Crazy question for a newbie! When I record and make CD I see the Cleaning & Effect Preset which has a default of NO EFFECTS. At which time during the process do I select the type of correction that I want on the recording. I would assume that I select the SETTINGS button and make entry before I select the RECORD button??? Thanks

Hi,

On the "Preview and Edit..." screen, choose a cleaning effect after you record the audio, then play the audio to instantly hear the effect of the cleaning effect. Try different cleaning presets until you find one that sounds good.

Greg

Do I have to play the complete audio or will PREVIEW work for the correction?

Hi,

Yes, you can just preview it if you like, but that just plays the start and end of each track. It doesn't hurt to listen for a bit longer to see how the cleaning sounds.

Greg

OK, thanks for the information.

Choosing a cleaning effect will apply instantly, you don;t have to record like that or listen back to the whole recording.

I have the same type of question hi greg say I have a bunch of old tapes that are not music but speech teachings and sermons and when i play them back in the preview on the software they have that high treble sound or hiss maybe you call it I only want two tracks for each tape one per side of the tape now when I go to clean these I tried light tape cleaning in the effects and when it plays back it sounds good then it gets echo sounding or warble guide says use noise print cant I just use the light clean option and do nothing more or do I have to keep hitting the find next noise print shouldn't It apply the effect to the whole teaching the way I hear it in the beginning of playback preview is that how it will sound for the whole 45min teaching hope you get what i am saying thanks

Hi,

You just need one good noise print. Try to find a section of the recording that has noise, but no speech or music. That is the perfect noise print.

If it still sounds bad with a good noise print selected, try a different cleaning effect.
