My Configuration for Voice Effects in Second Life (Mac OSX)

Seems silly that in a world where you can be a dragon or a chipmonk, that you have to have your own voice! While I would love full sound editing features in the client, I have a found a way to use GarageBand's voice changing effect and direct the result to SecondLife.

1. Download SoundFlower (free) and the SL First View or SL version 1.181.2 (or later)
2. Install SoundFlower and Restart
3. In your OSX System Settings, Configure Sound Preferences:
   • Input: SoundFlower (2 ch)
   • Ouput: SoundFlower (2 ch)
   
   
   
   
4. Configure GarageBand
   • In Preferences... select the microphone you're using for input and SoundFlower for output
     
     
   • Make a new song and add a Real Instrument Track
     
     
   • Select the Vocal Effects you want
   • Monitor On
     
     
     
     
   • Click the earphones and the red dot
     
     
   • In SL, Edit Preferences, Select Voice Chat, the press the Device Seetings. Select SoundFlower for both Audio in and out
     
     
   • Have fun with your new AV's voice!
