Removing a voice from audio

I have Final Cut Studio, including Soundtrack Pro. On my film I'm making, a person - only heard, not seen - interviews someone (seen/heard). All sound is on one layer, from one built in microphone. I need to replace the voice of the interviewer to my own. Step one would be to remove the voice. I supposed it would be just like filtering noise, which I've seen done, with Soundtrack Pro I believe. How do I do this? Sorry if basic. I'm very rusty with everything, am completely new to Soundtrack Pro (used Soundtrack minimally as well). Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately, you can't remove a voice like you can remove noise. What I suggest you to do is this: First, record your voice where you need it to be. Second, edit the original track to remove the other voice. Now, the problem is the ambience is cut off when there's your voice instead of the original one. Find a spot where there's only ambient noise (room tone) and use the Ambient noise tools in STP to make a fingerprint of that. Now, copy the room tone on a new track under your own voice. Extend the ambient noise a little bit before and after your voice to make sure you can crossfade the room tone with the original track.

Removing Wind Noise from Audio in FCP

Is there a way to remove/filter wind noise from audio for use in FCP?

I'm not sure if you're if your sarcasm is targeted at me or Apple but just to clarify:
By rolling off the bottom end prior to using a Noise Print style NR technique you'll get a far better end result than just asking something like SoundSoap to decipher everything.
Wind noise is dynamic. NR tools like SoundSoap and other basic noise tools do not adequately address it. Since much of the problem with wind is in the very low frequency range simply rolling that stuff off cleans up the signal significantly and sometimes is all you need. Adding noise print style NR after the LF has been eliminated will produce a much better result.
Another technique for changing the perceived amount of interference from a dynamic source like wind is to copy a chunk of relatively clean ambient tone and pasting it over areas where there is noise but no dialogue. This step will obviously not help of a strong wind gust happens over the voice but it does improve the overall perceived quality of the recording. I usually don't offer this suggestion right off the bat because it's more of a surgical procedure which takes a bit of skill. What most people are looking to do is just clicking on the "remove noise" button.

How to remove image files from audio files

i dont understand enough about how itunes worked...So my problem is, when i would add album art to a song, i would copy and past to the artwork box on the song. When i would find a better image, i would just past over the last one, not realizing that it was actually adding another image. This form of Copy/past(as i understand) saves the image to the audio file. *My question:* how do i remove the image files from the audio files...?

Right click on the file you want to remove the artwork from, choose Get Info then the Artwork tab, click on the image and press the delete button then OK. To remove from multiple items, highlight the adjacent tracks in your selection (click on the first in the list, hold down the shift key and click on the last), right click and choose Get Info, choose yes when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items, tick the box beside the small empty artwork window about halfway down on the right. (if the songs aren't adjacent to each other but spread through out the playlist or library CTRL & Click on each of the songs you want to highlight)

How to remove backgroud voices from the recoring of speach to the camera?

I have a very frustrating situation, and I really do not know how to go about solving the problem, as my knowledge of soundtrack is limited. I have a recording of a fair event, during which there are short interviews of few people to the camera. Unfortunately the sound of the person who is talking to the camera is spoiled by the sound of the general people voice noise, which is in the background (the sound that you get during big public events in the enclosed space). I need to achieve a clear sound (as much as it is possible) of the person who is talking to the camera and then mix it with some other audio (music track). I have tried using EQ but it didn’t help that much, I am guessing because the noise in the background is people talking which maybe has the same frequency as the person who is talking to the camera.
I have spent hours on this and still cant fix it, but I have a feeling that it must be quite simple to do? I am not quite sure how to use the noise reduction function in soundtrack and if that would be the way to go about it?
Could someone please help me???
Thank you for your time in advance I appreciate your advice.

I don't like to disagree with people who are trying to be helpful, but I wouldn't have much hope in this working. It is designed to remove broadband noise that can be separated out from the sound you want to retain. In your scenario there isn't enough separation between the background and the main voice to not kill the patient with the operation.
Nevertheless if you want to try it, here are the instructions.
Open the file in the Audio Editor.
Select an area of the file that only has background talking, where there is no main speaker present.
Make the menu selection *Process>Noise Reduction>Set Noise Print*
Now select the whole file
Make the menu selection *Process>Noise Reduction>Reduce Noise* - that will bring up this plug-in control. Adjust the parameters, click the play button and see if it helps. The threshold and amount will have the most effect, the tone control may help. It may help to listen only to what is being removed by checking the Noise Only box. If you get something you like, then click the Apply Button.

Even though you can undo this you should make a backup before you change your files.

Removing "phone" sound from audio made over the phone

I'm producing a documentary and want to get some sound bites from a range of people all over the country The only way to get them is by phone. Does anybody have filter info that will let me remove the "phone" sound from these clips?

A phone sounds like a phone because it's already filtered. A lot of both the high and low frequency information is removed from the audio signal on a phone line. Once it's removed there's not really a way to get it back. You can try to reduce the most offensive "tinny" frequencies with an EQ, but you won't be able to add the full frequency range back in.

How can I separate voice from game sounds in a audio channel?

Hello, I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and I want to know how can I separate my voice from the game audio from a video gameplay who are in the same audio channel.

As far as I know this cannot be done. Unless you do some really, REALLY intense editing in Adobe Audition.
I am a fellow lets-player and what I do is record my microphone input with a free-ware program called Audacity and record the game sounds with Mirillis Action! (or FRAPS, whatever you use). This way my voice and the game sounds are seperate.

Removing voice from a song?

Does anyone know if you can remove the voice in a song to make it an instrumental??? Thanks

In general, there is a certain way to do that. There are programs that can remove the vocals from the song if the song is in stereo, and the voice is mixed "in the middle" and the rest of the instruments are not. The programs calculate the wave that is common between the two channels and remove it. I do not know if GB can do that, and I am almost certain that it can't.

Audio books - remove a book from Nano

How do I remove an audio book from my Nano? Removing music works like the tutorial but that same process doesn't work for books.
Thanks

To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete. For a WMA book (Windows), select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.

How do i remove buzz and hiss from audio track?

I'm using Premiere Elements 13, Windows 8, 64 bit
My original film has some hiss and buzz that I would like to remove. I tried applying DeNoiser and New Blue Hum Remover, but neither seemed to make a difference. Perhaps I need to tweek the tools to make them suppress more of the unwanted sound? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Just some quick things to check out for now.
If the Premiere Elements audio effects are not working for you, please check out the noise removal offered by the free audio editor named Audacity. Have you used that before?
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Here are Audacity suggested how to. Think noise reduction rather than noise removal.

Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either. I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either. Anybody...?
Thanks!

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Want to remove Lossless files from dual-format library, keep elsewhere

My iTunes library consists entirely of music ripped from audio CDs. Each CD was ripped twice, once in Apple Lossless format, once in AAC format.
For several reasons (chief among them the desire to free up a lot of disk space on my iMac), I want to remove the Lossless files from my iTunes library. But I want to keep all of the AAC files there as they are, along with my playlists (all based on the AAC files only).
However, for a measure of future-proofing, I still want to keep the Lossless files. And whenever I buy a CD, I want to still import it as both Lossless and AAC, keeping the Lossless files handy while adding the AAC files to the iTunes library.
I must obviously begin with an external Firewire drive big enough for my Lossless content. How do I proceeed from there?

I would take this approach, but others might have better suggestions.
First, when you get your external drive, copy the entire iTunes folder to the external drive which will copy everything (media files, database files, artwork, etc.).
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location. Now you can sort your library by "Kind" which is the format it is encoded as and all the Apple Lossless files will be grouped together. Select the first one, scroll down to the last one, Shift-Select the last one which will select all the ones in between and hit delete! Now your internal drive library is everything except Apple Lossless.
If you wish, you can switch back to the external drive library and do the same for the AAC files.
Now when ever you add a new CD you can do it a couple ways. But probably the most straight forward is to simply put in the CD, open the internal library, import as AAC files. Switch to the external library and import again as lossless.
