How do i reduce the noice ? You very probably don't. I think we should have called it something else because our "noise" is different from everybody else's. Noise is a constant background drone like an air conditioner or maybe computer fan noise or even low microphone hum. It's not "...

That's Northern California. We don't talk to those people. Koz

Mic-In on sound cards has some interesting marketing problems. Microphone levels are terrifically small compared to sound coming out of your iPod or headphone or other entertainment connections, but Everybody On Earth wants them to be the same so they don't have to put an expensive microphone amplif...

No, no, no. You have to show up at the airport with a radio and your laptop and record your own -- like I did it. OK, so there's also a restaurant right there, but still. Internet downloads all have compression distortion and it's not going to sound the same, although probably good enough for jazz. ...

One of the nice things about XLR cables (see illustration above) is that you can run them very long distances. You can put the mixer and microphones almost anywhere in your house and connect them with increasingly longer XLR cables as needed. You can plug XLR cables into each other to make them long...

By the way, when I did it, I applied Leveler twice with the heaviest compression plus the filters. I have an example, but I stopped using it because I didn't have the background noises and it just sounded silly. Also my boss the pilot pointed out that SoCal Approach was unlikely to send a plane from...

If you listen to the actual air traffic the voice quality varies very widely from near studio quality to taxicab trash. But the transmissions are still AM Radio and they still have all the whistles and interference that AM has. The crushed "carbon button" microphone sound will result from ...

http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyRear.jpg That's a Peavey PV6 sound mixer at around $100. It has 48V phantom power. I use that and an older MacBook Pro to do voice recordings. That will plug straight into your Mac depending on how new it is. Newer Macs do not have external analog recordi...

There is no sound isolation program -- pull the violin out and save it. Sometimes you can remove some sounds if they are in the exact center of a good quality stereo show. That's vocal removal. That's what the link is. Software doesn't "know" what a violin or voice actually is. All it can ...
