Dialogue recording problems!

So this is my first blog post here! Woohoo! I had wanted the page http://cerebraldump.blogspot.com but that is already taken. Bah. So this one will do for now.

I was trying to record some dialogue last night and everything seemed to be going well. I made a few mistakes here and there and had to repeat my lines, no big deal though. I just removed the mistakes with audacity and thought it was all good. That was until I ran it through the normalise effect and noise removal. As it turns out, my mic had picked up the dup-dup-dup from the washing machine of the neighbour above me. D'oh. I've not been able to remove the noise with any of the effects in Audacity, so I've just had to live with it. After I played it back, through the speakers and with headphones in work this morning, I was not able to hear it. So all good then? Mostly, I'm still trying to find out how to remove that type of background noise with Audacity. Maybe one day I will find out - does anyone know how to?

Anyway, in case you've not been following my youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/cerebraldump) I bought a new mic specifically to record audio for my animations. Check out this video to see the quality difference.




I also have a twitter account @ http://www.twitter.com/cerebraldump - I post my favourites and uploaded videos there. Check it out or follow if you like what you see!
