Bulk removal of bleeding

Post by bradenchase »

I have a series of spoken word recordings to edit that have a considerable amount of “bleeding” from one microphone to the other. Each voice was recorded in a separate channel but, since the microphones were condenser microphones, they picked up more of the other voice than anticipated.

Is there any way to edit these in bulk? For example, suppress sound segments that have a low volume. or maybe delete sound segments that are below a certain volume threshold and over a certain number of seconds long.

I can use the markers to generate and identify where these places occur, however, this is already rather easy to see in the waveform so I can't figure out how to use the markers.

Here's a link the the screenshot: http://db.tt/Oerqp5xJ

Thanks!

if both parts are neatly predominant on their own channel, then why not gate the signal from each channel?

Would that work if every signal is different?

They're lines from scripted lessons and I have a total of about 4 hours of recording to split into these 25 "lessons." Every line from each voice is unique.

Each lesson is about 10 min long.

What I would experiment with, is subtracting the channels from
eachother. Just try it on a relevant fragment and listen what the
effect is.

The idea is to take channel A, lower the volume to that of the bleed
level and subtract it from channel B.
Subtract = Revert Phase and then Add.

I feel certain Gerard intended to type Invert, not revert, phase.
