How can you remove microphone noise?

Question

I just bought a microphone, but whenever I record something, there's always a hissing sound, especially when I put it loud

Answer 1

There are numerous programs that will clean hiss from digital recordings, either as the primary purpose or a secondary feature. I have used Groove Mechanic, myself. Sometimes it does amazingly well and sometimes it has undesired side effects.



It is best to avoid the noise in the first place. It is possible that the signal level from the microphone isn't adequate for your recording device. You may need preamplifier or a different microphone.

Answer 2

If you connect a mic to your computer, you should use the mic input (sometimes a pink connector), not the line input.



Second, computer microsphones are the electret condensor types. They need power, which is supplied by the connector. If you look at the plug of a computer microphone, you see three separate metal parts (tip, ring, power). If you bought a dynamic microphone (they can sound much better) you may have trouble connecting to the soundcard in the computer.



Finally, use the audio tuning wizard which is present on XP and later. Go to Control Panel - Sound and Audio Devices - click on the Voice tab, and click on "Test Hardware." AFter testing the hardware, a window shows the microphone test, which can be used to calibrate the recording colume of the microphone. Speak fairly closely into the microphone, but keep your mouth one inch from the mic element. Usually this gives good results.



Webcams have often microphones built in. They are good for conversation but not much more. For things like Skype or language training, you can buy a headset with attached microphone. When you calibrate those, they give excellent and clear results.



For real audio (vocals, instruments) recording, you should probably stay away from the computer and work with a digital (hard disk or flash) recording device. The computer is simply too noisy for good audio recording, especailly natural (unamplified) instruments. But once you have the audio recorded in digital, editing the audio on the computer works very well, especially with good software like sony soundforge.

Answer 3

The noise removing function in Audacity is desperate by using the person being waiting to isolate slightly interior the audio of merely the noise to be bumped off. to illustrate a hiss or hum between words or sections. If the noise is being generated by using the speaker you does not be waiting to isolate it - that's mixed with the content cloth. Edit: merely study your added information so which you already know this bit. the only different option i'm able to supply is to apply the photograph equalizer function to shrink the end results of the noise. as quickly as you detect the frequency variety/s the noise is in you would be waiting to shrink the point yet no longer thoroughly do away with it. (you would be stunned at how many so called "experts" don't know a thank you to apply a microphone correct. that's a pass we would desire to undergo.)
