[microsound] Noise Removal Plug-ins

[Bill Jarboe]

hello mike,

    -don't know if you're still there or looking (not that I'm  
terming you 'noise' or something), Soundhack dynamics is very good ,  
and I'm fairly sure Tom Erbe has a plugin available which is also  
probably effective (I'm a big fan of his software, almost feel  
unworthy to use his actual commercial applications , especially since  
I haven't sent him a c.d. yet). He has the freesound mailing list,  
and has been quite patient answering questions ; my questions being  
like an airhead with a lamborghini saying: like , where's the  
ignition? so, when I turn the steering wheel clockwise , it goes  
right , counterclockwise it goes left , right?

    What's strange is that the freesound list seems mostly empty,  
rather like our imaginary airhead trying to get a date , or maybe the  
opposite extreme.

   Sorry if this seems slightly wacky, it's saturday night in seattle  
and I'm trying to be boring in order to be safe.

   What really concerns me , and I'm not including you in this  
criticism, since I've never even heard a 'peep' out of you; is the  
over driven , clipped beats. I should really write a review in order  
to be polite , yet that doesn't read like a review in my mind , more  
of a condemnation, and I still like the music in question. What  
troubles me is the 'The orcs are coming , man flesh tonight , pound  
you to the bottom of the oil well , throw you out in the street ,  
finish this skyscraper' relentlessly that I can very easily do without.

   Isn't here a plugin to remove all that? Alternatively I could  
remove the beats myself as a business proposition. You could send  
questionable tracks to my SoundCloud dropbox ( email me off list ;  
don't wish to foist my cloud on anyone) in exchange for reimbursement  
via paypal -no , they seemed to have deleted me : hope they didn't  
have my idea already and think that I was a beat- maybe it's alright  
now , visa , check, money order  or contraband - maybe not  
contraband , use your discretion please

   I see it like this: the beats , thuds are representing the  
structure that made the society , party possible. Instead of being  
the pathetic loser at the party , why not remove the party so that  
you , or the person who recorded the track- is  there a difference,  
we're open -minded , socially oriented individuals right?- is all  
that remains.


  My words are more effective than a cold shower- I'm sure.



                                                      Bill
