Help with audio

[DBoz699]

Hey,

I have an audio recording from a system I set up in a car to record dialog. But I had to plug in a power inverter to the car to power up the mixer and laptop to record to. I played back the clip and I hear a buzz in my audio I can't seem to get rid of in Sound Forge 8.0. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the power inverter because whenever I plugged in my MP3 player to charge while listening in the car..I heard the same buzz.


Can anyone help me get rid of this annoying buzz? I'm not that good when it comes to audio..

Try doing this is soundforge.

use the wave hammer as a limiter.....and shut off the compression.....limit at -4db gain reduction and see if that helps.

That cleaned it fairly well when they weren't talking. When they talk though, there's not much you can do about it. Maybe eq some of the high end off, but that may bite into their voices a little.

Use the noise reduction plug-in then try masking it with some interior car sounds like road/engine noise or a radio.

Which noise reduction plugin did you use?

Sony's in Soundforge 9. It does a pretty nice job.

A very nice job. I don't have that version of Sound Forge. I use the X-Pack plugins. Yours seem to do better.

May have to look into Sound Forge 9.


Thanks chief.

The more you do, the more you will learn. The one I put up is not mastered, it would still need some Track Compression to even out the volume and maybe even some specific voice Compression.

Correction, it's a separate plug-in. I bought it a while ago and it was already in my plug-ins folder. So, it works in older versions of Soundforge and in Vegas as well.
