Paul, I just saw your tuts…they are great! I’m a beginner and these movies are SO much better then the manual I ordered. I think you should produce a CD. I know I would buy one. Thanks for your efforts. Oh btw…the music is great especially the beginning movie tune. Perhaps to satisfy others just turn down the banjo a notch.
The music makes the tut friendly and not so dry.

Currently I don’t think there are any clear, simple links to “Moments’” from the official support page - I found them by chance browsing once, and then tried the official support page to find them again without any success. (Only found through forums?)
These bits are very helpful in fast tracking the UI, which otherwise is more than a bit convoluted. (It’s not Quark - it’s not Dreamweaver - WTF? LOL) Thanks!!! Hope for more too…
They played the banjo in the movie “Deliverance” - nuff said.
You have a nasty 60 cycle hum in your audio as well. Best to fix it before you record, but it can be killed in post.
*Just a couple of “IMHO” notes, from someone who knows too much about everything, and not enough about one thing…cheers!

HI,
the hum is my iMac’s fan which I use to record the Moments. Any suggestions of how to remove this from the audio would be most welcome.

Paul,
are you using a directional mic on a headset? these can be great at
cutting out any background sound and can be quite cheap.
Not saying this will sort your problem but it might help.

It’s a directional mic, but not on a headset. It sits on my desk infront of my iMac and is set to the narrowest pick up angle it has. I do have a tripod with a nifty directional arm - I could try mounting it on that which may cut out some of the less desirable noises too.
I’ll take a look at headsets and see what I can do when I kick off the next batch.

To fix the existing audio, try Audacity -
Free and pretty simple I think…
I’m not too familiar with it, though it does have noise reduction and filters (high pass in particular) which could be of great help for “fixing it in the mix” for these existing recordings.
I use Digital Performer myself (which has many more advanced tools), but by the looks of it, Audacity should do the trick!
A mic stand with a boom would get the mic off the desk, (or a headset mic) to eliminate vibration noise and proximity noise. In addition, a bit of baffling around the computer would help absorb some of the noise.
Alternatively, (perhaps better?) one might re-record the audio track(s) in post…the other benefit to this being that you can punch in and out to repair verbal slip ups as well as eliminating the need to do it perfectly in one pass. Ultimately this would likely speed up your productions once you built a workflow…
Hope these things help - enjoy!

I love the Moments and learned a lot from them. I do much better if I “see” something being done than if I just read it. Keep them coming, Paul!
PS I love your voice too.
