- Hello, I'm Mike Russell from MusicRadioCreative.com.
In this video, I'll talk about audio presets for Audacity.

or simply wanna make your voice sound different,
you must get hold of my Audacity presets.
Head over to mrc.fm/presets.

- Is it even possible to create audio presets in Audacity?
The answer is, yes, it is.
And I've got one that I'm gonna let you have for free
if you watch to the end of this video.
First, I'm gonna show you how it's made.
So here's my voice.
This audio preset will make your voice sound better.
And now I want to apply a lot of different Audacity effects
really quickly with something under the Tools menu
called Macros, okay?
So, under Macros, I'm going to create a brand new Macro
and I'm gonna call it Mike Voice.
And I'll make this available for you to download
for free at the end of the video, so keep watching.
Now, all you do when you create a Macro
is then insert different Audacity effects.
So we'll start off by looking for the Filter Curve EQ,
because it's really very good.
Click OK.
Oh, and before I do that I should say
that I actually want to edit the parameters.
So I can just add on maybe a little bit of high-end here.
Always do a boost around here,
a bass boost and a low-end roll off.
That's fine for me.
That Filter Curve EQ is now added in and ready to go.
The next thing I wanna do is insert a compressor.
So let's find the compressor
in my lovely long list of different things I can apply
and click OK.
And then I will edit the compressor.
That's the EQ.
Let's click the compressor, edit it,
make sure it's set to my liking.
Maybe boost that up a little bit.
Move that down as far as we can.
Click OK.
There in the wrong order,
so I want to move this one up like that.
I also want to insert the ability to normalize.
So let's look for Normalize under here
and we should find it right about there.
Click OK.
I'm applying that.
And I want to normalize after I EQ, so let's move that down.
Let's move this.
It's a bit confusing.
Move Normalize down, so we got EQ, Normalize, Compress,
and finally we'll Normalize again.
Insert and hopefully we'll get this
in the right place first time.
There it is.
Normalize.
Click OK
And, boom, it's in.
So it's back to my original tutorial
I'd done nearly 10 years ago on my channel
about making voices sound better.
E.N.C.N, Equalize, Normalize, Compress, Normalize.
That's what I'm doing in this preset.
It's called Mike Voice.
We'll close out of this, of course, saving the changes.
And then let's run that Macro, Tools, Apply Macro,
Mike Voice.
Oh, of course, we need to select everything.
Thank you, Audacity, it's done it for me.
Mike Voice.
Boom, there's your better voice.
This audio preset will make your voice sound better.
And there we go.
There is that preset applied with one click of the mouse
from the Tools menu.
So how do you get it for yourself?
Well, when you've created a Macro,
you can indeed export it like so.
And I'm gonna do, I'm gonna export it now.
I'm gonna call it Mike Voice
and just save it in my Audacity directory.
Save.
And then when you download that file
all you do is go into the same dialogue box.
It's under Tools, Macros, you click Import,
and then there's Mike Voice.
If it wasn't already there,
and let's remove it, so we can show you how this works.
You go Import, Mike Voice text file,
and, boom, there's my preset, simple as that.
You wanna download it?
Go to mrc.fm/presets
and look for the free Audacity preset download there.
