Bleeding or badground noise new

#1005121 - 24/08/12 12:06 AM

Anyone know of any links I can go to or any solutions to getting rid of bleeding and or any background noise on vocals? I know about strip silence but I still hear the noise while the vocals are playing if that makes any sense!!! Thanks for any help in advance.

There's no magic solution other than the obvious - don't record it in the first place! Use closed-back headphones while recording, and don't have them too loud. Background noise - well, go somewhere quieter!

Don't fix it - record it right in the first place!

There are various programs that can reduce background noise if you have a sample of the noise on its own (like Adobe Audition or Izotope's RX). The hard part is reducing the noise while keeping a reasonable sounding vocal as many of these programs can add a slight underwater burbly sound.

And, if (as so often) the noise is an electrical square-wave buzz, you don't stand a chance. Single-frequency (plus maybe one harmonic) hum is a possibility to remove. But, these days, it's more likely to be digital buzz.

Tell us more? Is this one particular irreplacable track? Or are you trying to work out a strategy for recording in a bad environment?
