Software to record own voice with vey low noise

[koolguy74sg]

hi there,

I would like to check out whether there are software to do voice recording with very low noise output.

the software do not add noise. it is during recording, the surrounding, microphone technique and level/gain setting that adds noise.

 

[koolguy74sg]

yup. I know my files got noise. The software is helping to reduce the noise level to minimum.When I record with my mic, and touch the mic to stop recording, there will be mic moving noise, which interfere the recording. When baby cry or someone shouting outside, there is also noise interference which affect the output of the recording.

Mike noise.
How do you touch the mike to stop recording??
Consider using a noise gate. Edit the "mic moving noise" in a wave editor.

Ambient noise
Record in a noise free environment lah. Using a noise gate might help but you would still get ambient noise in the recorded portion.
Even a noise reduction software would not help much in these type of situation.

Remebr the saying: Garbage In Garbage Out.

the way u miked up.. the way u record the way u sing the place ur in all counts.. software dont..

software onli can take away noise.. theres some programme that got sound filter.. but it affects the quality 8)

The mic is a built-in mic which comes together with the MP3 recorder.

If that's what you are using then please use the axiom
"Garbage In Garbage Out".

Okie... I think i might know what you're talking about... cos i started out recording with a PC mic also.

You can try downloading Audacity. Though nothing fancy, it is still a pretty down to earth and stable multi-tracker. There's this noise removal plug-in where you can select a portion of (noisy)silence, and analyse it for noise, and then apply the noise removal base on the first analysis. Pretty effective actually. But but will affect the way certain freq sound. But its really not bad. Try it.

Hi, with PC mic, you can only do so much. Quite limited, but what do you expect from something which less than a dollar to manufacture.

It's pretty ok actually, as these are normally tuned to the vocal range of frequency, except its not linear at all.

An advise to get the best of it. Find the sweet spot, and volume to sing at. Means you have to train your voice to it. Because at a certain position and singing volume range, that's where you get the best sample.

Unlike an enclosed studio with a very sensitive condenser mike, where you can accept a very wide range of possible sample which is easy to doctor.

Other than that, my advise, be content. What do you expect for a few dollars mic, others pro ones uses mikes easily cost several thousands per piece.

You can also upgrade to trademark Shure SM58 as a next step possibilities, cost about more than $150. (do not get used ones, may have lost sensitiveity after long use or abuse)

noise...?

oops... i like to stress more on this actually... software does make noise when we're talking abt sampling rate n all dat ...this is wat we call digital noise....!!
n soundcard does plays an important part as well...
Pro studio spend thousands of dollars for a good quality audio card w low noise n least latency recording... wana do a good recording, forget abt all these domestic products like the sound blaster or m-audion much more...

second, we have electronic noise.. related to signal flow of the whole set up n gain control through the whole set up... there is a fundamental to as how we control our level wic comes down to the end of the signal flow..!!
not juz our signal flow but some old equipment does produce noise as well..

third, we have airborne noise... wic comes down to evironmental noise like sound from the surrounding..

n lastly we have struture noise...!!!

so it is wise to have a recording in a proper recording studio... no way a good no noise no latency recording can be done at home... i mean .. (NO WAY)

Thanks Seekz, shall look into it, coz now I am recording only guitar sound, not my voice, shall try if I want to sing on a mic as well. Now I have Guitar Pro 4 to just record guitar sounds.

wah...change topic from mp3 recorder built-in mic to PC mic already ar...

so it is wise to have a recording in a proper recording studio... no way a good no noise no latency recording can be done at home... i mean .. (NO WAY)

Can be done with home recording lar..only you need to spend some $$ on buy all the home audio equipment, which can cost quite expensive. Well if you like to spend on getting good quality, why not for home audio recording? Recording studio is ok, but they still around 14 dollars plus per hour I think...if you are frequent using audio equipments, then it is better for getting a set of home audio equipment like someone who recommend me that M-audio or something.

Cool Edit Pro (Audition) has a similar feature. There's a trick to using it properly though, and it took me quite a few years to discover it:

1) Make 2 copies of the noisy track.
2) Do a noise profile on a piece with noise only, and save the profile.
3) Use the same profile to:
a) Remove Noise on one track
b) Remove everything BUT noise on the other track
4) Sync them up in multitrack view (this should give you exactly your original sound)
5) EQ the track with the noise only. For vox it works quite good to eq away everything below 400Hz and everything above 4kHz.

In this way, you get noise cancellation WITHOUT the irritating phasing-effect.

MP3 Recorder

I've tried several recording tools and the quality of records differs, though a lot depends on the soundcard and micro you have.
What I'm using now is MP3 Recorder Studio. It produces a really good quality of records, which is also configurable. It also records directly in mp3 so I save much space on my HD.

just wondering, how did you dig up a 4 year old thread?
