to do them in Audition. Thanks.....

I use it, but what you can do depends largely on which version you
have. They have been adding froth and deleting features.

OK, that's a bit of a shame. It's a post-inflation version. But who
can say? What are you trying to do?

Thanks in advance. Ok here goes. Please note the file I need to edit:
a one hour, one time only, recording of a live radio broadcast, so I am
unable to rerecord anything. Here is what I need to do:



1) The background hiss varies throughout the file since the radio
carrier wave became stronger and also faded at times. At some point, I
am going to be able to replace certain very noisy sections with sections
with quieter background, but I'd like to first apply noise reduction to
the entire one hour file. Brief testing seems to show that adaptive
noise reduction is my best choice. I am using the "light" setting and I
am keeping a very slight amount of noise remaining in the quieter
backgrounds. I welcome your suggestions he is the adaptive one best
for the task?



2) There is a five second beat that occurs within every minute
throughout the entire file (every 50 seconds). I would like to replace
part of this beat from a "good" section by copying it, and then pasting
it over the existing beats throughout the entire song. This will mean
multiple duplicating 60 times and pasting over the same existing
sections with the quieter beat. I would also need an auto crossfade
applied at both sides of the clip for each of the sixty clips. How
would I go about this?



3) Finally, there is a beat every second that occurs throughout the
entire song. In between the beats, there is one second of background
silence/ noise. I have been thinking of applying gain reduction with
crossfade to each of the background second sections, but this would mean
another setting up of an action on one section, and then applying that
every other second over the entire hour. That's a lot of gain
reduction! Chances are, I will probably just stick with the adaptive
reduction as indicated above, but I'm wondering if what I want to do
here is possible as well?



Thanks in advance for any help. There is so much about Audition that I
find it tough to narrow down specifics especially regarding what I am
seeking.

I'm currently working with the Audition trial and have 5 days left as
Audacity, which I normally use, just isn't up to the task and also
freezes/ crashes frequently. I know you or some of the others probably
tackle the above on a regular basis, but I don't.

Fixing stuff like this is not really my area, but read what Mike has
written. That looks like a pretty sensible approach. Just don't
imagine you are going to get this totally clean.
