Re: Capturing and using my church's acoustic?

...but if you have the IR files for the church I think it should do that too ... I just checked, Boogex can do that, you just turn off all the amp controls ... Boogex as convolver only.png & load your (church balloon) WAV file in the convolver section. [ The mix knob in the convolver section al...

Re: Audio quality issue

I have an external USB mic and headset system (headset plugs into the mic, not into the Mac) and have both the MAC and the Audacity input and output settings mapped to the external USB device. However, when I playback what I've recorded, it sounds like I am recording from the internal mic... If you...

Re: Proof of a theory that I thought was true anyway...

I had a fancy that a "recording" of nothing would take up the same space as a recording with an active audio track. It does ... You say "nothing" but odds-are there would be some low-level noise, not true flat-line silence. If you generate true flat-line silence there would be a...

Re: Sample Quality

I need a describe how to solve it (for example: how effects will I use, effect options, etc.) If you apply this equalization curve to the bad it will have the same frequency-content as the good, (but it won't remove the sizzle) bad to good equalization.png bad, good, bad EQed to match good (stll ha...

Re: Sure SM7B sounds muddy with sharp sibilance.

... The only thing that works reasonably well is manually editing each S and lowering the volume right down. But that's impractical for a 20 minute voice recording ... How about a 2 pass solution. The whistle in your sibilance is between 6700Hz - 9300Hz ... Only Paul-L can remove whistles.gif Use P...

Re: Capturing and using my church's acoustic?

There is free plugin called Boogex which can apply Impulse Response files ... https://www.voxengo.com/product/boogex/ It's designed to emulate electric-guitar amplifier-cabinets, but if you have the IR files for the church I think it should do that too. (Boogex also has "Old Skool" reverb ...

Re: audiobook harshness after using filters

I first remove the slight background hum using Noise reduction. A 50Hz notch filter is a better tool for that, as it will do less collateral-damage to the speech than NR. ... the results are always a lot harsher than the original and lack warmth ... The nature of human-hearing is that the perceived...
