You can kinda sorta get close using EQ, but if you really want to do it right, you’ll need to get into impulse responses.

If you want a really simple, really expensive option with all the bells and whistles, then check out Speakerphone by AudioEase.

If you are on a budget, or prefer the DIY approach, you will first need a convolution reverb plug-in. It will take a recording of an impulse response (which sounds like a starter pistol), and then apply that reverb to the sounds that you wanted to apply to. If you need a free option, Reaper has a plug-in called ReaVerb that is free, and I think they have a version of that plug-in that works with other DAWs as well.

Then you’ll need to search for an impulse response of a radio, and use that.

Optionally, if you really want it to sound like it’s being played in a bar, find another impulse response that gives an impression of the room - what you think the bar should sound like.

You can layer them, so it sounds like it’s being played from a radio, in the environment of a bar. And when done right, it will be absolutely impossible to tell whether was the real thing or simulated through plugins.

My Reaper experience is more to do with dialogue editing than music creation, but I might still be able to help if I understand the problem correctly.

When you say “click”, do you mean a single click, or the beginning of a click track?

Do you want the sound of that click to be included in the recording, or only heard by you while you perform?

Can you ELI5 the conditions where you want the click to start? Like, is there anything unique happening at that point?

Do you have the option of using a midi input device, even something as simple as a single midi button, that could trigger it to start manually?

I think it’s more accurate to say that a brain refusing to bring up a certain memory, is what makes it a repressed memory. “Recovering” a repressed memory can happen as part of trauma therapy, or it might happen by itself years later.

Trauma itself causes incredible changes in the brain, in some very non-intuitive ways. The brain has a number of different strategies for protecting the person, the “self”, from unnecessary suffering, and it doesn’t let go of those defense mechanisms until “it” feels safe to do so.

Honestly, out of all of the ways that the brain can respond to trauma, repressed memories is one of the simplest and easiest things to understand.

The fact that false memories can also be demonstrably created… Well, that muddies the waters a bit, it makes things more complicated to sort through, but it’s entirely reasonable to assume that there is a mechanism for memory repression, and there’s also a mechanism for creating false memories.

Ooohhh! You know what, I learned something new today! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain it in a way that made sense to me.

What I’m saying is those medical device companies just need to upgrade hardware. Not the user.

That is a valid perspective, but it doesn’t take into account the burden on end users. Would you still feel that same way if you were the user, and the “update” required literal surgery on your body - not because the device failed, or expired, but simply because network standards have changed?

Because it’s the cellphone equivalent of creating a pirate radio station, to put it in terms better understood.

Why not use the analogy of a Wi-Fi repeater or extender that can handle multiple Wi-Fi standards simultaneously?

For that matter, it should be rather simple to limit it to only “listen” for connections from known medical devices (though it’s not like there are a bunch of 2G phones running around these days).

I’m listening, but so far, I haven’t seen anything that explains why this would actually be a bad idea, or how it could cause any harm.

…you don’t see the advantage in avoiding open heart surgery to replace an embedded medical device?

While I agree with you in principle, that’s a hard sell to somebody with an embedded 2G medical device.

You don’t want random companies making cell signal transceivers.

Setting “companies” aside, I don’t see why it couldn’t be some sort of DIY project. Like, a small computer with a both a 2G and 5G modem, a set of antennas for each, and some middleware…

In fact, there are some phones that support both networks… So why couldn’t a spare phone be used? They technically already have all the hardware to make it work.

It sounds like there’s a really big market opportunity for somebody to make a portable transceiver that converts 2G and 3G signals into 5G…

Additional info for the lazy: the name of the company is “Gravy Analytics”, hence the name “Gravy Scanner” for this app. It’s a large data broker, and they don’t bother with pesky little details like “informed consent”.

Anyway, they got hacked a month ago, and the hackers threatened to publicly release all the data.

Most likely, that means you’re clean. On mine, the output is just a white screen with a list of the affected apps… Clicking on one of them takes me to that app’s settings.

It does that one thing, with no explanations or instructions, so it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that it doesn’t show a message to indicate that nothing was found.

I’m an audio editor / producer for a family-friendly radio drama program, and we made a story on his life a few years ago. The dude really was awesome, it was one of my favorite stories to work on.

It’s not free to listen to (unless you happen to catch it on the radio when that episode happens to be airing), but you can listen to a 30-second snippet here. (It’s the first story on the album, “From Slave to Hero”.)

I’ve been using Reaper daily for 15 years. If you run into any issues that you can’t figure out, feel free to reach out, I’m happy to answer questions.
