Re: Who is able to create a simple VST plugin or nq?

I did miss one item in the laundry list. Some people are aggressively not announcers. Does this odd mouth noise thing happen if somebody else speaks into the microphone? I know people with that microphone and they sound just grand. I would wonder if we're trying to cure a broken microphone in softwa...

Re: Cassette tape to laptop hardware?

The closest I could come is the 222 is an "upgrade" of the 202. That's nice. How up is it? Nobody will say and I'm not going to drudge through the pages of specs to find out. The 202 has almost no latency as it is. I used it for sound-on-sound testing on our MultiTrack/Overdubbing tutorial...

Re: How can I remove music to hear voice in a voicemail?

Noise Removal only works with sounds that don't change during the show like air conditioning noises or computer fans. It's useless for music or voices. You join a long list of people wanting us to split a music file apart into individual instruments, voices or sounds. Hasn't worked yet. Sorry, Koz

Re: Who is able to create a simple VST plugin or nq?

has been working with sound for about a week, can easily predict what is usefull signal and what is trash. Exactly correct. You or the software has to know what is valuable human speech and what isn't. If you simply take all the sibilance and ticks out of a human voice, it turns into mud. One of th...

Re: Six channel DVD disc

You may have some shaky assumptions about how Dolby Digital works. It's most efficient when you have a theatrical presentation with the monolog in the center, the car crash on left and right, the explosion in the LFE and birds chirping in the rear channels, but nowhere it is written that you have to...

Re: Bad quality recording

New Windows laptop microphones are intended for voice conferencing, not music. Further many laptops have no provision for plugging your mixer in.

That's a Behringer UCA202.

Audacity with the FFMpeg software should open many M4A and movie files.
