iZotope have stretched from software into hardware and showed their noise reduction unit ANR-B at NAB. I’ve talked about it before but up until now only a prototype has been shown.
From the iZotope press release
ANR-B uses iZotope’s advanced noise reduction technology to intelligently identify and suppress environmental broadband noise, hum, phone line artifacts and more, dramatically increasing the quality of audio broadcasts involving radio call-in programs and on-location broadcasting. Unlike other noise reduction solutions, iZotope’s ANR-B actually detects noise in real-time and adapts to changing noise over time, allowing for automatic operation with little to no input required from the user.

Are you familiar with Ambrosia Software? If not, let me tell you that they make some very competent tools. Two that from the looks of them could be very good for podcasting. I actually use one of them of a regular basis.

In the previous post I demonstrated how one can clean up a rather noisy track. While certainly not ideally recorded, it’s definitely not a worst case scenario. Here I have the same original file, followed by a limited, and a limited then denoised again file.
It’s up to you which of these five files you personally prefer.
You might want to turn down your speakers a little for the limited files. They’re loud.

Here’s an example of some really noisy dialog. With it is two versions of it cleaned up. When doing these things one has to be careful not to remove too much of the noise and interfering with the voice itself.
The first file is the original, the second is with some noise removed, and the third is with a little more noise removed. It’s from a video diary where the camera was used to capture the sound as well.
