    This has to be simple. Rephrase the question, please. What is meant by HANG?

    Nothing. And it seems so simple. How about you?

    Actually, The Photoshop Elements Forum is where I posted it. It appearantly has been combined with PS basics. I still need help.

    One last option is go into “Spectral” view. This view shows you tone rather than amplitude. Highlight and remove, reduce, etc, an area of the wave form. Once you identify it, you can “see” the tone you need to remove. Highlight it and cut it out.

    I think you can knock much of it out.

    Try a couple things: 1. Noise Reduction. I’ve found it to be a handy tool. Right click on a highlighted area of just the noise (no voice or other sounds) and click on “Capture Noise Reduction Profile” Once you go into your Effects menu and into the noise reduction dialog box, you can tweak just how much is eliminated.

    2. You can do this manually. Since it’s giving you fits, go into your effects menu and open graphic equalizer. Click the tab on the EQ that says 30 band. Then, just play the audio and fiddle with each band and see if you can tweak the noise away.

    Maybe, I’ll assume the baby’s voice is higher pitch. Try a couple things.

    Highlight the audio your want to copy to the slient channel. Be careful to only highlight one channel. It’s easy to highlight the whole wave form. TO do this, as you are highlighting, slowing raise or lower the mouse cursor to the top or bottom (depending if you’re on the top or bottom of the wave form) At some point, the other half of the wave form will go dim. Then copy the what you’ve highlighted. Then go the the other channel and mark where you want to insert the copied wave. Make sure you highlight only the silent channel. Then insert. You may have to do it a time or two to exactly match the right and left.

  • I was unable to download the clip, but I can imagine the noise you describe. I’ll give you three remedies.

    1. Noise Reduction. You said you tried it, but I’ve found it to be a handy tool. Right click on a highlighted area of just the noise (no voice or other sounds) and click on “Capture Noise Reduction Profile” Once you go into your Effects menu and into the noise reduction dialog box, you can tweak just how much is eliminated. All of that is easy and self explanitory.

    2. You can do this manually. Since it’s giving you fits, go into your effects menu and open graphic equalizer. Click the tab on the EQ that says 30 band. Then, just play the interview and fiddle with each band and see if you can tweak the noise away.

    3. Disguise the noise or, if you’re doing a video, show the sourse of the noise as a cut a way. If you hear bells clanging in the distance, show a shot of the bells, the church steeple, etc. In this case, show anything that hums, an air conditioner, highway, powerline, who knows. Having it explained helps. “We’re talking with Joe Smith who lives above a cotton mill…” But if you’re just using audio, find a music selection that masks the AC hum. Depending on your situation, use traffic noise, kids playing, or other sound that will lessen the noise distraction. Not exactly what you wanted, but acceptable by most professional standards.
