editing out certain noises

[bird1982]

Hi, I am a grad student trying to reduce noise in bird calls, since many of them have a lot of background noise. I am using the noise reduction features where I select a sample of the noise, then I select the whole audio sample, and it reduces somewhat the background noise. However, there is still a bit of noise after I do this, and it seems to compromise the actual bird call, making it sound "swishy" and not like it normally should. My question is if there is any other way to filter out noise through a sample on Wavepad. Also, I am using the trial version of wavepad to test it out, but is the Master's edition of Wavepad any better at filtering out noise?

Thanks for your time!

Use the FFT to find out the frequency range of the bird calls.

Then try using the Equalizer effect and eliminate all other frequencies.

how do you mean "eliminate"???? every time i use the equalizer it just changes the bass and treble???

isnt that what an equalizer is for?!!! how do you 'eliminate all other frequencies'

am i just not seeing/using it right?
