RE: [Logic_Cafe] Removing ambient sound from a vocal (monologue)

Oh.. I forgot to say I used it quite successfully to remove tape hiss from a recording I had that was  copied from an LP or something...

	Hi..
	 
	Some audio editors have the ability to remove "noise".. For example Audacity has that feature.
	 
	What you do it you edit the file.. select a few second of just the noise you want removed (using the noise editor feature) and then select all the track that you want cleaned up and apply the edit and it cleans it up..
	 
	Beware  this needs playing with as sometimes you can reduce the clarity of the spoken voice or background musici etc..  but there are  more/less adjustments that can tweak this for you.
	 
	Other editors probbaly have similar features but Audacity is free (open source) so worth looking at and runs in most OS's (ala Windows, MAC, Linux)..
	 
	Steve

		Hello folks....
		Quick question here. I have an audio file of someone speaking to a church congregation. The 
		audio was pulled from a CD, and while there is no noise from the congregation, one can tell 
		the audio was recorded over the air. How can process the file such that the speakers voice 
		sounds as if it was recorded direct?
		
		Thanks in advance for any assistance given...this is a great group.
