If you have Audition, then it's easy. by Fullofkittens 10/22/2005, 1:14pm PDT

Well, here are a couple of examples:

I've already heard 90% of both, though (by intent listening and rewinding), so your efforts would be somewhat wasted.

It's a common problem; I was looking for a recipe or whatever to help me help myself in the future. I played around with Audition a little, and found an "Extract center channel" filter that looked promising, except it's not available for mono tracks, which most of these are.


If you have Audition (and if it's as much like Cool Edit as I've been led to believe), then there is an easy 3-step process:

#1: select a portion of the audio that's all background noise and no speech.

#2: go into Effects/Noise Reduction/Noise Reduction. Click "Get Profile From Selection." Then Close (NOT Cancel, but Close) Noise Reduction.

#3: select the entire audio clip, and then go back to Effects/Noise Reduction/Noise Reduction*. This time, hit OK. It will then remove all the frequency components that were in the background noise from the entire clip. Note: if it's very noisy, you're going to end up with a weird carillon-type effect that might be worse than hearing it with noise. You can ameliorate that effect by messing around with the window interface in Noise Reduction to focus on certain frequencies.

Also: check out the "Hiss Reduction" - that's an optimized filter for removing noise from recordings. It works surprisingly well on a lot o stuff.

*Protip: F2 redoes the last effect, so hitting F2 takes you straight back in.

    No. You could invest the time to get plugins for Sound Forge, but don't. NT by Fussbett 10/15/2005, 4:50pm PDT NEW
