Guitar tremolo effect
The document discusses experiments with a guitar/tremolo audio effect. Changing the frequency dial from 6.0 to 51.0 made the recording sound crackly and unclear. Increasing the amount from 3.0 to 6.0 made the recording louder. Adjusting the stereo separation from 0.1 to 0.45 slowed down the recording. The author believes this effect could be useful for clearer recordings once they learn to better control the dials.
Rea gate (cockos) effect
The document describes adjusting settings on a ReaGate audio effect plugin in a digital audio workstation. The author changed the pre-open, attack, and hold dials from their default settings of 0ms. While adjusting individual dials did not affect the recording, changing all three dials degraded the recording quality, making it jumpy and quieter as if the signal was bad or hadn't buffered properly. Based on this, the author determined they would not use this effect in future recordings due to how much it worsened the sound quality.
Rea verbrate (cockos) effect
The document describes adjustments made to an audio effect called ReaVerbrate. Increasing the wet dial removed background noise and the dry dial added echo, both improving the recording. However, lowering the dampening dial made the recording sound flat and dull, ruining the overall effect. While the effect could be useful with the right settings, the dampening dial should be avoided.
Toilets old skool verb improved work
This recording was changed using an "Old Skool Verb" effect which made the recording louder and clearer, greatly improving it. While struggling with the dials, the effect still made the recording better. Once the dials are used properly, this effect would be used again on future recordings.
Library voxengo effect improved work
The author applied the Voxengo Boogex effect to a recording but it made the speech unintelligible, replacing it with buzzing noises throughout. Despite adjusting the dials, the effect only made the recording worse rather than better as intended. The author found the effect too difficult to use and would not use it again for future recordings.

Toilets dub delay improved work
This recording was changed using a Dub Delay effect which made the audio crackly and unclear, with lots of feedback that sounds horrible through headphones. The summarizer concludes the recording is terrible due to the Dub Delay ruining the audio and being complicated to use properly.
Library rythmus improved work
This recording was changed using the Rythmus effect, which made the recording play quicker and at a higher pitch, improving a normal recording by adding humor. The effect improved the overall sound and was easy to use, allowing manipulation of the recording with little difficulty.
