Reducing Wind Noise

[GeoTechRyan]

Hi people of YTTalk,

The camera i use for recording is a Cannon IXUS 170 and wanted to know if their is anything i can do to reduce wind noise as in my recent video the wind is so noisy on it you can not really hear me. The wind on that day as well was not that strong.

Any help would be grateful or any tips that i can do

Regards,

Edit the audio and cut off the low end in the EQ then boost the frequencies where your voice sits around. Should help reduce the effects but won't get rid of it unfortunately!

Also for the future, look into making your own deadcat, there are some really cool DIY ideas on the internet for point and shoots.

Yeah, Audacity would work, I use reaper personally

What program do you use to separate the audio from the video?

Thanks for the suggestions. I have looked at audacity but the wind noise is still their. Think i am going to look in my local hobby shops and see if i can make something.

I'm a bit late to the game, but look up how to use the noise reduction feature on audacity. That might help if you're still having this problem

If you don't wanna ruin your quality, get an external mic and a deadcat, there not that much honestly and pretty helpful. I'm saying this, not having one currently. But that's only because I'm splurging on my lighting and camera equipment before my audio, since I don't go outside much. Lmfao.
