Hi Forum
Im aware off the offtrack question but none the less.
I've got a liverecorde soundfile with a poet/voice with heavy windnoise.
Are there in Logic Mastering plugins any plugs to reduce this noise ?
Or alternatively do you have suggestion to how to approach such a problem ?

I found a solution that worked well for me. Just like most people have said eq your low end and automate it up just enough to cut out the wind. Automate just the part of the wind. It might not be perfect but it was a big difference for me! Hope this helps!
ps I just read some other peoples suggestions and I tried it and it worked like a charm!
I would download the free stereo (two-track) editor Audacity and use the included Noise Reduction Tool along with the EQ. If there are parts with very low level voice you might want to use a compressor to bring both the volume of the voice up as well as the wind noise. The reason being noise reduction works best with a strong signal. You will find a clean example of the wind noise, highlight it, select the noise reduction plugin and it will analyze the sample, this analysis can then be applied to the file with user set parameters.
Always work with a copy of the file.
Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with the open source Audacity Project. A couple of years ago I was trying out Audacity for a student and found it to be both simple and powerful. I use a lot of different software, each has it's purpose, I found the Audacity noise reduction to work remarkably well.

On the same page there's quite a few plugins as well.
I have better luck with AUDIO UNITS > APPLE > AU GRAPHIC EQ, and I fade out frequencies here and there. Noise reduction tools I've used always seem to garble the audio too much. Sadly, any noise reduction or EQ tweeking will always change the signal you want to keep too.

That's one of the reason you use a compressor first, the garbled sound usually happens on the quiet passages but it's true, depending on the frequencies you grab in can affect the original signal to a greater or lesser extent.
The Audio Units Apple Tools are made available in Audacity as they are system wide.
