How do I make a phone effect using audacity?

Let me be a bit more spicific. How do I take an audio track or a voice, and make it sound like it's coming out of the earpiece of a phone, using audacity? If I can't do it with audacity, is there another free program that will do it?



Also, how would I make it sound like it's coming from a TV? An FM radio? Other devices?How do I make a phone effect using audacity?
Regardless of the app used the graphic equalizer is the best option.

You've got Audacity so go with that.

The main purpose of phone communication is speech so the frequencies transmitted are those associated with it.

Low and high frequencies are not needed.

__---__ = roughly the positions of the sliders.

If you want to go a bit further you could add some music or a recording of "people" noise from a mall or restaurant at a low level as though the person is in a noisy place.



To get a "TV" sound try adding a small amount of reverberation to give a "room" effect. TV / FM radio speakers are very small and don't produce much in the way of low frequencies but produce more in the high range so a boost there will help.

This is only a very rough guide but should get you on the right track.How do I make a phone effect using audacity?
You have to do a number of things, you have to tweak the eq and also add a filter, most likely the hi pass filter, by highlighting the track and then choosing effect from the menu at the top and choosing hi pass filter, then mess around with that along with the eq until you get in the range that sounds like it. You should get FL Studio, it has that exact function to where you dont have to tweak anything and it has the FM radio and all that too.

Audacitys a great program especially since its free, but theres still many things its limited in, but if you mess around with the fx and eq you should find something close to what you want.How do I make a phone effect using audacity?
