Removing Wind from Backround? Please HELP! -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Removing Wind from Backround? Please HELP! Posted by: i c e Date:3/3/2009 11:34:49 AM Hello everyone, This is my first post here, I am usually over on the Vegas Pro forum but I am having a major problem with one of my projects. I filmed a video of my self talking to the camera at about 2-3 meters away. I am an idiot and didn't have the external mic I bought at the right setting (I have a Sony CX-12 Camera and had the little mic on 'Gun' instead of Zoom) so there is a lot of wind and back round noise like construction, people talking, etc... I was in front of the Venetion here in Las Vegas and can't refilm without being arrested. (hehehehe) I have Sony Sound Forge Studio 9 that came in a platinum pro pack that I bought, I also have the Cinescore that came with it. Are there any effects or techniques I can use to help this problem?!??! I know I won't be able to eliminate the noise entirely but can I reduce it in any way? I have been going through the effects and can't find anything that helps. I really, really apreciate any help or suggestions! Thank you very much, Josh Message last edited on3/3/2009 11:37:29 AM byi c e .
