I need to find some good noise reduction plugins that dont just lower decible levels and smooth the audio over. i need some pro noise reduction plugins, I'm willing to hear any of your suggestions

thanks,
Andy

I have owned my O2R for 2 years and never heard this "popping/clicking" noise. (24 tracks/3 ADAT cards/new cords)

here's a setup I use at home, mainly for personal acoustic/electric tracks.

samson co1 condensor mic
art v3 studio tube preamp
edirol 2 channel usb interface
compaq desktop, athlon 3200, 1gb ram

On really bad live recordings, there is an "ambient" noise around everything. You can tell it was recorded live. Sounds like all the mics were tracked through a tin can.
Is this the result of poor mics?
I am getting an AW4416, and want to start recording the local bands, do I need to start buying my own gear or get proficient in using the house gear.

I recently got the emu-1820 sound card and began toying around with it. I plugged my bass in a just strummed a string to test that it was recording... and this is what resulted. a horrible sounding waverform with all sorts of jagged peaks. now i've had such horrible luck with multitracking. before i had the MOTU 828 with my celeron laptop, and i got similar clicks and pops.

Crew,

Hello everyone !

I was wondering what Noise Reduction system (software or hardware) mastering facilities are using ? Also, if it is hardware, where exactely in the chain it is placed ?

Many thanks ! I am learning so much from you guys !

What are some of your best tips for obtaining a good, clear, "noiseless" sound floor?

can one of you experts explain signal-to-noise ratios, like why exaclty peak levels are at -db, what about spl? I have a pretty good concept of them all, but no idea how they interconnect, or why they are really important. thanks!

Hey there, Im running a small studio in my house, and I find that my Peavey studio 112 amp is a lot noiser in my house than it was in the store :(

its really not an issue for recording, as the noise doesnt carry over into my recordings so much, its just white noise from EMI etc

I'd just leave it alone, but it kind of annoys me when Im just playing around with my guitar
