Title: Reducing audience chatter in post
Post by: waltmon on April 19, 2017, 10:37:48 AM

With a solid recording - is it possible to reduce audible chatter in post? Got a solid recording of Bob Weir last evening...would be nice to reduce the chatter a bit if possible.



Thanks

Manual spectral repair work. I've found Izotope RX to be the best at it. But you'll have to manually identify the offending frequencies, there's no plug-in for "less crowd"

We've got a "Watson" computer, but no plug-in for "less-crowd".

I thought this generation of programmers was supposed to be near-genius......ho hum for now I guess.. :bigsmile:

It just seems it would make sense that if you could remove the vocals from a wav the offending frequencies could be removed or at least de-emphasized a bit.

How do you train a computer to just take out vocals and not music? Or certain crowd noise?

Karaoke mixes and such are created by the spatial/phase relationship, and how vocals are generally panned to the center. Audience recordings from concerts won't have such a clean and perfect spatial mix.
