Applying Noise print in SF 9

[Ron Cooper]

After capturing a noise print from a background and saving it as a preset, how do you then apply this noise reduction to the whole of the file ? I find this most confusing & the online help is useless at explaining exactly how to actually apply it.

From an '07 post I made in the SCS SF forum.

Highlight a short segment of ONLY the noise one would like to attenuate, i.e.; HVAC, tape hiss, VTR motor noise, etc. For example, between words, phrases or sentences. (or during room-tone, if it was recorded)
- Open NR-2.0
- Select the "Noise Print" tab; AND tick the "Noise Print" check box.
- Engage "Preview", the print should appear after a second-or-so, capturing the noise print;
- Adj. the NR parameters under the "General" tab menu as desired.
- Right-click the blank gray area below the "Bypass & Real-time" boxes. to access a sub-menu.
- Left click "Select all Data" from the menu and execute via "OK".

Thanks Rick, I have been trying to work this out for ages, no trouble getting the print on a quiet area, but applying it was the problem. You explained it very concisely in seconds. Why can't software suppliers explain things this easily without all the baffling waffle ?

However, it is a great program.

Thanks again.
