Re: Noise Floor

I hope I'm allowed to post this, It generally gets our attention when someone is blatantly trying to sell us something (as recently happened on the forum). Sample clips are perfectly fair game. Plus, if a forum elf tells you to post it, you're covered. That's hard for me to monitor when I'm doing s...

Re: Noise Floor

There's actually a piece of this I left out. I usually include a picture of what the "curve" looks like so you know you're close. Attached what Audacity Effect > Equalization looks like when you apply AbegaleFlorist.xml. You may need to scan around and change the browser size a bit to see ...

Re: Removing background music from driver level

left and right are reduced by a mere 6 dB. I was admiring the flowers and clouds and semi-thinking about this. 6dB is a piffle compared to the full range of sounds and production, but it is half. Half the voltage in the presentation signal just vanished. Could you not use that as the cue for furthe...

Re: Removing background music from driver level

My "Vocal Reduction and Isolation" tool.... It's not simple cancellation any more. The tool has to start knowing content such as where is the sound coming from, how far from stereo middle it is, etc. and then make intelligent decisions, build sound envelopes, based on the results. Impress...

Re: Noise Floor

Attached AbegaleFlorist.xml. This is a way to add equalizer (tone controls) to specific parts of the sound. Download and put it on your desktop or somewhere you know where it is. Import or open the raw sound clip. Do the Normalize thing. -- Select the whole clip or show by clicking just above MUTE. ...

Re: Noise Floor

my mic is a bit treble-y Crisp, yes. If you do that too much you fall over into "harsh." sounds as though I can safely ignore that value. You have to pay attention to all of them, but yes, you do seem to have a quiet microphone and recording environment. This just kills newbies. Nobody ca...
