A Romantic Fangirl

xposting from Tumblr where I completely lost this post and reena had to find it for me :|
 

@reena-jenkins asked how to make a robot voice (a la Jarvis) in Audacity, so here we go :) I hope that’s close enough. I only used this once and the tutorial I learned it from was for Adobe Audition (surprisingly, the effects there don’t match)

I tried to take as many screencaps as possible, so anyone could follow.

You take your recording and make two more copies of it on separate tracks (just Ctrl+C/Ctrl+P twice in the empty area)

Then select each copy and go into the Effects menu to Change Speed. Increase the speed on one of them and decrease the speed on the other (I went with 1/-1 to keep it comprehensible. It gets distracting if you use more than 3/-3) Play around with the speed ratios until you get the type of robot voice you’re after. (-3/2 sounds pretty cool, but nothing like JARVIS)

Then you select all three tracks (Ctrl+A) and go into the Tracks menu. Click Mix and Render

And, voila!
