RE: (313) OT: Audio cleanup
Failing that, there is the ultimate: DNS or another Cedar product. However, serious results go with serious prices alas.

Re: (313) OT: Audio cleanup
I'd be interested to hear about a multi-band / band specific noise reduction as well. m50 At 10:47 2007/5/25, Thor Teague wrote: List, Apologies for the OT, but I'm getting pretty frustrated and would like some help; I've never had much success on this subject and I'd really like to figure it out.

I've used about 6 or so that I'm not impressed with: SoundSoap, Waves X-Noise, Sony Noise Reduction, and Final Cut Pro's Soundtrack features. They all basically have a "threshold" and an "amount" slider (with varying ways to name them). I can basically lighten up the sound slightly, but I can't really take it out without the voice getting all robotic. I think I need something that allows you to choose different thresholds and amounts for different frequencies. I think.

They have Cedar Tools for Pro Tools for example, and then some hardware gear. I think they had some "intelligent" technology specifically designed to fix field audio problems. http://www.cedaraudio.com/ Algorithmics has some too: http://www.algorithmix.com/en/pro_products.htm Then there's Cube tec for Pro Tools: http://www.cube-tec.com/audiocube/index.html Sony Oxford plugins: http://www.sonyoxford.co.uk/pub/plugins/home.htm TC Electronics has some optional denoise plugins: http://www.tcelectronic.com/Default.asp?Id=4007 -Of course if the recording is very bad quality, there's only so much you can do with it. Final Cut Studio's new Soundtrack Pro 2 had an "audio stamp" thing, that allows you to copy a sound "quality" from a recording, and then paste it to some other recording. However, I don't think that'll fix audio that has very obvious problems.. -Proffit
(313) OT: Audio cleanup
List, Apologies for the OT, but I'm getting pretty frustrated and would like some help; I've never had much success on this subject and I'd really like to figure it out. I need to know a good tool to remove (as best as possible) background noise from some crappy field audio. I've used about 6 or so that I'm not impressed with: SoundSoap, Waves X-Noise, Sony Noise Reduction, and Final Cut Pro's Soundtrack features. They all basically have a "threshold" and an "amount" slider (with varying ways to name them). I can basically lighten up the sound slightly, but I can't really take it out without the voice getting all robotic. I think I need something that allows you to choose different thresholds and amounts for different frequencies. I think. Let me know offlist what you've had success with, or any guideance/advice you might have. Thanks!
