Audio Cleaning

I have a video that was shot in the rain and the audio picked up the raindrops hitting the mike. It sounds a lot like the cracking and popping from an old vinyl LP.

Does anyone know if VF or some other software that is available can "clean" this out? or at least make it less prevalent?

The SB Audigy can be used as a poor man's noise filter. You need to re-record the audio through the Audigy and then re-sync it in your project. A big hassle with poor results. Also the Audigy drivers are not yet stable.

I've put in a product suggestion to add a simple noise filter to the next version of VF. I suggest you do the same.

Cool Edit will clean noise very well. You sample a part of the audio that has the noise you want to filter. It will then filter this sound out, to some degree. You can adjust how much it filters. It is not a free program but is worth the money for this type of thing.

The SF Noise Reduction 2.0 plug-in does "noise cleaning" very well. This plug-in does not work in VF, but it does work in Vegas, ACID, Forge, and any other app that hosts DirectX audio plug-ins.

Yes, that's the one! Can you include a mini version of that filter in the next rev of VF? Please???
