Soundtrack Pro-Question
I shot a short film a couple of months and we used TASCAM HD-P2 recorder. After I imported the files to my computer I found one of the critical dialogues in between there is a sound of a car passing by. I am wondering if in SoundtrackPro there is a tool I can minimize/avoid the car noise passing by. I tried the EQ, Denoiser, Reduce Noise, etc.. none of these worked. Is there any other suggestions. Please if you can walk me through it with the steps. I guess for next time maybe I should use a mixer with the TASCAM HD-P2.
Thanks in advance |
Is ADR not an option for this particular scene? It's the only way to guarantee clean dialogue at this stage.

Obviously too late now, but was no one monitoring the sound at the time?
iZotope RX could probably deal with it http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/rx/ but it could be cheaper to do ADR or a pick-up. How about dialogue editing? Have you got alternate takes you could lift clean dialogue from? |
Thanks everyone.
I think I will get the actors to record their lines. It is not a big deal. What advice do you recommend on the set in terms of Audio? The thing is I do the directing and cinematography. Maybe I should get a set of headphones to listen to the recorder. |

On larger sets, typically the Director, 1st AD, producer, script supervisor and sometimes many others are given a comtex receiver and headset. The sound mixer provides them sound using a comtex transmitter (the audio comes from the mixer's sound equipment). On smaller sets, usually comtex equipment is not available, so having somebody focus on audio only is critical, so you don't run into these types of things. Wayne |
Thanks Wayne for the feedback.
Unfortunately, I had a sound person on the set but he did not do a good job. He told me the sound that he captured was excellent. I guess I was stupid to trust him. I should have checked. Anyways, I learnt my lesson. Thank God it was not a feature film. But for my next film I have to be careful. |

Is the car noise ongoing under the dialog or is it between two lines? |
