Reduice noise by putting in a track

Hi, let me explain

I record some videos with my headset and my mic sounds, both on separated tracks. On track 1 is my computer sound and on track 2 is my microphone sound. But my headset isn't well isolated so we can hear its sound in my microphone. For example, when some of my friends talk, I can hear them on the microphone track 2 aswell, lower but we can still hear it.

So I wanted to know if it is possible to indicate to Audition that I want to use the track 1 to take out the "noise" in the track 2, like those noise reduction headset recording the audio outside and sending it reverted into your ears so you don't hear.

Thanks!

It is unlikely that you will be able to do that directly by cancelling one out with the other since that path of the audio into your PC and then on into Audition won't produce accurately sample matched audio.

However there are a couple of techniques that can be used to reduce the breakthrough if it is only noticeable when you are not talking.

a) Use an Expander effect to reduce the level of your track whilst you are not speaking. There are a couple available under Amplitude and Compressor/Dynamics or Dynamics Processor.

b) Use Sidechain Ducking which uses the speech on one track to reduce the level on another. It can be quite complicated to set up but there is a preset mode available in the Essential Sound panel. You may have to make the friend's track a Dialogue track and your voice track a Music track for this to work.

In all cases though you will have to adjust the settings to match your particular recording. As with all similar recording problems, however, it is really best to stop the problem at source is always the best remedy.
