AVID Express Audio Question
I’m not too savvy when it comes to audio and I have an audio clip with a vocal, where the background noise is too high. There’s a flowing river, and it is too high to match up with the ambience track I’ve got for the scene.
If I were to noise gate it, or compress the clip, how would I manipulate the controls? Just to lower background noise enough.
I’m terrible when it comes to this, and any help would be appreciated, greatly. Thanks

How long is the clip? Is it just a sentence or two? If so, you could ADR or re-record the vocal, then add a track of the river and mix the two so it sounds like you intended.

Joe is right. Taking background noise out requires pretty sophisticated software. I’d use Sound Forge with a Noise Reduction Plug-in. If re-voicing is out of the question and you don’t have Sound Forge, I’d try a parametric EQ in the audio suite and try to pin-point the river. You could then mix in the original clip. Keep in mind it will never sound like the rest of your clips.
