Editing Mouth Noise and Braille Display Clicks

Hello everyone. I wonder if anybody can please advise. I currently record using a broadcasting encoder and edit my content using GoldWave. However, I'm having significant issues with the presence of mouth clicks and the constant sounds of my Braille display as I move from line to line (or as the

You could try Sound Forge and with the Jaws scripts you can use the EQ, shift and pitch sliders Etc. If you have some vision, Adobe Audition is very good also if it's still available. Both these programs cost around $300 to $400 each. Also look at the type of mike your using. Jamie -Orig

Greetings, Danny, I do not find the GoldWave functions either too aggressive or weak, true, I don't have braille display clicks but mouth noises? yes. I can remove mouth noises from infront of a word by setting the zoom ratio ad 0.002300 and I assume you have the scrub feature enabled? I can't

Hi Jamie. Thanks for your message. I'm using a Shure SM58, which I understand to be one of the most commonly-used all-purpose vocal mics. I plug my mic into a mixer rather than using a USB mic ... do you have any better suggestions? I do use a pop shield, so I don't have issues with plosives, b

Hi Tina. Thanks very much for this info. Do you feel that SF is better than GW or are they pretty comparable? Anybody else's thoughts on this would also be appreciated. Of course buying SF would be a considerable outlay, but it is in the cause of professional work, so I guess it depends whether

Hi Tim. Thanks for your feedback. I know what you're talking about but, as I've always used the SM58 due to its strong capacity to pick things up when presenting radio shows or recording documentaries out in the field, I haven't looked at different types of mic. Now that I'm working on audio nar

Hi Tina. I regularly do radio show presentation and the Braille display often comes out on that (which obviously can't be edited if live). That's why I often use Sam encoders for recording content ... I'm used to using them when broadcasting. However, when presenting, I'm not overly aware of mou

Hi. I have done voice-over work as well and I am a Goldwave user. I am a former Sound Forge user but SF had too many bells and whistles for me. I do all of my editing (and other folks as well) with Goldwave. I used SF a long time ago (before they got bought by Soni) and I saw more and more access

Hi Danny, Regarding the braille display noise, have you looked at placing some sort of barrier between the mic and the display, adjusting the angle of the mic or moving the display as far from the mic as practical. I have found that trying to filter out unwanted noise with a program such as Sou

Hi Brett. Long time no speak - how are you? Yes, I agree with you on the issue of over-editing. I very rarely edit out breathing sounds, unless there's a particularly obvious catch in it, but I've rarely heard the little sounds of a moist mouth on other recordings so assume that it's more import

Hi Barry. Thanks for your thoughts. I have my master mic volume on my mixer quite low in order to reduce room hiss/ambience, so that means my mic and display end up quite close together. I've briefly tried putting material underneath the display but this didn't seem to work (possibly because the
