Why isn't it an option... Posted by Steve...R (from: 194.117.133.196) on July 31, 2001 at 09:21:33: In Reply to: Picking up computer noise when recording posted by Kate Whittaker on July 31, 2001 at 07:31:21: Computers are noisy and that is that. If you have a mic then get a longer lead and move the mic away from the computer. Point it the other way. What type of mic is it? this makes a difference. Recording 'source' material is the most important part of any recording. If you pay attention to the quality of the source, then you will make the other processes of mixing and mastering a much more pleasant and rewarding experience.. Get a longer lead and stand in the other room... ;0) The chances are that the noise you are hearing is an electrical hum which isn't uncommon. This could be a standard mains hum through bad sheilding and cheap equipment, badly place cables and leads. It is easy to find out if it is by "notch filtering" 50hz (UK and Europe) 60hz (states and maybe other places). I suspect soundforge will have a filter specifically set to deal with these frequencies. Any sole vocal will not be diversly affected by reduction of this frequency unless you're louis armstrong or barry white... hehe Cya Steve....R Follow Ups: get a external device (breakout box) stephan 12:12:41 7/31/01 (1) Re: get a external device (breakout box) jon 17:30:10 8/01/01 (0) Post a Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Comments: : Computers are noisy and that is that.
