Has anyone successful experience using AD for reducing wind noise from mic recordings?
'Wind' occupies a broad spectrum of frequencies and what I have tried using the Noise Reduction tool has also cut too much of eg the speech you want to keep.

I know the best solution is to avoid wind noise in the first place by fitting some kind of 'cat fur' but ... CYa Ron (W10/i5gen8/Nvidia)

Hello Ron,

I've had reasonable success removing wind & surf noise from video using AudioDirector.

It's important to make the adjustments (range & sensitivity) carefully so as little as possible of other audio in the clip is not removed or diminished.

Are you basically following these steps?

Hei Pix and takk for your quick reply.

Yes, I have tried a mix of what you are saying but I guess that I need a lot more practice. Apparently, wind noise generated across the mic is quite difficult to fix, being a complex sound and covering a wide range of frequencies ... though reducing in level as one goes up the frequency spectrum. It would be useful if one could select a range of frequencies to moderate but maybe this will offered in the future as an additional feature. I have another software installed that is much more complex that may assist if I can work out how to use it!.

Will spend more time 'practicing' and also have a chat with our cat
