How to Get Rid of Audio Hiss

Remove audio hiss for clearer sound. Jupiterimages/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images Audio hiss can reduce the clarity of a recording's sound. To remove audio hiss, you can use an audio editor software program such as Audacity, Sonar or Peak Pro. These audio programs make it possible to clean up the audio sound and improve the clarity of the individual voices in the audio. To remove hiss, you will need to highlight a section of the audio that is pure noise, then run the program to find and remove the noise from the recording.

Step 1 Install and open your audio editing program. You can do this by double-clicking the application icon.

Step 2 Drag the audio file you would like to edit into the application. This will import your audio and prepare it for editing. Some applications might require that you use the "File" menu and select the "Import" option. In that case, select "Import" and browse the file on your computer. Then select the file and press "OK" to import the file.

Step 3 Highlight a few seconds of pure noise from the audio file by clicking, holding the mouse down, then dragging your cursor over the noise in the audio track.

Step 4 Select "Get Noise Profile" from the "Effects" menu. This will analyze the noise and close the dialog box. Then open the "Get Noise Profile" option again and click "OK."

Step 5 Choose the "High Pass Filter" from the "Effects" menu. In the "Cutoff frequency" box, type in the number "65." This will remove most hissing, which occurs at frequencies below 65 hertz. If 65 hertz doesn't remove the hissing, continue to increase the value by 15 hertz until the hissing is removed.

List of Musical Techniques and Their Meanings

Musical techniques are the building blocks of any basic music training. These techniques allow performers to improve their coordination and develop accuracy through repetitive daily exercises. Musical techniques progressively build upon previously learned techniques. Scales Scales form the basis for other musical techniques. Student may study major and minor scales as well as modern scales, such as the whole-tone and octatonic scales. A scale consists of patterns of half steps and whole steps. These whole steps and half-step arrangements will be different for each scale. Scales are musical techniques that can help a performer to play faster and more accurately, and make learning new pieces easier. Chords Chords require knowledge of major and minor scales. Chords come in several different forms that affect the sound. Triads consist of three notes spaced a third apart and classified as major, minor, augmented and diminished chords. Seventh chords build on triads and have an additional no

Why Claude Debussy Never Cared About Music Theory

  Claude Debussy was born on August 22, 1862. So, I felt writing a blog post to celebrate would be appropriate. Debussy was a revolutionary composer who challenged the conventions of Western music. He was influenced by the impressionist painters, the exotic sounds of gamelan music, and the symbolist poets. He created a musical language that was expressive, colorful, and atmospheric. One of the most remarkable aspects of Debussy's music is his use of harmony. He did not follow the rules of tonality and functional harmony that dominated the music of his time. Instead, he used modes, scales, chords, and parallel movements that created a sense of ambiguity and fluidity. He also experimented with timbre, texture, rhythm, and form to create musical images that evoked moods and emotions. Debussy's music can inspire us to think outside the box and explore new possibilities in our own compositions. We can learn from his innovative techniques and his artistic vision. We can also apprecia

Similarities of Classical and Baroque Music

Music has evolved through the centuries and undergone drastic changes. One of the most significant transitions was from the Baroque to the Classical period of music. In this paragraph, I will compare and contrast some of the main features of these two styles, such as ensembles, instrumentation, and counterpoint study. The Baroque and Classical periods of music have many similarities. While the style of music changed drastically, certain key elements remained the same between the two styles. Composers in the Classical period sought to simplify music and create clearly audible musical lines. In contrast, composers from the Baroque period were interested in creating complex and highly ornamented musical lines. The Baroque period occurs from approximately 1600 to 1750, and the Classical period extends from 1750 to 1820. Ensembles Ensembles are groups of musicians that perform together. Both the Baroque and the Classical period had similar types of ensembles, such as operas, orchestras, str
