Question

Removing Walmart Kid from my mixed audio track

I promise I am not a troll. I recently recorded a podcast through a mixer and a massive oversight led to the walmart kid repeating in the foreground throughout the entire track. I've removed vocals and sirens from songs and recordings before, but inverting the raw audio of the walmart kid didn't work. I also tried both Noise Reduction and Sound Removal but neither were effective enough for the audio to be usable. I'm starting to worry that the audio track is not salvageable. Can anyone offer any advice for removing this perpetual yodel from the audio track? To give an idea of how bad it is I've attached a sample of what I'm working with. Thank you!!

Haha! (sorry, I shouldn't laugh...) But no, not a chance, I'm afraid. That's louder than everything else on the track, pretty much, and in the same band as the wanted material, so there's no way of eliminating it using Audition. You might, at a pinch, if it separates out using their extremely clever algorithm, be able to get rid of most of it at least with Melodyne - although even that's a long shot and it's not cheap...
