1. Re: How can I eliminate strong wind noise with audition?
SteveG(AudioMasters) May 26, 2009 2:39 AM (in response to Michelmnr)Unfortunately I don't think that anything is going to help you much here - it's why pro recordists (and anybody else who realises what the problem is) use big fluffy windgags on mics outside - even when there's hardly any wind at all. These break up the direct blasts considerably, and randomise the air movements around the gag itself. As a consequence, inside the gag there's an area of still air around the mic itself, and that stops the blast effects on the diaphragm.
The problem with wind is that it's not constant in level or sound type - the bandwidth varies too. Audition can reduce constant background sounds quite effectively, but wind doesn't even begin to qualify here - and as a consequence, there's no way that Noise Reduction can help you - even the newer adaptive sort doesn't fix wind problems. And before you ask, there's no other software that can help either - this random high level noise is all over the wanted parts of your recording, so whatever you do, it's also going to affect that.
That said, often you can fix some of the problems by rolling off all of the bass in the signal - say, everything below 100 Hz, because that's usually where the worst effects are, and there generally isn't much speech content below 100Hz anyway. But once you've done that, you don't really have anywhere else to go with this, I'm afraid.

Michelmnr May 26, 2009 6:08 AM (in response to Michelmnr)Hi again Steve, I did reply your email, but just found out it bounced back! so here is the content
Thank you Steve, I was afraid I'd get this kind of answer. Still I'll have another go at the bass because i was trying to get the speech a little clearer... So this question has been answered :)

There is no text in your answer.

plarsen@mail.tele.dk May 27, 2009 12:44 AM (in response to Michelmnr)This is because I tried to post normally with quote included, but this time
without quote prefix, because I thought that the post might then go through
in normal messaging format.
Reading off-line with no included quote makes it impossible for me to know
what this is about, but for a general comment I can say that the designers
of Windows Media Player who decided to make it unable to read CD-text have
progressed and now design messaging software for adobe.
If my know-how is wanted on this here board then they will have to fix it so
that it does not discard my posts.
If you want to know what was in those apparently empty posts - they weren't
empty and contained fine know-how of general interest - you will have to ask
Adobe for it. They have discarded it so they can find it. I type here pro
bono and off-line, I stopped reading on line back in the BBS age when
off-line reading was considered a major progress. This here crap is poorer
than the most primitive real BBS I ever used.
Kind regards

Michelmnr May 30, 2009 4:07 AM (in response to plarsen@mail.tele.dk)I did reply this post by email but, yes it's not here
And now I have to endure anxiety for the remaining of my days, unless Adobe bring this content back to life. Hmm, as a previous Autralian Prime minister coined this memorable phrase: "Life was not supposed to be easy"

It's not that bad - a cure won't suddenly have materialised...

Apart from this I was wondereing why your email has the word "won't" (like on your post here) starting and ending with the + sign? (yes, as if i didn't have enough things to worry about!)

You have to bear in mind that I didn't send you an email - this stupid system did. I have deliberately turned all that off as far as recieving them is concerned, and if I could, I'd stop the system sending them at all to anybody, because they are tantamount to spam. If anybody posts something on a forum and they are particularly interested in any replies they get, what's wrong with just looking at the forum occasionally? It's not exactly an arduous task, after all...

12. Re: How can I eliminate strong wind noise with audition?
Michelmnr May 31, 2009 3:27 AM (in response to SteveG(AudioMasters))Forum for me is somehow a new experience, although I have utilised it for a few years, but never enough to quite understand its mechanism and I still struggle to get my way around. Really I was just curious, a little like a fish looking at a bicycle. But yes I've got to disociate these emails with people writting directly in the forum - Just the same i'm grateful for the notification which, in my case, is a real help as I'm having some challenge to keep up with forums inputs. So here we are with the good, the bad and perhaps sometimes the ugly. So far for me it remains a positive exercise, and a way to learn I have never experience before the event of Web and Fo...ra
We're getting away from the wind noise now!
