Guest April Aldrich Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 aprilaldrich@comcast.net I am recording in 8-bit u-law 8KHz mode for a telephone system. Regardless of the microphone volume adjustments I make, I can't get rid of a background buzz. I must have this recording done by 3/9/05 I'm in deep trouble. Can anyone give me some suggestions please?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have found that recording the messages at 44.1 16 bit mono and then using a command line program called 'sox' - available on line - to reduce the files, the recording sound much better. sox input.wav -r 11025 -b -u output.wav polyphase hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Khidr Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 khidr99@hotmail.com Have you tried the Noise reduction function? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have the same problem, I bought a new mic because I thought that might be the problem, but it wasn't. It isn't the speakers either. If I don't add any effects to the file, it comes out fine, but as soon as I add echo or any other effect it comes out horribly, with lots of hissing and scrathy sounds.
