I think if it wasn't needed, we wouldn't see so many good choices in the
Protools world (like the Sonnox plugs, they're very good.)
Anyway, I am just floating the idea. So far, a bunch of people have
committed to contributing to such a Kickstarter campaign, were we to
start one.
Rich...
The lack of
quality noise-reduction software for linux has been on my
mind quite a bit lately. I thought it might be a cool idea to create a
Kickstarter project to fund the development for this. Mike from
linuxDSP or Fons would be the best choices (I think) to write the plugs.
:-) Very flattering, but don't expect a single-click solution for
something as volatile as removing unwanted noises from a recording.
In some cases (and more often than one would think) it's just a
matter of some EQ, in other cases a simple noise gate can do the
trick, and sometimes you'll need a multiband expander using pre-
measured statistics. It also depends on how the result is going
to be used afterwards.
As in many cases, it's going to be the skills of the user rather
than the tools that are going to determine success or failure.
