How do I get rid of background noise when recording a slideshow??

Im trying to record a slideshow for keynote with music soundtrack coming in time with the clicks, but even when I plug a mike cable into what looks like the mike socket, i still hear background noise such as me tapping the key board...
any tips? Is there a way of turning the microphone off completely??

Go to System Preferences / Sound and click on the Input button. You should see two items listed in the device menu: the Internal Microphone and Line In. (There may be others if you also are using your USB or Firewire ports for input devices.)
Select Internal Microphone and adjust the Input Volume control to the far left (minimum). This will mute the computer's internal microphone.
Then select the Line-In (or other device) and adjust the input level as needed to make your recording.
Good luck.

Getting rid of background noise when recording cassettes

How do I get rid of the hissing background noise when I transfer cassettes into GB?

Thanks - this is totally new to me. What sort of software do I need to clean up the noise after the fact? I'm dealing with old cassettes and a cassette player with no dolby option.
there's a bunch of applications that will clean up or "restore" noisy audio, and they range a lot in price and features. Here's a few options:
Bias makes Soundsoap 2 (around $100) and Soundsoap Pro (around $550). Bias makes some great audio software, so Soundsoap 2 might be more than adequate.

If you think you might want to use Roxio's Toast 10 Titanium Pro (around $115), it comes with a version of Soundsoap included. As long as you don't need the features of a dedicated noise removal application, it's a pretty good deal:

In Adobe Elements, how do I get rid of background noise in my audio?

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Classically USB microphones do not work with Premiere Elements (any version) for use with its Narration Tool. Have you found otherwise?
Where is the noise - in narration clips produced by the Narration Tool or from imported audio files added to numbered Audio Tracks and/or soundtrack?
From what you wrote, it appears that the audio noises are confined to the narration being produced with your microphone and Premiere Elements Narration Tool. Is that correct?
Under fx Effects there are audio effects that you can explore to reduce noise. See Reference Effects Adobe document for a description of the fx Effects audio effects.
Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Effects reference
If you use the same microphone and create your narration in Audacity and import that narration into a Premiere Elements project, do you get noise in your narration?
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
Besides making sure that your microphone is compatible with Premiere Elements, have you evaluated your narration recording techniques...how close are you to the microphone, room noise level while recording, etc.

How do I get rid of background noise?

Trying to get rid of background music from a speech given. The speech was infront of a mic so that audio is strong. Just need to get rid of the music in the background. Any suggestions?

FYI: Much of noise reduction depends on what "type" of noise you are trying to eradicate. E.g., in a sample piece of footage involving an interview with a lady in a cafe, there was a busy street outside.. just at the point in a critical line in her speech you could hear a break squeal in the background, you know, that high pitch squeal you hear from disc brakes from a vehicle!
Interesting bit! > What I learnt was that I could visualize the squeal frequency in the spectrum analyser.. it was very clear to see the offending noise.. then to eradicate it (and ONLY the break sequel) Using the mouse pointer I could simply select the spectrum print of the actual noise and press Delete! Amazing! Very quick but most importantly, absolutely no effect of the dynamics of the surrounding audio. Very Cool!

I'm using movie program how do get rid of background noise and put music over top of video

Niel,
Thanks for your suggestion about using RCDefaultApp. I am hesitating to do this because it seems like I'd be installing still another piece of software to fix the original mistake---downloading Reader.
About 20 years ago I maintained---with considerable handholding---UNIX systems of various sorts. Can you suggest how I might find the plist that seems to require changing?
BTW, Preview is called whenever I open some random .pdf file. The problem appears when I want to get a file from the web. If the site permits a "download" I can get the file, but if I want to "view and print" the file, the evil dark-grey Adobe screen appears with the whirling black ball. Then Safari quits. I'm wondering if the reference to Reader is in a "cookie" sent from the website, when I first was installing Reader. Is this possible?

How to get rid of background noises?

what would be the best way to edit a track to get rid of background noises like a guitar bleeding into the vocal mic?

Three things to try:
1) Insert the Noise Gate plug-in. Use judiciously, or you'll truncate the vocal (breaths, lip noise etc).
2) Use 'Strip Silence' on your vocal track (Audio Window)
3) Double-click on vocal track (Sample Editor) and using the change gain function, reduce the spilled noise in sections that are bothering you.
Which one works best for you depending on your track, but if the guitar bleed is too loud +while the vocal is present+, there's not really a magic filter to get rid of it.

How can I get rid of app upgrades , when I no longer have those particular apps?

If the app is no longer installed on the iPad then you should get prompts about updates to it in the App Store app - as efectively there is nothing for it to update. If you are being prompted to download updates to them then are you sure that they are no longer on the iPad ?
If you are being prompted on your computer's iTunes then if you delete them for the App part of you computer's Library then you shouldn't be prompted about them.

How do I get rid of "unreadable files" when I am importing from my camera?

Are all images unreadable? What is the exact error message you are getting?
If only a few images are unreadable, try to import not all photos at once, but in smaller batches, until you know, which photo it is that cannot be read. Import all photos that can be read and reformat your card in the camera to remove the unreadable files.
But if all photos are unreadable, try, if Image Capture can read your card.
Is it a new camera? Have you been able to import from that camera before?

You don't republish any site as 'Ethmoid'. There is no term here that you need to be familiar with!
Did you read Old Toad's post properly? If not then go back and read what he actually wrote, which was - "Once you republish the site as Ethmoid mentioned". Spot your mistake?
Just re-publish your site as you normally would and then clear your browser cache.

Help to get rid of background noise in GB3 when recording voice on Sony mic

I am recording my voice into GB3 using a Sony ECM-MS907 condenser microphone connected to the line-in input on my iMac (core duo 20"). I use basic vocals with no effects.
My voice records fine but there is a background noise underneath which I can't seem to get rid of. It is also present if I use the built in microphone. I don't think it is room noise as it is pretty constant throughout.
I have added a backing track which helps to mask it but this is not really satisfactory.
Any ideas how I can record without this apparent interference?
iMac 20 Mac OS X (10.4.9) GB3 Condenser Mic (Sony ECM-MS907)
