The main problem i created for myself was volume variations caused by distance from the mic, and now i am trying to fix it. When interviewing the american ex-member of the band, i had the isight mic in between us and i decided not to shoot video, but i followed the extraction process to make the process as similar as possible - meaning i recorded a video (but i just had the camera facing the floor) and extracted the sound. So when i interviewed the band, they were quite far away from the mic because i had to put them in front of the isight for the video recording, and i was right behind the isight cam asking them questions. in retrospect, i should have just used the isight microphone to record sound, and used my analog sony cam-corder to take the video for later possible usage (really poor planning). The problem i had with making this podcast was mostly bad planning.įor my narration im right in front of my isight mic.įor the interview with the band, i couldnt decide wether i was going to include video or not, so i used the isight cam to record video, and i later extracted the audio with QT pro. The farther away you are the more noise you introduce. For best results in the audio, stay close to the mic. Its sounds like you used the isight mic and moved around a lot. If nothing else I would run the hi-pass filter (step 1) in Audacity and then multiband and dynamics in GB. Then I insert the processed track into Garage Band. I do my recording in Audio HiJack, voice processing in Peak, Audacity, or Amadeus.
So I would do the processing in another tool if you have one available. Now this requires 3 - 4 insert effects for one voice track. AU Dynamics Processor: take advantage of the noise gate and reduce the background noise and boost the output gain a bit more.
That said, this is really icing on the cake.
#Amadeus pro compression free
This is a free plugin but it is VST so you need an application that offers VST plugin support - Amadeus II or Amadeus pro on the Mac are the cheapest options on the mac - $30-$40 US. MDA bandisto VST plugin top get some sparkle in the high frequencies. You really have to play with the rest of the settings to see where they match your voice best.ģ. AU Mulit-band compressor setting the attack rate to zero and mild output gain (5-7db). Hi pass filter or graphic eq to gradually filter out content below 75- 80hzĢ. If your not interested in checking it out in detail here is what he is suggesting these processing steps on the vocal track:ġ. You can find the podcast and screen shots of the effects used at Metadata is lost when saving to the AAC ADTS format, but it is preserved when saving to the three other formats. Amadeus Pro will downmix multitrack documents it to a mono or stereo file, whichever is more suitable. He goes through this step by step and I ask a lot of questions along the way. These are different container formats that are primarily used to save data compressed with the lossy AAC compression algorithm. He basically gives a master class on processing the voice. I just finished a two part interview in my podcast with Rick Pepper, an veteran audio engineer on speech processing.
