Remove noise?  NO   -  Add noise, YES!

Probably the reverse of most assist requests, I actually want to add noise.
Here's the skinny -
I'm doing a multi-part tutorial series for an Air Traffic Controllers group. Most of it is me sitting in a cockpit explaining the various FAA procedures. Part of it is listening to air traffic controllers on a radio. I've done the air traffic controllers part, but it's just too crisp and clean and sounds like they're sitting in the cockpit next to me.  What I'm trying to achieve is the 'on the radio' sound effect with all it's mild garble and static noise.
How can I achieve this static noise to lay under my controllers voices so they sound like they're coming from a 5" speaker box over the air?
Thanks for all your help.

First you need to thin out the voice to make it "telephone" using equalisation. Then using aCompressor to squash it and maybe reduce it's bit depth from 16 bit (or whatever it is at present) to 8 bit. Finally mix in a bit of "shash" bgy finding a sound effect of radio static or record some off an untuned FM radio.
This free downloadable plugin from Izotope might help.

  • How to remove noise from a recorded audio file.

    I'm a relatively new user. I recorded certain audio files which are noisy(humm or hiss). Can anyone suggest ways to remove noise from that clip? I tried Denoiser but it added further noise artifacts which were unpleasant to hear Need help. And pls dont ask me to rerecord it in a noise free environment!

    If you have some cash you go after 'Sonnox Restoreor' or 'iZotope RX'. Otherwise this might be of some help:

  • Removing noise & artifacts from FCP audio?

    I got an email today from iZotope, a company I was familiar with from working with Logic Pro.
    The link contained a video tutorial for removing noise using their plug-in RX: Denoiser. I was impressed.
    http://www.izotope.com/support/videos.asp
    I know that I'm going to need to deal with this issue. Has anyone used them for this purpose? Are there better tools available that are not outrageous in price?

    Soundsoap Pro from BIAS works well. It is a complicated application and demands a fair understanding of how audio works to get the best results from it. If you are willing to spend the time, you can get very good results.
    Soundsoap Pro can be run from within Soundtrack Pro or other VST/AU aware audio programs. I use it with PEAK.
    If you want a one step process, Soundsoap 2 may be what you are after. I believe it runs as a standalone app and will do an OK job with simple noise.
    I've tried Soundtrack's remove noise filter and find it slow and not as effective or as controllable as SSP.
    Have fun.

  • Remove noise

    I have some footage with noise. I used neat video in premiere sc6 and that removed a lot of it. But I want to remove it all. Does anyone know if you establish a dynamic link from premiere sc6 to after effects and than remove noise with the effect in after effects..does this work ok?

    If you already have Neat Video, then rather than looking at a second pass using another denoiser, why not simply tweak the settings in Neat to get the desired results? A lot of folks report issues with Dynamic Link, and knowing how processing-intensive any denoiser is, I'd think that using DL from Premiere may be looking for trouble.
    I have had instances where I'd already completed an edit, say a wedding ceremony, then after the fact decided that I REALLY needed to run a denoiser on the footage...but it was all ready cut up, color-corrected and mixed with second camera. In that case, I would open the original camera clip in After Effects and use either the AE denoiser, or Magic Bullet Denoiser II on the clip. Then export to a new .avi clip and in Premiere, I would unlink the original, then relink to the new clip which would automagically replace all grainy footage in the edit with the new denoised version. That's one way to do it. Make sure to include audio in the AE export, or the link/unlink in PR will lose the existing audio that had been associated with original source clip.
    Not suggesting you change denoisers, just sharing my workflow.
    Good luck

  • Removing noise, grain and/or digital distorion.

    I have some really noisy/grainy clips (HDV 1080i), my best solution is bouncing back and forth between After Effects and applying the Remove Noise effect. It's time and space consuming. There seems to be no obvious 'Noise Removal' tool in FCP. Can I achieve this without leaving FCP?
    Thanks for your time.

    My bad, I misread that. I thought you were referring to artifacts present in interlaced HDV footage. If you had the gain cranked up while filming there is only so much you can really do to fix it. The camera basically generated artificial light pixels where there weren't any to create the image. You can adjust the blacks and whites a bit using color correction, but beyond that I have no clue...

  • Removing noise in optical motion capture data

    Hello to you.
    I am building my own optical motion capture system. In
    relation to this I have coded a modified K-means clustering
    algorithm in LINGO, which can be used for removing image noise in
    the captured image data. Noise is in this case regarded as being
    sparse groups of pixels (e.g they do not belong to a marker as
    these are represented as compact pixel groups).
    In order to evaluate the performance of my algorithm I need
    to compare it with some other noise filtering solution. Does anyone
    know if there is any suitable such LINGO code available? Possibly
    Mean or Median filters…
    I hope for positive replies:)

    The problem is that you're deleting things from the list
    you're looking at
    and things get moved towards the start, thus skipping an
    iteration you
    wanted to examine. If you start at the end, you won't get
    that problem.

    clusters = [ [point(477, 453), point(477, 459), point(477,

  • Remove and re-add old NW65 server in mixed NW/Linux Tree 614

    Wasn't sure where to post this as it's really an eDirectory issue caused by trying to remove and re-add a rebuilt NW65 server.
    We have a mixed Netware and Linux Tree and due to some very strange hardware issues the Netware server completely died and corrupted DS. Novell assisted getting the server back in to the tree using this TID https://www.netiq.com/communities/co...ster-recovery/ without the rebuild and everything was pretty good.
    Then Disaster 2 occurred, the Hardware failed completely and tanked the Netware server again. We've now completely replaced the Chassis, controller and drives and done a clean NW install in a new tree. Restored the SYS and DATA volumes from tape (Backup Exec 9.2 for NW) which has now 'broken' then temp tree as expected (error -6061) as the restored NICI is now unable to work with the new tree.
    So we're at step 5 again of the DR doc mentioned above. When we did this previously it worked fine. But it looks like something from the previous NCP server object delete is still stuck somewhere, we now get an error -614 "An attempt was made to add a duplicate value to the specified property" and we can't delete the NCP server object from ConsoleOne. I'm assuming it's something to do with the "Unknown Base Class" attribute which was set from the previous time the server was removed from the tree, I'm assuming that it's trying to add the attribute and it's already there (I can still see it in iMonitor). Can I clean this up so I can remove the server from the tree?
    I have a Chat session on hold waiting for Novell, but this could take a couple of hours for a response.
    TIA,
    Mark.

    I think this is going to need a dialin from NTS.

    Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
    I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5)

  • Once I upgrade CS5 to CS6 can I remove CS5 thru Add Remove programs in Windows? [was: CS6]

    Once I ugrade CS5 to CS6 can I remove CS5 thru Add Remove programs in Windows or just delete them?

    never delete any installed program on a windows os, always uninstall.
    you can uninstall cs5 before or after you install cs6. or, you don't need to uninstall, at all.
    if you uninstall before installing cs6, you will be prompted for your cs5 serial number (in addition to your cs6 serial.  if you leave cs5 installed, you won't need the cs5 serial number to install your cs6 upgrade.

  • Transport Noise Removal/Noise Removal "Masks/Layers" saving?

    Hi,
    I have a problem that I'm looking for an easier way to solve. I have about 75 old Digital8 tapes from a Sony DCR-TRV310 that has a VERY annoying tape transport whine through every single tape. It appears to be exactly the same in all tapes (though the *apparent* volume and irritability changes due to the volume of action/background noise).
    I have tried the "automatic" methods of dealing with this in Soundbooth, but they do not appear to make any noticeable difference. So I have been using the "Task", "Remove a Sound" option to remove the horizontal "bands" (frequency ranges) that appear in the entire tape (usually with multiple "takes" in different locations, so the banded sound would be unique to the camcorder). This has worked well, but is time consuming.
    To get these bands, I have to highlight one using the "Frequency Selection Tool" drag it to -96db and then let the computer proceed to reduce that particular band, which takes about 5 minutes on my computer. Then do the same for the next band, etc. There appear to be 5-10 primary frequency bands that are consistent throughout the tapes.
    It would be REALLY nice if I could manually select a SET of frequency bands (say, 1500-1625, 2050-2250, 3500-3675, etc.) that would eliminate the tape transport noise and be able to apply it as a custom defined mask/filter. This way I could do it once and then have it done for the entire tape.
    Is there an easier way to do this that I am just missing?!?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Best regards,
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    First, you can overlay the channels in the editor by selecting View > Channels > Layered in the menu bar, however this only applies to the Waveform view, not spectral, and I don't believe there are any user-facing opacity settings, so I don't think this is going to be the solution you want.
    Here's the steps I would take for this particular workflow.
    1. First attempt would be to use the Noise Reduction tools by capturing a Noise Print. Make a selection in an area of your recording that consists purely or mostly of the transport whine, then in the Tasks panel, open "Clean Up Audio" and select "Capture Noise Print." Click the "Noise..." button next to it and try the noise reduction again.
    2. If this does not provide sufficient results, you may be able to use the Advanced Parametric EQ effect instead. Open the Effects panel and add the Advanced > EQ: Parametric effect, then open it's Settings UI. You can adjust the center frequency of each band to match your needs. Using the values you gave above, I would adjust Band 1 to 1560 Hz, Band 2 to 2150Hz, Band 3 to 3590 Hz, etc, each being the centerpoint of the frequency ranges you listed. Adjust the dB value low - say -12dB to start, and the Q value pretty high - this is the width of the notched frequencies. You'll want to experiment with both of those parameters, but you should be able to create a rudimentary Notch filter.
    3. You may simply be trying to perform a task that is slightly beyond what Soundbooth is intended for. If you are using a Windows-based system, you may want to download the 30-day trial of Audition 3.0. It offers the same sort of Spectral view, but lots more effects and restoration features. In your case, I would recommend using the actual Notch Filter effect which gives even more control over the frequencies and width parameters. Once you find a setup that works, save it as a preset. You can then perform a Batch operation, correcting ALL your files at once using that preset. It's Adaptive Noise Reduction tool may also be more successful at identifying the constant tones and removing them.
