Been searching high and low for something I can use to change my voice to make it sound like an old timey radio. This should work perfectly! You are amazing
I’m looking for some relatively subtle voice changes for my Kolivan cosplay from Voltron (S2 Ep8). This looks like it has the right level of controls to adjust from pretty extreme to that subtler mix. Thanks!
Hi Cliff! Ya, there's a wide range of distortion you can get. I've used this choice changer in video games online, messages, alarms, and various arduino interactions. It's been lots of fun. Good luck with your Kolivan costume and thanks for the comment!
Hey, thanks for the video! This is awesome. Could I use this to change my voice in real time during phone calls? I want to create a robotic voice to use while talking on the phone. Thanks again for the video, this is awesome!
Hey there! Thanks for the question. The short answer is yes, you can use this over the phone. The easiest way to do it is speak into the audio hacker microphone and place the speaker close to your phone so they hear a distorted voice. It's really easy to use over your computer. I have used it in zoom meetings and video games online. If you have a way to speak on the phone through your computer, that would be a really good way to do it.... a voice of IP or some integrated phone network. You would basically connect this audio hacker between your amplified microphone and the pc.
Great video! I'm working about a voice changer for a cosplay, but my audio Hacker (idk if it's really the audio hacker or the arduino uno) keeps doing a strange and constant noise, do you know how to fix it?
is the noise static or a buzzing sound? I have had that before when using this. I switch the 2.5mm aux cable and it is clear. how are you connecting the audio hacker in your cosplay setup?
@@BMonsterLaboratory I have an Arduino uno connected to audio hacker and dj set, the the output Is connected to a speaker 3.5 jack and a microphone (also 3.5 jack) that i usually Hide insider my Mask for RealTime voice change... I'm hearing a static sound while It works and it's still present when i change the audio output, It even keeps doing It while connected to my pc
I'm planning on Making a costume with a voice changer and this really looks easy and simple however I couldn't find the same Audio hacker anywhere and I don't know what to do
I bought it here nootropicdesign.com/audio-hacker/ There are example libraries you can use in the Audio Hacker library (found here) github.com/nootropicdesign/audio-hacker?tab=readme-ov-file There's example code for "voice changer". Try it out 👍 I hope they come out with an improved version for the new gen Arduino boards!
Hi. Thanks for this, I've just purchased the audio hacker & shield along with a cheap portable voice amp and microphone set to use in a costume. The mic & amp work on their own but if I put the amp in the output of the hacker it's constant static and the mic doesn't seem to produce anything. The only thing I'm thinking is the mic isn't getting power to the audio hacker, do you think a small battery powered one would work?
Hey Mike! Let's get this up & running for you. First of all, did you install the library? Do you get any messages thru arduino ide serial monitor? Can you tell me which mic and amp you are using?
@@BMonsterLaboratory Hi there! Thanks for your help, much appreciated! (reposting this as I think TH-cam deleted it due to having a link in it) . Everything seemed to install okay, the only message I got was an install successful one after I uploaded it. The mic & amp I've got is a JCWY "Voice Amplifier, 12W Rechargeable PA system (1200mAh) With Wired Microphone for Teachers, Tour Guide and more (Black)" which I got from the UK Amazon page. Thanks again for your help!
@@mikec6096 You need active speakers and active mic for this. I have used many speakers on this (soundbar, Oontz Angle 3 pro, recycled speakers connected to an amplifier. The only mic I have ever used is my Blue Yeti, and it has it's own amplifier. To my knowledge, you have to have external power on both. I looked up your headset and speaker and I'm thinking it may have an active speaker but not an active mic - am I correct on this?
@@BMonsterLaboratory Hi, I believe so, the amp is rechargeable on its own power but the mic has no power by itself, I'll have a look into a smallish powered one to test that out. Thanks!
Just an addendum here, the powered mic I've picked up works and the settings on the board work as anticipated, however the amp still has a lot of static, even before the mic is plugged in, wondering if its just that unit itself.
Can this be used for like a biker helmet? I had an idea a while back and was curious to see if I could do it with the board and through the speakers on the helmet is that possible?
hmm... I guess that depends on the mic setup in your helmet. Does it have a 3.5mm aux. port to plug the mic into ? Is the mic amplified? ...probably is, i'm just asking. You will need a power supply or the arduino board / shield and power for your amplified helmet mic. where would you store the board and shield? Store it in a jacket with the wire running to the helmet? Wish I could help more, i'm just not familiar with the those helmets. I like the idea though 😎👍
Hello that looks very interesting, i would like to do a alastor sounding like voice over, at least adding the radio static voice effect over my voice... if possible
@@BMonsterLaboratory I'm leaning more towards Batman Beyond so I'd 3d print something to hang it off the belt . Thanks for the video, couldn't find a Wave shield and the audio hacker is a great replacement.
Would have wanted to make this but the voice hacker isn't available on my country and if I buy from a foreign country it's more expensive which is a sad thing
Ya, that's too bad the price increase is so high for out of country purchases. It is a neat shield with some nice libraries. Not sure if there's another way to get it cheaper or if this is sold in other countries...may be worth looking into!
@@jona6028 Jona, that sounds awesome! Here's the link nootropicdesign.com/products/ I use the Audio Hacker and the DJ shield in this video. Good luck to you!
can this be used to speak through a mask like a darth vader mask or over the phone in a phone call? because I was wanting to use this as a Halloween prank to act like ghost face from scream lol so for professional purposes of course.
you can rig it to work in a mask. I still need to try it out with a wireless lapel mic. I think would be best if it works...but i'm not sure. If you can plug an amplified mic into your phone you can use this shield to alter your voice on phone calls. Also, if you have voice-over-IP phone calls, you can speak through your pc and alter your voice. I have used it on zoom meetings and pc games over the computer.
@@BMonsterLaboratory do you have a video tutorial showing how you solder and set it all up I'm asking because I'm not to that savvy and I don't wanna solder the wrong spot by mistake.
@@Valaso-Osalav I bought mine already soldered. It will cost a little more but worth it if you don't have time, soldering equipment, or you're unsure of soldering ability. nootropicdesign.com/store/product-category/arduino-shields/ If you use it in a mask you will need to make sure the mic is close to your mouth and that it is amplified - crank it up so it covers your normal voice. You will have to find a place to conceal he arduino/shield as well.
Thanks for this cool video!!! Like other people in the comments, i'm researching how to make a real-time voice changer for an Alastor cosplay (old timey radio voice), with a throat mic. I don't know if anyone succeeded with this method though, if this device can only change the pitch... Can't we code other voice effects on Arduino? I don't know anything about sound or arduino so I don't know what's possible or not and how 😅 especially since I want to keep the entire device as small as possible to hide under my costume. Anyway, thanks for the video! I'm learning a lot!!!
Hi there! You can use the Audio Hacker shield/uno as a stand alone, sure! You will need a power supply to plug into the barrel jack of the Uno and a speaker and mic plugged into the Audio Hacker. You should connect an amplified speaker to the Audio Hacker. It can drive a small 8 ohm speaker, but for big sound you a speaker with it's own power source. An amplified speaker powers the speaker drivers and boosts the audio signal to produce sound. You will also need a microphone preamplifier or an audio amplifier circuit to boost the microphone signal. I hope that helps! 👍
I don't believe the sram is used for RT voice changer. You're not saving any recordings using that option. The SRAM is for recording/playback of stored audio samples. check it out here -> nootropicdesign.com/audio-hacker/ best of luck with your project! 👍
@@BMonsterLaboratory I thought so too, but then I saw they say "High-speed SRAM allows fast access to audio data for realtime processing and mixing." I suppose I can plan to use an sram chip but first try without it and see if it works.
sounds like a good idea. I thought the real time voice was altered by potentiometers.. sounds like you've done some pretty good research. I hope your project turns out great!
I'm a bit overwhelmed to be honest. Each product over at nootropic design just links to endless loops of more pages. I saw a TH-cam by them where they had a real time voice changer setup with just one potentiometer. That's all I want- that exact setup. Do you know if they sell that pre-built for idiots like me?
Hey there! Was this the video? th-cam.com/video/fy28FCZDGVk/w-d-xo.html You can do this by using the Audio Hacker board without the DJ Player shield. I believe he is using a B500K or 10K Linear Pot Potentiometer on A0 or A1 to change the bit rate / sample resolution. The product website says the DJ Shield uses three 10K linear potentiometers connected to analog pins 0,1,2. If you need any help, let me know....happy to help where I can
Hi Kent! I haven't used it as a portable device but you should be able to. You only need the computer to load the code onto the Uno. I think there may be a problem with hearing your own voice over your disguised voice unless you connect it to a loud speaker or large PA system. If you could find a way to isolate the sound of your normal voice, that may work as well. Good question! I will try it out tonight and let you know how it goes.
Yes you can. You have to use a microphone that has it's own power supply. I'm using the yeti blue mic and it's powered by a usb cable. I'm using oontz angle 3 pro speaker. they sound really good together and you can turn it up loud enough to drown out your normal voice in real time. I tried using a lapel mic that that plugs straight into the aux jack and it did not work. I hope that helps. If you need a picture just let me know
@@BMonsterLaboratory I'm really happy I found your video because I'm looking for exactly what you described Is there any way you could still take those pictures? I know it's been a while. I'd love to know how to do this with a very portable set-up like what you described above. I'm trying to figure out a way to make this for into a mask for a cosplay. Thanks in advance.
I think so. Others have act about building it into a helmet. You just need room for the Uno, audio hacker shield, and a battery supply. You don't need the 2nd shield with the knobs and buttons. Check out the website nootropicdesign.com/audio-hacker/
Hey there! Good question. This shield works with Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, Mega, and Leonardo. To use a Mega or Leonardo, you need to solder a 6-pin ICSP header on the bottom right side of the board.
