Nero Wave Editor's Noise Reduction Tool--how to use?

[thefiddler]

I've used Nero for years, but have never really used the Wave Editor. I'm trying it out now, but can't figure out one of the main tools I want to use: the Noise Reduction Tool.

On other audio software I've used (CoolEdit/Audition & others), you just select a part of the track that contains only the noise you want to remove from the entire (or part) of the file. Then you go to the noise reduction tool, tell it to use the selected portion as a profile for noise reduction. Then close the filter, select the entire file (or just the part you want to noise reduce) and go back into the noise reduction filter. This time you actually apply the filter, using the profile created before, and it removes the noise.

So am I missing something or does Nero Wave Editor not do this??? If so, how? If not, how can I get comparable results?

Thanks in advance for any help.

The aren't a whole lot of options for noise reduction, it's pretty basic. But this is what I do when I use it. Open the audio file in Wave Editor then left click and drag the mouse over the part you want the noise reduction. With the selelction highlighted click enhancement on the toolbar then select noise reduction. A small window will pop up with the options available for noise reduction. When I save it I select "save as" so I don't replace the original audio file.

Uh, I just downloaded the Nero update ('Reloaded' I think they're calling it). Now there's a "Noise Analysis" option under Enhancement. And in the manual it says you use this with the Noise Removal filter as I described above in other audio editing programs. However, I can't seem to figure it out. Anyone know? Or can explain it to me better?

Basically I just want to take a noise profile of a just the noise, then apply that profile for removal to the whole rest of the file. I don't have access to Audition right now or I'd just use it, since I know how.

Nevermind, I think I got it worked out now. Thanks for the attempt at help though matj.
