  Audio track background Hum

  Posted by Greg Flory on January 17, 2012 at 1:20 am

  I created a video in Pro using recorded audio in Sounbooth. When reviewing project, I noticed hum in audio track.

  I tried audio effects in Pro and Soundbooth; can’t get rid of hum.

  Any suggestions to solve issue?

  If the hum is consistent and you can capture a sample (1-3 seconds) of it, then use it to remove the offending sound in noise reduction.

  Steven,

  Could you be more specific? I’m having a problem with the audio of some footage where the interviewee seems to have been in a room with the AC on or a refrigerator on…

  I think I only have just a few frames of the offending room sound.

  How do I use the isolated sound to specify the sound to remove?

  Much appreciated.

  — A quick update — I clipped out the room sound fragment and looped it at the end of my clip, which gave me the sample for the offending sound. 🙂

  Now, to get rid of the hollow echoing ambient room sound. The interviewee was shot against a wall, using only the built-in mic, so she’s too far away for a robust sound, and the hard wall makes the sound bounce all over.

  Any Soundbooth filters for this type of problem?
