Audio Effects
:check:Trimming - Removing "dead air " or silence space from the front of recording to reduce file size
-
:check: Volume Adjustment- If you are combining several recordings into one there is a good chance that you won't get a consistent volume level. It is best to use a sound editor to normalize the combined audio about 80%-90% of the maximum level. If the volume is increased too loud, you will hear a distortion
-
:check: Resampling and downsampling- If you have recorded your sound at 16-bit rates, you can downsample to lower rates by downsampling the file to reduce the file size
:check:Fade-ins and Fade-outs-
To smooth the beginning and the end of the sound file by gradually increasing or decreasing volume
:check:Equalization-Some program offer digital equalization capabilities to modify the bass, treble or midrange frequency to make the audio sounds better
-
:check:Digital Signal Processing -To increase pitch, robot voice, echo and other special effects
