I just got WavePad and have spent hours trying to figure out how to eliminate the wind noise from the my son's wedding video. This is the only video of the wedding and it really means alot to me to figure out how to get rid of the wind noise. Thanks in advance for any help from the forum members.

Hi there. Realistically you won't be able to eliminate it entirely. I expect there is speech you want to keep & the wind noise is in the background?

You can try to minimise it though. Best option is to go to noise reduction/multiband noise gating & play around with -40 to -30db. It would be the least complicated solution if the speech segments are fairly strong. Taking samples will be pretty useless in this situation as you need a pretty clean track to begin with in order for this to work as the sound you are sampling is still embedded within the stuff that you want to keep, do you see??

If the wind noise is just blustering in the background & it is only the visuals you want, just detach the entire track & put in a cute tune instead.

Hello dear NCH people!

I have really taken to Wavepad. Back several years ago when searching for a good programme I passed on the usual suspects like Audacity etc & really took a shine to Wavepad. I have Adobe Audition & Cubase also, but just sync with Wavepad. I have no idea whether it is up to "pro" standard...??

Now, I am about to record a very lengthy voice only piece for which I need to do post on. I normally don't provide this function, but in this instance I am required to do so.

Does Wavepad have

-a very good de-breathing plugin (the ones for Audition are hit/miss/nonexistent)

-a very good de-essing plugin

Is there also a function to "punch record" ..where you record pickups whilst listening to recorded audio & then jump in with your correction??

I have been using the noisegate function for NR, set to -40db, as I find that every time I try to sample, I get alien-style artefacts no matter HOW quiet the recording.

So ok people, my lifestory there - any & all comments appreciated. Bear in mind though that as I never do post, I have little clue about manual settings in graphs, so I would appreciate print screens & hand-holding all the way!

Many thanks in anticipation!
