noise reduction and holophonic sound
I'm trying to two things. I know there are ways it can be done but with applications I don't have at the moment so I want to know if there are ways to achieve similar results with what I have before acquiring new applications. Right now I'm working on FCP 5 with Soundtrack (non-Pro version) and I just got Logic 7 express.
1) I'm trying to isolate and remove particular sounds like hums and buzzes. I know it can be done in Soundtrack Pro and Sound Forge. Here's a link to how its done on soundtrack pro: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/...reduction.html 2) Manipulate sound like in the following link where it pans up and down. Someone said it was done in Logic Pro using surround sound. http://www.2loop.com/hsound.html (Listen to it with headphone) |

I thought that was like an binaural recording.
You just place 2 microphone elements exactly where your ears are and start recording. Playback with headphones. It's nice effect... would it work being played thru speakers? |

The file kind of works without headphones but you dont get the up and down effect as much. |

I actually made my own binaural stereo microphone with a cheap pair of over the ear headphones from Radio Shack.
You just replace the un-solder the individual speaker element from the headphones and replace them with the microphone element which you can also buy from Radio Shack. I think I used the PC Mount Condenser Microphone Element-- Catalog #270-090. You need two pieces at $2.59 each. http://www.radioshack.com/search/ind...ne%20condenser You then plug the microphone stereo jack into your stereo recorder. [Don't ask me about Phantom power or anything like that..] You might check this out: http://www.binaural.com/binfaq.html The last time I used them, I wore them like headphones and started recording ambient sounds etc. Playback of these recordings are a joy. |

You can buy binaural microphones pre-made for about sixty bucks.
I haven't had a chance...but I was thinking of taking my camcorder out into the city and wearing those binuaral microphones and feeding it directly into the stereo mic input on my PDX-10 and shooting some video. Things like jackhammers, subway cars, firetrucks should sound fun. |
