Nice one, Bill!

There is Celemony’s Melodyne. It’s not about extraction, it’s about pitch modification, but you can “erase” individual notes and overtones.

I’ve found it very interesting, but either I need to take a sabbatical to learn its depths (as one might learn Photoshop) or I have reached its limitations.

iZotope’s RX3 Advanced is about noise reduction. Again, not file extraction. Once you get rid of it, it’s gone.

What I have been able to do occasionally, is shocking! 🙂 If you have the time, please stick your face into these and report back to us with your findings!

Hello Ian,

What you’re describing is called excessive sibilance. It’s more common in women than men.

It very well could be just the way they speak. What you’re looking for is a de-esser plugin.

I believe FCP 7 has one, but it’s a bit clunky.

🙂 Then your answer is fairly simple.

If you’re not going to get better mics, then learn to handle the mics you have more gently.

Find some sort of cushioned adhesive-backed material. Moleskin, maybe. Wear gloves.

Or, back to square one, get the right gear for the job.

OK,

These are low dollar mics that attempt to look like an SM58. So clones. No guarantees that they bear ANY resemblance to an SM58.

Yes, your mics are unbalanced. I doubt a simple mono to stereo adapter will work. In fact, a dynamic mic may not work well because all dynamic mics are low in sensitivity compared to condenser mics. Because of this, if the camera preamp has not been designed to provide good, clean, quiet gain, you will be unhappy with the results.

That means the mics themselves may be the problem. Brian or Craig gave you a list of professional mics used for this type of job. Perhaps this is the time to begin building a proper audio kit. These are professional mics. They require a cable with female XLR on one end and a 1/8″ TRS on the other that has been specially wired with pin 2 to the tip and ring. Tip and ring will connect to the left and right camera inputs properly. This connection puts the audio on both tracks of your camcorder.

What city are you in?

January 18, 2014 at 10:57 pm in reply to: Variable shutter speed

John & Todd Thanks so much for the gentle tutorial.

I get every word and point!

I’m just wondering what they had in mind to have what seems to be such high and variable shutter rates possible on this camera. Could it simply be a “because we can” thing. Or are there uses for 1/1000 other than the Private Ryan effect? BTW, how far up do you suppose they goosed it up to to get that effect?

Regards,

Ty Ford

January 10, 2014 at 2:53 am in reply to: Matching the audio from a past shoot

Hello Mike and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Both clips sound a little crunchy (distorted) to me, but the second one sounds more distorted and is louder.

Does the original audio sound like that?

I would apply something like iZotpe’s RX3 DeClipper to reduce the distortion and then reduce gain on the December file so the two match.

Hello Todd and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

I believe they use different transmit/receive schemes, so even if they did occupy the same frequencies, they would probably not work.
