Add Preroll And Postroll To Effects Previews - Adobe AUDITION 3 User Manual

To reduce other types of noise that have a wide frequency range, try the Noise Reduction effect. (See "Noise Reduction
effect (Edit View only)" on page 149.)

Hiss Reduction options
Represents the estimated noise floor that exists for each frequency in the source audio, with frequency along
Graph
the horizontal ruler (x-axis) and amplitude, or noise floor, along the vertical ruler (y-axis). This information helps
to distinguish hiss from desirable audio data.
The actual value used to perform hiss reduction is a combination of the graph and the Noise Floor Adjust slider,
which shifts the estimated noise floor reading up or down for fine tuning.
Displays the waveform's left or right channel.

Get Noise Floor
effectively remove just hiss while leaving regular audio untouched. Get Noise Floor is the most powerful feature of
Hiss Reduction.
To create a graph that most accurately reflects the noise floor, click Get Noise Floor with a section of just hiss
highlighted in a waveform. If you can't identify such a section, select an area that has the least amount of music or
other desired audio, in addition to the least amount of high frequency information. (In spectral view, such an area
won't have any activity in the top 75% of the display.)
After you identify the noise floor, you might need to lower the control points on the left (representing the lower
frequencies) to make the graph as flat as possible. If music was present at any frequency, the control points around
that frequency will be higher than they should be.
Specifies the number of drag points, or control points, on the graph.
Drag Points
Resets the estimated noise floor. Click Hi to set the noise floor at - 50 dB (for very loud hiss),
Reset (Hi, Med, Low)
click Med to set the floor to -70 dB (for average hiss), or click Low to set the floor to -90 dB (for very little hiss).
