Hi there, guys.
How can I remove/avoid excessive background noise when I record my vocals using MixPad?
Removal
Is there any way to remove noise from a track that you've recorded? I know that another programme, "Audacity", has a feature that removes background noise - you simply highlight some noise, then you tell the programme to recognize it, and then you ask it to remove it from the whole track in question.
Does MixPad have a similar feature?
Avoidance
Of course, removing noise from at track isn't necessary if the recordig is free of background noise in the first place. What kind of setup/gear would be the best way to avoid background noise when recording?
Here's my own "setup" as it is right now:
A t.bone GM-55 (dynamic) microphone connected directly to a USB-port in my PC with a XLR-to-USB cable.
It's very basic, and the amount of background noise this generates in MixPad is pretty horrific.
Should I use another kind of cable to connect the mic to the computer?
Should I buy another kind of microphone?
Should I use a preamp or some sort of software to get rid of the background noise?
Any advice is very welcome. Thank you in advance!
