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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Hp Officejet 8000 Set to print Gray scale but still using color

    Hp Officejet 8000 Set to print Gray scale and use only Black ink, Draft Quality, but still using color ink. I'm replacing color ink cart more often the Black. I understand even when set to black only it will still use some color in cleaning and such. but not the amount of color it is using now. Printer has me pissed total waste of money. I'm ready to get my Xerox Phaser solid ink printer fixed. as it was super cheap on ink.

    Hello Lynn,
    Is your network router located near your desktop PC and L7590 officejet?
    If so, I would suggest that you connect the L7590 to the router with an ethernet cable(you can also leave your usb cable connected to the desktop). Then you can connect more directly (still through the network) to the L7590 with your dv7 laptop instead of connecting through the desktop.  Since your dv7 is wirelessly connected to the router, and the L7590 is also connected (wired) to the same router, the setup is much easier.
    If you want to try this, first download the software from hp.com (click here for the download page).  When you run the installation on your dv7 notebook you will be guided through the steps necessary for connecting to the printer via the network.
    Dont forget to reply and let us know how it goes!

  • 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.

  • CS2:  "Set Poster Frame" grayed out?

    I have the CS2 version of Encore. I want to set a poster frame in a timeline. I have the desired timeline open in the timeline viewer, and displayed in the timeline monitor window. Regardless of whether I have the monitor window highlighted/active or the timeline viewer window highlighted/active, when I go to the Timeline menu at the top of the screen the choice to "Set Poster Frame" is grayed out, so I can't choose it.
    Why would it be grayed out? What do I need to do in order to be able to choose it?

    Is the chapter marker for which you want to set the poster frame selected?

  • "Set Region" button grayed out, but I still have 3 region changes left!

    Greetings!
    In my black MacBook 13", the DVD Player's "Drive Region" dialog says I can change the region 3 more times.
    The current drive region is Region Code 1.
    I want to play a Region Code 4 DVD. The dialog says "Select New Region for Drive", and has a menu with "Region Code 4" hi-lighted, but the "Set Drive Region" button is grayed out and I cannot make the change.
    Grr!

    Just to make sure you're aware, but your next change is your final one.
    Why don't you try a Region 1 DVD just to see if it works, and to eliminate any chance that it's some hardware issue.
    If the DVD does work, then you may have to reset your Mac:

  • Why is "set first vertex" grayed out?

    I'm new to After Effects and am rather boggled by its complexity. I have searched this question and didn't find it in the forum.
    I created a path in Illustrator and pasted it into the position property of a shape object. The path works just as I wanted it to as a motion path. However, the default first vertex was not where I wanted it, so I selected the one I wanted to set as the first vertex, but the switch to do so was grayed out. I did have only one vertex selected.
    Does anyone have a solution or an explanation?
    I'm using a Macbook Pro with a dual core chip and 8GB of RAM, AE CS5, OS X 10.6.8.
    Thanks

    That's how I solved the problem, by reordering keyframes, and it works as planned. I was wondering if the graying out of the swiwtch has to do with imported paths.
    If I may ask pose a different but related problem here, when I draw paths (not as masks but as shape layers) in AE, copy and then paste them into a property such as position, I get a new layer and not a motion path. I do have the shape path selected in the timeline, but still get a new layer. Pasting in an open path made in Illustrator works in the same comp, however.
    Thanks

  • "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!

  • Why is "Reduce Noise" grayed out?

    Trying to clean up an audio, I selected a section where no one was talking and applied Process - Noise Reduction - Set Noise Print. The SCBBOD (Spinning Colored Beach Ball of Doom) went around for a while. Then I was hoping to try Process - Noise Reduction - Reduce Noise... but that option is grayed out, can't select it.
    Anybody know if I forgot a step? Or did I lose a plug-in?

    The Way this feature work is the following:
    You have to go to the File Editor. To do that:
    1) Double click the clip to open an external File editor
    or
    2) Select the clip, then click the File editor tab in the lower pane (CTRL+S to toggle ON)
    - Now you can make your selection selection (you have to select just a few time of "bad" noise)
    - Go to Process Menu -> Noise Recuction -> Set noise print
    - Un-select your selection in the file editor and choose (from the same menu) REDUCE NOISE.
    Now you have a new black floating window ... and you have to set the threshold (watch your meter on the right pane (CTRL+D). Set "REDUCTION" about 70%. Playback from this window and Use your hears. 100% is not advised (you have clean sound but it sounds unreal). Use also the Bypass button and the Noise only check button to help you). Then click APPLY

  • Printer Stays Grayed out on TS

    2008 r2 TS server
    when i add a printer locally and standard TCP/IP it stays grayed out. i have added many other printers of the same and different models, and they are fine...  why would this printer stay gray and not print anything i send to it?

    Hi,
    à
    when i add a printer locally and standard TCP/IP it stays grayed out.
    Did you mean that the new added printer grayed out? Would you please provide a screenshot of it? That may help
    me to understand better. Thanks for your understanding.
    When you add this printer, did you get any error message? Did you open Event Viewer and check if find any relevant
    event? If possible, please re-add this problematic printer and check if this issue still exists.
    If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
    Hope this 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.
    Bye
