What is white noise?
White noise is a fuzzy, unwanted sound that can be heard in the background of your audio recordings. It is usually caused by electronic devices, environmental factors, or poor quality microphones. White noise can be distracting and can have a negative impact on the overall quality of your video production.

Step-by-step guide to eliminate white noise in Sony Vegas 14:

1. Import your audio file: Start by importing your audio file with white noise issues into the Sony Vegas 14 timeline.

   
   



2. Apply Noise Reduction: Go to the 'Audio FX' tab in Sony Vegas 14 and look for the 'Noise Reduction' effect. Drag and drop the effect onto your audio event on the timeline.

   
   



3. Adjust the settings: Once the Noise Reduction effect is applied, a dialog box with various settings will appear. Start with the 'Threshold' and 'Amount' settings under the 'Reduction' section. Increasing 'Threshold' will determine where the effect kicks in and raising the 'Amount' slider will increase the reduction level.

   
   

1. Fine-tune the effect: Listen to the audio and adjust the 'Threshold' and 'Amount' sliders until the white noise is minimized without affecting the desired audio. You may also want to adjust the 'Attack and Release' settings to control how quickly the effect reacts to the noise reduction.

   
   



2. Repeat the process if necessary: If the white noise is still present after adjusting the initial settings, you can try applying the Noise Reduction effect again with different settings to further reduce white noise. It is essential to carefully listen to the audio to avoid over-processing and losing the quality of the desired sound.

   
   



3. Saving: Once you are satisfied with the Noise Reduction effect settings, close the dialog box and save your project.
