Hey Vojtech,

Is there any chance you can increase the amount of time the threshold capture captures for. I know we can use the shift key to get a longer capture, but it's still very short. For noise reduction and other purposes it can be useful to get a really long term average. How about if you shift click, it captures for as long as you hold the mouse? Or shift-click starts the capture, and clicking again stops. This way we can get really good average noise profiles.

Thanks!

Hi warrior

,

I'll check, but it was on the table at least once and cancelled, I don't remember why though. Personally I think it is not really necessary - if the noise is fluctuating more, then no analysis will save you really, you'll just get average, which will work "differently", not better.

How about an example... I make a recording that has noise in the background. I leave the recording running so that there is some 'clean' noise at the end of the file that i can use to capture. The noise itself has a few nasty constant hums at different frequencies. It also has some changing background sounds like car noises or people. I want to get rid of the hums, the changing background noises I am okay with as I will need to eq for each.

If i capture a long enough section of noise, the averaging will ignore the changing room tone and car noises as they are only occasional, but the constant hums will clearly be identified so I can use spectral dynamics to remove them very easily. If i do a short capture (as it is now) it will create a capture of a small slice of the noise and this may be right when a car is driving past or a rumble is happening. Does that make sense?

Another example, is I could take a capture of an entire song or sound and use spectral dynamics to compress or expand the average frequencies present. I'm not sure how useful this would be, but I feel like there could be some interesting sound design or mastering possibilities with this.

Thanks for listening!

Hmmm, makes some sense

Ok, so done

, will be available in the major update. The button will start the analysis and stop it when clicked again.

Hah, nice! Thanks for being so receptive!

My pleasure

Just wanted to say thanks for doing this, I just noticed it was added in v9. I just had to clean up a file and was having difficultly getting rid of the noise in Audition (which is built for this sort of thing)... I tried MSpectralDynamics capturing a bigger section of noise and it worked almost invisibly, like, amazingly well. The 'diff' function really helps to tell what you're removing too.

So, thought i'd give you a thumbs up

Are there any videos of MSpectralDynamics being used for noise removal? I'd like to see/hear this in action.

EDIT: nevermind, found it.
