my friend said it was "Lo-Fi".

the effect when he says in the chorus
"i'm bringing sexy back"

i wanna just confirm if it is in fact a lo-fi effect, and if anyone can recommend me one.

i'm not sure exactly what it is, but why would you want to achieve that effect. Not to dissuade you but...It sounds like complete ***. But that's just me.

sounds like a scoop to the high and lows, with a bit of oerdrive applied to it.

Yep, it is considered to be the Lo-Fi sound. I've used it many times on different samples. It can be emulated as Loki stated by scooping the low and high end out and boosting a narrow Q in the mid. It may be a touch of overdrive but odds are just over boosting the EQ on the mid will give it that ugly *** sound.

And coolo, you are so right, it sounds like crap on that tune. I can think of a dozen different things he could have done to get that part set apart.
