I have a great vocal take that I want to use, but it contains some plosives and misc. wind noise that I just can't get rid of. Originally, it had a _lot_ of wind noise, but I cleaned 90% of that up with EQ; unfortunately, some of the wind noise stubbornly remains.

I have several different noise redux plug-ins, including SF's. I've tried setting after setting, tweaked for hours, to no avail. I tried going back to the original recording and trying noise redux before I removed the wind noise, but still no.

Anyone know how to remove this noise? I'll try anything.

Normally I don't use EQ for plosives. I just find the spike of the waveform, zoom in all the way, find the nearest 0 axis point, select the section and either cut out the spike or use the Volume option in the Special menu and cut it way down so it's no longer a spike.

Good luck,
Terry

It will probably be a hard task to do so. In my opinion you should probably redo the whole vocal take.
By the way, there's a great article on recording vocals in this months issue of Electronic Musician, also there's a great review of Vegas Audio. Check it out!
