Got a tech/software question? Ask A DSFer

This is how you would do it in Vegas (or close enough but its been a while since i even seen that app) but if you tell me what program you are working in I might still be able to tell you how to do it. Most programs have the same feature sets.

First off, this pic represents your baseline for the EQ EFFECT not the main audio.




1. Start with lowering the effect level.




2. Then add your envelope control points (anchors? All programs name them differently)





3. Drag middle points up to create a notch





4. Now you want to find your EQ settings that get rid of this pop. Once you have done that you can experiment with different envelopes to find the perfect mix. Try making the notch as small as possible without being able to detect any effect on the rest of the audio.

NOTE: I hope this won't get confusing but the parametric EQ will also serve as a "notch". By limiting the "Q" you will be limiting frequencies and creating an audio envelope. Please do not confuse this with the envelope that controls the effect on the timeline.








So, to be clear... what is happening is the effect is at zero (having no effect) until it hits the first control point. Then the effect starts and increases at the rate of the rise of the notch but with a parametric EQ you will have narrowed the audio spectrum to isolate the frequency of the "pop" as close as possible. Then as soon as the pop is over the effect drops to zero again leaving the rest of the audio unaffected (hopefully). Repeat this along your timeline at each "pop" to get rid of them.

I hope this helps. If not, then I spent too much time explaining something.

wow dude, That is a lot of info. Thanks for all that work. It's a really old video of my old band, so the audio is important. I appreciate your help. Let you know how it turns out.

nah. It seemed important to him because he had it transferred from an old tape so i figured it warranted a detailed explanation.

you got that right buddy But it is supposed to be loud, and the audio levels are very low, so I have to turn the volume up really loud to hear it.
