Need Help With Audio Editing!

Posted by ForNoReason - July 19th, 2015


PLEASE?!

I posted this in the Audio Forum but here it is anyway:

Hey great minds of the AP!

I have a piece of audio:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bcxcl62q2hhzlqx/AAAiP_byhHVZEYexXHeAb47ba?dl=0

It is from a video of my sister's outdoor wedding. As you can hear, there is A LOT of background/garbage noise that is overpowering the foreground speaking. Is there anyway to remove the background noise enough to hear what everyone is saying clearly? Not looking for miracles, I just have no clue where to start with this. Anyone have any help?

Use a noise filter. Isolate and select a sample of the background/garbage noise from the foreground speaking as best you can (when the foreground speaker isn't talking). Then get the noise profile from this sample. Then re-select the entire audio clip and apply the noise profile to sample to remove the noise as desired. Additional notch eqing may also eliminate some of the noise if some of the garbage sound frequencies are distinct from the foreground speakers range.

I got nothing on this right now. I'm sure you figured what I figured on trying noise removal, but the problem of course is that the volume of the speaker is on par or quieter in a lot of sections than the background noise. Other tricks didn't seem to go too far either. I'm not very skilled with this stuff though, so I'm sure somebody way smarter can help you.

Yeah, I am fiddling, but I'm not the greatest =p

I have some Audio restoration solutions kicking around, I'll give it a try tommorow

Thanks man!

Noise? That's a fucking parade right there, hooooooly shit. That's like all over the place.
