A lot of this stuff you can do yourself and it's just a matter of knowing what to listen for. Open up that "...London" clip you posted and listen carefully to the first two seconds. Maybe pump your volume up a little. There are at least two clicks or clunks in that portion. That's my objec...

amazing

But true. US power is 60Hz and noise errors tend to huddle around 60Hz and multiples of 60. Europe has 50 Hz power.

I got the clip to pass with minimal fuss. Screen Shot 2016-09-04 at 11.25.10.png — Effect > Equalization: LF-Rolloff, Length around 5000. — Effect > Normalize to -3.5, Remove DC. — Sample Noise Reduction in the first 8/10 of a second (before the shuffling chair sound). Apply correction 9, 6, 6. — Ef...

could you speak in a way that sounds "intimate" without being constantly asked to speak up? What he said. You're not a Ball of Fire Presenter are you? That's going to be a problem with home style microphones. They're designed for presenters with much more delivery force. On first analysis...

You violated one of the clip rules. The first two seconds is to be pure room noise and nothing else. Yours has shuffling papers or maybe chair moving noises, I can't tell. The analysis tools and Noise Reduction both need "Room Tone" and it has the be the room only. Freeze and hold your bre...

(sorry for the wrongly formatted post, I'm new at this)

Just don't post in all upper case letters. We come after you with sticks if you do that.

would heavy trucks be helped by Steve's LFRolloff filter? You can see it working. Screen Shot 2016-09-03 at 17.11.22.png Steve's Rolloff changes with the "Length" setting. The actual activity is the thin green line, not the heavier blue one. The green line "tightens up" with hig...

One of the Producers tried to record in an anecoic chamber and had to add hard panels to avoid the "blackness of space" sound.

One of the things fuzzy pads does is give you freedom to record anywhere without paying attention.

A studio I once had access to had minimal actual soundproofing (think I remember industrial carpeting) but was intentionally designed with no parallel walls. Even the ceiling was tilted. It worked remarkably well and I sent several good recordings through there. But it wasn't portable... One further...
