Hey folks, i was wondering if u guys could tell me what is the way to remove noise/background music from vocals i record. The recorded stuff is not very good sometimes because of noises. I hv many nice stuff i hv been recording for a while using a microcassete tape recorder, then i use the microfone from the computer to record it to the pc.
What frequencies should i remove, to keep just the vocals? Is there any great vst that could do the job? Help me fellows hehe, if u know a link here in da forum its fine too! Thanks a lot, stay nice  |

You can try to cut the higher frequencies. They usually carry the most hiss.
 Everyone in the world is doing something without me |

Your best bet is to use the presets on EQ's & Compressors.
The Soundforge Plugins have a decent variety of "noise filter"/"Hum Removal" presets. Whether you're using the Soundforge EQs or the Waves package or whatever, use the one with as many bands as possible. (I.e. 10-band EQ instead of 4) That will give you more options for precise control over what frequencies to cut. Generally there's more specific presents for 10-band EQs vs. a simple 4 band.
But like Pavel said, cutting the high frequency to kill the hiss is about it, plus maybe 1 or 2 specific frequencies. Once the highs are cut, run it through a multiband compressor to beef it up a little, but frankly, if a sample is 'dirty' there's only so much you're going to be able to do.
I've heard of the 'stereo-phase' method to remove background music, maybe someone can post a link for that but I remember that being really, really complicated... If a sample is going to take tons of production work just to get audible, you're probably better off spending that time & effort on your track's music rather than a voice sample... I have tons of clips that I thought would be cool but just didn't work out...

I think recording it with a microphone (especially a computer microphone) probably won't do your samples much good. Can't you connect the tape recorder to your PC with a cable?
(See other people's comments about noise removal).

if u have a moment in the recorded audio where the noise is solo, u can use a denoiser... U just point him the noise where it is solo, and then the denoiser will try to remove the sound u pointed it to out of the whole file. U can adapt the parameters to decide how strict or how loose the denoizer should do this |
