Wind Noise cancellation

Could you recommend anything to deal with wind noise that doing decent job and not very expensive?

Preferable Vegas plugin. Separate program is also OK. Plugin to other NLE is not an option as it would be quite expensive.

Thanks.

I've been playing with the Sound Forge Audio Cleaning Lab trial (from Magix) and found it to be really easy to use and it's quite affordable. You can do the same (and way more) with Audacity (free open source software) but I find it to be more work and you may want to watch/read some tutorials. Having said that though, I have managed pretty good results with it.

1. Use always a kind of windjammer on your cam, bought or selfmade:

2. What is wrong with Vegas own Sony noise reduction?

Sony Noise Reduction is a nice plug-in but it is not part of Vegas Pro. It is/was available as a separate plug-in or it installs via Sound Forge Pro.

O.T

Maybe, but than I don't know how I got it, cannot remember I bought it, maybe I got it in the past from the (Sony)Vegas team, but I see it stated as Vegas own in all installed programs on my laptop from 12-16

I tried Sound Forge Audio Cleaning Lab, however got only tiny improvements (it is possible that I just do not know how to use it properly).

> Try iZotope RX, it has de-wind.

De-Wind included in Advanced which is a bit out of my budget ($1200)

j-v: Thanks. Used to DIY for my previous camcorder. Do not have it on the current one as trying to using mic shield. Unfortunately, it is not always with me so sometimes I have footage with wind noise that I want to reduce.

And I do not have the Sony Noise Reduction plugin in my VP13/15.

I have Vegas pro 14 and used audio event fx Track EQ :

And have nice results with it.

Depending on the severity...a low-cost plug-in can attenuate plosives and wind noise. If it's severe, the waveform file itself could be distorted. If that is the case, iZotopes RX advanced may have good enough results. If not.. ADR or a word replacement. This can usually be done effectively if there is another 'clean' take.

It is best to address wind issues so they do not happen.. at the microphone. A good Zeppelin with a Wind Jammer can be costly.

@jokke Yes, I already using something like this ATM. Wondered if there is proper anti-wind solution available.
