murasame_ Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Hey guys, hope you can help me: I've recorded an interview yesterday and there's a constant, very annoying, hiss in the background. My question is, how can I get rid of it on my PC? Which programs will do that for me? I'd be grateful for every help you can give to me, thank you.

Christopher Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 I've got the same problem, except it's when I try to do an Analog recording with my MZ-R700DPC. I use a Stereo male-to-male cable that's hooked into my Creative SoundBlaster Pro 5.1 soundcard. I wish I could find my Xitel, but does anyone know what I can do until I buy another? (sorry to do this in your discussion, murasame) The cable is probably shot, but I can try to describe the noise. It's low static and seems to kinda go away when the song I'm trying to record is playing. During quiet parts of a song, it is noticeable (and very annoying). As a result, I've pretty much quit recording new Minidiscs. *shrug* k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystyler Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 It's probably the microphone in's preamp that caused your hiss... Anyway, Cool Edit 2000 should be what you're after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murasame_ Posted March 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 I'm using Wavelab, and I've read something about Auto Gate or Noise Gate, but I don't find this option IN Wavelab... where can I download plug-ins? (downloading cool edit free version right now, thank you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 I used to use CoolEdit to do noise reduction for videos. It's freeware (at least the 96 version is) It's old but it can do up to 48 kHz 16 bit stereo sound (CD quality I think) one track so it might be good enough.

Guest Anonymous Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 sorry 48kHz is DAT quality, 44.1 kHz is CD quality so it should be good enough (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murasame_ Posted April 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Hey guys. I used WaveLab for noise reduction and it worked GREAT. Tried CoolEdit, too, but the results were worse, it sounded more 'artificial'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
