Audacity
Audacity is a free and open-source audio editor. It is great for simple audio edits and applying effects.
Flashback Voice Effect
Audacity can be used to create the flashback voice effect from the original Amnesia game. This effect can be achieved with the following steps:
- Effect > Reverse (This reverses the audio back in time).
- Use a reverb effect of your choice. Make sure to not make it too strong, as it might overwhelm the actual speech.
- Effect > Reverse.
