你需要什么 (What You’ll Need)

• Audacity, to record, clean up, export audio. Check out the How-To Geek Guide to Audio Editing: The Basics to get started.

  Audacity ，用于记录，清理，导出音频。 查阅“如何进行音频编辑的极客指南：基础知识”开始学习。

• Melodyne Studio, to create the actual effect. It runs on Windows and Mac OS, and you can use the demo version if you meet the next requirement, otherwise you may have to buy it.

  Melodyne Studio ，以创建实际效果。 它可以在Windows和Mac OS上运行，如果满足下一个要求，则可以使用演示版本，否则可能必须购买。

• “Stereo Mix” enabled on your computer, to bypass having to buy the full version of Melodyne Studio. Check out our article, How To Enable “Stereo Mix” in Windows 7 (to Record Audio), for more information related to this.

  您在计算机上启用了“立体声混音”，从而不必购买完整版的Melodyne Studio。 请查看我们的文章“如何在Windows 7中启用“立体声混音”(以录制音频)” ，以获取与此相关的更多信息。

• A decent quality microphone, if you want to record your own source audio.优质的麦克风，如果您想录制自己的源音频。

音源 (Source Audio)

Obviously, we’ll need a recording of some type of phrase to work with. The way Valve did it for Portal was they had a professional voice actress, Ellen McLain, do her best impression of a text-to-speech engine. They used TTS to record her lines, then played them back to give her a basis for her voice acting. While we may not all be professional voice actors, it’s pretty easy to get the same effect at home. I used the AT&T Labs Natural Voices Text-to-Speech Demo to get a basis, then used the array mic on my netbook to record my best impression (with a few changes for emphasis). Mac users can record the output of the “say” command, or you can mix it up with whatever TTS program you prefer. You can always just use TTS output instead of your voice, but using a real voice makes the difference.

显然，我们需要录制一些类型的短语才能使用。 Valve为Portal做到的方式是，他们拥有专业的语音女演员Ellen McLain ，对文本语音转换引擎的印象最深。 他们使用TTS录制她的台词，然后播放它们，为她的声音表演打下基础。 虽然我们可能都不都是专业的配音演员，但在家中获得相同的效果还是很容易的。 我使用AT＆T Labs的Natural Voices文本语音转换演示来获得基础，然后使用上网本上的阵列麦克风来记录我的最佳印象(需要进行一些更改)。 Mac用户可以记录“ say”命令的输出，也可以将其与您喜欢的任何TTS程序混合使用。 您始终可以只使用TTS输出而不是语音，但是使用真实的语音会有所不同。

I recorded my voice in Audacity and did some quick noise removal to clean it up. If you chose to record your own audio, check out our article The How-To Geek Guide to Audio Editing: Basic Noise Removal. When I recorded it, it gave it to me as a stereo track. I stripped it down to a mono track, and exported it as a .wav.

我用Audacity录制了声音，并做了一些快速的除噪处理。 如果您选择录制自己的音频，请查看我们的文章“如何进行音频编辑极客指南：基本噪声消除” 。 当我录制它时，它像立体声轨道一样给了我。 我将其剥离为单声道，并将其导出为.wav。

Click on the title of the sound clip (next to the “X”) and select “Split Stereo to Mono.”

单击声音片段的标题(“ X”旁边)，然后选择“将立体声拆分为单声道”。

You’ll end up with something like this:

您最终将得到以下内容：

I chose the slightly better track by selecting and playing one at a time, and got rid of the other by clicking the “X” button on the top-left of the track info.

通过一次选择并播放一个曲目，我选择了稍微好一点的曲目，并通过单击曲目信息左上角的“ X”按钮摆脱了另一个曲目。

Next, go to File > Export.

接下来，转到文件>导出。

You’ll see the Export dialog come up.

您会看到导出对话框。

You can just export it as a WAV, as everything else will be done in Melodyne Studio.

您可以将其导出为WAV，因为其他所有操作都将在Melodyne Studio中完成。

在Melodyne中编辑 (Editing in Melodyne)

In the Melodyne Studio demo, open up your .wav file. You’ll end up seeing a screen like this:

在Melodyne Studio演示中，打开您的.wav文件。 您最终会看到这样的屏幕：

We want some playback controls, so go to Window > Transport Bar.

我们需要一些播放控件，因此请转到“窗口”>“传输栏”。

You’ll see the Transport Bar pop up.

您会看到运输栏弹出。

This’ll come in handy to play and stop the audio.

这将很方便播放和停止音频。

Next, take a look at the upper right portion of the screen. Those are the controls we’ll be using. You can see that right now, the selection tool is highlighted.

接下来，看一下屏幕的右上部分。 这些就是我们将要使用的控件。 您现在可以看到选择工具突出显示。

The first thing we’re going to do is put everything in the same musical key. Hit CTRL+A to select all, then click on the Edit Pitch control.

我们要做的第一件事是将所有内容都放在相同的音乐键中。 按CTRL + A选择所有，然后单击“编辑音高”控件。

You’ll see the display change slightly, to this:

您会看到显示略有变化，如下所示：

Double click on one of the sound bubbles, and you’ll see all of them “snap” to the nearest note.

双击其中一个气泡，您会看到所有气泡都“捕捉”到最近的音符。

Next, we’ll remove pitch modulation. This smoothes out the sound of your voice, so it sounds more consistent and robotic. Click and hold on the “Edit Pitch” control to pop up the other controls, and go down to Pitch Modulation.

接下来，我们将删除音高调制。 这样可以使您的声音变得平滑，因此听起来更加一致且更具机械感。 单击并按住“ Edit Pitch”控件，以弹出其他控件，然后转到“ Pitch Modulation”。

Once again, hit CTRL+A to select all.  Double click on any of the sound bubbles to remove modulation. The result will look something like this:

再次，按CTRL + A以全选。 双击任何一个气泡以消除调制。 结果将如下所示：

You’ll see that some of the hanging lines between the bubbles have disappeared, and the line running through each bubble is flat.

您会看到气泡之间的一些悬挂线消失了，穿过每个气泡的线是平坦的。

Next, we’ll change the formant, which sort of sounds like you’re changing the size of the vocal chords of whoever spoke the audio. Choose the Edit Format control.

接下来，我们将更改共振峰，这听起来就像您正在改变讲音频的人的和弦大小。 选择编辑格式控件。

Once again, the view will change, and you’ll want to hit CTRL+A to select all. Here’s what you’ll see:

再次，视图将更改，您将需要按CTRL + A来全选。 这是您将看到的内容：

You see those bars over each sound bubble? Click on any one of them and drag up, probably about 3 steps. When you play back, you’ll immediately hear the difference; it sounds like a child is saying it now. Here’s what it looks like after the change.

您看到每个气泡上方的那些条了吗？ 单击其中任何一个并向上拖动，可能大约需要3个步骤。 播放时，您会立即听到不同之处。 听起来像是小孩在说。 更改后的外观如下。

分割音符 (Splitting Notes)

If you want to split up a word and move them into two separate notes, you can do what’s called “segment separation.” Choose the segment separation control:

如果您想拆分一个单词并将其移动到两个单独的音符中，则可以执行所谓的“段分离”。 选择细分分隔控件：

Then, you can find a line over one of the sound bubbles, and slide it over to where you want to break up the audio.

然后，您可以在其中一个气泡上找到一条线，并将其滑到要拆分音频的位置。

Then, you can edit the pitch of that segment separately from the others.

然后，您可以分别编辑该线段的音高。

讽刺行情 (Sarcasm Quotes)

GlaDOS will often employ sarcasm when speaking certain words in Portal. The sound quality is grossly different but it’s the same effect as what we’ve been doing, just in the opposite direction.

在Portal中讲某些单词时，GlaDOS经常会讽刺。 音质截然不同，但效果却与我们一直在做的一样，只是方向相反。

In my example, I have two syllables I need to change at the very end. You can select multiple sound bubbles with the selection tool by clicking and dragging and creating a box around what you need to edit. Here’s the section I’m editing in my file:

在我的示例中，我有两个音节需要在最后更改。 您可以使用选择工具通过单击并拖动并在需要编辑的内容周围创建一个框来选择多个气泡。 这是我正在文件中编辑的部分：

To get that weird sarcasm effect, we’re going to first lower the pitch by almost 5 steps. Once again, select the Edit Pitch control, and slide everything down.

为了获得怪异的讽刺效果，我们将首先将音调降低近5步。 再次选择“编辑音高”控件，然后将所有内容向下滑动。

To finish the effect, we’re going to drop the formant on those bubbles from 3 steps above to 4-5 steps below. Your finished product will look like this:

为了完成效果，我们将共振峰从上面的3步下降到下面的4-5步。 您的成品将如下所示：

获取完成的文件 (Getting the Finished File)

The Melodyne Studio demo doesn’t allow exporting the finished sound or saving the project midway through. To work around this, make sure your mic is disabled and “Stereo Mix” is the default recording device. Then open up Audacity.

Melodyne Studio演示不允许导出完成的声音或中途保存项目。 要解决此问题，请确保您的麦克风已禁用，并且“立体声混音”是默认的录音设备。 然后打开Audacity。

What you need to do is hit record in Audacity and then hit play in Melodyne, and then stop both once their done. That’s it. Here’s a shot of it in action.

您需要做的是在Audacity中打出唱片，然后在Melodyne中打出游戏，然后在完成后都停止播放。 而已。 这是实际操作的镜头。

You can edit the file in Audacity easily. Just select the silent portions of the track at the beginning and end, and hit Delete to remove them. All done! Go to File > Export, and you can choose to do it as an mp3.

您可以轻松地在Audacity中编辑文件。 只需在曲目的开头和结尾选择静音部分，然后按Delete键将其删除。 全做完了！ 转到“文件”>“导出”，您可以选择将其作为mp3格式。

As a bonus for you readers, you get to hear my horrible voice all modulated and reformed. You can grab the mp3 below.

作为对您的读者的奖励，您可以听到我所有经过调制和改造的可怕声音。 您可以在下面获取mp3。
