Adding Ambient Noise
When editing an audio file, you may want to remove some sounds from the file while
preserving the room tone or other ambient background noise in the file. Soundtrack Pro
features commands you can use to set a selection as an ambient noise print and add the
noise print to existing audio or replace the audio with the noise print.
Set Ambient Noise Print
The Set Ambient Noise Print command lets you copy part of an audio file containing only
ambient noise that you want to add to another part of the file (or another file).
To set part of an audio file as an ambient noise print
1 In the waveform display, select the part of the audio file containing only ambient noise.
2 Choose Process > Set Ambient Noise Print.
The ambient noise is stored in a special buffer separate from the Clipboard and is saved
to the project.
If you have copied audio to the Clipboard, you can set the contents of the Clipboard as
an ambient noise print.
