To create a noise profile with Waves X-Noise Software Audio Processor, follow these steps:
1. **Creating a Noise Profile:**
- Select an audio section from the source recording (at least 100 ms) containing just the noise you want to remove.
- Click the Learn button in the Noise Profile area below the X-Noise Analyzer. The button will blink and display Learning.
- Play this noise-only section through X-Noise. Click the Learn button again to stop the learning process and create the noise profile, which appears as a white line on the X-Noise Analyzer. This line represents the frequency content of the analyzed noise.
- Save your X-Noise setup, which includes your noise profile.
2. **Noise Reduction:**
- Cancel the selection of the noise-only segment to operate on the whole sound file.
- While playing the recording, adjust the Threshold and Reduction controls to the desired amount of noise reduction. Threshold sets the level at which the noise profile is used to distinguish between the sound source and the noise. Reduction control sets the amount of noise reduction applied.
- Monitor the Difference signal to determine whether your settings removed parts of the audio signal in addition to the noise. The goal is to maximize noise reduction while capturing and degrading as little of the audio as possible.
3. **Monitoring:**
- Use the Output Monitor to switch between monitoring the normal Audio output and the Difference signal removed by X-Noise's current settings. Listen carefully to achieve a balance between noise reduction and signal preservation.
By following these steps, you can effectively create a noise profile and reduce noise using Waves X-Noise Software Audio Processor. For more detailed instructions and information on additional controls and displays, refer to the user guide provided.
