Hi
I'm doing some transfers of archival material of the Salt Lake City Temple Square organ from 30 year-old 456 tapes. It's a big job involving a good deal of baking and noise stripping. Results are good to date but I have a number of heavily reverb-ed, audience-generated clunks and bangs that mar several performances. I've been told that there may be SW available that could deal to this but have no idea where to start looking. The client may well be prepared to pay so .... any ideas welcome!
Many thanks
David
(I'm using X2 to do this which justifies my being in this forum - I think :-)
 

If you have X2 producer you will also have R-Mix which can remove background sounds. 

Thanks John - but after spending time with R-Mix (X2 Prod version) I'm not finding it of much use. I've watched vids on the full-blown version and perhaps that might have more lead in it's pencil - but for removing heavily reverb-ed artifacts from a solo recording, no go.
 
Typically I'd cut and paste repeated segments but this is classical organ and repeated segments are scarce. Any other suggestions most welcome.
 
Also, I'm curious: Does anyone actually use the Sonar version of R-Mix in practice? I've found it generally poor at its intended purpose - removing/isolating vocals etc etc. Perhaps I'm missing something. It also is the only plug I have that crashes randomly.
 
Cheers
David
 
 
 

Hello,
 
Another user had a similar request in another thread... I have an associate that is a film producer that swears by and has used Izotopes RX3 http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/rx/ with great success.  If this is a big job ( paying) it sounds as if this could be your ticket. One of the specific functions that it talks about is the ability to treat reverbed audio .  IHTH.

This is a stretch......Could you copy/paste the offending noises to another track, flip the phase and get them to cancel each other out?

RX3 is great. I loved RX2, have been playing with RX3 lately, and got to see a great demo of it by the iZotope guys at an audio convention. You should definitely try our the trial version.

Hi guys
Been demo-ing the RX3 trial for the last 2 hours and if this is not love then I don't know what is.
I simply can't believe what I'm doing here!
Thanks for the the tip!

+1 for Izotope RX ... which you appear to have embraced already.  Let us know how the end-product works out :-)

The only question is whether I can justify the full-blown version. 
If there was a button called "Prolonged Coughing Fits" I'd take no persuading :-)

I hear you.  I enjoyed the trial version so much but couldn't justify the cost of it just yet, even though I want it for "those occasions".  I feel that the advanced version would be worth it if 
(a) you need those advanced tools (well, duh)
(b) you have time to really learn those advanced tools and use them effectively
(c) you can justify the cost in terms of paying clients or true personal satisfaction as a hobby.
 
I couldn't yet see myself qualifying on that criteria, but for pure gear lust I know I want it and need it, hehe ;-)
