Squee Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 So at my new work I received a recording from a voice talent and his recordings were all full of clicks and whatnot. But one thing that left me confused was the way the waveform didn't circulate around 0 db? Instead it's always fluctuating around 0 db, so whenever I mute the silence between his sentences there's a pretty big chance of a click occurring. So I was planning on giving him some feedback and would love to tell him what to do so this doesn't happen, but I'm kinda lost here... any suggestions?

auxien Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I've seen things like that when applying heavy effects/volume changes/compressions/etc. to audio. Would he have tried to fix/clip any of it himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisbot Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Whenever I DC offset I throw on a HP filter or even two, that usually does the trick. I only have this issue when I'm frequency shifting like crazy though, and my offset goes insane and will destroy the signal completely, muting everything that's playing. If you have insane DC offset like that then the HP filter might not work sometimes. But it looks like you only have minor offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Alright, awesome! Thanks, guys. I'll look into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klore Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 it's caused by the electric signal which isn't regular, it's usually something due to super oldschool gears that have bad transformers or some bad electric installation especially a bad grounded socket, i've seen this few times, on synth it wasn't a big problem because i made a micro fade out to grab the zero, pretty sure it will work on vocals as well but never tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
