Audio Tuning?

ted-m · 04-28-2008, 06:18 PM

Ok, so whenever there's a video project I've had to do, I usually don't care about the audio aspects of it, but I have a huge project for a charity, and I need the audio to have no feedback. basically what I mean is that home made movies always have some kind of audio feedback, from ambient sounds, wind, air, that stuff. I was wondering if there was a way to cut that out using a software, maybe even something like an adobe product, or vegas, something. Anybody got suggestions?

Some audio editing software (such as Audacity, Wave Pad etc.) have noise reduction filters you can apply though most work by sampling a portion of your clip and then taking out a certain frequency range which can take out some of your voices if your clip has live voices in it. If you don't have to have live voices in your clip dump your clip's audio and do a voiceover or soundtrack (music) and voiceover.
Only other way is to ensure your video footage is shot with as little ambient noise as possible using windcut features of your video camera and/or a protected microphone - those big fluffy ones you see on a boom.
