    This was so helpful! It's important to add that the sensitivity should be higher than 0.00 when reducing lol. I didn't notice it and I was confused why nothing was changing.

    Hey, C-Threep. I tend to come across a problem where I try to get rid of the white noise, but if I raise the dB I want to reduce it by it makes the audio lose a bit of its brightest and makes it more muffled-sounding. In turn, I sometimes end up having to leave a bit of white noise in order to not affect the track. I know this is a great wall of text, but I would definitely appreciate if I can get a tip in the right direction. Thanks!

    Dude, C-Threep! When I heard you strum on your mandolin and whistle, I was like "Is that Dragon Roost? Psh nah I am just obsessing over it too much" Then I kept watching and I came to realize it was indeed! Didn't know you were a fan of zelda! Btw is that a rogue mandolin?

    Odd thing is, I actually prefer to hear the white noise. The contrast between the distorted buzz and melodic arpeggios sounds quite nice to me. Gives it that low production, garage rock sort of vibe.

    Yes Threep, Thats Works! So IF someone Already has that, then Your suggestion Does Work....I HATE The HISS !!! I Hate The Hiss in my recordings as I have some. So either ; "RE-DO!" Is in Order OR, AUDACITY! I Have Audacity Software! Its GREAT! However, From The SOURCE, to Capture a Clean Recording is Much more in Demand...Ok theres number of things, however heres some suggestions....are WIRES from other gear & components Crossing each other??...that can cause that "white noise'..and that white noise HISS is EMI....Electromagnetic Interference..and The Boss NS2 Noise Suppressor (noise gate), ($99 New). When theres HISS, It can & WILL Prevent that from the Source! And If You got HUM, An Electro-Harmonix HUM Debugger WILL STOP the HUM, from the Get-Go! ($125) AND To Guarantee No 60 cycle HUM and NO RFI/EMI & NO HISS & NO Pollution to Our Audio; The FURMAN Power Conditioner & surge protector...

    Any idea where this type of editing is available on Cubase 5? can only seem to find a "Noise gate"

    • @cThreep
      @cThreep  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hmmm...no clue. I looked it up on Google and didn't find anything. I've also seen it called Noise Reduction, don't know if that helps. But, a Noise Gate can be helpful in a sense that, when applied, it doesn't play back any noise below a certain volume level. So you could use the effect to only play back louder sounds and omit the quieter sounds in the background. It's not the same effect as a noise remover, but give it a try and see if it helps.

    • @cThreep
      @cThreep  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      StillGotShit4Brains Really? The Yeti is known for having minimal background noise. If you turn the gain knob all the way down that usually solves the issue. Every time I turn up the gain knob I get a lot of background noise.

    • @StillGotShit4Brains
      @StillGotShit4Brains 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Something weird happens when I cut out all of the background noise on audacity. It somehow affects the pan and the balance between bass (who has the tendency to sound really boomy) and high notes, what should I do?

    • @cThreep
      @cThreep  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      und9r Hmmm, perhaps just don't apply as much noise reduction. It can get a bit screwy if some of the settings are set too high. Without being able to hear and adjust the effect myself I'd say just mess with the other perameters and hit the "preview" button often to see if it fixes the issue before applying the effect.
