Specific questions about noise removal (in Audacity)
« on: September 29, 2010, 12:04:29 PM »
Well, though many here say things like "the M10 knob is really stiff, it definitely won't move without you really working hard to move it".... they shouldn't.

Checked levels/time during encore break... and knob got turned down significantly when I slipped the deck back in my pocket. 

I had a signal, so I can boost in post, but when I do so, unsurprisingly, there is a ton of unwanted preamp noise.

I know how, in Audacity, to use "Noise Removal" but I'm having a little difficulty getting it not have a weird artifact-y sound when I use it.  I notice there is a selector called "Frequency Smoothing" that is pre-set to 100Hz.  What does this mean? 

The show in question is a pretty loud rock show, so the only parts that are affected are a vox and acoustic-only lead-in to a song.  Anyone know how I can perhaps use this "Frequency Smoothing" to avoid causing weird artifacts in the vox/guitar.

More annoying is that this band allows taping and I was only  >:D because I showed up 2hrs after doors... only to find that there was plenty of room to have set up in my usual spot... grrrr....

That feature has been improved (presumably) in the most recent versions...

I suspect few have used the newer version yet.

play with it...those sliders are new.

I'd start by changing the default reduction to something a little less aggressive than 24db...

Start at 10 and see how it goes...
