Thanks for your recording, Rich.
I tried to edit it to remove the city noise, using the same GraphicEQ
filter several times (reducing frequencies up to 1kHz), and
normalization at the end. I could take some of the noise away, but it is
difficult to know where to stop.
Try to get rid of such noise is a problem many of us are bound to face.
Wouldn't it be a interesting exercice for the list, if as many members
as possible tried their tools and skills on the same sample, then posted
the resulting samples (along with the details of the applied procedure),
in order to allow a comparison ? I am sure many of us could learn from
that.
Happy New Year everyone and many happy recordings !
