'Noise Profile' type Noise Reduction in Sound Forge Audio Studio?

Munenushi wrote on 3/11/2018, 5:26 PM

I've been a fan of Sound Forge for a while; but I haven't used one feature for a while now, and that is: Noise Profiling for Noise Reduction.

 

What I mean is, where you take a sampling of some 'back ground noise' in a clip (such as a motor hum or fan noise) and then utilize that as a 'Noise Profile' to apply to the rest of the entire clip, resulting in that 'noise' being 'removed' (not entirely of course, and some fidelity is lost, but it works for the most part).

 

I haven't tried it in a while (in any audio application) and was looking around in my Sound Forge Audio Studio 10 - and didn't see anything like that so far - so I was wondering:

Is there such a type of noise reduction function in Sound Forge Audio Studio?

Do I have to 'upgrade' to Sound Forge Pro for this type of function?

 

Thank you for any input!

Not sure about pre Magix versions of AS, but only SF Pro has the noise reduction suite (NR-2.0) included. AS-12 does come with some NR reduction features though.

Hi,

Just looking at AS-12 and the Noise Profile is called Noise-sample, and it is with the DeNoiser. It looks somewhat similar to that of Music Editor 2, ACL and AML and the Denoiser in the cleaning part of Movie Edit Pro and VPX.

I didn't try it.

Thanks a lot for the info you two - but I am a little lost on the terms and abbreviations....sorry, heh

 

Do you mean AS as in Audio Studio 12?

And SFpro is Sound Forge Pro?

 

That Noise Profiler sounds promisingly close to the feature I am looking for...

Does that mean it possibly is in Sound Forge Audio Studio version 12?

"Do you mean AS as in Audio Studio 12? And SF pro is Sound Forge Pro?" - Yes to both.

Not sure about the NR (noise reduction) in AS-12. Try out the demo.

The NR-2 suite used to be available for purchase separately, I'm not sure if it still is after the Magix acquisition.
