  • premiere – Wind noise on audio track

    Posted by Elaine Walton on November 3, 2008 at 9:27 pm

    I have a lot of wind noise during an outside wedding ceremony. I use Adobe premiere and would like to know how to lower the noise while keeping up the level of audio for the JP talking.

    Jeremy’s right – but good luck with the wind noise, it’s a b**** to remove. You can try a band-pass filter to try to help, but it’s pretty hard on any NLE software.

    Any mic used outdoors like this should be all dressed up in a wind-shield. This is what soundmen are for (and it’s the only thing they’re for, apart from moaning).

    [Ben Holmes] “This is what soundmen are for (and it’s the only thing they’re for, apart from moaning).”

    Yes, us ex location soundmen have heard it all before. We are quite interchangeable with drummer jokes too.

    The bottom line is that sound is always 60% or more of a final production. It rarely gets above 5% of the budget, so it is the best value for money on any production. How about taking half the grade or graphics budget and seeing what you can do with good sound.

    If I said you were only there to randomly push the insert button, would that be a fair description of and editor?

    Didn’t think so.

    Adobe’s Soundbooth and Audition both have tools to remove Wind Noise. Essentially, all you have to do is select a section of audio that is only wind noise, tell Sb or Au that it is noise and then remove it. I didn’t look at this tutorial, but it sounds like this would give you insight on how to do it.

    The thing for me is that both Adobe products allow you a 3 dimensional view of audio (time, frequency, amplitude) vs. a waveform view which is 2 dimenional (time, amplitude)
