Noise Reduction?

[SpeedKing9]

How is this done, what plugins are good for this (Cakewalk 9).

Personally, I get my best results outside of Sonar 2.1. I use Cool Edit Pro to open the wave file and use its filters on the noise.

...Yeah, you've stolen my recept. That's right. Cool Edit Pro has the best noise reduction implemented ever. You can choose the noise type (humm, hiss, ground noise, 60Hz, etc...) and get rid of them there. Works also in Cake 9. Export from Tools menu... bring 'em back after CEP.

waves restoration plug-ins are great for noise reduction.

I may be doing something a bit "dangerous", but I've had no problems editing the wave files directly without exporting/importing.

I'm using Sonar 2.1, with the "per project" audio file storage, and I'm able to close Sonar, open Cool Edit Pro, open the audio file folder for the particular project, open the file for the track I want to work on, fix whatever it needs, save the file back in the same place, then close Cool Edit Pro and reopen Sonar. I've only done it a couple of times, but it has worked quite well for me. If I had a track with holes or edits in it, I'd probably bounce it to another track first -- but that seems to be quite a lot faster to do than the audio export function.

Anyone see problems in doing it this way? Am I asking for trouble?

Thanks,

it'll be a problem if u feel the job u need to in CEP was sub par cuz u won't be able to go back to the original wave...but the way u erase that problem is just backing up the wave u are about to process

waves restore bundle is prolly the best plug-in noise reduc

sonic foundry noise reduc is good too
