacks.
It's a sort of muffled sound, making it sound ghost-like, I dunno.

Adding reverb is the way to go. Reverb is kind of like an echo; imagine you're in a big room and yelled something, that's reverb.I suggest using Audacity, its free, and you can export it as an ".ogg"file, suitable for Amnesia's engine. Effects are very simple for it, simply click the track, press the effects button at the top and select reverb.

A cool trick with reverb is to first reverse your vocal-track, apply the reverb, then reverse it back to normal, gives a nice ghostly sound :)

Hm, I tried using reverb, the echo, but it didn't sound close to what they do in the flashbacks.

Tried the two-tactic but it sounded just odd, not flashbackly.
Using Audacity.

2. Render it
3. Take the new rendered audio and reverse it (so it's NOT playing backwards)
4. Add another reverb effect on it
5. Render, and ur done

EDIT: Tried assuming render = make a new sound track.
It fucked up greatly.

Render, meaning export, as in saving it as an OGG or MP3
EDIT: Oh no, wait, I think he means "apply," like changing it so the reverb is actually part of the audio, and not just playing in real-time. Audacity doesn't do this, it just applies the effect once you hit "OK," so no need to look for a 'render' option.

EDIT: Nvm it, this is solved.
