  • cleaning the audio in Vegas

    Posted by Philippe Orlando on January 8, 2009 at 8:59 pm

    Hello,

    I need to remove some hiss and hums on the audio track, I work with Vegas 7, and I was wondering if it’s better to try to play with the Track Equalizer within Vegas or if somebody knows of good plugs in or stand alone software?
    I’ve heard people talk about Soundsoap?
    Any other options?
    Thank you
    Phil

    Sony’s own Sony noise reduction plugin will do the trick.

    SoundSoap 2 does a great job on this kind of noise. Of course, start with the Equalizer because it’s free. There are also tools like iZotope Rx that are incredibly good in these situations but they are a lot more expensive.

    Thanks a lot for your two answer.
    I’ve checked Sony Noise Reduction and I need to ask, are you sure there’s a tool/option to remove hums and hisses?

    Soundsoap sounds great since it’s more than twice as cheap as Sony Noise Reduction.

    What do you think about Sound Forge 9? Overkill for what I need?
    Thanks

    SoundForge 9 is primarily an editor but it does come with some audio restoration tools and it also comes with Sony Noise Reduction plug-in so it’s a great way to get an audio editor and the noise reduction together.

    Ok, so which one, Sony Noise Reduction or SoundSoap?
    I’m going to need one or the other?

    Either Soundsoap or Sony Noise reduction…Any of the two
    would be just as good. You can read up on both and then make
    your choice.

    I’ve noticed that there is a Soundsoad that costs $99 and one that costs $450. Which one are we talking about here?

    One is for entry level users, the other is the professional
    version with far more advanced features. So if costs is the
    concern and you want the best version then sony noise
    reduction is the best option for around $280 instead of the
    $450 for soundsoap.

    Actually, since I’m using Vegas it’s probably better to stick to Sony Noise Reduction, maybe actually get Sound Forge since it also contains Sony Noise Reduction
    Thanks for your help

    I was referring to the $99 version. It does a great job for the price and it’s dead simple to use.
