Hi David,
Interesting. To my ear there is quite a lot of distortion and "space monkeys"
from the noise reduction process.
I've posted an similar section from that recording with noise reduction done in
Izotope RX2. I used a short section of hiss which had -- as far as I could hear
-- only hiss as the base sample for the noise reduction, and have left the
settings at defaults. Providing you can get a clean section of baseline noise
RX2 can work wonders.
I think if you were able to use a "bunker" sample of mic/preamp system noise as
a baseline sample for RX2 the results could be very good indeed.
The original recording being used suffers a little as the Oade mod on the HDP2
exposes some very low level, non-steady state, system noise which can't be
removed by this process. Fortunately it is only really apparent in very quiet
recordings played back at high gain.
