Hello!
I am not sure this is the right place to ask my questions.
I would like to make audio recordings in the field. I am thinking of capturing the atmosphere of certain places in nature, be it a glade in the woods, on the shore or somewhere in the hills with distant sounds of church bells or crows, for example. What I am saysing is that I don’t want to record the call or song of a single bird but literally everything you hear when you are in the field.
I am using a Tascam field recorder (Dr-07X) with a wind shield. The first results are quite promising but there is a constant noise (like a constant rush) in the background. I looked on the internet and read that using Audacity for post-processing offers some options to reduce noise. I am wondering if I can reduce the noise in the first place by using appropriate settings on the field recorder. Should I play around with the level mode perhaps? Or maybe use a low cut filter?
Does anybody know how to reduce noise that is constantly there in the background using Audacity? I read that you can get a noise profile which you then can apply to your file to reduce the noise. The problem is, however, that I would have to locate a section in the recording that is just the noise I want to be removed. But there aren’t any such sections because there’s always birdsong or something else I want NOT removed.
I am grateful for any tips that would improve the quality of my audios.
Thanks for reading!
