Cepstral Voice Effects

@Steve G Steve, I carried out your tutorial to change the voice effect in Cepstral, and it works GREAT! Before I found your tutorial I had contacted Cepstral, to see if I could change the voice effect to another device, and said it could not be done. Thanks for the tutorial posting. Much appreciated, Cheers, Chris.

I see there is a camera coordinate X and Y in the variable list....
