Telephone effect

[dr1keyz]

I am not a newbie to recording, but I am new to effects for recording. I want to know how I can get that "telephone" effect sound.. Ex: ruben studdards 'sorry 2004" http://launch.yahoo.com/artist/default.asp?artistID=1099257 or..jojo "Leave( get out) ...)http://www.jojoonline.com/main.html) If someone can help me out with this it would be appreciated.

Its done by EQ. If your are using a software sequencer, take a look into the EQ presets you may already have the effect waiting for you to fine tune it.

I know that the download version of Adobe Audition has a really cool Phone effect. You can download it for free at the adobe website. You will have to down load the whole thing and then you will have a free recording program. Only for 30 days though.

cut out the middle freq. bands until you like what you hear.

I would suggest the exact opposite. Cut the top and bottom, boost the middle and add a little distortion. Use a cheap mic without a pop-sheild too.

hmmm...i retract my earlier statement. I tried a few different ways of doing it and I agree with Protein now. If you want clarity in the vocals cut the lows all the way up to about 800-900Hz and 5000Hz and above. The way I suggested gave a more nasaly sound. Which can sound cool too. Props to protein for making me look like a moron

Typical telephone frequency response is from 300-3100hz. Cut everything below 300 & above 3100 and adjust to taste.
