Re: Noise Reduction

I wouldn't mind listening to that for a while. Are you going to overdub other instruments?

Re: Noise Reduction

Attached. That better? That's Steve's code and my Noise Reduction 12, 6, 3. I got the profile from the first two seconds of the clip. You should not be doing production in MP3. MP3 creates compression sound distortion and it gets worse every time you use it. Use WAV (Microsoft) for everything until ...

Re: Microphones

The Transom people have a lot of good, simple information on sound recording. http://transom.org/ The recorder is a Tascam DR-40. It has built-in stereo microphones on the top and you can attach your own microphones in the bottom. http://transom.org/2015/podcasting-basics-part-1-voice-recording-gear...

Re: Microphones

headphones with Mic? That's a headset. A matched set of headphones and microphone. That's what brought me up short. In a couple of sentences you described about four different microphones, environments and conditions. The USB or gaming headset is terrific for, well, gaming, Skype and Chat, but they...

Re: Updating OS X 10.6.8 to 10.11

The SSD is just the way to go. Last four machines (3-1/2, the Air isn't here yet) have all had SSD. I took a considerable hit in storage on the first one (128GB), but it was blistering fast, stable, cool and made no noise.

Re: Updating OS X 10.6.8 to 10.11

Macbook (yes, Pro) is getting sluggish & quirky. Have you done any first level maintenance? There are normal things you can try to make sure your machine is running as well as it can. Do you always get the chong when you start? That's the self-testing success tone. If you hold the Option key wh...

Re: Noise Reduction

What kind of noise do you have? Microphone or preamp noise is ffffffffff, rain-in-the-trees sound. That takes careful selection of equipment when you buy it. Computer fan noises, air conditioning noises should be solved before you record. Those are preventable. Traffic noises, street noises, jet goi...
