The noise floor wouldn't change much if your room noise is that high. However, I'd bet the noise is quite different with the mic off...Just the interface noise. I would think the Focusrite preamp would make a larger difference in the overall sound and I'm positive the A/D conversion is much better, ...

The Audacity vs Goldwave fight has been going on for a few years now. The Audacity people think thier program is better than just about anything out there...I supposed it depends on what one starts out using. I gleaned that from the user ratings on cnet download. I rarely download freebies these da...

No WAY! You do voiceovers? I envy you. I would LOVE to do something like that. I've always wanted to do cartoon voices...it pretty much fits my personality. LOL! I've been a ventriloquist for over 35 years (MAN that makes me feel old!), and again it's only volunteer work...but this time I claim to ...

In my opinion, this is not distortion. The bass funamental is not distorted, the fundamental for the noise is in the midrange, even though it follows the bass hits. The sound leads all the way up to about 4kHz, and is quite audible in that range. I would say something was rattling near the mic, or m...

at this point we don't know which computer is off (maybe both)... We just know that they don't match. It would be both...The reason people spend thousands on word-clocks is to keep everything accurate. Even high-end gear will get off without a master word-clock. It only takes one sample to throw ev...

The VP12 is no longer in production...But it's a pretty typical mic processor. If you prefer outboard processing, the DBX 286A might be a good substitute for the Rane...They run about $200. There are other options, but most are quite expensive. I am not familiar with Creative Wave and I couldn't fin...

Your needs will depend largely on your skill level and specific desires. There are three programs that I would recommend for this sort of thing: Adobe Audition, Sony Sound Forge and GoldWave. There's no doubt that Audition and SF will offer you some more professional options not available in GoldWav...

There are third-party dither and noise shaping plug-ins that can be used when working with GoldWave. Dither noise is much more pleasing than quantization noise. It all occurs in the lowest 6dB anyhow, so neither will be obvious, but truncation becomes very audible at the end of reverb tails and such...

24-bit will also allow for higher quality processing. The reason I always use the highest bit-depth available has nothing to do with dynamic range and everything to do with the quality of the process. GoldWave processes using 32-bit floating point. Floating point has the most accurate math and I pre...

Re: high quality sound recording
i have a high quality turntable which is connected up to my computer. not sure what soundcard i have (think it is a sigmatel), does that make a difference? It doesn't just make a difference...It makes ALL the difference. The software just writes 0's and 1's recieved from the soundcard. The card is ...

I have a friend that, using another software, could not open files with the .aiff extension, but COULD open files with a .aif extension. Obviously, they're the same file type, just with a modified extension. So for him, it was as easy as renaming the files to *.aif. I don't know that this would appl...

Audition does, indeed, offer a pitch correction function, both graphical and automatic. Antares Auto Tune is the most common plug-in for this sort of thing, and Celemony Melodyne is the best (and most expensive). Audition's actually works pretty well, though it offers far fewer options than the othe...

* From what I've read, professionals recording at 24-bits, typically record at about -18dBFS. (FS = full scale... Their meters are calibrated to indicate 0dB at 18dB below clipping.) But, the pros have low-noise electronics, and I assume their analog-to-digital converters are calibrated for higher ...
