background noise
I’m in the middle of Wisconsin with very sparse internet. Could someone take this short wave file and with iZopope tell me if the audio is salvageable. It was Sarah interviewing a young girl in a fish factory with lots of background noise.
Thanks.

I don’t have iZope, but Sound Forge NR knocked off 6dB of the BG noise

Thanks Steve, Stephen, and Graham (whom I talked to on skype) Looks like it is salvageable. Thanks all for your help. Sarah and I are in our RV traveling around Wisconsin and it’s quite difficult to take care of all the technical issues that come up. Being able to salvage this audio will keep us from having to shoot it again.
Thanks again.

I sort of like background noise as long as it isn’t drowning out the dialogue with the speakers having to yell or holler over the noise.

No problem Roger…

+1 for not removing all the noise. I did a quick pass in Adobe Audition. Removed enough noise to that it wasn’t a problem but not to the point that I got digital artifacts and swishes apparent to a lay audience. Then I rolled off the highs with the 6 db knee at about 8 kHz. Then I boosted presence with a very low Q filter about 2 db at 4 kHz. The result was to bring the interview forward and kill those high-sizzle S’s in the original. Conclusion… it is definitely salvageable.
