How to Sound Like I'm Using a Talk Box

Music creation software enables you to use VST and DirectX audio plug-ins, which aid in adding external effects. Purchasing a talk box can be expensive--using a talk box plug-in will save you time and money. You have the option of applying the plug-in to previously recorded audio or recording with the plug-in in real time. When using the talk box plug-in with music creation software such as Audacity, Cakewalk or Audition, you must set the talk box parameters.
