Yes, this belongs in the audio forum but every time they see a topic like this they all fall on the floor laughing and I think the video forum needs a good laugh once in a while.
Except this isn't so funny because within a very narrow set of parameters I've got it to work.
Here's the deal. Clients material was originally mastered for audio cassette and they want it on CD with track breaks. Problem is each segment ends with music which at time fades under the opener for the track. Bugger!
Now I do have a clean copy of the music but trying the invert and subtract trick just doesn't cut it, this stuff started out life in analogue land and the levels have been changed etc, etc.
What saved the day is it's only a solo instrument and it's only under the first word at the next track start. Sometimes I can find a clean copy of the word and patch that in but other time no luck. However using SF and NR2 I can get a noise sample of the offending note or two and use that to filter the offending note(s) from the word!
Like I said at the start this only works under very narrow conditions, if it'd been a full orchestra in the background I'd be impossible, too much damage to what you want to keep.
Again this shows the power of some of these tools, don't let what they're called limit your use of them, even with video I've found many uses for the tools that from their names wouldn't have been immediately obvious.
