I guess the noise removal stuff works differently with Gameboys than with ukuleles and guitars and junk. Also I guess it depends on what kind of noise you are trying to get rid of and what is causing the sound. Cheers.

Oh, I'm totally trying your way too, I'll just be turning the noise removal way down. Removing a specific frequency is the smart thing to do but at the same time that background whine is sort of buzzy and clicky so I can tell it won't work completely. I think using both methods with a very light touch should do best.

Great advice. I have an unaltered gameboy (dmg) for recording with since my other one has a backlight and I've heard they add noise (tho my backlight doesn't seem to). Pro sound would probably eliminate my problem since it's really just a matter of volume; if I understand correctly the mod makes the music louder but not the circuit whine.

As is its not bad really, for example my midi piano whines worse, but anyway the EQ/highpass solution sounds good. I've been using the default settings in Audacity and it's too much.

There are also clicks I might want to remove, but everyone has those.

Hello! This is my first post so apologies if it's in the wrong place.

I'm trying to make a good recording of my only really complete song (been messing around for 6 months, but I do microtonal stuff so it's pretty experimental / hit and miss), so naturally I fire up Audacity and try to do some basic noise removal to remove a bit of the unnecessary whine of the gameboy. Maybe I should simply be less aggressive with the noise removal, but at any rate right now my results aren't sounding too great and I'm curious what other people do to get the best quality end product they can.
