okay, you can use a some software that's out there such as sonic foundry's noise reduction plugin-$279.00. you can use a noise gate, The VST (Virtual Studio Technology) system allows third party developers to produce real-time effect modules that could 'plug in' to a host application. ACID Pro 4.0 acts as a host for VSTi plugins, or dx plugin(direct x--Simply put, DirectX is a Windows technology that enables higher performance in graphics and sound when you’re playing games or watching video on your PC.
At the core of DirectX are its application programming interfaces, or APIs. The APIs act as a kind of bridge for the hardware and the software to "talk" to each other.
okay, just though that you might want to know a little terminology. in one of your posts you had mentioned you didn't know how to explaine what you wanted to do in the recording terminology. from what i gathered, what you want to do is
1. make the beats-produce-
2. record the vocals, beats and put them together-engineer-
there are different types of engineers. there are tracking, mixing and mastering engineers. some people start out in that order. tracking is basically making adjustments to a recording as it is (being recorded). an example of tracking would be to add a little compression or cutting some eq while the performer is well, performing. mixing is the oppossite to tracking. you add and take away to an (already recorded track or set of tracks). the objective is to get the signal as high and clean as possible for your target audience. i don't want to go any deeper into mixing than that for right now. mastering is the finishing touch on an (already mixed) recording. mastering fixes (some) of the things that were not mixed properly. you use related equipment, but the most of the equipment works under different algorithiums. in mastering you add and take away from the whole song because during the (mixing) stage you combined all of the tracks from the (tracking stage). so you see, you can't just add sibilance to a snare and not add it to any other ingredient in the song. mastering can boost that signal from a dull mix to something that can be played on the radio, tv, or cd.
to my knowledge there are different principles involved. once again i don't want to get off any deeper into that.
now this brings us back to noise reduction. you asked for low end to high end. well i won't quote any more prices like i did above but i will tell you a few alternatives. you can get the noise reduction plugin from sonic foundry, you can use a noise gate plugin, this is sometimes included in the editing program. there are other noise reduction plugins from other companies, i'm just telling you what i use. sonic's noise reduction is just like a noise gate. the reason i say just like and not it is, is because if it was they would have named it a noise gate, lol. the way these to programs act is by allowing the user to adjust the signal frequency above the frequencies that carry the noise. depending on how loud the noise is will determine your success.
example, if i was recording some vox(vocals) and i can hear my a.c. running in the recording this is what i would do. i would either open up sound forge, acid pro, cubase, cakewalk or what ever editing
program. i would take the vocal track and open up the gate or n.r. plugin for it. i would adjust the threshold or frequency in real time(meaning listening to it while it is happening) untill i can get as far above the noise frequency without compromising the quality of my signal. so if my vocal recording is mainly around 5-10khz and the a.c. unit can be heard at 900-1.8khz, i would boost above the 1.8khz not effecting my vocals because they are sitting around 5-10khz, that's good . if some of the noise was to be around 6khz., i would have to cut into my vocals to get above the noise, that's bad. if some of the noise was to reach up to, let's say 9khz i would be left with a piece of shyt for a vocal track, now that's ugly. this all can be as simple or as hard as you make it to be.
now, i know you have to be asking yourself right now, what
if i wanted to keep a signal on a lower frequency and cut a frequency on a higher frequency. okay, let's take the same example i used above. i like this example because it's what i face often. i record in my booth is my closet. my control room is my spare bedroom, which houses my central air unit on the outside wall. okay, if i wanted to keep the a.c. and get rid of the vocals i would use a limiter. this too comes with most high end programs. it can also be purchased as a plugin. the limiter limits what comes through the gate. if the signal is too high the gate closes. so you would adjust it to only open for signals strong enough to get through. just picture the a.c. being a body builder and the vox being a six year old child stuck on an elevator. the elevator has automatic closing doors. the elevator is stuck. now if the door is adjusted so that anyone who can use 100lbs. of force can get through only one of them will make it out of there. ignoring the fact that a human person would try to hold it for the kid to squeeze through first.
all said and done, i know this helped. if you have anymore questions, believe it or not blue bear can help you, but i know that spin, and the rest of the people who have been following know there stuff. i'm just a newbie to the game so i can only go so far with you. i hope this helps, peace.
