My apologies for not posting today. I did a shootout today, comparing the latest and greatest and will do the final tests tomorrow. Don’t fret, I’ll be back tomorrow (which might actually be tonight depending on where you live) with tips on the best de-essers, perhaps some info on de-essing and… well, talking about de-essing!
This week I’ll also talk about a few other oddities among dynamic processors that can be well worth checking out for podcasters. Stay tuned!
I have launched a new music review blog called Record Rocker available at www.recordrocker.com. I will review both new and old albums (music is timeless) from both established and un-established independent artists.
In fact, if you’re doing music I’ll be happy to review it. Submitting music for review is easily done using the form here. If you don’t have an album send me your Myspace link or your bands website.
But beware! I’m a total jerk when it comes to music reviews 
I’ll not be running Record Rocker by myself. Free foe is already helping me out and more authors will join later.
If you want to do link exchanging then add www.recordrocker.com to your links, shoot me an email (stiff [at] recordrocker [dot] com) telling me you’ve done so and give me the link to your music or audio related website.
The page is still in a form of beta and the design will be modified later but I couldn’t wait to make it public!
Enjoy, and don’t forget to sign up to the RSS feed.
I just launched my Pro Tools and pro audio blog ProToolerBlog in a German edition that can be found at de.protoolerblog.com. It’s a news oriented blog, with the occasional reviews, interviews and more. If you’re interested in recording, mixing, producing, etc., etc. then go check it out.
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.

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.
