Thanks Norman:

Great info. How would I be able to attain 105db with a 0db signal? I have been trying to control the signals and have not been able to do so. I thought that the Wave Hammer Surround was it, but it’s not that efficient in limiting the signals. Any suggestions?

Many thanks,

Debbie

Thanks John and Neil:

I was experimenting and went back to the original audio that was not altered and dubbed it with the other metallic version. The dialogue was pumped up and I cannot hear the metallic sound. What I am thinking is that I can use the noise reduction software to remove the hiss and hums from the original and keep both tracks since the dialogue is more audible. My original problem was that the dialogue was recorded low, and when I raised the volume or normalized the file, a lot of noise was heard. I took the normalized file dropped it into Audacity and removed the surrounding noise which resulted in loss of dialogue under water sound.

Many thanks,

Debbie

Thank you Neil:

So you are saying that I should be able to accomplish this in Sony Sound Forge? What about Audacity?

My challenge is that some of the noise is with the dialogue. So although I cleaned around it, when the speaker speaks I hear a slight hiss.

Thank you for the info.

Many thanks,

Debbie

Thank you Aleksey:

I forgot that I had duplicated the monologue on a different track. That is why the dialogue came out louder.

Thank you.

Hello Everyone:

Do you think that RX3 would be able to get rid of the metallic sound that a noise removal plugin has caused, or would I need to start from scratch?

Many thanks,

Hi John:

Wow. What a difference. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed scrolling through all of those tracks. This is really great. Thank you.

The availability is recent. They just made it available a few weeks ago. Thank you for the advise on separating the audio files into separate tracks. It was tedious, but I have much more control over what’s on the timeline.

Best,

Hi Mike:

Thank you for the reference. I also saw another one of Jay Rose’s books “Audio Postproduction for Film and Video: After-the-Shoot solutions, Professional Techniques, and Cookbook Recipes to Make Your Project Sound Better” Have you read that one. My situation is definitely a post-production one.

Many thanks,

Debbie
