Inthis particular case, it would appear to be trying too hard to amplify/improve barely audible background noise or mic rustle as it gets worse the more I 'enhance' the audio. But this is the very opposite of what the effect should be doing, surely it should be squashing wind, rustles, noise?
This is happening over multiple Macs and always on the latest version of PP. The error is repeatable using completely fresh projects, sequences and clips. I have had to stop using Enhance Audio for fear of missing some of these glitches and them going live.
The Enhance tool in Enhance Speech is designed to 'clean up' and improve voice recordings. As such, it will be very sensitive to voice sounds (or sounds that are voice-like), and attempt to 'improve' them.
I'd suggest removing the passages with background noise/voices (and adding room tone to fill the gap) in your example above, leaving only those passages with dialog you wish to use, supported by room tone for continuity.
Yeah, it's a shame that it does a good job with speech but doesn't handle silence well! But as the marketing says "magically remove noise and improve the quality of your dialogue clips so they sound like they were recorded in a professional studio."
If you listen to my clip again - the silence at 7.0 enhancement is great - it's just chucked in new sounds! And I like your tip about dipping the audio when there is no speech, but this could be a very manual fix for a supposedly time-saving filter.
Yes, I am having this same problem. In spaces of total silence in the audio (a Zoom call recording), Enhance Audio is adding (hallucinating) little samples of speech from a different part of the clip. Once it has started hallucinating a certain sound in a silent place, that same sound sample is repeated again in other silent parts of the clip.
We haven't heard back from you for a while now. Are you still experiencing this issue? Please let us know. Please also provide any additional info you can so the team can reproduce the problem. See: How do I write a bug report?
As much as I like the "Magic" of Enhanced Speech, let me join the chorus here and say "Great, but no cigar." Surely subsequent versions will be able to provide a slider/tool to control the threshold of those barely audible background voices that it currently insists on boosting. I undersatnd the corporate desire to get as much AI out as possible right now, but please get it better dialed in before pushing it to subscribers.
I have recently purchased a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface and have begun experimenting with recording guitar. I have also downloaded Reaper, as well as Guitar Rig and Amplitude and various other VSTs to try out different effects.
Although it has been great fun to play about with, I have found that the sounds are not quite as authentic as my amp (I have a Line 6 spider 4 amp). Also with high distortion, I experience clipping with my guitar (Schecter Damien 6 FR).
I have been looking to give the sound that little extra warmth to make it sound more realistic and have several people suggest to me that a pre amp might give it that extra kick and solve some of my sound issues.
Will a pre amp help much with this? If so, how much money would I need to spend to get a quality one? I was considering a Pod 2 which was recommended at a local guitar shop, can anyone who has experience with pre amps and recording give me some advice.
You (almost certainly) do not need a separate preamp (yet) -- you should try taking the phones/line-out from your Spider 4 and record that on your computer.Note that when you do this, you'll want switch the the input to "line" level. If you do this you should be able to capture the sounds you're getting out of the amp onto the recording, without need to use any software effects.
With respect to the clipping, you want to think about "gain staging", c.f. this Sound on Sound article on gain staging. You almost certainly do not want the pre-amps on the 2i2 to be clipping, and probably want to consider the signal levels within the effects models if that is where the clipping is occurring.
You may also want to examine how you are monitoring the sound in your recording setup. Listening to the recorded guitar through, for example, computer monitors will weaken and otherwise color the guitar sound relative to what you've come to be familiar with from your amp. Getting good speakers or headphones may improve your perception of the sounds that you are getting.
In all, you need examine the complete signal chain: from guitar to external effects (in your case the amp) audio interface, audio software & effects back out through the speakers, find the weakest link, and improve that.
as I seen here , Focusrite 2i2 already have 2 award winning pre amps! and according to my experience its not a good idea to have 2 pre amps together. this may sound so bad I tried it in a concert practice with a Dynacord mixer pre amp and a zoom pre amp.
I use a high quality headphone which capable of producing really great sound. On another computer and on various OS, it was able to produce some deep bass sound. I previously used my headphone on a Lenovo L540 (with Windows, and so Lenovo provide Windows drivers).
Though it might be a bit unstable, it hasn't been much trouble for me.The arch-wiki also suggests using pulseeffects, but I can't tell how much that will that help, as I haven't used it. You can also try that.
Such a recording could be useful evidence for when the sound occurred, but not evidence of how loud the sound was.
(As it is possible to record&EQ cracking knuckles to be as loud as cracks of thunder).
I am new aids myself, have the same model as you from Costco. In the beginning I had struggles taking phone calls thru the aids, but over time it has gotten better to point I take most calls through the aids. A lot of it was just adjusting to the way things sound thru the aids.
As several previous posters in this thread indicate, streamed bass leaks out of an open fit. You can lose as much as 30 to 40 dB of bass. An open fit has the advantage if you have good low-frequency hearing (ski slope loss) that allows environmental bass to easily reach your eardrums and sound natural.
Thanks, Jim. I will look into that. I have a follow-up appointment in about 10 days. I have this thought. Right now part of my hearing is from the HA and part from the outside world. If I go to a closed dome or a custom mold, I will be shutting out almost all outside sound. This will significantly improve my Bluetooth reception in terms of frequency response. But, will it also degrade my hearing of external sounds since I will be getting ALL of my audio via the HA??
My hat is off to Lisa and the HIS/Audi, whose name I did not get, at the West Springfield, MA Costco, who helped me without an appointment while I was traveling. I needed new dimes and wax filters, which I had left at home by mistake.
One thing that still bothers me. I had problems with the dome he tried, so he completely took the domes off. Because of the resulting large leakage, I get terrible streaming audio, so tinny and shrill it is almost painful. I intend to get him to address that at our scheduled meeting next week.
Until i got custom molds, streaming music was pretty awful. Even custom molds with large vents can sound pretty bad due to low freq leakage. In my bad ear, my mold is unvented and sounds great while streaming, probably better than my better ear that is vented slightly. Ask your audi to tweak the streaming adjustments in SmartFit to increase the lows. Using SmartFit I also have boosted lower freqs for my TV streamer and it sounds really good with crisp, clear dialog.
It took me the best part of a year to sort this out, with the help of this crowd and a really determined audi at Costco. Setting things up for normal situations improved dramatically over 6 - 8 months.
The remaining problem was TV streaming. After a few adjustments, I tested it with the resound power domes specifically for streaming. The results were remarkable. Having to change from the all day tulips to the domes is a pain, but the results are truly worth it. YMMV etc.
Need to censor or cut out parts of your audio? Our tool makes that simple. You can use the Cut button to eliminate any mistakes or dead air. You can also add beeps and other humorous sound effects if you want to censor parts of your audio easily.
You can automatically reduce background noise in a clip without reducing its overall volume. For example, if you recorded a birthday party and a plane flew overhead, you can reduce the volume of the plane to make your movie sound better.
iMovie includes a number of equalizer presets, which you can use to enhance or fix audio in your movie. For example, you can choose an equalizer preset to enhance vocal quality, or boost bass or treble in a clip.
My understanding is using an external can help if I have other SPDIF input that can sync the clock(s) on all connected devices. However just on network, there is noting to sync. Except we consider the internal clock is not as good as the external. (Which I hope it will not stay true for dCS product).
To give an example, when the clock was shut off, the entire room Frank Sinatra was in disappeared, and it was as if he was just in a small sound booth rather than a large studio (the way Frank recorded, in a large studio backed by an orchestra, all in the same room.)
You are looking a tool to improve sound quality for browser? The Sound Enhancement is a very good tool for you.You can select sound configuration, such as Pop, Jazz, Rock etc. Otherwise, you can do it manually.NOTE: If you cannot switch video to the fullscreen mode, please press F11. This is a Chromium bug that Chromium dev still cannot solve yet.Hope you enjoy it!
I was playing at a concert recently where I had the fortune on getting my hands on a 2-track recording out of the FOH mixer. I playing at a festival and all the stages recorded the acts, giving them a CD at the end of their set. Usually, a recording such as this is done straight out of the L/R OUT of the mixer. All the channels of the mixer are fed to the stereo out that's fed into a stereo recorder. The recording is then burned onto a CD for the bands to listen to.
This is a great service since every band is interested in hearing how they sounded to the audience. The only drawback is that a 2-track, dry recording straight out of the mixer doesn't really sound that great.
