Mr Swede Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hey, I get a bit of hiss when I record my acoustic guitars, I think its from my surroundings here at home, not an optimal enviroment in any way. But still I have the problem. When the guitars and vocals are in a mix i dont notice it, because its kind of low. But when I do a solo piece its there. So can I reduce this in any way? any tools/plugins? I dont think that I can do anything better in here recording-wise. Im afraid. Thanks /S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Soundtrack Pro excels at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Swede Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Soundtrack Pro excels at this. Oh really, I have to check it! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkgross Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 yup. SoundsSoap Pro is also good, but it cost money. The built in Noise Reduction in SoundTrack Pro does a GREAT job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
route-electrique Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I wonder if this trick works..When you're recording your guitars, take another take; you sitting on the exact same spot w/ same config (mic positions, distances etc.), but only record the silence. Then reverse phase and mix it with guitar track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then reverse phase and mix it with guitar track. Good idea, but unfortunately it won't work in practice - the background noise is going to be an inherently random waveform, so it won't "null" if you mix a polarity-inverted recording of the background noise recorded at a separate time - you'll just end up with twice as much background noise. You will, however, want to record some of the background noise for the noise-reduction process in Soundtrack or SoundSoap to "profile". Can you tell if the background noise is "acoustic" (i.e., refrigerator in the background, air conditioner, cars driving by outside) or "electronic" (i.e. noise floor of your mic/preamp/interface, not something in the room that the mic is picking up)? I've often had to unplug the fridge and other household stuff when recording with condenser mics at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
route-electrique Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yeah, i guess this could be only effective for headphone bleeds. Let us know how that Sound Track works out, i've been looking for nice audio cleaning bundle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
