Removing excess wind in Adobe Audition 2.0

[Budgieboots]

Does anybody know how/or where tutorials are that can teach me how to remove excess wind in my recorded audio in adobe audition?

Like if there is a command that works well etc.

Im using a shotgun microphone.

Thanks.

Not a sound expert but I believe you have to use some of the equalizer settings to try and eliminate that frequency. From my experiance with trying to eliminate a background sound though, my audio tends to have a tinny sound to it afterwards.

yes if you eq solely to get rid of wind frequencies you will loose the timbre of the dialogue. Some low cut can work to disguise a bit but then, as mentioned, the dialogue starts to sound tinny.

There are people here who will just say record it again or ADR is the best bet.. but i think if you were able to do that then you wouldn't be asking this question, so If its really important to use this recording you might be able to slot in some atmos into the bits where the wind is. you won't though be able to do this, obviously, when there is speech at the same time.

so if you can try taking the bit just before a wind hit, and pasting it over the wind hit, and do this for all the bits with wind and no dialogue, and see if it can sound anywhere near natural, cos the loop might be really obvious. if it is, then try taking another bit from nearby, of the same atmos type.



Audition is quite good for just cutting bits out and pasting bits in, it seems to repair the transient very well as it goes, so there aren't any clicks between the patchwork. and there is also the 'repair transient' function.

If you have a go at this, and can see that is'it's never gong to work, even if you handed it over to a pro, then re-record or ADR is the only way.
