How do you remove all breathing sounds from a .wav -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:How do you remove all breathing sounds from a .wav Posted by: Felander Date:10/27/2014 5:33:46 PM I know this is likely a rookie question but I have to ask it anyway. I have recorded 2 hours of an audiobook and need to remove my breathing sounds. I would like to do this in one fell swoop. Is there a way to do that? Up until today I had been using Audacity and there is a Noise Removal feature you can use to select a sound of audio you want removed and then apply those changes to however much of your file you want to. This worked great for removing all or most of my breathing sounds from the file. Is there a way to do this with Audio Studio 10?

I'm currently not aware of any others. http://www.waves.com/plugins/debreath#removing-vocal-breaths-with-debreath Other than that I do it manually with the 'Graphic Fade' volume plug. Tedious however on long form spoken word material.. select-apply, select-repeat. ect., ect. Message last edited on10/29/2014 9:42:53 AM byrraud.

I think I will record in Audacity and make the unilateral noise removal there and then export to wave. Do all the minute editing in Audio Studio. Again, thanks for your help on this.

To lose breaths, I often use the Fade In and Fade Out feature on SF. Enlarge your Waveform and play around with both Fade features. You'll get the hang of it. I can almost always eliminate a breath this way.
