How to have a voice effect like a pilot?

Hello,

When i’m recording videos of me flying, i’d like to transform my voice live with a “pilot voice” effect… do you know if and how it’s possible ?

Thank you.

Hi,

it is possible, but requires some clever use of software to emulate the effect caused by the hardware in a real life aircraft.

The best example I’ve found so far is on youtube, and titled “How To Make Your Flight Sim Microphone Sound Like a Real Aviation Headset!”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M5nHxfrKoE

I’m sure there are other tutorials elsewhere that others can post…

In the real world, the hardware, along with limitations of voice-over-radio are what what cause that iconic “pilot” sound. High-pass cutoffs, differences in mics design, etc. result in the trimming out of parts of the human voice.
