Sound Interfering

I have just uploaded a scene I've done today and have came to realize an annoying sound interference from my boom mic. You can hear the voices well but the noise is quite loud as well, is there any way in Vegas to take or silence that noise, it would save filming another 5 hours.

What kind of noise is it--do you have the noise reduction software that Sony sells--it might be your only hope--it does okay with air condition hum etc--not sure how it will do with your specific flavor--let me guess--you have the noise of the cable hitting the pole?

My cheap ways: I'm using a steal pole and a little tripod piece ( for easy movement of the mic) to attach the mic on and a bit on it taps when the wind blows - and i didn't have my damn gaffer tape with me! I have fixed it since.

Even if you don't have tape twirl th epole to wind th elead around it.

Yeah, I know, great idea and where was I when you needed me.

You can get the wind noise with Noise Redux, but the tapping is a constant, not an incidental sound, so it will take clever editing to get rid of it. If it taps during a vowel for instance, or a soft consonant, you're screwed. One of those "gotchas" that we've all had and will have again.

I don't shoot that much, and those "gotchas" just killed me on a couple of projects -- so much so that I finally sucked it up and bought a proper boom (Gitzo) and mic suspension system (Rycote). Man, what a difference having proper equipment makes....
