To install it, once you’ve run the installer from iZotope, go to Effect > Add/Remove Plug-ins…, find the plug-in, and click Enable, then OK, and your new plug-in should appear in the top menu under Effect.
It’s from iZotope, and, like Audacity, it’s completely free – I thought I’d give you the whole vintage voice creator’s kit here! Head over here to download it. To add even more effects, there’s a great third-party plug-in you can use. Click preview to listen back and click OK once you’re happy with how it sounds. Here, we can make the Threshold quite high at something like -26dB, Noise Floor around -40dB, Ratio around 3:1, Attack Time really short at something like 0.10, and Release Time at about 8.2 secs. Once again, select your whole track, and go to Effect > Compressor in the top menu. Then, simply click OK and you’ve got a basic vintage voiceover! Additional Effectsīut there’s so much more you can do to your new track. You can play around a bit more now, sweeping up for a bit more effect or even adding some distortion by adding some ups and downs at the high end (see screenshot below). We can raise this audio, but what we really want to do is retain the audio, so let’s roll off anything below 300Hz and above 7,000Hz by dragging the line right down to the bottom at those two points.Ĭlick preview and you’ll hear that it’s already starting to sound rather different. Once you’ve either recorded your audio in Audacity or dropped a track into Audacity, select the whole track by pressing CRTL+A or CMD+A, then go to Effect in the top menu and select Filter Curve EQ, and what comes up is something that looks a little like the FFT filter.

Something I get asked quite a lot is how to create the vintage voice effect in Audacity. I’ve previously done a tutorial on this for Adobe Audition, but this time we’re focusing on the free Audacity software.
