Let's say when I was singing someone dropped a hammer and it make a loud background noise. My vocal is constant, so is there a way to remove that hammer sound? Is there a way for me to remove everything except for my vocal? I never saw a tutorial like that before.

@NathanLee0921 - There are a few tricks you can use to pull the hammer sound down. Completely out? Very hard to do if the sound lasted a long time. As for removing everything but the vocal? You're also treading in very difficult waters. It would be exceptionally difficult to do depending on the individual recording.

@chakoh1 - You're welcome. I hope you find it helpful some day..

Do you think this is a necessary step if you're playing music behind a bunch of speaking clips?

@mattalmond1 - If you have a nice bed for the track and the noise to signal ratio in your VO isn't REALLY dramatic - then you might be able to get away with it. The bed is going to be what really determines that kind of issue. This was mostly geared for delivering a raw track.

@racetin1432 You would have to export the audio track from the video into SoundForge or import it into SoundForge from the video - do your editing and then re-render. You wouldn't be able to edit the video audio without first splitting the two..

Thanks going to try this, so far I found the noise reduction in Adobe audition to be much better than the one in sony sound forge but havent tried this technique.

OK tried it, good in a way but if you have noise within the speaking part that is audible that stays.
