wind noise

Wind noise is awful. You can try to use a high-pass filter (bass cut around 50Hz),
which will work if the wind noise is not too loud, but there may be moments
where the wind completely clips the sound, and you can't get anything else.
It's analogous to blowing out your whites in video.

If you are able to filter out the noise successfully, you can then raise the
overall level so the voice level is good.

And now you have been burnt by the _wind noise nasty_, having a wind sock on the camera's mic and earphones to monitor during recording probably makes a lot of sense. 🙂

I've found that you need to drop frequencies all the way up to 100 hz to get rid of most wind noise. I use Audio Filters -> Apple -> AU Graphic EQ and drag sliders below 100 hz. down a lot. Of course, in some cases you're removing useful information too (like when you're speaking with Mr. Basso Profundo), but in others voices start to pop from the background a little more clearly. So it's all about tradeoffs and experimentation with the sliders.

Wind noise is a real problem to deal with in post-production. Your best chances of reducing it are with Sound Soap unless you have Final Cut Studio and SoundTrack Pro. There is almost no amount of fiddling with graphic eq & noise gates that will effectively deal with wind noise without also mudding up the audio you want to keep.

Next time take care during your shoot to put wind socks etc. on your mics.

Hi

SoundSoap is the best way to go to my knowledge but I learned that many of the
Pro recordings for news etc. with eg. road and traffic noise are very Clean when
broadcasted. I asked how this was done.

Dubbing !

This is used frequently in broadcasted material and might save Your material too
but the amount of work to get this done is high for an amateur like ME !

I saved material by Subtitling parts where the sound is to bad and it gives a better
listening - probably psychological.
