Since I’m still (officially) a doctoral student till the end of the term, I’m going to check into an academic license for Adobe Audition. The final result is not a perfect sounding audio file, but it’s HEAPS better than the original which was barely audible and pretty bad because of background fan noise. I posted the final version on my sound blog on the post, “Honoring our Vietnam Veterans.” This evening, Adobe Audition worked great to edit my 11 minute recording to a shorter (cropped) 8 minute version, adjust the amplitude so the clapping wasn’t too loud and the rest of the audio was louder, AND remove a good bit of the background fan noise from the file.

I’ve also used The Levelator software (free) in the past to boost and “even out” the amplitude of recorded audio files. A MAJOR difference between Audition software (which IS expensive, it retails for $349) and Audacity is the ability to view and modify the spectral frequency display of an audio file, shown in the screenshot below. I have tried to use Audacity software (free) for noise removal in the past, but I’ve never had great results with it. Use the Effects tool for Noise Removal to delete those portions of audio from your file.Try and highlight only those portions of the audio file which contains those portions.Find a portion of the audio file which JUST includes the noise you want to remove.Even though both videos are for previous versions of Audition, the basics here are the same: I searched online for video tutorials about noise removal using Adobe Audition, and found two I used: This video from Jason Levine from 2009 (on Vimeo) and a video from Pogolink from 2006 (on YouTube). As a result, background noise from a nearby heater / air conditioner was VERY loud and distracting in the audio recording I made. I made a longer recording during the ceremony of the actual proceedings, but unfortunately the speaker was much quieter than the cadet who recited the poem and didn’t speak very close to the microphone.
Earlier today I shared two audio recordings from the Veteran’s ceremony and one from the KSU – OU Football game we attended this afternoon: Just as my Photo 365 blog project has helped me be more thoughtful and aware of photographic opportunities each day, my sound blog has done the same thing for potential audio recording moments. Since starting the “Sounds of My World” blog a couple months ago, I’ve been enjoying ambient audio recording in different settings. This morning I had an opportunity to attend a memorial service for Vietnam Veterans at Kansas State University, conducted by the Air Force ROTC detachment at KSU.
