Re: Audio soundtrack on MiniDV tape corrupted by EMF noise, how do I wipe the noise off to get the underlying soundtrack?



capture it as you would any other video. Most likely firewire.
Either perform the noise removal in your editing app, if you have one or
separate it from the audio and use anyh number of available audio tools to
affect it
Use a parametric or notch to find the noise. If it is wide bandwidth you
will need to try a noise removal method.
Likely the graphic EQ doesn't have a steep enough roll off.

I recorded a concert of sorts yesterday using external mics plugged into a
mixer
which had a mic level output and that plugged into the mic input on the
camcorder. I have done this before without any problem like this. The
concert
was in a hotel ballroom with flourescent lights everywhere about 20 feet
up.
There was no headphone jack, so I couldn't monitor during recording; but
my VU
meters on the mics and in the LED VU display on the camcorder seemed to be
OK
during recording. So today I play back the tapes and there is this
annoying
noise at the highest possible audio level across the entire audio
spectrum. I
used a graphic EQ in the stereo system to cut out as much annoying noise
as I
could (8K, 16K, 31, 60 and 125 hz too) so we could check on the concert
music.
What's left is still riddled with this noise that is constant (not
breathing or
pumping as would be the case with Automatic Gain Control turned on if it
existed
in the camcorder). My only thought is the flourescent lights overloaded
the
audio track within the camcorder itself during recording, the video looks
fine.

So my question is how do I get this onto the computer (via firewire) so
that I
can sample this EMF noise and wipe it from the audio track, and leave the
audio
concert material intact.
