Hi
I have a short film I am editing and I have an annoying little grasshopper on my soundtrack. I know that it is not essential that i get rid of it from the track, but perhaps it is because i know its there that it is bugging me. sound editing is my weak point, so i am not too clued in to how to fix it, if i could tone it down without effecting the dialogue. the only software I have access to inregards to sound editing is sound forge. i also have the sonic noise reduction plugins but am not too sure how to use them. any help appreciated

whilst i am asking, another bit of footage i am editing for a friend has excessive trafic noise which drowns out dialogue. is it repairable slightly. i know there is no magic wand to amke it perfect, but is there anyway to med it a little

thanks for any help

can you post a small mp3 as an example of how the audio happens.

I mean because if it is happening while the people are talking then its a little more tedious, but if mostly in between dialog then thats easy

Would this do?

Styrange that niormal noise reduction didn't seem to work. I first tried the normal, of capturing the noise profile, i.e. a section of just the noise to be removed and then applied that filter across the whole thing. It seemed to do next to nothing.

So I changed view in Adobe Audition and noticed that the 'noise' was all up at around 8000Hz, so I opened the VST Eq effect dialogue and chose the Default profile then selected the 'high' dial. When the green dot appeared intot he profile view I dragged it to the bottom to remove these frequenceies - or atleast reduce them down.

thanks for showing me it can be done. ive never used adobe audition before but think that I can get access to it on a friends computer so I'll give it a shot following the process you used.
thanks alot

Hi again
Forgive me if this is a simple and basic question (i am new to sound editing) but what exactly is the VST Eq effect dialogue i only used audition v1.0 for the first time today and seem to be finding my way around it but I am unfamilar with that term

thanks for the help

VST is a form of audio plugin such as DX, RTAS, etc.

EQ stands for equalizer.
