FCP Audio Filter to Lesson Wind on Mic

Hi, I am putting together a video where, in production, there was heavy wind that disturbed the lav mic.
Can anyone recommend an audio filter in FCP that might lesson this low pitch rustling? Any suggestions on settings?
Thanks!

Use Soundtrack Pro's "noise print"
It's in the STP manual or Ian lays it out here:

  • Best audio filter for heavy wind noise ?

    Hello everyone
    I'd like to know what is the most used audio filter in order to recuce a heavy wind noise without affecting the voices of a conversation in my movie ?
    Thanks

    I don't know what people use, but I've always been told that the best way to get good audio is to get it right the first time. Since I'm no sound guy, I struggle to get anything to sound good.
    Export your offending Audio to .aiff and pull it into SoundTrack. Go to your Effects on the middle left of your screen and pick SoundTrack Pro>Channel EQ. Drag this into the area under your Effects bin. Then start playing your sound while adjusting the Advanced Dialog.
    You can tweak different frequencies and try to pull out the wind. However, wind often is around the same range as voices, so it's going to cause some distortion.
    Beyond this, if the wind was really bad it will have caused "popping" that will have mutilated any talking at that moment.
    Can you do any looping/re-record the voices? That may be your best bet.
    I'm hoping some sound guy comes here and sets me straight and helps you out. Perhaps check the SoundTrack forums....
    I'm sorry I'm not more help.

  • Reducing Wind noise / Audio filter for wind noise

    Hi,
    I have a project here where a client has asked that I cut out the wind that is disturbing the dialogue in one of the clips. I am not sure if this can be done and would like to be able to advise the client accordingly.
    Here's what I know about the clip I recieved: I did not record the audio however I do know that the audio was recorded on a shot gun mic placed directly under the person speaking to it. No boom, just hand held.
    I've tried using the low pass filter (makes it too tinny), and even exporting it to soundtrack pro and used the noise reduction application (makes a strange digital sound instead of wind) to no avail.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. If you need anymore info about the project files please let me know.
    Is it possible to use a filter in FCP 6 to reduce the wind sound?

    The noise print (what you did in STP) is tricky to use with wind since the sound varies in intensity and sonic frequency. This is different than simple a/c hum or a noisy air vent in a conference room - stuff that has a consistant frequency and volume.
    The problem with wind is that it also works in the same frequencies as human voice - which means when you knock down the wind, you also diminish the voices.
    I've used a plugin called Sound Soap Pro (not the simpler SoundSoap) from Bias for a number of years. It works within STP and has sophisticated noise reduction capabilities. It is not inexpensive but if your client is footing the tab, it may be less expensive than a reshoot. (It must also be said there is also no guarantee SSP will clean up the audio to an acceptable level...)
    Good luck,

  • 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?

    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.

  • Audio Filter that make your files sound better

    I have recorded all of my audio files with a shotgun mic and they sound pretty good I just wanted to see if there was any icing on the cake filter that you can think of to give it more of a rich sound.

    There is nothing wrong with learning and we all have this fact in common; once we were all newbies and had to learn. I wish I would have had these resources when I was a kid but all I had was a Kodak Instamatic and and super8 movie camera. Pretty lucky then!
    But, looking at your body of posts, you expect people in a virtual space to know what you're doing, what your video looks like and how it sounds. We don't even know how your rig is configured or what you're using for equipment so how is anyone supposed to answer such ambiguous questions on subjects of rank subjectivity for you?
    There is huge merit is figuring stuff out for yourself as this way leads to better learning than having someone just point out the way. Everyone needs help occasionally -- or frequently in my case -- so when you do, come and ask with specifics in mind. Join Lynda.com for a month, it's cheap at $25.00 and then bookmark and devour everything in kenstone.net, provideocoaltion, adam wilt's website and I'll guarantee you'll learn more than running in here and asking constant generalities. It's my biggest problem with this forum and others; everyone thinks there's a magic filter/plugin, no one wants to figure out anything for themselves and because FCP and Macs are cheap, all this should be easy. Well, whatever.
    So, A., learn up cause I don't understand audio to save my life and when I need help with audio compressor settings, after I've read the manual and Jon Chappell's great audio filter articles and experimented on my own and researched the forums, I'm asking you for help.

  • 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.

  • *** Audio filter to boost low volume?

    I have a clip that was recorded at too low of a volume. I would like to now augment this in post. Is there an audio filter that I could apply in FCP that would increase the speaking parts and at the same time reduce the hiss?
    Thanks in advance!

    The Dynamic Processor filter can increase volume, but sometimes it's quicker and easier to just duplicate the track [Shift Option drag]. For reducing the hiss I'd recommend the noise reduction process in SoundTrack Pro or applying an EQ filter and reduce the frequencies of the hiss.

  • Audio Filter NORMALIZE AUDIO

    I have edited on all sorts of NE systems, and have found the Normalize audio filter in all. Does FCP have this feature, or is there any way to normalize (keep all audio levels within the same range.?)
    Please let me Know!!!!
    Thanks

    I believe that is in Soundtrack but not infront of my system at the moment.

  • Audio Filter to  Eliminate  hiss ?

    Is there any Audio Filter that will help eliminate hiss I picked up from very load air-conditioning units , during an interview ??

    Go over to proapptips.com and look for Dave Slater's way to tune out unwanted frequencies. It's pretty cool, right inside FCP.
    Another, probably the best, filter is a good audio engineer on the set.

  • Audio filter have no effect

    I am an audio engineer who is a newbie to Final Cut. I am having a problem with the audio on a music video I'm doing for a client. The situation is this: I select an audio clip in the timeline that I want to apply an audio filter to. So I double click it so it shows in the viewer,then go to the Effects tab and choose an audio filter, which then appears in the viewer under the Filters tab. All well and good. But then when I make changes to the filter parameters I do not hear changes in the audio, and that's the problem. I have tried dragging the Filter from the effects tab directly to the clip in the timeline- same thing, nothing happens when I make changes. Of course I tried making radical changes which should be very apparent, but I still hear no changes. What am I missing here?
    Thanks,
    Monte

    I get the impression that rendering is a big deal in Final Cut, but at first I thought rendering only affected video. In the audio programs I usually work with, there is no rendering. Changes made are immediately audible.
    Yes, you're finally getting the right impression. I know very well what you mean though. I work with pro tools all the time and I love that all the effects are real time. Final Cut is a whole different story. Usually if I need to do anything more with my audio other than apply a compressor or gain I take it to SoundtrackPro or ProTools. FCP is terrible with audio. And yes, you have to render both audio and video. (In your settings you are able to change how many tracks FCP can play at the same time but doesn't seem like you got that many anyway).

    I do not have to render in order to hear them, but there is an annoying beep until I do render.
    If you're hearing that beep then that means that you DO need to render. Exporting from Garage band and ProTools has never been a problem for me. Maybe you have some really weird timeline setting. Mind sharing those with us? In the future, it's always best to work in a ProRes timeline.

    But wouldn't deleting my audio renders file be counter-productive? All of the audio has to be rendered eventually, right?
    FCP renders audio pretty quickly. Deleting the audio render files is not counter-productive because fcp will render those in no time and this time they're be playing right. Sometimes I need to do that a few times per project. It's annoying as **** but when you're not working in a native fcp format you're pretty much setting yourself for a disaster so that's the price you're gonna pay!
    And yes, all of the audio will be rendered eventually before you export.

  • 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.

  • What Audio filter to use

    I just transferred some VHS tapes into FCP and what to adjust the audio. Most of the men voices seem to deep/"basey" (can't think of a better word). I guess I'm looking for a audio filter that would adust the base or treble? Thanks for your help. Loran

    Hello, thanks for the suggestion. I looked at it and there are at least 25 to 30 sliders. Which ones would you use to make low pitch voices into higher ones.
    Thanks

  • 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

  • Capturing VHS through DV cam to FCP - Audio clipping!!

    Hey all,
    I'm capturing a VHS through my DV cam (it has analogue to digital version) and when it comes into FCP the audio is clipping (going above 0db)
    Is there anyway to lower the input volume?
    Thankyou
    Paul

    The camera doesn't let you change the input volume
    What I did was:
    Made the VIDEO ONLY go from VCR > DV CAM > MAC
    But made the audio go to VCR > PC LINE IN > PC LINE OUT > DV CAM > MAC
    When the audio came through my PC - I lowered the LINE IN volume so on the FCP audio level meters the audio peaked at -6dbs.
    Not a bad idea hey
    Lucky I had all the cables and connectors laying around.

  • 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.
