Audio Filter to Remove Room Tone

I filmed a seminar and on one take the sound did not go through the board. It only went through the camera-mounted shotgun mic thirty feet away from the speakers and not through the lav mics. Can anyone tell me which filter is best to remove some of the room tone and make the speakers sharper?
Thanks!

I've been in your situation. Sometimes it's unavoidable when filming a documentary. I think Bias Soundsoap does a terrific job in removing noise and am more than happy to plug them. There's also a pro version which I'm sure is way better than what I've got. But the standalone plugin can be used with most audio editing software, including STP. You might need to order the CD, I'm not sure if you can buy direct download. Check it out here:

After removing noise, and adding a little EQ, I think you'll be very surprised (and hopefully pleased).

Weird Audio Editing Issue: Importing Room Tone causes beeps on timeline

Okay, I'm fairly new to Final Cut so I'm sure there's a simple fix for this I'm just missing, but I need some help. I'm working on a nearly complete sequence, using the audio mixing set-up. I tried to import room tone to tracks 7 and 8, and for some reason, whenever I do this, these thin red bars appear in intervals at the top of my timeline, and when I do play back, everytime the playhead hits these red bars, I get two beeps. I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Any suggestions on what's causing this?

More than likely you need to increase the number of tracks fcp can monitor in real time. This setting is in user settings: general under real time audio mixing. Try increasing the number of tracks.
It's also possible that this roomtone settings don't match your sequence settings or are in a heavily compressed format such as mp3. If so, use compressor to convert your tracks to 48k 16 bit (probably).

Which audio filter to remove low rumbling sound

Can someone tell me which audio filter is most effective in removing air conditioning rumbling sound from video? I searched older posts but can't find the answer, and I'm not experienced in audio filters. Thanks in advance!

I recommend using the noise reduction tools in SoundTrack Pro. Or, if you want to stay in FCP, use an EQ filter and/or a high pass filter.

Adding "room tone" before or after a slide's existing audio

As a result of my experience in video production, the steps I
use to create my Captivate 3 software application demos are:
(1) rehearsing my software application scenarios in advance
(2) scripting my voice-over narration tightly
(3) recording my narration into a separate high-quality
digital recorder
(4) editing my voice-over in a separate audio editing program
(and, at the end, converting the files to .wav format)
(5) creating a silent Captivate 3 project of the application
scenario
(6) then, adding in my narration to individual slides -- or a
span of slides -- anchoring my timing to either the duration of the
slide/animation or the audio utterance, whichever takes logical
precedence.
Sometimes, I find that I need to slip the audio to let an
image hold a little more than the length of the utterance, which
results in a short span of dead silence at the start or end of the
slide event. Though this dead silence may not be noticeable on
speakers, it is very noticeable when listening with headphones --
which I believe must be the standard for any Captivate program.
In video, one remedies this by cutting in "room tone" to
replace the completely dead silence (absence of signal).
THE QUESTION: Captivate doesn't allow you to simply drop
another audio file into the time line (ahead or after the existing
audio clip). Complete replacement of the audio is all it allows.
Can a Captivate expert please advise me? I'm just learning
Captivate, but have a lot of expectations from the video process
that may simply not apply!

Hi Myron and welcome to our community
From your Film Strip, click the Speaker icon and choose
Edit... to open the Captivate audio editor. Once there, you should
be able to select part of the "Room Noise" and press Ctrl+C to copy
it to the Windows clipboard. Then you may paste it wherever needed.
Does this help? Hope so... Rick

What kind of audio filter would i use.

i need an audio filter that will bring out a distant clapping noise thats you cant even hear during playback. i have raised the dB as high as possible. is there a way to get it heard at all?

Just be aware, that if the audio is very slight and you raise the level .. you will also raise the levels of any surrounding room noise, etc ... so you will get a lot of hiss and maybe even echo. You can also double up the clip to increase the volume but I doubt you would be left with anything useful
Been there, done that, cursed the cameraman

What's the best audio filter and settings to eliminate echo?

I shot an interview in a hallway. What's the best audio filter and settings to reduce/eliminate echo?

There isn't one. You will be trying to remove the same frequencies as those you want to keep.
Reshoot it, strategically position some heavy drapes and use close miking such as a lav and reliable monitoring quality headphones.

Audio filter: flat

Hi:
Is there a good audio filter in FCP that can help reduce the echo effect of a
church? It's hard to understand the speaker because of the magnificent echo
created by the sanctuary. I'd just like to be able to reduce that a bit.
Any thoughts?
Schuney

Hi, this is an age old problem that I'm afraid your stuck with. Many people believe that audio problems are solvable in post production but if you have recorded it then your stuck with it. Usually only buzzes and hums are removable and not always successfully.
I suggest you try experimenting with filters and see if you can improve the sound quality. EQ maybe, but even try a harsh compressor, you never know. There are some noise filters that sample the background noise and then remove it but they tend to make the person sound like they have a speech impediment.
The only real way to solve the problem would have been to get the mic very close to the speaker but in an echoey church even that may not be the answer.
Sorry there is no straight forward answer to your problem.

Room Tone?

Does FCS 2 have room tone in its Audio Effects section? I seem to remember FCP 3 having it?
-Evan Jacobs

Well, since every room you shoot in has very unique tone, it is really best to get it while you are shooting. Thus the reason when a scene is done editing, the audio guy...or camera guy...asks for 30 seconds of absolute quiet on the set while they shoot room tone. With everyone where they are, and all the equipment where it is and on. Because if you waited until the room was empty and the equipment was off, it would sound completely different.
So if there is a room tone sound, I highly doubt it would match the ambience of the location you are in. Get it when you shoot.

Looking for a "color pass filter"..Remove all colors but 1

Looking for a "color pass filter"..Remove all colors but 1 or 2.
FCP6 doesn't seem to have one.
Anyone heard of one that works really well & that is fast to use?

Jim,
You are totally missing the point. I am an Adobe Premiere Pro instructor. I have been for 5 years. I added my 1st FCP system 2 weeks ago & am experiencing typical transitional curiosities as all who switch to other platforms & editing apps do.
PP has a color pass filter. I was curious to see if FCP did. That sounds logical to me:) If posting the question about the possibility of there being a color pass plugin bothers you, well , that has to do with you.
If you take a moment to read the prior correspondence, you might see my point.
I think we can bury the hatchet now:)

Audio Filter missing: Internal Volume Stereo - corrupt project?

Hi,
I am getting this error when I open my project. In addition, no media will play in the project either in the sequence window or the source window.
It all appears and will scrub (with no audio), but will not play.
I dug around a bit and I found that there is a known bug with audio from XML's and that is what I am using (convinced my client to migrate from FCP to Premiere - please don't tell me I made a mistake).
Everything worked brilliantly for a week, including the addition of audio filters, and then all of a sudden - bang. No more.
I have painstakingly deleted every audio filter and I am still getting this error. I have also tried a re-install.
Another oddity is that when I try to quit Premiere, it will not quit all the way without a force quit!
I'm running CC 2014 on a brand new mac pro.
Desperate,
dw

Steve and Bill,
I follow your advice, but it did not solve the problem. It is true that problems began when I used ZOOM recorder at 98kHz/24 bit in my current project (I already changed ZOOM mode to 48kHz/16 bit), but could this be just a coincidence?
In the meantime I checked the rest of my 16 projects (.prel), which were fine before. To my surprise I found that although all of them were made using EXACTLY the same method, some of them are still OK, but most I can not Playback. The messages appearing are of three types:
1. "Audio Filter missing: Internal Balance".
2. "Audio Filter missing: Internal Volume Stereo".
3. "This type of file is not supported or required codec is not installed".
In one case, when I opened a project the first time, the message was "This type of file is not supported or required codec is not installed", but when I opened it second time it said " Audio Filter missing:Internal Volume Stereo". It seems to be random.
Some projects can be opened, but when I try to Playback there is no sound.
I am completly lost. Please help.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

Premiere Audio Filter Issues

So I've finished my project, applied audio filters (Denoiser) to get rid of the hissing sound. Worked flawlessly. Sounds great in my project, but once exported the hissing returns at the begining of each new audio clip. The sound gets perfect again after a second or two but reverts to the pre-filter sound each time a new clip comes in.
So is there a fade in-out for the audio filter? I can't find one (and why would one want one). Doesn't matter how I export, to any file type, always the same, brief original audio which gently fades back to the perfect-filtered audio.
Again, sounds perfect all the way through in my project, but not after rendering. Any ideas?

This is a known issue with certain audio filters in PP. The recommended solution is to process those audio files in Audition instead.
And do file a bug report.

Audio Filter missing: Internal Volume Mono

All of a sudden this error message started popping up
Audio Filter missing: 4:1635083896 1278365011 1802721110 Audio Filter missing: Internal Volume Mono
Also now my timeline is not working, some tracks are missing volume envelopes and when I scroll up and down it's all messed up and I can't do anything.
What's happening?
I tried re-installing the latest update CC 2014.1 but no go...
Help!!

OH man, Im also having loads of other audio issues with this update. Clicks, pops, audio often mutes on it's own. No audio comes through and there's screeching huge noise...ng
Really disappointed with this! Im paying good money for the CC and today alone Ive spent 4 hours trying to figure out these massive issues.
Im using multiband compressor and EQ and the instant I add those to the timeline the troubles begin.
