Then, you go to the Effect menu, select Equalization, and left-click once on the big purple line where you want the top of the rolloff frequency to be, i.e. the lowest frequency that you want to have the original loudness. This will probably be around 60-100 Hz. Then you click again on the purple line a bit to the left, and drag the next point down to the bottom. You can experiment with moving the points around, of course. That should be the basic effect you're looking for. Also, you might want to try giving your voice a little boost in the 4000-6000 range, which I hear is a "sweet spot" for vocal equalization. (I've done a lot of recording in the past, both with computers and with dedicated hardware, of my own piano playing and a bit of other stuff.) Chris Capel -- "What is it like to be a bat?
