Once noise reduction was loaded, which took some time, the instruction was to apply it “if you can isolate a part with only that noise”. And, in these circumstances, the algorithmic tools struggle, with the fine-tuning needed not so easy to find. However, as anyone who has ever performed location sound recording knows, it’s just as likely to be a single noise that just drowns out a few words or a sentence. The AI functionality is pretty great for dealing with ambient noise - for example, removing the rushing wind from an exterior recording. However, a few more of these with more information about the various adjustments would help newcomers even more. If you’re new to sound editing, or just new to AudioDirector, you’ll find floating information windows to instruct you to ‘select an area’. Tricky editing jobs still require human learning.More floating tooltips could help those new to sound editing or new to AudioDirector (Image credit: CyberLink)
