Nawledge Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Clean up noise and crackles as well as normalize multiple audio files at once? I just want to take a folder full of 50 samples and get rid of the background noise of all of them at the same time instead of one by one. then normalize them all at the same time.

Alndln Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Sound Forge has better than average noise reduction plugs,but the best Iv'e tried is the Waves Restoration Bundle period. "A Robot Playing Trumpet Blows" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Hepworth Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Steinberg has good click and crackle removal and noise reduction, but Sonic Foundry noise reduction is actualy better. Haven't tried the Waves yet. No matter how good something is, there will always be someone blasting away on a forum somewhere about how much they hate it.

jackpine Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 The answer is yes. Both Sound forge and Wavelab have batch functions. I have been using the sound forge plugs to do a ton of vinyl restoration. Haven't used waves noise reduction plugs yet. www.relayerstudios.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogfur Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Sound Forge 5.0 batch converter sucks ass -I have to use the integrated version from 4.5 to get anything done if you are converting bit depth. Woof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 For the money you can't beat Cool Edit 2000 w/ the Audio Clean-up plug-in @ $118 for both. Sound Forge doesn't have built-in noise reduction last time I checked. Check out http://www.syntrillium.com/ for more info and demos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uh Clem Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 The batch process in Wavelab works very well. I like the Sonic Foundry NR2.0 and Waves Restoration (free demo that works for several days - probably enough time to get through your batch). The problem with trying to do 50 files of clean-up is that typically you get a noise print and tailor the NR to the material. Crackle might be a little easier, but still you'll want to tweak the thresholds. Maybe you can find a setting that works across a batch. Maybe find both the best and worst file for testing and then hope that the stuff in the middle is OK.

fantasticsound Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I have to second Stevepow's observation. Noisereduction plugs are not a vanilla, single answer for every question type of process. Using identical settings for any two samples will give you varied results depending on the program material and noise characteristics. What works for one, may decimate the audio quality on the next. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nawledge Posted January 30, 2003 Author Share Posted January 30, 2003 Damn, thanks everybody. I guess the easy way out is not the right way out. I run the silent bob program on a computer hooked up to a tv, international radio, and stereo. its constantly recording and when ever i hear something that I want I just press save and catch it, but I have to start cleaning up the samples, changing bitrates and creating mono files. I hate doing tedious stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
