What are audio effects?

Think about when you're in your car and adjust the sound to your speakers. You might add more bass or treble to make it sound perfect. The same can be done with audio effects, bringing out your podcast or radio-sounding voice. But the fun doesn't stop there. You can also remove unwanted background noise, such as a fan or keyboard clicks, to always sound great or like you are broadcasting over the wasteland of Fallout.

Audio effects to get you started

Noise Removal

Silence background audio with a single toggle. Enhanced by AI technology, this effect filters out distracting noise like fans, air conditioners, and PC hum. It’s ultralightweight, works with almost any CPU, and requires no special GPU hardware. Your voice sounds crystal clear—no matter your environment.

Pip-Boy Voice FX

Introducing Pip-Boy Voice FX, the ultimate voice modifier VST designed to immerse users in the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout. Seamlessly integrated into our Wave Link software, Pip-Boy Voice FX transforms your voice with a range of unique effects, all inspired by the iconic Pip-Boy device from the Fallout universe.

Equalize

EQ made easy. With Equalizer, tune your microphone to fit your unique voice. Ditch the confusing numbers, knobs, and sliders of traditional EQs. Now, customize your highs and lows with ease in Wave Link — without ever sacrificing power. Whether you’re a beginner or pro, the Elgato EQ is the ultimate audio companion for streaming, podcasting, recording, and more.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been handling audio for a while but want an easier way to perfect it, presets help you get that studio-quality sound without all the fuss. Just choose a preset, and it instantly adjusts your tone and clarity, so your recordings and broadcasts sound incredible right away.
