Hi!
How do you all reduce noise in a recording that has echoes?
The first thing that disappear when reducing noise is the echo of the sound=
s. At least it feels like that... :)
I just try to avoid NR when there is echo in a nature recording, but someti=
mes you aren't close enough to the source so you want to increase gain in p=
ost, but then you will get a lot of noise (depending on how quiet your micr=
ophones are of course).
Here is one edited example where some of the echoes is affected by NR. http=

This was a fast edit that took only a minute or so.
Increase gain 5db
Noise Reduction 5db
EQ low cut
Fade in/out
Description:
The recording is made in the middle of Sweden at the edge of a lake in a bo=
real forest and wetland area at night, and it is loons in the lake that you=
hear most. A forest mice is close to the mic running around.
I usually have the mic close to the ground, but I tried to avoid to much no=
ise from forest mice so I used a gorilla pod to attach the microphone on a =
branch around 180cm above ground and close to the water.
My basic question is, can you increase gain and reduce noise without destro=
ying the echoes?
If someone wants to have a go at it (increase gain, reduce noise, echoes in=
tact), contact me off list and I can send the original wav file.
