Audio noise, which filter and how to...

Greetings.
I've got a project that I'm pretty happy with and now I'm ready to tweek the sound. The audio was a recording of an interview using the internal mike on a Canon Optura 50.
I know, not exactly high end, but that is what I had. The wireless lav flaked out.
Needless to say the audio could use some sort of clean up. There seems to be a constant and consistant sound throughout the interview in the audio. It is either the sound of the camera itself, the room we were in, or a combination of both.
FCE has LOTS of audio filters, and reading the manual confused more than helped. Can anyone describe a way to filter, and which filter, starting adjustments, etc. I should be approaching?
The good thing about my project is that once I get one clip adjusted, I think I can copy and paste the attributes to the other similar clips.
Thanks.
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
You can try the hum filter in FCE, it may help, but it's really designed to reduce 50/60Hz A/C hum. Graphic EQ really won't help - the noise crosses a wide swath of frequencies and has enough randomness in it that you need something that has a 'learn noise' capability to really attack the problem.
Audacity is a sound editor. I'd suggest exporting your audio track as an AIFF file, import that into Audacity and see if the noise filter will work on it (you DO sample the noise in Audacity just like in Sound Soap). If it works, you can save the result and import it back into FCE.

  • Hi there. Can a MacBook from mid 2007 running OS X (10.6.8) be upgraded to a later version? If yes which one and how can I get it please? Many thanks. Franck

    Hi there. Can a MacBook from mid 2007 running OS X (10.6.8) be upgraded to a later version? If yes which one and how can I get it please? Many thanks. Franck

    10.7 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is $19.99.
    You must have at least a Late 2006 model 2,1 MacBook.
    The model 2,1 (Late 2006 & Mid 2007) can use 3gb of 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
    The model 3,1 (Late 2007) can use 6gb of 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in the model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/faq/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-3-g b-memory-limitation-details.html
    OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. the model 2,1 is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • 2 Questions: Missing audio files...and How to delete audio files

    I have two nagging issues associated with my podcast at iTunes.
    First, audio files are missing from the podcast. Everytime I post m4a files to my podcast, they are added to an xml file, and to the podcast. The xml file is complete, but some files are not making the trip to the podcast.
    Second, I have a need to delete some of the audio files which appear in my podcast. How do I do that?
    Thanks!

    As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
    http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
    You can also present your songs like this...
    http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
    This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
    A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
    iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

  • Which font and how to add a chinese font into font book that can be used in CS6 programs

    I am wondering which chinese fonts are useable for Mac OS X. Which to buy and how to use. Should I use Font Pack or other programs to get the font to be used. Any advice is useful. Thank you

    Are you planning on using the Chinese language in Illustrator?  Or, do you just want a Chinese looking font, but using the English language?  I use Font Agent Pro for font management.  It allows you to install the font, view it and print a sample.  You can look for Chinese looking fonts online ( i.e., myfonts.com ).  As far as Chinese fonts themselves, I have no clue.

  • Shiladitya Mukherjee help...so which version and how??

    -------<your query>--------------
    Chetan ,

    i have the right only to use the tools of the webdb to do this
    do two forms on the same page???
    how do i do that
    -------</your query>--------------
    Hi Damien,
    If I have understood your problem correctly, then I guess your are trying to have two forms in the same right ??
    steps :-
    1> Make your appicalition as a provider
    2> Expose the relevant forms as portlets
    3> create a new page, choose the provider that contains your form portlets and include them in the page.
    4> View the page -- both the forms should be visible.

  • Which BAPI and how to use it in order to modify results

    Hello,
    I need to enter the results of an Inspection Lot using an external program.
    Below is a screenshot of QA32:
    - The round circles show what I know;
    - The arrow shows what I wish to modify;
    I would appreciate some help on the following topics:
    - Which BAPI to use;
    - How to fill the BAPI;
    - Does the BAPI need BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    João

    Hi,
    Not certain what your external system is, but it may be worthwhile to go through the QM-IDI documentation to see if that meets your requirements
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/26/b43927506511d182c20000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
    Alternately, take a look at BAPI_INSPOPER_GETDETAIL to determine how the lot expects to receive results, and BAPI_INSPOPER_RECORDRESULTS to set the results accordingly
    Regards,

  • JAva API's which one and how?

    hi, thanks for the reply, (see below message)
    basically i want to create a a webbased application that uses JSP, XML. i know i need to use JSDK and J2EE and know how to install them, however im thinking of using Xerces-J as it contains SAX and DOM pparses. alongside this i wish to use tomcat as the deployment application. i am not very experianced with installing these last two apps and dont understand the guides and they dont mention other API's? do i need to install Java webservices development pack or are the java xml parses such as JAXP, are SAX and DOM already part of the API or do i need to use xerces!
    thanks in advance
    im starting a project which is webbased, so i will be using JSP and XML.
    i have installed tomcat it seems to work fine.
    but having problems with the other java packages: J2EE, JSDK and apache's xerces-J for xml processing!
    do i need to install the JAVA WSDP?? how would i go about installing these??
    please please help!

    Hi,
    Please let us know the problem you are facing while installing.
    Install J2EE 1.4 application server.You could create web application using it. It contains xerces parser for xml processing.
    -Amol

    Hi Moh_Ali,
    You don't have to install JWSDP pack for xml parsing.
    If you are using jdk 1.4 and above, there is a xml parser(crimson) bundled with it for xml processing(SAX,DOM).
    Even tomcat 5 has xerces bundled with it.
    Hence for your web based application , what you need is j2sdk and tomcat .
    Get back if you have any other issues.

  • Thunderbird is 'Downloading to Inbox', but which inbox and how do I stop it? Each email is causing TB to become "Not Responding"

    I use Thunderbird because I have a couple of personal email addresses, and several work email addresses. At the bottom of the screen it currently shows- Downloading 17 of 794 to inbox. when this problem started the total was 2300. It now only says 794 because I have restarted it and that is what is left. I have been watching these emails download all day, but I don't know which inbox they are related to, where they are downloading to, and I also don't know why each one causes Thunderbird to stop responding. Each one is taking 10-30 seconds to come in, and I can't compose any emails while it is doing this. It freezes up for about 20 seconds and the window dulls. I have tried compacting my inboxes, but it doesn't seem to help. HELP!

    Regarding toolbar:
    More recent versions of Thunderbird do not auto show the toolbars by default. The developers decided to create a menu icon (3 bar icon). Unfortunately, they also moved or slightly renamed some of the options and some tools require the correct toolbar enabled. This change did not take into consideration that virtually all help refers to the toolbars.
    You can enable all the toolbars to make life easier.
    3 bar menu icon > Options > select all the toolbars.

  • Which NIC and how to configure?

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me which is the easiest NIC to configure in Solaris 8(Intel) and the steps to configure it. I need to buy one.
    Thanks
    Thiru

    I prefer Intel 82559 NICs but 3Com 905B NICs are good too. To configure them is easy. I would read the manual page for `ifconfig' to familiarise myself with it.

  • First mac. G5. No Os . which osx and how?

    i bought a Power Mac G5.  PowerMac7,2. M9020LL/A. for what i thought was a very reasonable price.
    i have never owned a mac before, and i want to use this to get more familiar with mac.
    it seems there is no OS installed. 
    the person whom i bought it from said the hard drive was wiped and there is no disks.
    when it boots up it takes me to a screen with a blinking folder.
    what version os do i need to find?
    ~john

    If you want this Mac to be as current as possible, then you should purchase and install any OEM retail disc version of OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    Try online sources like amazon.com.
    Here is the last 10.5.6 OEM retail disc version.
    It has to be an official, retail disc version. Grey colored discs will NOT work.
