Step 1: Import Your Audio File for Editing in Adobe Audition
File, then Open…
To start the process, launch Adobe Audition and import the audio file containing the bothersome bird noise. Easily follow along by navigating to "File" > "Open" and selecting the desired file from the browser.
Step 2: Identify and Isolate the Bird Noise Sections
Carefully listen to the audio file and identify the specific sections where the bird noise is most prominent. Jot down the time markers or create mental cues for these sections, as they will be the primary focus during the editing process.
Step 3: Capture the Noise Print
Select a small portion for the noise print
Select a small portion of the audio file that exclusively contains the bird noise. This selection will serve as the "noise print" that Adobe Audition will analyze to identify and eliminate similar noise throughout the recording.
Step 4: Analyze and Capture the Noise Print
With the noise print selected, proceed to the Effects menu and choose "Noise Reduction/Restoration" > "Capture Noise Print." Adobe Audition will meticulously analyze the selected portion and store the noise profile for further processing.
Step 5: Apply the Noise Reduction Effect
Select the entire audio file or the specific sections where you want to apply the noise reduction effect. Navigate to the Effects menu once again, this time selecting "Noise Reduction/Restoration" > "Noise Reduction (Process)." A dialog box will appear, providing various noise reduction settings.
Step 6: Adjust and Fine-Tune the Noise Reduction Settings
Within the Noise Reduction dialog box, fine-tune the settings to strike the ideal balance between reducing the bird noise and preserving audio quality. Experiment with parameters like Noise Reduction, Reduction Strength, and others until you achieve optimal results. Utilize the preview option to evaluate changes before applying them.
Step 7: Apply the Noise Reduction Effect
Once satisfied with the settings, click "Apply" to implement the noise reduction effect to the selected audio. Adobe Audition will process the audio, minimizing the bird noise based on the captured noise profile.
Step 8: Review, Refine, and Repeat
After applying the noise reduction effect, carefully review the edited audio file and make any necessary adjustments. If the bird noise remains noticeable in specific sections, return to Steps 3-7 and repeat the process to further enhance those areas.
Step 9: Save Your Edited Audio and Share with Confidence
Once you are content with the results, save your edited audio file in your preferred format and quality. Adobe Audition offers various export options, allowing you to choose the format that best suits your needs. With your newly enhanced audio, share your work confidently, knowing that the distracting bird noise has been effectively eliminated.
