Re: [Logic_Cafe] sample out noise

2008-08-12 by GAmoore@aol.com

thats easy enough to do. Take a bit of pure noise without any music/speech. 
Create a new file from the same region. In the sample editor, reverse the 
phase. Then loop it infinitely against the audio. In theory it should cancel out 
the noise, but I doubt it will work extremely well - because the noise is 
fluctuating somewhat randomly. If the materials is speech, you can take an eq and 
cut out any frequencies below the lowest speech note, and maybe put a dip in the 
higher end hiss area too. All that for free without buying anything ..,. or 
use Soundtrack as someone suggested. If those don't work, see if there are 
trials of Bias Soundsoap, or Izotope RX, etc. I think Waves has something too - 
but Waves is always really expensive, hard to install, then has insanely high 
subscription fees for updates.
