Who has a tool box with only one tool? Studio Recorder does a great job doing what it was written to do, live recording of books in a clean recording environment. And the technical support is the best I have ever experienced. It is an incredible value for the cost, especially for what we do at the Talking Book service. The only other option we had at the time I started using SR was 16 times the cost! So Thank you SR.

Go to: www.audacity.sourceforge.net Download the 3.x version. Although it is officially "beta" it is very stable and close to official "release". The 3.x versions have been optimized for use with keyboard shortcuts and works well with a screen reader. You may also find the following URL useful because it contains a good summary of how to use the features of Audacity from the keyboard: http://vip.chowo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/jaws/Audacity-1.3.3-Guide.html There are special plug-ins that come with Audacity that will enable you to remove "noise" (after you sample the "noise" so audacity knows what to look for), equalization filters to reduce or enhance certain frequencies, normalize, etc. Our ViewPoints podcast also featured Audacity in show #1107: ViewPoints 1107 2-16-11 Audacity, audio described programming, etc This week hosts Peter Torpey and Nancy Goodman Torpey talk about identifying your clothing (using Braille, buttons, .), audio described programming (Movies, Television, Live theater) and blindness Websites & DL's. The focus item is about Audacity (getting & installing the program and using it to record streaming internet and/or yourself).

I am recording a bunch of old cassettes using Studio Recorder. I have been then using GoldWave for its hiss filter, which works just okay, and that is with the hiss filter down to 35%, because anything above that starts to distort the music. Does the Audacity audio editor have a better hiss filter? -----Original Message----- From: studiorecorder-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:studiorecorder-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Torpey Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 5:42 AM To: studiorecorder@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [studiorecorder] Re: removing hiss in studio recorder I don't think Studio Recorder is able to do this. You might try the Audacity audio editor that works pretty well with keyboard commands. Go to: www.audacity.sourceforge.net and download the 3.x version. Although it says the 3.x version is "beta", it has been optimized for use with a keyboard and is very stable. Audacity has a number of "plug-ins" that will allow you to remove noise and perform other functions. It would be nice if Studio Recorder could someday be made to enable the use of third-party plug-ins in order to leverage the work others have done and, thus, easily enhance its capabilities. I'd also like to see some more sophisticated multi-track capabilities in Studio Recorder like one finds in Audacity. Even for speech applications I think this would be useful as the other tools for producing podcasts and the like become more sophisticated as these means of communicating mature. --Pete -----Original Message----- From: studiorecorder-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:studiorecorder-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Armando M Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 8:02 AM To: studiorecorder@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [studiorecorder] removing hiss in studio recorder Hello, I was wondering, if it was possible to remove hiss within a wav file using studio recorder? I would like to be able to edit some files I recorded from a cassette onto my pc and get rid of the hissing and popping the file has. Thanks and any suggestions would much be appreciated. Armando
