[request] Audio Restoration
Today i was given a tape of my grandmother. It was recorded at her church in the mid nineties, about a month before she died of lung cancer.
This is the first time i have heard her voice since she died. I recorded it and cleaned it up as best i could... but i didn't do a very good job.
It contains your typical evangelical christian message... it may be nonsense.... but it has brought me to tears... will you help me clean it up?
i just want to be able to hear her voice clearly... one last time.

Save it as a .wav and re-upload it and I'll get to it after my bike ride. I've done forensic audio for a living in the past and have a better studio than anybody here. But it's Mac-based and WMAs make baby Jesus cry.
holy shit.

thank you.
So it was a pretty fucked up file. You knew that.
I didn't cook off the noise completely because I lost too much sibilance on her voice when I did that. And her mic technique wasn't the best, either, so it isn't perfect. And the mic itself was fairly garbage, too. That said, I hope this is what you were looking for.
This sounds quite good. It could use a little de-essing and some compression but it is well done. hi5
Seriously, dude. Go fuck off.
Are the keyboards for the creepy music in every crime drama?
Mostly space dramas so far.
drool
That is all.
WOW! Nice office!
Is there any hope for this clip?
I have the "original" but it's still just as fucked.

ha! you can have your better studio when you dont have it sitting in a bedroom. Cool Front 242 poster though!
Like Firefly?
Yeah, Mike Edmondson works out of a bedroom.
How 'bout Heroes? Wendy & Lisa work out of a bedroom, too.
Matter of fact, the only guys I know who don't work out of a bedroom are the guys who work out of some other goddamn room. How 'bout Paul Massey? Holy shit! He's got a rig at his house, too!
Now why don't you go fuck off somewhere else?
Wow. you have some anger issues to deal with huh? I am so sure you get accurate imaging, and a good idea of what your reverb is actually doing with a mirror next to your fucking head. I am not saying you cannot produce shit in a bedroom but when your first post to a thread is douche to the extreme by saying "...and have a better studio than anybody here." YOU are the one who needs to fuck off.
I'm mixing on nearfields at 80 dB. The reflections in the room are completely and utterly moot. The soundfield in that space is considerably smaller than said space. I billed out at $220 an hour for five years as an acoustical consultant so that I could tell people when they don't need to worry about trivial shit like what, exactly, the walls are made out of when you're listening to 5" woofers.
Now go back to the Art Institute and sweep some more frequencies looking for feedback because you never learned to recognize the difference between a 600Hz tone and a 1kHz tone, you tedious little wanna-be.
