Lets talk about noise removal

Everything has already been said, the best solution is always to record the most clean audio at first.
I'd like to add that Audacity, even being a free tool, gives some nice results. I'm not a pro, but for the hobbyist use, it's nice.
 
anyone here have experience with Cedar boxes?? I have yet to use one or hear its results. Then there's Nova..
 
180 degrees actually can work, but only on low frequencies. I've used it in production sometimes with two lavs open, one on the talent, one nearby. Bring up the one nearby 180 out and depending on where the sound source is and the frequencies involved, you can cancel out some of the low frequencies.

Not my favorite way to work and it's uses are very limited. Certainly not a good bet for fixing a problem in post.

iZotope, Sonnox and Digi DNR can help, but only so much. They can be used more aggressively on frequencies not occupied by whatever it is you want to keep.

Hey, even Soundtrack Pro has some useful NR stuff.

But geting it right in production is the right way.
