Chris Beesley Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hope this fits the section etc! I need a little advice as digital video is not my strongpoint - I helped video a conference recently and the camera's have picked up quite a bit of audio noise, mostly around 5-10K ... is there any software (PC format please) that I can use to edit this out? If I could run it thru some kind of graphic I would be able to loose most of it. I know its a little rough to just create "holes" in the audio spectrum but the video will be compressed right down after editing so actual quality is not important ... all that matters is cutting out most of the background noise. Thanks Chris B.(non-CPC post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPAman Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Adobe Audition is the best, though it's not cheap. If the noise is constant it will do a brilliant job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Beesley Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 The noise is constant ... one of the rifles decided to output "sounds of the sea" for most of the day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillW Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Audacity is usually good value for money for basic things (its free). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modge Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Soundforge will let you set up a parametrics or what ever to knock out random frequencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPAman Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Edit:This post is about audacity. I don't think it will open an AVI file though. I could be wrong. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Audacity can pull the audio stream out of most video formats, but you may get the odd "spike" of pink noise - fairly obvious and easy to remove.Not sure what causes it, but it's not bad for free software. It even managed to get it out of a Quicktime movie - Meesa impressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Beesley Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Cheers guys - look like I have got a late night of tinkering ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 the visual screen in the adobe editors is really good for 'seeing' the offending noise. If you can see it, you can usually draw around it and delete - sounds odd to explain, but actually rather useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NM13 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Adobe Audition is great for this kind of work, even better if you have Adobe Premiere as you can export directly and any changes you make in audition will be reflected in Premiere when you save the audio file, making life much easier.

It can also be the default sound editor in Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojc123 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 If you're looking for a freeware solution then virtualdub (mpeg2 edition) will extract a wav file from the AVI. You can remove noise and clean it up with audacity then put the resulting cleaned up wav back in using virtualdub. I have no experience of professional quality software but reasonable results can be achieved in this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Soundtrack has a function that does exactly what you need, but you said PC only, so I guess.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
