An Audio Test

Jul 06, 2010 19:59

The second half of my DucKon set was recorded in a meeting room, as opposed to the ballroom. There's a low consistent hum in the background, more obvious when I'm not singing, and I can't seem to remove it without sucking all the life out of the overall audio. A song from that second half is right here (a 60 MB download of a .WAV file, "Smurfin' Safari" in case you're interested). Would some of you mind listening to it and giving me your opinion as to whether it's too distracting, or not noticeable, or what? And if you have an idea as to what I can do to get rid of it, that'd help as well. I've been EQing for a lot of the day, to no good effect.

ETA: I think I got it, or got most of it. A noise gate, a wedged notched EQ starting at 113 Hz, and another EQ to add warmth back in the middle. The hum is still there, but much less obvious than it was.
