movie audio.

[lee79]

I had been editing on some audio files from dvd movies and some that i downloaded. When using "Dynamic Range Compressor" i worked around with it to smooth out the sound in the audio. i got that. Is is the Noise Gate Threshold that removes background noise, if so is it sliding it to the right that reduce background noise. and what is the ratio

To remove background noise, load your audio file into Wavepad:

1. On the Effects tab, click the Cleanup button and select Noise Reduction, Audio Spectral Subtraction. Click the preset drop-menu and select voice or music, then click OK to apply.
2. Then again from the Effects tab, click the Cleanup button and select Noise Reduction, Multi-band noise gating. Select a preset, then click OK to apply.

If the presets aren't giving you the best results, try using lower levels on each type of reduction until you find a combination that leaves you with just the audio that you want to hear.
