Here's another try. There's a touch of processing effect in a few places, but there's no way to raise the volume so high without being a bit heavy on the noise reduction. A had to suppress a few high peaks to get the range you wanted. Hope this is w…
The range I mean here is the difference between your loudest parts and your softest parts. If you normally speak at at a level of, say -3dB, but have a whispered line maxes at -15dB (or even lower!) it might not be audible in all environments. Some…
What effect would decreasing my dynamic range have exactly? (God, I sound like a total newbie!)
I'm hopefully getting logic express tomorrow, which will help a bit, I think!
Thanks for the file!
Hey Chris,
I simply raised the original file by 3dB and then ran the filter. Any more boost and I would've started clipping your peaks. Is this what you were looking for, or are you wanting to decrease your dynamic range?
If there's a heaven for podiobooks members, you've got a place!
I hate levelator, too. Nasty levelator.
Thanks. I look forward to the volume raised file!
Chris
Tried to reply to your mail, Chris, but the send button seemed to do nothing. Either that, or I've spammed you. In any case, here's my message in reply to yours:
Hi Chris, I can raise the levels 1st and redo the filter, and see how it sounds. For t…
Thanks ever so much for this, Bryan. Its amazing the difference the dynamic filter pass makes.
I may well use yousendit, or upload them to my site and send you the links. I'll do so tomorrow.
Thanks again, and if there's anything I can do in retur…
Hi Chris,
Here's the file with the dynamic filter pass. You'll notice the noise is there in the beginning and then fades out over the 1st 5 seconds or so as the filter figures out the noise profile. Ideally, if the file started with 5 seconds of si…
I took a look at the original file and I had applied a filter to it, in order to try and eradicate the background noise, so I've uploaded the mp3 without any filters here.
I appreciate you taking the time to look at this for me. However, there are…
So I had a listen. What you sent me is (hopefully) not the true original recording. It appears to be noise filtered and maybe band filtered (low pass?). The first filter is the reason it sounds noisy behind the voice parts and silent outside of them…
I use Adobe Audition. Cost is in the $350-400 range, but I'm gearing up to do full cast audio drama so Audacity, while great, wasn't enough for me. I'll take a closer look tonight and post again.
Thanks for the offer, Bryan. That's very kind of you. What file format do you want it in? Will mp3 do? If so, here is the file.
What software do you use, by the way? I'm using garageband.
If you can link the original voice recording, I could see if I can clean it up for you. No promises, but I've been amazed at what my dynamic filters can do.
