Obviously you can do that, but the Noise Reduction trick only works on breath sounds exactly like the one you captured in the Profile step. That's why it seems a little scatter-shot in application, or worse, it could only suppress part of a breath. It could also give you "holes" in your di...

unacceptable noise floor and push it down to more palatable levels? Right. After you reduce noise in the more conventional manner, locking up the dog, recording between metro-bus passes, turning off the air conditioner, etc. Does it work by essentially telling you "show me your noise floor&quo...

You can get this problem if you have the wrong audio adapter between your XLR microphone and your soundcard. It's a little rough to explain, but the wiring error produces a normal ...

It is like walking into a blind alley, isn't it? Can you run one of the laptops on batteries and try it again? Still on batteries try it out in the street or meadow. I have a Giant Hummy Monster that lived in the attic. He makes recording in one of the bedrooms impossible because of excessive hum pi...

Export what you have (unless it's not valuable).
