Wind noise on audio channel
Howdy, I have some wind noise on one of the audio channels that I would like to delete. Just the wind, not the whole channel. How do I do this? Thanks in advance for the help.

Right click on the event and select left only or right only.

Hi, but I don’t want to remove the whole channel. I just want to be able to edit it. I know where the wind noise is, and I want to be able to remove just these sections where it is.
thanks.

Duplicate the track, make one the left only and the other the right only, then edit the offending event like you would any other event. Maybe turn on the volume envelope and duck the level where the wind noise appears.

Right, I’ve got it now, thank you very much.

Sorry, for being such a dumb puck here, but when I do the audio duck on the left channel, and then try to combine both channels then the audio envelope drops across both channels so I get no sound out of either channel where the audio envelope is established.

Okay, I think I have it. I have to duplicate the track first, then apply left channel, do the audio duck on the duplicated track and then marry up the two.

Another alternative, and free but potentially risky to audio quality, is to use software called Audacity.
There is a way to completely eliminate the wind noise by using the software to eliminate the noise you specify throughtout the audio track.
It can eliminate wind, a car driving by, humming in the background, etc.
Only problem is it CAN also affect dialogue in your audio track. It can take away from the quality of it, as well as if overdone, make audio sound digitized. You’d have to play with the settings.
Here’s an instructional video on how to use Audacity to do just that.

Do a search online for AUDACITY to find the download.
May not be what you want, though.

Yes, I stumbled across this software when I was trying to figure out how to eliminate the wind. There is an example of its use on Youtube, and I had decided to follow up on the software. So, thanks very much. I will take a hard look at it.

“and then marry up the two.”
Completely unnecessary. Just leave it as two tracks.
