Group,
When I clean-up a 78 record (electric recording), my current method is to :
1. Record at 44.1 KHz 16 Bits
2. Use EzImpulse and various continuous noise filters.
3. Enhance with various effects like the VVA
I have found that the adjustment of the EzImpulse filter is critical to removing the noise without making brass (trumpets) sounds distorted...even with the solo\brass box checked.
Last night, I tried a different approach that seemed to help.
Before the usual multifilter that I use for 78's, I did a pre-filter. The pre-filter is to :
1. Convert to 96 KHz. 16 bits
2. Run the EzImpulse that I use for LP's
3. Convert back to 44.1 KHz
This pre-filter seems to clean up a lot of the noise and thus let the 78 filters that I used in the past work better and not have as much distortion with the brass. While the best method may have been to make my initial recordings at 96 KHz, I didn't and since I have 6000 plus songs....I will not be re-doing the original recordings.
We have talked in the forum before about how the impulse filters work better at 96 KHz, and it seems that the DC8 software and make a pseudo 96 KHz sampling pretty good from the 44.1 KHz material.
Also, the ratio between 44.1 and 96 isn't an integer, maybe that even better for some reason ?
