Audio not repairing as it did in trial

Hey I just purchased Audition after having good success with repairing audio. But since purchasing the ease of operation just doesnt seem to be doing the same thing. I select a sound I want gone as the noise print, select the noise reduction process, drag over the entiore clip and it seems to do noithing after applying. The only thing is seems to be removig is the lowest frequency even though the high noise level I want to go is the most obvious one. I admit I'm a total novice and finding my way through this process very daunting when te trial seemed so easy. Any suggestions?

There are a lot of different options available with NR, and getting to know from experience whihc ones to use, and what settings are appropriate can take a while, as not all noise can be treated the same way. If it's an actual sound you want to remove, then the Sound Remover may be a better bet - Noise reduction is pretty much what it says it is, and only really works on continuous noise. If you search around the forum using the term 'noise reduction' you'll come across several threads outlining ways to go about doing it more effectively - this generally involves making several passes and taking a bit less off at each one, and also varying the FFT sizes from one extreme to the other. A typical thread to look at might be this one: Noise reduction not working with noise capture but there are plenty more.

Thanks SteveG. I got there in the end. I discovered I could erase the specific noises once I identified them in the waveform and this made a huge difference. Going over the clip with several sweeps as you suggested was a great help too. 
As I'm really new to this and haven't studied sound engineering, any help is great.

Is there as way in Audition to seperate dialogue from all others. It seems vocals can be seperated from music. But can something similar be down in audio clips. 
Thanks for you input. It was a great help.
