<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">hello mike, <DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> -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?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> 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.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> Sorry if this seems slightly wacky, it's saturday night in seattle and I'm trying to be boring in order to be safe.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> 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.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> 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</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> 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.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> My words are more effective than a cold shower- I'm sure.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> Bill</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> <BR><DIV><DIV>On Jan 29, 2009, at 4:26 PM, flemming lyst wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">izotope rx is very good! but very expensive... <BR><BR><DIV class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 1:20 AM, Michael Sweeton <SPAN dir="ltr"><<A href="mailto:mikesweeton@googlemail.com">mikesweeton@googlemail.com</A>></SPAN> wrote:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I can't seem to find them, I'm running 10.5.6, maybe they aren't included?<BR> <DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV class="Wj3C7c"><BR> Jakob Riis wrote:<BR> > The AU plugins that comes with the OS are no bad...<BR> ><BR> ><BR> >> does anybody know of any good free/cheap noise removal plug-ins for the mac<BR> >><BR> >> thanks in advance<BR> >><BR> >> mike<BR><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
