I want to have playback for them to dance to but dont want the playback picked up by the mic used for the dialog, this will just be a condenser on a boom, or maybe just the cam mic. I will drop the final sound track in later.</p> <p>Any helpful tips?</p> <p>Thanks</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/audio-noise-filters-for-adobe-premiere-65#post-45886 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 07:50:28 +0000 chuckengels 45886@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><em>QUOTE : Wind noise SUCKS!

The wind noise is very loud.  In addition to lowering the audio and adding music, is there a preferred audio tool to filter out some of the noise...while retaining dialog?  Any assistance provided will be greatly appreciated!</p>
