Set Ambient Noise Print

I am trying to use the Ambient Noise Print process but after I make a selection Soundtrack Pro won't let me select it from the process menu.
I think my problem is because my project is a single-track mono project. Does anyone know if I have to have a stereo pair to use this process?
I don't understand why this is so hard.

I have yet to find a good explanation for my issue but it still happens from time to time.
I can't explain the pattern. Very strange.

Setting Ambient Noise Print shuts down STP

Setting Ambient Noise Print shuts down the waveform editor application in Sountrack Pro every time. I selected an area of the waveform followed by Process>Set Ambient Noise Print which caused the waveform editor to unexpectedly shut down. I tried different files in both aif and stap formats. Other troubleshooting included software updates for Final Cut Studio and the OSX operating software. I deleted and reloaded Final Cut Studio with updates. Repair disk permissions was also performed.
Error log shows that Thread 0 crashed; Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000, but no idea what this all means.
This is a new system with no plug ins or additional third party software installed. All other applications were off when trying to set the ambient noise print.
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 2.7 Ghz dual processor, 2.5 GHZ RAM

The application software is installed on the main harddrive which has 185GB available. The media file is on the second hardrive which has 179GB available. The media file is 16MB. I have tried multiple files with extensions .aif and .stap
I checked the Applications/Utilities/Console log which showed no indication of any print outs prior to the crash. The crash was followed by the following messages. "power-mac g5 crash dump {449} amd , "crash report written to Library/Logs/crash reporter/Soundtrack Pro.crash.log.
The error log indicated the message I printed in my original post. I believe that a big clue is the following list in the error log, "KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE. The Forgotten Manual refers to Kernal errors (not sure if it is the same thing as KERN) related to hardware issues such as bad RAM or after market products. I am using a Bella keyboard that was purchased through Apple and designed specifically for Final Cut Pro which has caused lock up problems when using the jog dial. However, a friend is also using this keyboard with no lockup problems and a similar configuration. I did not want to confuse the matter by adding in other issues but they somehow could be related. I also tried to use the MAC Help pull down and it will not let me select anything (such as Index). Is it time to take the whole thing back to Apple for warranty support?

How do I set a noise print for the entire track? (Back to Basics)

Ok. I've only worked in STP with single audio clips. Now, I'm trying to adjust audio inside a Multi-Track project sent from FCP... and it's a little different. At least to a guy like me.
I'm struggling with the most basic issue, and that's possibly why I can't find an answer to it.
Simply, "How do I go about setting a noise print for an entire track?" I've done this for a single audio clip, but now that I'm in a slightly different environment my old ways don't work. I've looked through video tutorials hoping to find something but no luck.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

With the audio opened in SoundTrack Pro, select (highlight) a small portion that only contains the noise that you want to reduce. Sample that section. then select the entire audio clip and use the Noise Reduction tools to reduce the noise that you sampled earlier.

Replace With Ambient Noise?

It took a round trip from FCP 7 to Soundtrack to get rid of some unwanted sounds and replace them with "ambient" noise. Using "Set ambient Noise Print" and "Replace with Ambient Noise", or names to that effect, it was an easy and intuitive process and the length of the audio track never changed.
Is there a similar way of replacing a part of an audio track with ambient noise without having to worry about changing the length of the track?

My apologies.
If I misunderstood your question, John, please ignore my comment about posting in the Final Cut Studio Forum.
One of the many features I miss with FCP X is round tripping to Soundtrack Pro and Motion - but I still use Soundtrack Pro for and serious audio editing - as long as you work in a non-compressed format (like.aiff) there will be no loss of quality.
Jari (above) shows a simple but effective way to replace with ambient sound within FCP X.

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.

Noise print/noise reduction

Hello,
I'm currently working on cleaning up the audio on my project. The AC was blaring, so I'm working on getting rid of that sound. I understand that I'm supposed to take a noise print and then reduce the noise throughout the project, however once I've selected the section of audio with just the ambient noise, it does not allow me to click on set noise. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. I've read a bunch of posts, and visited the manual, but with no success.
Thanks,
Ashley

Hi, stumbled across this more than a month later, so you've probably resolved the issue one way or another, but thought I'd comment anyway.
I tested a piece of audio just now by silencing it and found that I could still set a noise print, so it isn't the levels. One possibility is that you're still in multitrack mode. If you see a list of tracks to the left of your audio with little speaker icons, volume and L-R sliders, then that's the problem, and you just need to double click the audio you want to fix to open it in the waveform editor.
Also, be sure you're selecting the noise properly: click, drag, and release on the portion you want to select, so that it's darkened.

Set Ambinet noice Print

Im rumnnig STP 1.1 on a G5 with system 10.4.8 and Im now having problems using the "Set Ambient Noice Print" fuction

This use to worke in older versions of STP.
2) If I select a bit of audio in a waveform and make a copy I would like to paste it in another plase in the same waveform, STP shots down?
hop u can help

Noise print

I heard people talked about Noise print/ Process in Sountrack, but I couldn't find those features anywhere? How odo you guys find those, please? I have Soundtrack 1.2 and FCP 4.5.

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?

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.

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,
skip

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 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.

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.

When noise reduction is lifted and stamped, is the noise print remembered?

let's say i have a bunch of clips in a multitrack project and individually noise reduce some of the clips using a unique noise print for each one. if i now want to use the noise reduction settings for one of the clips (but not the last one that i noise reduced) to lift and stamp onto another clip, does the lift and stamp tool remember the noise print that i used to reduce the noise in that clip and use it for the stamped clip? it seems like when i set a new noise print, it overwrites the previous one i had set. i was just making sure that when i select a clip to lift noise reduction from that was not the last clip i noise reduced, it doesn't use the noise print that is "current" from whatever clip i reduced last.
