Editing out FOREGROUND noise on a recording
So on my iPhone, I have voice recorded my friend playing guitar, but people are talking and watching things and he's playing in the background. I would like to know if there's a way, certain programs or if someone could even possibly do it for me. How do I get rid of the voices and everything in the foreground so you can JUST hear the guitar playing in the background? He has since had an operation on his wrist and won't be able to play for a long time so I wanted to do something special for him and send him just his work on the guitar.
Please someone if you have any ideas, I would be extremely grateful!
I have tried Audacity and Sony Sound Forge, but nothing allows me to get rid of foreground talking.
Sorry to say it, but you are probably out of luck. When you record everything together all at once like you did, it records everything to a single audio track. Once you do that, there's really no way to pick out the foreground noise and delete it.
Audacity would require you to play around a fair bit and there's nothing that would just automatically do it for you, you may be able to make it quieter with something like Virtual DJ but to be fair, you're best bet is actually audacity, you could also try Wave Pad although I have not tried it for this kind of thing exactly they do have fairly easy features for this type of purpose I can't guarantee the quality though, but in any case it's not something you can do in a couple of hours, from personal experience I can tell you it's a pain to do, I have spent weeks in some cases, trying to completely remove all sorts of noise from audio.
Hope this was some sort of help.
- What is a good audio editing software for Mac to remove background noise? I want to remove some of the background noise from some recordings I have of my college class's lecture that I recorded on my phone. I was curious if there are any programs for Mac that audiophiles would recommend. It would mostly be removing any sharp noises in the background that are distracting like doors closing or people coughing. Also, if it matters, I was curious if there were iPhone apps for recording that would improve my ability to do this other than the built in voice memos app?
- What causes the rattling noise in the new iPhone 5 and is it bad it makes this noise? Near the proximity sensor when i shake the phone back and forth something inside rattles and it is beginning to concern me.
- What are some of the best photo editing, video editing and video cartoon apps for the iPhone? I'm fairly savvy at editing, (i think lol) I'm just drowning in a pool of apps in the App Store, and I don't know which ones would work well… I'm also looking for an app that will turn video or picture into cartoon (nice cartoon, vivid colors and nice filters, that do not leave the video looking like a "sketchy" or "grungy". Any help is greatly appreciated!
- What are some good photo editing/graphic editing apps for iPhone? I already use bazaart, picsart, afterphoto and fontcandy for my graphics that I make on tumblr but I was wondering if there was anything out there more advanced? I tried the photoshop app but it's not that great to me. Any suggestions?
