No Option To Set Noise Print in Soundtrack Pro

This is another newbie to Soundtrack Pro question. I have background hiss from some terrible audio recording (not my doing) that I would like to utilize the noise reduction feature via setting a Noise Print. Once I select a section of my audio track and go to Process, however, it does not give me any options. Meaning, the options are all in gray, and cannot be selected/clicked on. Any ideas why this is? Everywhere I search (Discussions, phone support, at the Apple Store), I am told to follow the same steps, but I continue to be unable to choose Set Noise Print. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much!

Is this a multitrack project? If so, you must first double-click the clip to get it in it's own window.

Setting noise print

I'm having a but of trouble with SoundTrack Pro. I select the noise in the track but 'Set Noise Print' and all the other options are greyed out. This happens even with new projects and tracks from my iTunes folder! How do I fix this so I can use the noise print filteres?

I'm having the same problem. I've used "Set Noise Print" successfully before, but this is the first time I've tried to use it since I got the FCP "crossgrade." Is this a bug in the new version?

Noise reduction using "Set Noise Print" in Process Menu

I have FCP 5.2 with Pro Tools and have searched the forum for the specific technique mentioned several times but NOT detailed out sufficiently for me. I want to remove a hiss and can isolate with ins/outs in the audio track where there is no voice. (this is a voice over produced clip).
I can click on the track and see the wave forms in the viewer. I can also edit the in and out playing only the his.
From what I gather, I can now somehow "set Noise Print" doing something (?) and then somehow (?) copy this noise to the entire click for removal. I know I could probably go through an extensive equalizing trial and error but if I could try this first, it may be just what I need.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,

We would all love this to be an FCP question, because it would be fab if this could be done within FCP. But alas, it is a Soundtrack Pro feature. Select your clip and "Send To" Soundtrack and you'll find noise removal there.
I'm guessing Pro Tools does something similar, so if you're familiar with it maybe you want to look there.

Set Noise Print Won't Work

Hi,
I just got final cut studio because I am doing a history project and i was wondering how to get rid of the microphone noise. I have tried using process..set noise print.. and then reduce noise, but it doesn't work. It only reduces the noise in the section that I chose.
I looked at the demo and after they get rid of the boat noise, the "set noise print" button is grayed out. This does not happen with mine. Does anyone know what the problem is? If not, does anybody have a suggestion to record voice? (I used the internal iMac microphone when I recorded).
Thanks to whoever posts

In addition to what mlehmann said, I find it is helpful to listen to just the noise that will be removed, and adjust the settings so that you don't hear sounds that you want to keep. For example, if you are reducing noise on a dialog track and you listen to the noise only, and you hear part of the voices, then you will probably end up introducing audible artifacts. Try adjusting the settings so that you don't hard bits of the voices in the noise-only mode.

Set Noise Print not setting

I've been searching the archives, but no luck. I Set Noise Print, but when I preview Noise Only, it's silent. When I apply the Reduce Noise, it seems to be reducing using a generic print. I've successfully done this before, but I'm not sure what I'm missing this time.
Thanks in advance!
Brett

Nevermind. I realized that I had not adjusted the Noise Threshold to the point it found the primary frequency range of the noise. I shifted the Noise Threshold and then the Noise Only had lots o' level.

Set Noise Print grayed out

I imported a Quicktime file with audio and video.
I selected a portion of the audio and went to Process, but "Set Noise Print" is grayed out.
How can I fix this?

Hi United18,
You need to first open the file in the waveform editor. You cannot perform this operation in a multitrack project. Once youve opened the file in the waveform editor (you should see just the mono or stereo audio for that one piece of media) then you'd typically select an area of noise (click drag to select) and then choose process->Set Noise Print. This noise print will be used if you then reduce noise using process->Reduce Noise.
I've found that it is good to experiment. There are some files where I've had better results just running reduce noise without a noise print, and some files where I've had fantastic results by first setting a good noise print.
Another tip is to audition just the noise to see if you hear any stuff that you don't want removed (e.g. dialog). If you audition just the noise (click the noise only checkbox), what you hear is what will get removed. If you hear bits of dialog that you don't want removed, try adjusting the settings until you don't hear these things in the "noise only" audition.
I hope that helps.

How to show the layout option for double-sided printing on Acrobat Pro X on Mac?

Adobe Acrobat Pro X version 10.0.0 print dialog does not show the option to select Layout for two-sided (double-sided) printing. How to fix it?
System: Mac OS X 10.6.6 on Mactel
Thanks.

David,
Wow, it worked. Many thanks. This is what I did, following your directions to print PDF files as double-sided:
01-Command P & Click "Printer button".
02-Click Yes.
03-Click the Popup Arrow to display contents.
04-Select Two-sided "Long-Edge binding" or whatever needed and Click Print.
05-Click OK to Print.
What fooled me is that from Word (.doc) files the screen on step 3 and 4 show directly selecting a popup menu on the initial print window, whereas when printing PDF files it is required to go through steps 1-2-3 above.
Again, many thanks. You made my day!!!

Print out soundtrack pro timeline

Is there any way of printing out a hard copy of the timeline with wave forms and markers/comments?

Command-Shift-3 will take a screenshot of the screen. You can then open that with Preview and print it.

How do I set up printing on Macbook pro, iPad, iPhone

I have two homes with Century Link home networks with wireless routers, we use this Macbook pro, two Ipads, two iphones, as well as pc's. We have an Epson R3000 photo printer and an HP envy 114 (airport) how can we make all these computers work on both printers.

For the MacBook Pro and the other PCs, add these printers as you would add any printer.
For Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x), that would be in System Preferences > Hardware > Print & Scan. Unlock the padlock if necessary, then click the "+" below the list of printers, and follow the printer-specific addition procedures.
The iPads and iPhones (iOS devices) can only print to AirPrint-capable printers. The Epson R3000 doesn't seem to have that capability, but the Envy 114 does claim it. Assuming the iPad or iPhone is on the same network as the Envy 114 at the time you attempt to print, the iOS device should find the printer among the available print devices.
For the Epson 3000, there are programs that you can get to allow the MBP or other Mac to act as an AirPrint device on the network and pass the print job along to any printer the Mac can reach. I use one called Printopia. There may be such programs that run on Windows PC; I do not know.
For the Windows PCs, you should ask on a Windows forum, perhaps one specific to the version of Windows that you run on (each of) them.

Applying Noise Print and Noise Reduction to Entire Sound File

It has been a while since I've opened Soundtrack Pro so I can't quite recall a final step in a noise reduction process I'm attempting:
1. I selected a portion of the track I'm working on that has just the tape hiss I'm trying to reduce.
2. then I selected "Set Noise Print",
3. then "Reduce Noise"
Question: how do I now apply the Reduce Noise setting to the entire track and not just on the portion of the track I sampled for the the Noise Print? I can't remember what the next step is. What am I forgetting here? Thanks.

It was so obvious that I figured it out immediately after the post.
After "Set Noise Print" I reselected the entire track and THEN applied "Reduce Noise".
Maybe getting a full night's sleep sometime would help me figure this sort of thing more quickly on my own.

Noise reduction on track1 using noise print from track2

I have an audio track from a video project that was recorded on track1 that has a lot of interference from the wirelss mic that was so strong that it crossed over to the idle track2. Track1 has the voice and interference intermixed. Track2 just has the interference. How can I take a noise print from track2 and use it to reduce the corresponding noise on track1? Any ideas?

Bristol87 wrote:
In addition, to make the process more challenging, I am unable to get the audio in the edit frame to play at the same gain as in the multi-track frame. In edit mode I seem to be at a 0db gain whereas the multi-track is playing at over 12 to 20db.
I am also unclear how to get the changes back to Final Cut. When I go to File to save it I do not see a Save option that would transfer the edited audio back to the Final Cut Project.
For the additional items you mention:
1. In your multi-track project, check your volume envelopes on the track, and check the level on your submix and master. To do this, click the the disclosure triangle just left of the track name. You'll see in purple the envelopes section, which is like keyframes in FCP.
2. You have to export a mix to send it back to FCP. Go to File -> Export, save the master mix with a file name, and most likely as an aiff file, then in the dropdown "After Export" choose "Send to Final Cut Pro Sequence."
For your noise reduction questions - applying noise reduction is for broadband, sustained noise, like an air conditioner or a hum. Are you trying to apply the same noise reduction to several files because they have the same type of background noise? I generally just save my settings, but set a new noise print for each file. I'll give you a quick step by step:
Select a bit in the file where there's JUST noise. Then go to Process -> Noise Reduction -> Set Noise Print. Then select the entire file, and go to Process -> Noise Reduction -> Reduce Noise. When the noise reduction window comes up, you just need to listen and play with the settings until you're satisfied with how it sounds. As a starting point, take a look at the level of the noise alone, and use that as the threshold. Usually 100% noise reduction doesn't sound good, but you just have to use some trial and error. Too much sounds worse than too little, in my opinion. When satisfied, apply it and save the preset.
Hope this helps!

"Capture Noise Print" greyed out?

Hi, I'm new to Audtion, jumping over from using mostly Audacity.
I'm selecting at least 1 second of noise on a file in Multitrack, and the option to "capture noise print" is always greyed out.
Any help would be appreciated
Mac OSX

When I went from Effects / Noise Reduction / Capture Noise Print - is greyed out but when I went to Noise Reduction (Process) the I was able to Capture Noise Print. This seemed like a fine work around but I'm not sure why the option doesn't work. There was only a few seconds so I'm not sure but I guess its a non-issue. Thanks for your time here!

Soundtrack Pro Newbie - Reduce Noise Problem

Hey Guys,
This will probably sound like a stupid question but why is reduce noise greyed out when I try to select it? I have imported audio, selected portion of noise, set noise print - but when I select the whole file and try to reduce noise it won't let me.
Please help
Thanks
Tim

It sounds to me like you haven't isolated the noise properly. There is video on noise reduction in the Apple Tutorial online. You may find the steps there helpful.

Problem sending to soundtrack pro

I am using FCP 5.1.4 and in my timeline I have a clip with bad audio that i want to clean up in soundtrack. I right-click the file and go to "send to.." "soundtrack pro audio file" is greyed out, but the multitrack option is not, so i tried the multitrack option. In soundtrack i cannot set noise print or anything in the multitrack file. If i disconnect the right and left channels I can send them one at a time to soundtrack and clean them up, but that is too time consuming after a while. How can I send a stereo file, clean up the noise, and have it appear in FCP? I know i have done it before, but for some reason it will not work now.
Thank you for your help.

Okay... so now it's not working again.
This was after getting the message:
Unable to render file
when I tried to normalize.
Then STP froze up on me and I had to force quit.
Resent from FCP, then tried to double click on a track to open it up, and STP crashed on me.
This is about the 5th crash I've had this evening in STP.
Not sure what the problem is... maybe I need to re-install the OS. But that's not going to happen tonight.
Would be nice to know if others are having this problem or if it is just me?
