Help with Acoustic Supression

Started by Don Nasoni August 3, 2004
Dear Readers,

I have a VHS recording of the wedding of my cousin that I have
converted to DVD mpg and AVI clips containing speech and music.
I have separated the Video and Wav component, and these are resident
on my hard drive.

Although the wedding was recorded professionally, the echo on the
wav files makes them extremely difficult to understand. As a result,
the tape has been written off as a waste. The wedding was on the
east cost, when I learned about it here in California I asked for
and received a copy to see if I might help.

I have a background in signal analysis in spread spectrum,
substantial work in digital filtering, Fourier analysis, signal
class recognition and limited experience in adaptive filtering. Most
of my software was written in textual and visual basic. I've been
retired since 1990, so getting up to speed again is a steep learning
curve.

I have hoped to find a software solution and have hope that some
member(s) might help. I have "Wave Repair" and Adobe's "Audition",
these do not address echo elimination.

It has occurred that these files could be of some help to someone
wishing for real world examples to work with, in which case I will
transmit them. Otherwise, please if you would be so kind, suggest a
plausible direction for me, since I am stuck.

Many Thanks

Don Nasoni



Dear Don Nasoni,

You could use any of these audio tools:
1) GoldWave (www.goldwave.com)
2) CoolEdit2000 (http://www.sonicspot.com/cooledit/cooledit.html)

I had used Goldwave and got good results.
