Remove Audio Noise from LPs, Cassettes, MP3s

[canitasteyou321]

CDs with static is not static. its either audio errors or distortion and clipping due to the Loudness War. if the audio does not have errors on the CD, then its poor mastering.

The best noise cleaner I know is Nose Reduction plug for Sound Forge.

It really reads the noise and you can adjust how the reduction affects the sound file , add more high frequencies without the side fx we can listen in Audacity - like "underwater" effect.

Defintely give Audicity a try!! Might try this for fun on some noisey movies I have.

Sound Soap 2 works great and using rubbing alcohol and it will work perfect.

I have a problem. When I use my microphone there is no static! When i record it my voice and make my video there is no static. When I upload it to youtube. There is static! Help??

[fordgt402]

Ok this irritating static is getting on my nerves,when i capture my video using webcam and view it on its original state raw of 2 gig, there is no static.

The static comes when the file gets compressed to enable upload.There must be a good compressor out there that eliminates static upon compression.

Doesn't Chris have 30fps video of his own show?.. It seems strange to see old streamed video on YouTube. Why not just aim a camera at your monitor cam source view? :P

Check out the iZotope RX soft

im a musician and i use it a lot to clean takes that might be a little noisy

wow first comment for 2009 lol

You can also manually do noise and pops canceling with simple audio softwares such as Nero Wave Editor.

First, open any audio file at Nero wave Editor's main window. Then play and listen carefully to locate the pops or clicks and zoom that portion. Then highlight the pop or clicks that you want to remove. Then go to EDIT menu and click CUT.

Hiss can be eliminated by using any feature in the ENHANCEMENT menu such as NOISE REDUCTION, FILTER TOOLBOX or NOISE ANALYSIS.

how funny someone asked what is email? in the chatroom.

Audacity has a remover for background noise,

this is built in ... and not a plugin.

and it's FREE!

I've used it on many mp3's and videos as well.

Load the sound track/file

Find a sample of the noise

Click 'remove'

It's gone!

(Repeat as needed) :D

LP term aint been used for years, i always use the term vinyl, cos thats the stiff its made out of,lol. Great advice, gonna check that one out. tbh i still buy vinyl because it is amazing quality when you pay out for the hardware and the more you pay the more it sounds like a CD. ironically vinyl is the least compressed of all the formats, so you get most out of the sound to begin with

[Nikiaf]

if you're a real audiophile, i've heard of a laster turntable, that supposedly has better audio quality than cd using just any old vinyl lp! i've also heard it's able to play broken and scratched records no matter how badly damaged it is. it's called the ELP laser turntable. and it only costs $15000! :P

[shanedk]

GoldWave does an EXCELLENT job of this at a very low price.

What is LP?

[CoffeehouseSchmuck]

LP stands for LONG PLAYING

Back in the 1950s there were 3 sizes of records

45s,78s and LPs

45s were small records that had one song

78s ran at a fast speed and were for real short songs......the 45 and 78 stood for the RPMS of the record players turntable(45 revolutions per minute)

LPs.......were record albums with about 12 to 14 songs...what we see on Cds today

[davidaems]

@CoffeehouseSchmuck

God....it seems to talk about archeology... :( anyway, I have to correct you. 45 had two side, so two songs.

[aihoschema]

LP = lame post.

[imthebrother]

stands for Long Playing or another word vinyl record.
