How I can delete GREAT AMOUNTS of hiss and noise? -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:How I can delete GREAT AMOUNTS of hiss and noise? Posted by: juan2003 Date:3/15/2004 9:25:39 AM Hi!! This is the trouble: I've recorded many Sound Tracks form a video cassette (VHS). (1997) The sound tracks was recorded in speed EP and these records are MONO. Is very difficul can delete the great amountS HISS AND NOISE, because if I put the controls of Noise Reduction at top, the hiss and noise are reduced in a 80% but the sound original is distorted in a 75%. Even, I use Noise Reduction for reduce the noise, I use also Track EQ and Graphic EQ for compensate the distortion, but the sound original is always ditorted in a 75%. I've use Cool Edit Pro 2.0. and the great amouts of hiss and noise are deleted in 95%, and soon edit the sound tracks in Sound Forge 7.0. I would like to do all the edition in Sound Forge and using the Plug-Ins own of Sony. Please, give me helps and suggestions. Thanks. :) Juan.

After some tweaking the software manages to filter out the unwanted contribution. Furthermore Virtos Noise reduction works nicely too, especially when setting up notch filters to attenuate the bands which are undesired. Bye - Kevin ***

Example: Process three times @ -10dB opposed to once @ -30dB. Be sure you get an acturate noise print. With high amounts of background noise there will always be some kind of undesirable artifact. Usually a flanging type sound . It's a trade-off.
