With my PC settings I've got everything cranked as well. I've still got a ton of noise coming from the line in, and that shouldn't be happening, so I think that's part of the problem. Not only is the volume on the input turned all the way up, but the +20db Mic boost is cranked.
I now have a popper stopper right in front of the dynamic mic to help.

I'm not looking to eliminate the noise but I want to reduce it quite a bit. I think messing with the windows settings will do it for me.

As for the music, I'm going to re-record that, I'm also working on Menuett by Johann Kreiger...it's in the Hal Leonard Classical Guitar pieces, seems pretty easy as far as reading the sheeets goes, and sight reading it with my travel guitar I think it sounds good. A little practice and it should turn out fine. I'll check out who you were talking about...love the type of music.]]> In The Studio JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342289 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342287 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:09:21 +0000
Yeah, Dowland is great. If you like his music, also have a listen to William Byrd and Thomas Morley - similar Elizabethan style music.]]> In The Studio bfloyd6969 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342287 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342275 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 07:03:37 +0000
To answer your question about the music, yeah it's John Dowland, Orlando Sleepeth. I want to re-record it because the timing is off a bit. I'll look into those others that you have listed.

I'm going through a period where I'm learning to read sheet music, and this is one of the pieces that I played. John Dowland is a great composer, love the type of music.]]> In The Studio JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342275 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342255 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 02:53:13 +0000
With that said, it sounds as if you are using a classical (or nylon string crossover acoustic) which already is working against you as they will be quieter and mellower that a steel string. Where are you pointing the mic at on the guitar? I've never recorded my classical so never experienced with mic placement on it. Still, a condensor mic with proper phantom power should get you a good, strong signal. have you considered adding a preamp and pickup for your guitar? Just another idea, and probably a more costly one.

BTW, is that a Dowland piece you're playing or some other renaissance composer. Nice little piece, and nice playing on your part too. I have a couple of medieval and renaissance music books that I love to pull out from time to time. Saltarello's and Estampie's are my favorite and most fun to play. The Jamey Bellizzi transcriptions and very playable, IMO.]]> In The Studio bfloyd6969 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342255 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342234 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:46:37 +0000
I was doing a bit of research last night, and there was a couple reviews that stated it has a pretty high noise floor.]]> In The Studio JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342234 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342233 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:27:09 +0000
Air moving though the heating/AC vents
Refrigerators
Your breathing
People moving in other rooms
washing machines
dryers
TV/radio/stereo elsewhere in the house
Fans, even those in computers or other electronic equipment.

Start looking at these kinds of things. Condenser mics are far more sensitive than your ears and will pick up and amplify things you can't hear.]]> In The Studio Moonrider https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342233 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342216 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 07:37:46 +0000 In The Studio JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342216 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342193 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:46:36 +0000 In The Studio bfloyd6969 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342193 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342167 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:24:47 +0000 In The Studio JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342167 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342158 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:53:26 +0000
Messing around with the highs and turning them down to about half, and messing around with the mid-highs, I think it works okay.

I know that to eliminate any noise you are going to take a hit in the quality, but I think that I did okay. I used Adobe Soundbooth 2.0 Just curious . . . what are you using for a recording interface to get that high of a noise floor? You shouldn't be getting that much noise from the hardware.]]> In The Studio Moonrider https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/using-eq-to-elminate-noise-success/#post-342158
