Select a representative voice sample

Highlight a short section that includes normal speech, not silence.

Open Bass and Treble

Choose Effect > EQ and Filters > Bass and Treble, then make small changes while using Preview.

Compare before applying

Bypass or undo the effect to ensure speech remains natural before applying it to the full recording.

Verify the result

Compare the processed and original tracks at matched loudness and check intelligibility, breaths, sibilance, noise, clipping, and consistency before export.

Video walkthrough

If it does not work

  • If processing sounds metallic or distorted, undo or bypass effects and adjust one control at a time. Keep the original recording and do not normalize clipped audio as a repair.
