Content

In this livestreamed tutorial I show you what (and why) you can do to make a recorded voice sound like it's being transmitted through an analogue wireless communication system.You can download the finished Ardour 6.2 session to play with it yourself (licensed under CC-0 1.0).In case you don't have 45 minutes to watch it all here's a cheat sheet:

Lowpass (simulate low frequency response of the transmission)

Highpass (simulate a small speaker playing back the transmitted signal)

Distortion (simulate overloading the transmitter's microphone) · Hard Gate (simulate weak signal reception)

Noise + Gate (simulate background noise, but only during transmission)

Reverb (simulate environment of the transmitter microphone)

Ringmod (simulate radio interference)

EQ to boost plosives (simulate no microphone wind screen and proximity effect) and add harsh resonances (to simulate suboptimal cheap microphone construction and chassis)

In/Out Noise Bursts (simulate signal cutoff at the end of transmission)

Use a crappy microphone or headphones to capture the voice lines in the first place
