Audacity will "rip" the Audio from a muxed (multiplexed, i.e. combined Audio & Video in one file), and allow one to replace the Audio from the muxed file with a PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit file. The editor would just Alt-click on the muxed Audio portion and Delete it.

Does PrE have Render/Replace for muxed Audio, like PrPro does? If so, that would effectively replace that muxed Audio Clip with PCM/WAV Audio.

Good luck,

Ah those pesky MOD's. Turn your back on 'em, and they strike with "the censor's quill... "

Now Steve, just channel back to 2009, and tell us what you wrote.

Just a guess on my part, but I'd say that at least one pointed out that Denoise Effect is designed to primarily remove tape hiss.

For the removal of some other noise from Audio, perhaps this ARTICLE will be useful? Note, however, that some noise will occupy the same frequency ranges as music and human speech, so there might be limitations on what can be removed, without adversely affecting other desired Audio.

What is the sampling rate of yoru audio, Mike?

Is this from a camcorder or from some other source?

Is it either 48,000 or 44,100? Any other sampling rate can cause problems.

Jimmy,

You are probably best to post to the Premiere Pro CS 5/ CS 5.5/ CS 6 Forum, for specifics about your program.

However, with wind noise, the DeNoiser Effect will likely not help you. It is designed to remove tape hiss in an analog source. Bit-Rate will not affect what you need either.

I would suggest that you look over this article for some possible tips: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/572518?tstart=30

Note that I said, "possible," as it will depend entirely on the frequencies of the noise that you wish to remove, and the frequencies of the Audio, that you wish to maintain. Adobe Audition has a good Noise Removal Preset in the Restoration group. It can do amazing things, BUT, you need to tweak, listen, tweak, listen, and then repeat, until you have things "clean." Also, you can gate many frequencies (depending on frequency overlap), and clean things some more. The article goes into a bit more detail, plus mentions some other programs.

Good luck,

Hunt

If the camera's "noise" is in the frequency range of analog tape hiss, then the DeNoiser Effect might well be helpful. Audio repair does not care what the source of the noise is, but only the frequency and amplitude of that noise.

Using Cubase to repair background noise is just like using Audition. You are correct in that it takes time, and plenty of critical listening. Full-featured audio-editing programs offer tons of tools, and most will let the user install more tools, via VST's, and they might have some presets to act as starting points, but in the end, the user needs to do some work.

One little bit of amazement to me was that Magix program, Audio Cleaning Lab, was how good a job it did with the default presets, and then how effective it was, with just a bit of tweaking. For the low price, I was blown away, and now use it, before I head to Audition.

As for the posting, I certainly understand your thoughts. I contemplated Branching your Reply into a new post in the Premiere Pro Forum, but as you were relating to this thread, felt that would not be helpful to you. Also, at this point, we're really not talking about Premiere versions, but an Effect that exists in each version, however with some slight differences. After giving it a lot of thought, I came to agree with you, that this is a logical place. Should the questions become more Pr version specific, then I would suggest posting to PrPro and will help you move/copy anything that is needed there. No problem. It's not like mention of PrPro is forbidden here - heck, I do it all the time.

Most of all, good luck,

Hunt
