Re: Wind noise question
Dave, You could try removing certain frequencies, but the trouble is that the wind noise covers quite a wide frequency band range. Then of course, the sound of your voice will inevitably change as you reduce frequencies. It's a learning curve, and the olympus range are not tollerant of wind noise, even human breath on the nics. A wind shield could save this in future. Regards, JP At 20:19 05/11/2010, you wrote: Ok, I admit to being kind of disheartened at my apparent inability to record decently in hostile environments. The other week I was outdoors on boats and para-sailing with Olympus DM520 happily in hand. Frankly the resulting recordings sound awful because of the wind noise. Is there anything I can do with Goldwave to reduce this without killing the rest of the recording? Is wind low or mid-range? I shouldn't be kicking myself on my birthday but I am; I expect better of me. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Gary Wood Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 11:34 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: A tip to overcome one of the annoying problems with the Zoom H1 Thanks! - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 3:16 AM Subject: Re: A tip to overcome one of the annoying problems with the Zoom H1 I've not experimented much with MP3 files though logic would dictate that the rate of writing would be smaller, the way I look at things regarding the Zoom H1 is that I need not bother with MP3, after all!

Now this tip isn't going to be for everyone as not everyone wears hearing instruments which can be used with induction loops but if you do? Well here's a handy way to use your instruments to great effect when sorting out one of the very few functions of the Zoom H1 which isn't accessible. I'm talking about the Bit and Sample rate of the file you're recording, this is changed in Standby mode by using the fast forward and rewind buttons, rewind takes you back through the cycle whilst fast forward takes you forward through the cycle of bit and sample rates. When recording using Wave Broadcast format you cycle through 44.1KHZ 16 Bit, 48KHZ 24 bit and so on right the way up to 96KHZ 24 and back to 44.1KHZ 16 bit so how to tell where you are. Well turn your instruments to pick up induction loops and put the recorder near them. Now start recording, you'll be able to hear the recorder as it writes to the SD card and the slower the rate of writing then the small the sample size, 44.1KHZ 16 bit has the Zoom H1 writing to the SD card about every half second whilst 96KHZ 24 bit has the H1 writing to the SD card every sixth of a second or so. Just thought others may find this helpful as I do, still haven't worked out a way to set the date and time for date/time stamping of recordings but I have to admit to not trying too hard, after all! one can change all that when the files are copied from the H1 to your computer.

Re: Wind noise question
Hi, Dave and list. What you would need to do in Goldwave is to perform its noise reducing feature which is accomplished in the following steps. 1. Use your start and finish markers to capture a half second of wind noise with no other sound and paste to clipboard with standard windows commands. 2. Goto Effects from the main menu which you can access with alt+C. 3. Type F for filter. 4. Down arrow or type R to select Noise Reduction and hit Enter. 5. in the noise reduction dialogue box check the clipboard noise print. 6. Click OK. Hope this helps.
