 |
|
I have just started using sound forge 7. A friend has Audition and was showing me how he can select part of the wave file and tell Audition to remove just that part of the frequency of teh entire audi track. For example. You video a wedding but the mic picks up the AC fan. In Audition you can select just that noise from part of the track and tell it to remove it from all teh audio. Can this be done in sound forge 7? How? I have tried Noise Gate and a few other effects with minimal results unlike Audition which fixed the issue in minutes with great results.
Thanks for any help |

I've got Sound Forge 8 and I can't suss out how to do it with that either !
I also tried using Audacity. It does have a noise removal facility which
acts on the whole of the file if you can isolate just the noise you want to
remove. Care is needed though 'cos too much affects the sound of the
rest of the file. Any noise you want to remove will have some
frequencies in common with the rest of the content and so will have an affect and degrade the overall sound. For best results the noise you want
to remove should (hopefully) be in a part of the recording where no other
noise is audible, allowing you to isolate it. EG in a gap in conversation
or between songs in background music etc.
Sound Forge 8 does have an envelope function (7?) which allows you to
increase or decrease the signal level in chosen sections although I've
found it a bit clunky to use as you cannot guage the effect the adjustment
is having on the file until it's played back.
Audacity on the other hand does give you a visual.
The noise hopefully will be masked by the other content and the noise
level can be reduced in the quiet sections if the noise removal function
is not successful.
The success or failure of any noise reduction depends on the overall
content of the recording and weather the offending noise can be
isolated. |
