Is there a way to eliminate or reduce wind noise while retaining voice?

Is there a filter/effect that will reduce wind noise while retaining voice reception?

HI -
Are you talking about general wind noise as in "Wind in the Background" or are you referring to wind which is directly hitting the microphone capsule and thus causing extreme plosives and distortion.
In latter scenario, there is nothing that you can do aside from 'living with it' or record it again.
The first scenario; one can use a either an advanced denoiser which will literally remove the noise from the audio signal. In the case of wind, this would probably remove lots of the vocal too and cause unwanted side effects.  I myself would use a gate (AKA Noise Gate) or expander effect. The gate sets a threshold @ which it literally opens and lets the audio signal pass thru'. One would set that threshold to open when the person is talking. And close when he is not. In most cases the wind will be a little quieter in level than the speech (If the material has been recorded correctly).
There are numerous of cheap and perfect functioning gates available as audio units.
Perhaps you can find some free, perhaps not.
If @ one point you want to get something which is really good and highly intuitive, I suggest you look into the FabFilter company.
They make great audio products @ a very fair rate and are the most intuitive you can find. But try the free ones first.

Removing noise is about the most nasty and difficult thing, I as an audio engineer can think of. So don't expect this to be easy if it has to sound great ;-)

  • If photos are in more than one album or event are they taking up twice as much disk space?  is there a way to eliminate all duplicates without doing it one by one?

    If photos are inmore than one album or event are they taking up twice as much disk space?
    Is there a way to eliminate duplicates without doing it one by one?

    A photo exists in only one event.  However, it can be in multiple albums, slideshows, books, etc. without taking up any additional disk space.
    If you truly have duplicates in iPhoto, not as viewed via the Finder  you can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: i photo has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but the only diplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have diffferent file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • When I stream a movie via Apple TV from my iPad Air into my Samsung TV, I'm getting the "soap opera" effect. This only happens when I use Apple TV, not when I view a movie directly through a cable channel. Is there a way to eliminate this effect?

    I'm having the same problem.  It's not an issue with my TV, i've turned this feature off.  I've tried playing with the ATV display settings but nothing works.  When I stream netflix from my Samsung bluray player, I don't get the soap opera effect, but when I stream any video from the ATV, the soap opera effect is there.  I'm thinking it's a choice that Apple made, but I really wish it could be turned off.  Not a lot of people are searching for this, because it can be easy to overlook, but it's driving me nuts!

  • Is there any way to eliminate the locked file function in iWork apps?

    Hi, I recently added Lion to my Mac. Is there any way to eliminate the "locked file" function. I do not use iCloud or Time Machine on my Mac. Thanks. Bob

    I don't use Time Machine either but the option for this function is in the Time Machine options.
    Open System Preferences > Time Machine
    Click 'Options'
    The bottom option should be about auto-saving. To stop applications from locking documents, uncheck the box. To extend the peiod before the document is locked, select the appropriate time from the drop-down menu.
    Hope that;s what you wanted!

  • I took a 6 minute video and it's too grainy. Is there any way at all to reduce the grain? Or am I out of luck?

    I took a 6 minute video and it's too grainy. Is there any way at all to reduce the grain? Or am I out of luck?

    Yes, you have lots of alternatives.
    1.  Got to somewhere like Google docs and create a comment and feedback form, that can be inserted onto your site via the html snippet.  You can also take a look at http://www.jotform.com.  Whenever someone completes the form, you will be e-mailed with all the info.
    2.  Use a comment system like http://www.intensedebate.com.  Very good and the comments will be displayed on your site and you will be e-mailed when someone comments and you are able to accept it or reject it in this way. 
    3.  Go and create a blog elsewhere, like http://wordpress.com or if you have hosting, then try http://wordpress.org.  You can load this on your server with no problem and then create comments here, so in your iWeb site you either create a link to your blog or you can display your blog as an iframe in your iWeb site using iframe code.
    4.  As far as hit counters go - there are many.  Just do a Google search for hit counters - http://www.hitcounterexpert.com and there are hundreds more.
    Perhaps Apple keep blog comments and hit counter as MobileMe only to encourage people to use MobileMe rather than external servers.  However, we can only speculate on that!

  • Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts

    Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts, I have tried downloading my contacts to my PC's outlook but only 1 contact comes across at a time despite the fact that Icloud says downloading namedperson + 249 other contacts to a CSV file

    Hi everyone!
    Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities: 
    "The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
    Let's keep looking guys... 

  • Since downloading the 2013 Keynote upgrade, the slide image size on handouts with 3 slides per page option is very small. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping 3 slides per page   lines?

    With the new Keynote upgrade (version 6.1), the slide image size on handouts is very small, which makes it difficult to read slide content when compiling lecture notes for students. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping to a format of 3 slides per page with lines?

    A number of posts have reported the same issue, two workarounds:
    1
    check the paper handling options or equivalent in your print dialogue box and set to scale to fit
    2 
    in the Keynote option, in the dropdown menu in the Print section, select Individual Slides
    then choose Layout, and set the number of pages, when printed you will have multiple pages on a single sheet.

  • Is there a way to enable the "protect tones" box while working in Lab mode for dodging and burning?

    Is there a way to enable the "protect tones" box while working in Lab  Color mode for dodging and burning?

    Don't think so. Those algorithms are built around the RGB color model as far as I know and there is no way to achieve the same result in other color modes. It may not be programmaticalyl and matehmatically impossible, but it's probably too complicated for a quick solution due to constant color space conversion math getting involved.

  • Is there a way to select a specific playback device while using itunes 11 on Windows 7?

    Is there a way to select a specific playback device while using itunes 11 on Windows 7? I was trying to select a device, is there such an option in itunes as there is in VLC player and Windows Media Player. If not, any idea when this feature will becoem available? Thanks!

    iTunes supports multiple Airplay devices that can be selected.  If the device does not support Airplay then the manufacture of the device would need to support it for iTunes.

  • Is there a way to eliminate black margins from a cropped digital photo

    I often crop my photos when editing.  However, if I remove a large portion of the photo and view them in iPhoto, there are usually large black margins.  Is there a way to hide or eliminate these borders?

    I am embarrassed to say I tried to find one and couldn't.  The only explanation I can think of is that I recently upgraded to iPhoto 11 and perhaps that made a difference.
    Thank you so much for trying to help.  If and when it ever occurs again, I'll note the specifics.

  • Is there a way to "compress" or reduce keynote file size?

    I have transferred some PowerPoint presentations to Keynote and in general have had no difficulty. However, I can "compress" the pictures in PowerPoint which makes the file size much smaller.
    Is there any way to reduce the file size of a Keynote presentation?

    hi I am trying to do a project of putting a keynote saved as a quicktime into garageband and adding audio and then compressing it via Share ...sent to itunes etc. It does get smaller.
    But Are there any experts out there on putting a keynote with narration into garageband. I loose all of the timing control when I send it to quicktime. It seems like a LOT of steps.
    Also, putting a narration into keynote is so long. Power Point just lets you record the narration on each slide. So I was putting it into garageband and trying to add the narration podcast style. Any suggestions.

  • Is there a way to toggle to a web browser while in Keynote presenter view?

    I teach at a number of research classes at a University and I prefer to use Keynote as a teaching tool. My teaching requires that I access websites regularly throughout the the class.
    Here is what I'm currently doing:
    1. Before the class starts, I open each website we'll be using during the class as window and assign the window to it's own desktop. So if I have four websites the students will be accessing during class, I'll assign those four websites to four distinct Mission Control desktops (I'm using the 10.8.4 OS X).
    2. I run my presentiation from Keynote using the play key, but without access presentation mode.
    3. When I need to access a website while teaching, I [ALT]-[TAB] out of Keynote, select the appropriate page from Mission Control, and demo that page.
    4. When I'm done, I simply click the Keynote icon in the dock and resume my presentation.
    This system works and I have no real complaints with it - except that I cannot take advantage of Keynote's presentation tools. I've tried any number of ways to toggle to a web browser while in presention mode without success. While in presentation mode, if I [ALT]-[TAB] out of the presentation, it simply stops the presentation and the web page doesn't appear on the projection display (because I'm not mirroring my displays) and the only way to get it to work is to re-mirror my displays.
    I tried using the X command in Keynote, which is the toggle between displays, but no matter what I did, I cannot get the webpage to show up on the projection display.
    Is there an easier way to do this? Bear in mind, I'm not merely showing webpages, but I'm actually interacting with them (performing research on these pages) so they have to be operational. Right now I'm assuming presentation mode is just not going to work for this kind of scenario.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    place as many shapes as you need on a slide and create a hyperlinks to your website
    Keynote preferences > slide show;    select  >  allow Expose and others to use screen
    select the shape and in Inspector > Hyperlink; select the enable as hyperlink box, then type in the address
    use alt > tab to go back to Keynote
    before playing Keynote, open and move the web browser on to the projector screen to position it ready for use

  • Is there any way to PAUSE/RESUME the actual recording while recording a Video Demo slide in Captivate 8?

    If I have to take an "off-screen" action while recording a video demo slide in Captivate I am forced to END and start a separate video demo to continue.
    This fragments my demo and seems an unnecessary set of steps.
    Is there a way to pause the recording for long enough, say to clear my throat, and then resume?
    Thanks.
