You can you use an audio editor which allow for the removal of noice. Cool Edit has this feature integraded and to my knowledge all the( or most) pro audio editors have it as well. I think freeware audio editor "audacity" has it as well but I am not sure.
I use cool edit as well and had very good results , you need however to play with the settings alot and use not only the denoiser (or whatever is called) but also the desser and those tools including filters etc. etc. If noise stays even after this then it is the quality of mic audio input , which the easiest cure to this is to get of course a better mic. Other than that I agree that you may be able to further fix this with applying gate, eq, compression (especially multi band) dependantly on the actually problem of the recording. But first ake sure you exausted the capabilities of cool edit in this area.
Another good trick is to actually layer a instrument on the same frequency as the noise on top of your voice, this way the ear will concetrate on the instument and not the noise of the voice.
Hope that helps

You really need to fix the problem at the source... but.. you will need Adobe Audition for this.
Record some silence, it will pick up the room and obviously the hum. Select the hum and rick click, chose get noise profile. Now select the entire file, go to the noise reduction menu and at the bottom choose noise reduction. Click ok. That should improve it some what.

True, but you can also use an equilizer.
If you set an equilizers with narrow bands to 60hz, 120hz, 240hz, 480hz, (etc) you will filter out the harmonics of the electrical disturbance. I say 60hz becouse that is the frequency of your house electricity in europe (its 50hz in the states I think). This really works, but needless to say the first band will have to have the most dB reduction (lets say -12dB, the second -9dB...etc)
Now of course buying new shielded cables is of course a way better solution, but keeping mic (and speaker) cables away from power cords, outlets, and electronical devices will go a long way. |

Yeah, agreed - especially if you are using a cheap computer mic there will be too much bass in the voice recording so you'll have to remove it.
