Audio filter to eliminate "tunnel" sound?

Hey guys,
I'm pretty unfamiliar with the sound effects in FCP 6.0.4
What sound effect filter would I need to use to remove that "seems like it was recorded in a tunnel" from my voice overs?
Thanks in advance!

Without hearing the problem it's nearly impossible to make a suggestion... as there is no "tunnel sound remover" that I know of.
But it seems as though you want to remove ambient artifacts and that's nearly impossible.
If you post a clip you may get more suggestions.
Good luck,
g

Audio Filter to Eliminate hiss ?

Is there any Audio Filter that will help eliminate hiss I picked up from very load air-conditioning units , during an interview ??
G4 Dual 1gig Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Go over to proapptips.com and look for Dave Slater's way to tune out unwanted frequencies. It's pretty cool, right inside FCP.
Another, probably the best, filter is a good audio engineer on the set.

What's the best audio filter and settings to eliminate echo?

I shot an interview in a hallway. What's the best audio filter and settings to reduce/eliminate echo?

There isn't one. You will be trying to remove the same frequencies as those you want to keep.
Reshoot it, strategically position some heavy drapes and use close miking such as a lav and reliable monitoring quality headphones.

Audio Filter that make your files sound better

I have recorded all of my audio files with a shotgun mic and they sound pretty good I just wanted to see if there was any icing on the cake filter that you can think of to give it more of a rich sound.

There is nothing wrong with learning and we all have this fact in common; once we were all newbies and had to learn. I wish I would have had these resources when I was a kid but all I had was a Kodak Instamatic and and super8 movie camera. Pretty lucky then!
But, looking at your body of posts, you expect people in a virtual space to know what you're doing, what your video looks like and how it sounds. We don't even know how your rig is configured or what you're using for equipment so how is anyone supposed to answer such ambiguous questions on subjects of rank subjectivity for you?
There is huge merit is figuring stuff out for yourself as this way leads to better learning than having someone just point out the way. Everyone needs help occasionally -- or frequently in my case -- so when you do, come and ask with specifics in mind. Join Lynda.com for a month, it's cheap at $25.00 and then bookmark and devour everything in kenstone.net, provideocoaltion, adam wilt's website and I'll guarantee you'll learn more than running in here and asking constant generalities. It's my biggest problem with this forum and others; everyone thinks there's a magic filter/plugin, no one wants to figure out anything for themselves and because FCP and Macs are cheap, all this should be easy. Well, whatever.
So, A., learn up cause I don't understand audio to save my life and when I need help with audio compressor settings, after I've read the manual and Jon Chappell's great audio filter articles and experimented on my own and researched the forums, I'm asking you for help.

Which audio filter to remove low rumbling sound

Can someone tell me which audio filter is most effective in removing air conditioning rumbling sound from video? I searched older posts but can't find the answer, and I'm not experienced in audio filters. Thanks in advance!

I recommend using the noise reduction tools in SoundTrack Pro. Or, if you want to stay in FCP, use an EQ filter and/or a high pass filter.

Audio Filter missing: Internal Volume Stereo - corrupt project?

Hi,
I am getting this error when I open my project. In addition, no media will play in the project either in the sequence window or the source window.
It all appears and will scrub (with no audio), but will not play.
I dug around a bit and I found that there is a known bug with audio from XML's and that is what I am using (convinced my client to migrate from FCP to Premiere - please don't tell me I made a mistake).
Everything worked brilliantly for a week, including the addition of audio filters, and then all of a sudden - bang. No more.
I have painstakingly deleted every audio filter and I am still getting this error. I have also tried a re-install.
Another oddity is that when I try to quit Premiere, it will not quit all the way without a force quit!
I'm running CC 2014 on a brand new mac pro.
Desperate,
dw

Steve and Bill,
I follow your advice, but it did not solve the problem. It is true that problems began when I used ZOOM recorder at 98kHz/24 bit in my current project (I already changed ZOOM mode to 48kHz/16 bit), but could this be just a coincidence?
In the meantime I checked the rest of my 16 projects (.prel), which were fine before. To my surprise I found that although all of them were made using EXACTLY the same method, some of them are still OK, but most I can not Playback. The messages appearing are of three types:
1. "Audio Filter missing: Internal Balance".
2. "Audio Filter missing: Internal Volume Stereo".
3. "This type of file is not supported or required codec is not installed".
In one case, when I opened a project the first time, the message was "This type of file is not supported or required codec is not installed", but when I opened it second time it said " Audio Filter missing:Internal Volume Stereo". It seems to be random.
Some projects can be opened, but when I try to Playback there is no sound.
I am completly lost. Please help.

Premiere Audio Filter Issues

So I've finished my project, applied audio filters (Denoiser) to get rid of the hissing sound. Worked flawlessly. Sounds great in my project, but once exported the hissing returns at the begining of each new audio clip. The sound gets perfect again after a second or two but reverts to the pre-filter sound each time a new clip comes in.
So is there a fade in-out for the audio filter? I can't find one (and why would one want one). Doesn't matter how I export, to any file type, always the same, brief original audio which gently fades back to the perfect-filtered audio.
Again, sounds perfect all the way through in my project, but not after rendering. Any ideas?

This is a known issue with certain audio filters in PP. The recommended solution is to process those audio files in Audition instead.
And do file a bug report.

LIVE VOCALS HAVE TUNNEL SOUND: SOUNDS FINE ON PLAYBACK

I use a powerbook G4 1.5 with my motu 828 to record with logic 7. No problems recording whatsoever. My problem is sometimes I like to jam live and sing into my system to figure something out. I will play to a sound loop or drum file. The drum file will play out through logic and out to a samson power amp and to my speakers. Sounds good. I want to be able to sing live to it while I play my guitar. Yes I can already do to this but I get a kind of doubling sound or a tunnel kind of sound. This is because I am on record mode. Of course when I play the vocals back they sound fine and thats all that matters and of course I use my headphone while I'm recording. But really I want to just logic sometimes as a tool to play live with. My vocals do not sound correct. I know this is because I am in record mode. Is there a way to play through Logic and bypass the tunnel sound?
I run my mic through my motu 828 and then into the computer. The out is connected to the monitor outs which go to my samson servo 240 and then to my EV speakers.
Again is there something in logic I can change to avoid this tunnel sound while in record mode. Or is there a way to get the vocals to come through without hitting the record button?
Thanks for any advise any of you can give me.

Sounds like you might need to disable Software Monitoring.
Go to: Audio>Audio Hardware and Drivers>General>Enable Software Monitoring.
Make sure you uncheck that box. This will disable Software Monitoring.
Of course, if you don't have any external monitoring, then you won't be able to hear what you're recording live.
If you don't have any external hardware monitoring and need to use the Software Monitoring, try lowering your buffer settings until you find the "sweet spot" of no audio clicks/pops, but better latency.
Buffer settings can be accessed here:
Audio>Audio Hardware and Drivers>Buffer Settings
Hope this helps.

Audio filter: flat

Hi:
Is there a good audio filter in FCP that can help reduce the echo effect of a
church? It's hard to understand the speaker because of the magnificent echo
created by the sanctuary. I'd just like to be able to reduce that a bit.
Any thoughts?
Schuney

Hi, this is an age old problem that I'm afraid your stuck with. Many people believe that audio problems are solvable in post production but if you have recorded it then your stuck with it. Usually only buzzes and hums are removable and not always successfully.
I suggest you try experimenting with filters and see if you can improve the sound quality. EQ maybe, but even try a harsh compressor, you never know. There are some noise filters that sample the background noise and then remove it but they tend to make the person sound like they have a speech impediment.
The only real way to solve the problem would have been to get the mic very close to the speaker but in an echoey church even that may not be the answer.
Sorry there is no straight forward answer to your problem.

Audio filter(s)/adjustments to deepen voice...?

What audio filter(s) - and what adjustments- would be recommended to deepen someone's voice? Can't seem to find here or in Soundtrack discussions...
Thanks!

Well... microphone technique is the first place to start, but if a person sounds like Shirley Temple, it's pretty hard to get Orson Welles out of it.
you might try a harmonizer, which drops pitch without changing speed.

Best audio filter for heavy wind noise ?

Hello everyone
I'd like to know what is the most used audio filter in order to recuce a heavy wind noise without affecting the voices of a conversation in my movie ?
Thanks

I don't know what people use, but I've always been told that the best way to get good audio is to get it right the first time. Since I'm no sound guy, I struggle to get anything to sound good.
Export your offending Audio to .aiff and pull it into SoundTrack. Go to your Effects on the middle left of your screen and pick SoundTrack Pro>Channel EQ. Drag this into the area under your Effects bin. Then start playing your sound while adjusting the Advanced Dialog.
You can tweak different frequencies and try to pull out the wind. However, wind often is around the same range as voices, so it's going to cause some distortion.
Beyond this, if the wind was really bad it will have caused "popping" that will have mutilated any talking at that moment.
Can you do any looping/re-record the voices? That may be your best bet.
I'm hoping some sound guy comes here and sets me straight and helps you out. Perhaps check the SoundTrack forums....
I'm sorry I'm not more help.

Popping/ crackling filter to make film sound like 20s film

Is there a built in filter in FCPro HD that will allow the audio to have the old sounding "pops and crackles" that you hear in older movies.
Also, is there a video filter that will give me the effect of lines and artficats in the film itself that you see like when you go to an old movie theatre and little black shapes appear on the screen from time to time.
THanx!

If you export to a QuickTime Movie, there's some filters you can apply during that process ... like hair, scratch and dust (I think) ... and they're included free in QTPro.
Other than that, the best film effects package I've seen and used is from www.nattress.com
As for the sound, I've heard pops and crackling on old LP recordings, but not on old films. Perhaps you could sample some of the scratch and pop noises from an old album and build your own 'noise' track.

Major delay in audio for notifications causing no sound.

Major delay in audio for notifications causing no sound. Email text and app notification sounds are so quick thT with the new ios4 update there is now a delay in audio to the Bluetooth so I don't know when I get one. Phone ringer works fine and so does iPod and games. Anyway to fix this? I've tried resetting phone, turning device on befor phone and turning off Bluetooth and back on. Nothing seems to work to kill this delay in audio. Help!
Ails and texted

This also happens to me. I believe that since notification audio is now pushed to any A2DP-enabled bluetooth headset, and because of the fact that notification sounds are very short, most of the time the sounds fail to transfer to the headset, since the connection initialization takes a couple of seconds, way more than the duration of the sounds themselves.
This could only be dealt with if Apple would include a submenu to each paired bluetooth device that would allow the user to set WHICH kind of audio would go through the headset.

External Usb Audio Card Popping and Cracking sound with Satellite L500

Greetings,
My name is Boyan and I am from Bulgaria and about an year ago I've bought a satellite laptop from the l500 series ( i can not state which exactly is the model at the moment because my computer is not currently with me and on my user manual the only thing which is stated is that it is for L500/L505/ L500D / L505D . But by memory I think it was the Satellite L500D-ST5506 which is currently not at my dispossal because I gave it for repair for the same problem which I will state down below)
The problem with my laptop is that when I plug a Usb Audio card in my laptop I have a cracking sound when live sound is played trough the speakers/headphones from the external card. I've tried numerous audio cards and speakers/headpohnes which work perfectly fine with other computer, including laptops but the same problem keeps on showing up in the headphones/speakers of my laptop when I am using an external audio card to connect them to the laptop.
The problem is prominent only when the sound signal passes trough an external audio card and it is very annyoing since I use my laptop to create music and i've bought an expenssive audio card and speakers which can not be used with the laptop. I've tried 3 models of audio cards:
M-Audio Fast Track Pro
Behringer uca 222
and a simple external 3d sound usb audio card and the problem still appears.
At first I thought that the problem should be software and I should install new drivers although windows 7 automaticaly recognizes and intalls the drivers for the devices and I have sound in them (but with cracks and popps) so i tried using the official drivers sold to me with the audio cards but with no luck: The problem was still there. I tried finding new drivers of the audio cards on the official distributors websited and i've downloaded them but the problem was still there. Then i tried to delete every audio driver on my computer and just use the external audio card for sound but this dint help eighter. I've updated my drivers for my build-in audio card as well but again - no luck.
After that.the frist thing I did when (2 weeks after i bought the laptop) was to contact the store from which i bought my audio card and they stated that the problem may be eighter latency or high voltage from the laptop so they adviced me to try to lower the latency from the settings or to try and see if the problem remains if my laptop is only running on battery. I've tried both things and they didn't help. The audio cards worked without a problem on every other computer I've tried them on except mine. So they said to me that the problem couldnt possibly be from the audio cards .
What I did next was I gave my laptop to the official distributor of toshiba in my country so they can fix my problem. What they said to me was that the problem is caused from the version of windows which was pre-installed on my laptop and that it wasnt compitable with the audio cards (which was bizzar sounding because I've tried them on the same windows and they've worked, just on other computers). So I got back my laptop and changed my operating sistem from Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64bit to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 32bit and on all of those versions the problem was there: whenever I activate a Usb Audio Card and audio signal passes trough it I heard cracks and popps. I even tried isntalling Windows XP but the laptop wants spesific SATA drivers for the installation of Windows XP which although i did find - they didnt help me install XP and I didn't want to go in to the BIOS of the computer to try to put a new one and so on because I am not so sure about that and I could lose my warranty so I said to the official repair store for Toshiba in my town to put XP on my computer to fix the problem but they can't because they are not liscened to operate with software which doesn't have a recipt for its purchase ( which i didnt because i bought my windows xp long ago and i've lost the recipt)
I gave it for repair for the second time telling them that the change of my operating system did not solve my problem and what they did was they changed the whole motherboard on my computer, stating that the build in realtek audio device on my computer is not good enough to support an usb audio card or it maybe broken and they have to change the whole motherboard because the build in card is glued to it, so they did that but my problem wasn't solved. They told me that although I am using and external usb audio card the signal still passes trough my internal one and I have to disable it so i tried disabling it trough the control panel but this did not solve the problem and i do not have an option from BIOS to disable my build-in audio card. Another thing which I thought maybe causing the problem is that the two audio cards aren't working on the same bit rate and Hertz so I set both cards to 16 bit 48000hz DVD Quality (Also tried other options on the 3 cards i have) but...the same thing happend.
They told me that this is just my luck and that the build in audio card doesn't support this external audio cards and I should had been more careful when choosing my laptop at first.
I couldn't accept this awnser for several reasons:
1) This audio cards work on lower version of windows and are supported by much older models of Realtek and much older computers (one of them was bought 2000!!!!! and my laptop is from 2010!!)
2) The guys who were fixing the problem apperantley didn't go in so deep in to my problem because they didn't know what actually the problem was they just knew that there is a problem with the audio card and the computer interacting with eachother, they didnt know that there is cracking during live play from the external audio card.
3) I can not accept the fact that Toshiba is manufacturing models with chipset audio cards which can not support a simple external Usb Audio Card. This is totally unacceptable for me and I truly hope this is not the case!
4)They didn't try my audiocards on an other laptop from the same series stating that they do not have one at their dispossal at the moment so I will go tomorrow to a local store and try the audio cards by my self on the same computer in the store.
What I did now was I gave back my laptop for repair asking for a statement of the problem in wrtting with all details of the problem so I can go to court or ask for a new laptop but I will be charged with some money because according to them there is no problem in the laptop and the problem is that my external audio cards arent compitable with the build in internal chipset audio card. If I give my laptop for repair and there is no hardware problem I will have to pay some money. I will do this but I am now mad, since this will not solve my problem and I am loosing time and money.
What I am asking here is, if you can not help me solve my problem and advice me what to do to fix it, please provide me the details of the chipset build in audiocard on my motherboard, so i can investigate if it is compitable with my external audio cards and contact the audio card dealers to ask them for their opinion. Or if you can tell me with what it is compitable with and with what not, it would be great. I personally think that this laptop should have no problems at all with running a simple external usb audio card but I am asking you, if you know something more about that.
If the problem is from the build in chipset then Toshiba is manufacturing (or at least selling) audiocards which aren't at a normal standart but sadly I cant do nothing about it except complain to Toshiba and never deal whith such productgs anymore. In the other case if this is not true, then my laptop has a problem which is different and I will have to go to court with the repair mans for not fixing my laptop or not giving a new one when I have warranty which will not be Toshiba's fault and It will in a way solve my problem.
I hope you understand how Important this is for me and I hope I resolve the problem as soon as possible.
P.S
I would like to state that I am well aware of the grammar mistakes I have made in the text below and I would like to ask for your apologies as I am not a native English language speaker.

hi i just like to say i had a similar fault though i would be surprised if it causing yours,but you never know,my fault was my laptop lid, [9 months old] it contains the mic ,and when the lid was in a certain angle crackles could be heard worse when i had my external sound card in, it was a faulty membrane [ lid to body] easily missed by engineer because it was the same angle all the time it happened,good luck, PS you English is very good
