Using Noise Reduction In Mixcraft
Click on the audio clip that you would like to remove the noise from. Click on the Sound Details tab on the bottom.
Click on the Noise Reduction control and select a value up to 100%.
Once you have selected an amount, Mixcraft will attempt to automatically find a good noise sample. Mixcraft shows
the noise section by two controls called Noise Start and Noise End.
The above image shows an example of a good noise sample. The noise is determined by the audio section between
the Noise Start and Noise End controls. You can edit the noise sample by clicking and dragging the Noise Start or
Noise End controls. If you want the software to automatically locate the next best noise print, click Next Noise>>.
This instructs Mixcraft to look for the next best noise sample based on what it thinks could be noise. Only you know
what noise is, though, so you may need to adjust it manually.
Finding A Noise Sample
The best candidate for noise reduction is a sound that has a snippet of the noise by itself. For example, if you had an
air conditioner in the background and you started recording, you should have one second of the air conditioner by
itself. Then choose the section of audio that is just air conditioner for your noise sample. If you don't have a good
sample of the noise, you could try and re-record the noise by itself and then Merge the clips together.
Adjusting The Sound's Volume
In addition to setting the track volume, you can also set the volume of individual sounds.
To edit the volume of a sound, go to the toolbar and make sure that Volume is selected.
When Volume is selected, each sound clip shows its own volume envelope. In the sound below, the volume envelope
corresponds to the two green points and the line connecting them.
This shows a clip with two envelope points, each at 100% volume.
Change the Volume Envelope
Click on the line to create a new volume point. The cursor will change to an Envelope Point Edit cursor.
