#CAPTURE NOISE PRINT AUDITION UPDATE#

Which method would you prefer if the tone shifted frequencies throughout the song? Try to remove this (pure) tone, using either of the methods covered above, enjoy the sweet sounds of Bach's most well-known piece, and then consider the following: The file 'Bach.mp3' contains a recording of Bach's First Cello Suite: Prelude (I was going to record my own version, but my neighbor complained)- except that after a couple bars, an irritating, high-pitched tone kicks in. This exercise is going to involve a little more critical thinking.

In fact, let's break our signal into two parts and look at the Fourier Transform of each.Ĭongratulations! You just applied Fourier Transforms and filters to real-world applications! If you want, go ahead and try recording your voice and removing background noise from it, then proceed to part 2 when you are ready! Third, notice that just after the 3-second mark, our A440Hz signal cuts off, leaving us with the background noise. While it may appear as though we have harmonics, because there are spikes at other frequencies (such as 110 Hz), we will see in a minute that those frequencies are equally as prevalent in our Pure-Noise sample. An acoustically generated 440Hz signal, such as a key on a Piano, would ring with harmonics of higher and lower frequencies. Second, our pitch has very few harmonics, because it was computer generated. To observe this, notice that the loudest (tallest) peak lies just after 400 Hz (around 440). Let us take a minute to observe a few things here.

This will update the Fourier Graph to show the Fourier Transformation of your entire signal at all selected times. Once you do that, go ahead and select your entire signal (click and drag), then hit Scan Selection in your Frequency Analysis window. To tweak the reduction so it doesn't remove audio that you want to keep, move the Reduce by: slider to the left, as shown in Figure 21 (below), until you no longer hear dialogue.If you are following along with Audition, you are going to want to hit Alt + Z to enable your Frequency Analysis window. Any time you hear significant amounts of the actual speech, you're removing significant portions of that speech. Sumie's discussion-audio that we don't want to move-which tells us that we're reducing the sound too much.

At the 7:36 mark in the clip above, you can hear a little bit of Dr.

When you select the Output Noise Only checkbox, Audition plays only the noise that you've told it to remove. When you toggle it back on, you should hear it goneĪnother tool I like to use is Output Noise Only (you'll find it in the lower-left section of the dialog, as shown in Figure 20). It's pretty faint here because of the screencam capture and encoding, but in your own projects, when you capture a noise print for noise reduction and open the Noise Reduction dialog, and then click this button, you should be able to hear-with the effect toggled off-the noise that you're attempting to reduce. At the 6:48 mark, you can hear the audio from this clip with the noise reduction effect toggled on and off. I've reposted this article's companion video clip below for reference.
