Removing Pops from Audio

I cut some audio, but there's a pop where the person is ending one word and about to begin the next. What's the logical way of dealing with this issue?
Thanks.

Hi. Well I guess the "logical" solution is to re-cut the voice over. If that's not possible, zoom in on the waveform of the audio track and see where exactly the pop occurs. If it is between syllables you need to complete and start the words adjacent to the pop, hooray. Just highlight the pop-only waveforms and delete them. If, however, the pop (assuming it was caused by an explosion of air onto the mic) occurs when the speaker pronounces a "p" or another consonant, you can try reducung the lower frequencies with the audio EQ filter--for just that spot -- until the loud explosive fequencies are minimized. Anyway, whatever frequency range the pop is happenning in can be minimized by adjusting the EQ of that moment.

Recorded too low...Remove hiss from audio?

I'm a noob at Soundbooth and I'm hoping it will help resolve a problem. I shot a video and I think the audio (voice recording) is too low. While editing in Premiere I pulled the audio up in volume and it sounded acceptable... but when burned to DVD there is a hiss. Is there anything I can do with Soundbooth to fix the volume and eliminate the hiss. The simpler the explaination the better. Thanks!

re 1 & 3- there's a description of how to do this in the STP manual. Just look under the help section and it'll be there. Just read it this weekend and got it to work for me and believe me, I'm not the shapest knife in the drawer. One bit of advice, make an extra sequence before you export to STP so you don't mess up your original audio.
Regarding how to remove the hiss, unfortunately it's not a one size fits all. Jay Rose wrote an article entitle "Shh- the silent art of noise reduction" or something close to that. Definitely try to find that article if you can at DV.com You can always try a low cut or shelf. Start at 130 Hz Male to 200 Hz female and back off if it cuts too off (makes it sound too thin). There's supposed to be a way to compensate for this by doing an eq bump 3 x the frequency you cut or something like that. You can also cut or shelve frequecies above 12000 Hz. Then there's using a downward expander, but that's a little tricky with what STP comes with stock imo. Expanders are better for film/video than noise gates as they are much less abrupt. I would use noise reduction as my last resort and almost never use it at all. A lot of these filters can be applied in FCP.
Honestly, if you ask at the DV.com audio forum I'm sure they'll give you the advice you need. Jay Rose did write a book on post production audio that you might be interested in as well. Pretty much all of what I'm trying to tell you comes from it or that aricles. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost that book.

Removing echo from audio track.

Hi
I have audio recorded in a church which sounds great apart from the echo on it. Im at a loss as to which filter, if any will help remove it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many Thanks
Adrian

You may be able to reduce the level of echo by using a noise gate; the results will depend upon the nature and level of echo and also other background noise, but some reduction may be possible. Don't be too agreesive in the setting of noise reduction otherwise it will be very obvious that you are gating the sound and you will end up hearing the background sound coming and going as quite often heard on less well processed movies and tv productions.

Removing hum from audio

Lost the audio tracks from the mixer, so
all I have is the audio from the RED camera. There is a constant hum.
I tried the DeHummer tool at different settings, no luck.
All I have is Premiere CS5, no other tools like Audition. Is there a way to remove the hum
since it is constant? The audio files are *.mov for some reason, so Audacity didn't help either. Of all the scenes that could get screwed up, its the one with my five year old in it! UGH!!!!!
Thanks for your time,
Stuart

Stuart,
Much will depend on the frequency range of the hum and on the frequency range of the Audio that you wish to preserve. This ARTICLE will give you some tips.
While I use Audition, SoundBooth (do you have that program, as it's included in most Adobe suites?) should be able to help, as can the great, little free Audacity.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to remove hum from audio?

I know about these options:
Audio Enhancements - Equalization - Hum Reduction.
Audio Enhancements - Audio Analysis - Hum Reduction.
I may not be using these options right, but they can't help me.
I know also that I can use the Graphic Equalizer, but I do not know which graph to adjust to remove the hum. Is there a role of thumb? Any YouTube tutorials anyone know? Plugins?

The hum is my freezer in the background But it is not loud. I just don't like that I can tell that one voice clip ends and one starts because of the background. I have key frames fading start and end of each voice clip, which helps, but isn't there anything else I can do?
To avoid that, you always record a few minutes of your room's ambient noise (or outside if you are outside). Get a lot of that sound with nobody talking or making noise. You then use that in-between your cut dialogue clips so they flow smoothly.
You probably have a second or two in one of the clips where nobody is talking and you can grab that bit and copy/paste it in-between your clips.
Also, FCP X has some room tones built in, in the music media folders. Just search "room tone" and you'll find several. You can pick one of those that sounds the most like the one you've recorded and fade in/out the beginning/end of those clips.
If all else fails, you can put some royalty free music underneath and put a room sound FX on it to make it sound like it's a radio or TV in the room, in the background. This can hide audio issues well.

Removing distortion from audio

Hi guys,
I recently filmed at a mini festival and got a little to close to a speaker, I stupidly left the mic on automatic instead of controlling it manually!
Dumb move I know and I know ultimately it comes down to the raw audio but does anyone know what Final Cut Express 4 audio tools would be best to combat the problem?
Also out of interest, the speaker was on my left side, am I able to control the audio in a way where i can lower the left sides volume and increase the right, does that make sense?!
Any ideas?!
Cheers

Hi
As You might guess - this is tough and often futile. AND I'm much of a paper and clip / trial and error kind of person.
Left - Rigth balance
• There are sort of Pan - function in FCE - never used it - the proper way is to learn to use this
• I un-link the stereo pair of audio and with pen tool adjust amplification - by hand so that it sounds OK to me
• or I export out as QuickTime and as .aiff - and do the balance in an audio editor like Audacity or Sound Studio etc.
Noice
• Wind - nearly impossibly to get good - You might try SoundSoap™ on the exported audio - will help a little.
• Use Equalizer - also helps - take down everything under 100Hz and then fiddle with the rest to get an as good sound as You like. Still marginal effects.
Or as TV-Broadcasters do - FAKE it by dubbing - Hard to do and most probably need of sound-engineer + people that are good voices - and TIME and Patience.
Result can be excellent but the cost astronomical.
Yours Bengt W

Remove echo from recorded person?

I am trying to remove echo from audio that I recorded of a person speaking in a conference room. This is a professional project and I need it to be done right. I have tryed some fiters/effects in Soundtrack Pro but haven't had any luck?
Any suggestions?

Echoes are nearly impossible to remove for the simple reason that they exist in exactly the same frequencies as the original voice.
You can try a noise gate (on the assumption that the echoes are at a lower volume). You'll need to go gently in this as often the effort to remove the echo makes the audio worse.
You may have to re-record the person to get the audio. Unless you have access to a good ADR setup you'll probably end up running B-Roll on screen and using the new recording as a VO.
Next time have someone on the set wearing good quality headphones who's job is monitoring and riding levels on the audio as it is being recorded. Then, you'll catch the issue before it becomes a problem.
Good luck.

Removing Wind Noise from Audio in FCP

Is there a way to remove/filter wind noise from audio for use in FCP?

I'm not sure if you're if your sarcasm is targeted at me or Apple but just to clarify:
By rolling off the bottom end prior to using a Noise Print style NR technique you'll get a far better end result than just asking something like SoundSoap to decipher everything.
Wind noise is dynamic. NR tools like SoundSoap and other basic noise tools do not adequately address it. Since much of the problem with wind is in the very low frequency range simply rolling that stuff off cleans up the signal significantly and sometimes is all you need. Adding noise print style NR after the LF has been eliminated will produce a much better result.
Another technique for changing the perceived amount of interference from a dynamic source like wind is to copy a chunk of relatively clean ambient tone and pasting it over areas where there is noise but no dialogue. This step will obviously not help of a strong wind gust happens over the voice but it does improve the overall perceived quality of the recording. I usually don't offer this suggestion right off the bat because it's more of a surgical procedure which takes a bit of skill. What most people are looking to do is just clicking on the "remove noise" button.

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 Florescent Light Noise "Hum" from Audio Tracks using FCEHD

I have some clips taken under florescent lighting where the hum was discernable even during the sound check. (I was using external Electro Voice hypercardiod XLR mikes plugged into my Sony DCRVX2100, powered through a surge protector, monitoring the audio with Bose QC2 headphones). Using the same camera, cables, and mikes under incandescent lighting that day was fine - no hum.
Attempting to filter out the hum using the FCE Hum filter wasn't dramatically effective, even with repeated tests establishing that using a frequency of 60 hz, a Q of 40, a gain of -48, and the 1st and 3rd harmonics provided the most benefit.
Additionally I tried again with the FCE 31 band EQ filter, anticipating that the 50 hz and 60 hz filters would provide very specific improvements. Also tried were the LowPass Filter and the 3 band EQ.
I'd like to clean up the otherwise fine audio - any suggestions? I am considering buying a filtered power conditioner as I know that some of the problem can be "dirty" electricity resulting from the ballast of the florescent lighting.
Also, I noted that the numeric values shown for the gain using the FCE 31 band EQ filter oftentimes lagged behind the setting of the slider: returning the slider to the middle "0" position frequently didn't change the previous value of the gain shown. Is this another indication that I should just upgrade from my PowerBook G4 with 2 Gig of RAM?
Thanks!
James Mackay

Hello Jim,
And welcome to the Final Cut Express forum.
You are correct that the ballast generates the hum. Power conditioning is probably not going to reduce or eliminate it, because the old ballasts are magnetic. The only way I found to eliminate fluorescent noise at the source is to replace the ballast with an electronic one or replace the entire fixture with a T8 unit (they use electronic ballasts).
Removing that hum probably can't be done in FCE. Sound Soap can probably do it however, with it's ability to +learn noise+ and then remove that specific audio. The regular Sound Soap works as a plugin for Final Cut, which enables you to apply it within FCE.
At present there is also an 'SE' version available at 50% off however it only works in standalone mode, which means you would have to export the audio track from FCE, clean it and then re-import back into FCE.

I Have removed conduit from safari but it still has pop ups

So i have remove the application conduit and geniome from finder, but pop up still occur. I even changed and remove conduit from search and extension. I still get pop ups.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Selectively remove messages from POP server

The one feature that is preventing me from using Mac Mail is the absence of a way (that I can find anyways) of selectively removing mail from the server.
In Entourage you can click on each or any number of messages and choose to remove those messages from serve. This is invaluable to me as I do not want to have to see all the junk mail or mail I have delt with when I get home. However may messages I do want to keep. Others I can delete from Entourage knowing I can deal with them later at home as they will stay on the server.
I know you can have mail removed once it is moved out of the in box however that means that all the mail that I want to keep on the server, I can to keep in the inbox. I do not want to have a huge number of email stay in my inbox just so I do not have to remove from server.
I would like to use Mac Mail to be able to use the spotlight features.
Anyone know of a way that I may have missed to do what I can do in Entourage?
Thanks

Guys,
I have the same reservations about using Mail - I want to selectively delete mail from the server. I am using 10.3.9 and Mail 1.3.11 v622. Can I use Raymac's workaround? I did not see a Get Info when I tried to find one... What is the most current version of Mail that will work with 10.3.9?
Thanx,
Don

How do i remove feedback from garageband

Hello, i'm having trouble removing feedback in garageband when monitor is "on".
Thing is i was using Garageband yesterday, recording from the mic of my computer, using headphones and i was able to turn monitor on ( so i could hear what i was recording).
Today i plugged in my guitar (guitar --> adapter ---> laptop), but horribly failed to make it work, so i unplugged it.
Went back to record some voice again, but apparently when i turn monitor "on" now i hear a lot of feedback, even a window pops up telling me there's a lot of feedback so i better turn it off.
I unplugged the guitar and everything, using same configuration than yesterday but im not able to turn monitor "on" again without hearing a lot of feedback.
What could have happened?
thank you
extra info: guitar is really old, only 1 pick-up is working and the plug sometimes doesn't work, so i have to move it around in order to work again, etc..

Have you found the component by now?
I made a trial install of voxReducer2 to checkk where it gets unstalled - the only install option was in the user library, not the system library for all users. The plug-in ended up in ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/voxReducer2.component/ - in the hidden user library. That is very unusual. As HangTime said, usually these plug-ins will be installed in the System Library for all users.
To remove it from the user library, you need to open the hidden library. Use the Finder's "Go" menu:
Click somewhere on the empty Desktop to bring the Finder forard, then Select "Go" from the main menu bar and hold down the alt/options key ⌥, until "Library" appears in the drop-down menu.
Then select Library, and in the window that will open, go to the "Components" folder.
You need really to get rid of his plug-in in Mavericks - I only used it for a few minutes and Garageband needed to be force quit!
