Dealing with camera audio

[Peter Groom]

Hi
what exactly does it sound like. Overloaded bottom end?
Its not within avid but i use izotope RX to clean up audio like what i suspect this sounds like quite often . The problem with eq is it takes all audio out at a given frequncy, tather than isolating a particular problem
If you upload a short clip that has the problem ill have a look for you.

Yes, What Peter said.

Also, what I first do is sample the noise in a noise reduction plugin if possible to element most or all of the background noise. This of course in an audio program such as Audition. Not sure there is such a plugin in MC or Symphony.

Audacity is free and I believe it has such a plugin.

As far as EQ goes, it depends on the noise characteristics but often you can make progress by rolling off the low frequencies. I did that with some windy beach footage a friend of mine shot.

Hope that helps,
Robert A. Ober

Thanks so much for your help. I just included audio that gives you a good sampling of the issue, and Vimeo is the final delivery format so it’s as compressed as it’s going to be.
