In AA, a good way to balance the the applause level is to split the clips when the applause comes up and drag them to a different track. Normalize (at least in Audition) does not ADD noise - it's simple amplification. The main thing to remember is it's NOISE REDUCTION, not NOISE ELIMINATION, but eliminating/reducing the source of the noise is ALWAYS the best option. There are a lot of setting you can adjust in the NR dialog, and it takes time to learn them. The NR tools in AA are quite good, but need to be used with a lot of care. What sample-rate/bit depth do you record? What format to do you save to when done? Saw a lengthy thread on this sort of thing once before and it turned out the fella' was saving 8-bit files! A very low record level on 16 bit files could also induce hiss when punched up to normal levels. I know there must be something I'm missing, or doing wrong, or just not doing at all. I'm trying to learn this stuff as best as I can. If there are any suggestions on how to prevent this from occurring I would love to know. I usually reduce the volume of the applause manually, and then normalize and it usually turns out OK. so it will hardly normalize because the spikes will hit the set % (Ie: normalize to 97%) before the rest. This can be annoying, because when you want to normalize the track it normalizes the highest point of the piece. when you click and listen to the "spikes" they are always the applause. When you look at the wave-form you can see these huge spikes. Often, when I record these recitals, the applause are way louder than the performer. The other problem is that I'm a perfectionist, so I have to have my recordings sound very good! Or maybe the hiss is just normal and I'm over-reacting? If there is equipment out that would help I would be willing to get it, I just need to know what it is first. Somebody here must be able to point out what I'm doing wrong, or help me improve. So I need to find a way to make the hiss as minimal as possible before recording. I hate using the noise-reduction and hiss-reduction plug-ins because they make the recording sound muddy and just plain bad. I set the levels, record, take it home, start editing, and just can't get over the ambient background hiss that's present. I have a simple setup: Laptop, Adobe Audition 2, PreSonus Firepod, 2 Samson C02 pencil condenser mics in X/Y, 2 identical cables. Once I updated my equipment, the recordings come out better, but the background hiss is still there. I eventually figured out that the reason I was getting so much hiss in my recordings was because of crappy equipment. I've asked a similar question to this before, and eventually fixed it. I've been recording live recitals and performances for a while.
