I just launched my Pro Tools and pro audio blog ProToolerBlog in a German edition that can be found at de.protoolerblog.com. It’s a news oriented blog, with the occasional reviews, interviews and more. If you’re interested in recording, mixing, producing, etc., etc. then go check it out.
In the previous post I demonstrated how one can clean up a rather noisy track. While certainly not ideally recorded, it’s definitely not a worst case scenario. Here I have the same original file, followed by a limited, and a limited then denoised again file.
It’s up to you which of these five files you personally prefer.
You might want to turn down your speakers a little for the limited files. They’re loud.
Here’s an example of some really noisy dialog. With it is two versions of it cleaned up. When doing these things one has to be careful not to remove too much of the noise and interfering with the voice itself.
The first file is the original, the second is with some noise removed, and the third is with a little more noise removed. It’s from a video diary where the camera was used to capture the sound as well.
I’m thinking of making a new podcast myself, and while I have the theme of it pretty much figured out, it made me think of other ideas for podcasts as well.

Anyone doing video podcasts here? Or thinking about it? In that case you should check out iMovie. It’s an incredibly easy way to give your video recordings a few basic effects. I tried it for the first time a couple of days ago, editing my video diary from Musikmesse.

When I walked around at Musikmesse in Frankfurt I realized that there were a lot of recording gear aimed at amateur musicians, i.e. interfaces that lets you connect your iPod and has two channels with microphone preamps… Or something along those lines. I often report about these type of interfaces here as well, because I think something like that works well for podcasting. The more I think and write about podcasting however, the more I feel people should just get one of the many USB microphones out there.
