I added reverb and distortion to my audio clip to make it sound like this was recorded on an older device similar to the time when MMA was in the early stages of popularity

Cover Song | Audio & Effects
I practiced using effects with my cover of Dream Of Butterfly from a game series called Persona! I added reverb, some eq filters to make my mic sound better, and echo through out the song. It was fun playing around with the effects in Audacity and I never realized how versatile it could actually be.

My audio final edit
The MMP 100 Podcast Intro
Spring 2025
Edited with Audacity
I used Audacity to edit a sample intro for my podcast. I used the noise gate and EQ to clean up the audio recording. I layered in some background music and a dial up modem sound effect.

Portrait of a place – updated
“My favorite place”
Spring 2025
Audacity
This time, I added some fade-ins and fade-outs at the beginning and end. I also experimented with the reverb presets to clear the voice a little more, used the graphic equalizer, and sped up the guitar with a tempo change to make the intro shorter.

Audio Edit 2
So this is the same audio from last week but with background filter and effects music. I use a chorus effect to remove some of the music and I use the fade effect.
Background music: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Mister_Beep/A_thousand_furious_bees/05_MISTER_BEEP-Galactic_coursing
Audio update with effects:
I added ambiance reverbs to the music and the owl, I changed some volumes, and I added fading in and out to the beginning and end of the music, birds, rain, fire, and owl.
Audio update with effects
I modified the first printing sound to be longer, and added an extra fax ringing and printing sound towards the end. The ending sounds were modified using the delay, pitch, and speed effects to make it sound unique compared to the ones played in the beginning. I added the extra sounds to make the entire audio clip more “full”.
Audio with Updates
I added some effects to my audio such as reverb, a change to the pitch and speed of the audio and a slight tempo change in both sound samples.
Audio Update with Effects
I added a noise gate along for my voice and cut out the awkward pauses. Also, I added a fade out for my intro music.
Some adjustments and additions.
I added and adjusted to the positions of some of the audio samples. Added some fade in/out. Generally, the same premise as before. Not entirely sure what you mean by complicate it? So now there’s a snoring man, you’re not alone… it’s complicated?
