But I suspect boosting the signal at the point it comes into the PC (if that's what's being used), combined with a higher end EQ before that point, will drop that electrofuzz down to nothing, as it would not be getting boosted into prominence later with the radical EQ shaping. In any event someone who actually knows how to use it could probably target it better. It also puts a little warmth back from my EQ. I had a hard time balancing the removal with certain portions sounding over processed, but once you got the best compromise you could use a Wet FX envelope to duck the effect out when needed. I have no idea what this thing is either, but after googling I set the mode to subtract and brought the line all the way down to -110, raising it to around -92db in the higher frequencies to eliminate the buzz. I definitely think that intermittent buzz is probably related to whatever jack the signal is getting into the computer through (assuming not USB).Īt any rate, while I would attack it with an editor outside of Reaper, it looks like if that is not an option ReaFIR does an okay job removing it. I will have to sort this out at some point as a tool I need to learn. Thanks dug dog.I don't really know what is being done here with your ReaXComp thing (I've never used a compressor, apart from simple hard limiting once in a while.I lke to draw volume envelopes by hand and did not realize I could tinker with EQ through a compressor), but it sounds good and leaves more presence on the lower end than I did. And maybe this is not a good sound to you anyway.but hopefully all this helps a little! If you like the eq-ing I have done I can post a screenshot (again, it's just a random start), but it would probably make everyone else throw up with how wrong-mindedly it has been accomplished. And maybe you need a preamp and aren't using one, which actually is what it really sounds like, and which will make it hard to hear your monitoring to compare positions. This is of course on top of probable bad placement of the mic (turn up the monitoring loud in your headphones as you move it around so you can hear the differences live). It almost seems like a preamp you are using is a) insufficiently boosting gain and b) smothering the mic with room-killing eq. So I feel like maybe it's partly the way your mic is getting into your computer-not nearly enough gain, bad connection.something like that. Now that it sounds like it's out from under the pillow, you can hear some interesting static-y noise (easily removed with a de-noiser) that sounds like it's connection related, but with no real room hiss (or tone), suprisingly. (This was done in two seconds but I would normally spend hours more tweaking it through my speakers and various headphones.) This is also now a wav form (well, mp3) with lots of headroom, so plenty of room to jack it up if needed. But I feel like this is more or less what you are looking for (see linked mp3). I'm not a techhead or anything, and I spend a lot of time trying to get to "garbage in = gold out" in post (where I don't know what I'm doing either). Based on your answers, I'd like to extrapolate this to a general workflow for recording acoustic guitar with my microphone. Which FX configuration would you apply to improve the recording? Or do I need to change the way I record to get better results? Screenshots of an FX chain with specific settings for each FX node would be pretty awesome, but I'll take any general advice. The end result - which I ended up making with a combination of non-destructive editing through Reaper and some destructive editing through Audacity - still sounds fairly quiet and muffled. I played around with them but I cannot get a satisfying sound out of it. I was playing around with a combination of ReaComp (to reduce the dynamic range, since a couple of peaks seem to be keeping the overall recording quiet), ReaEQ (to fix the muffled audio by boosting certain ranges) and a limiter (in hopes of further pushing the overall volume while preventing distortion). This is a raw recording, all I did was normalize the audio. I wanna try my hand at recording acoustic guitar with a Samson C03U condenser microphone I had laying around.
