Can someone help to analyse and reduce noise in this video please

Hi

I'm trying to get the best and most consistent sound out of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47CVB4dATSo with Adobe Audition

I've already watched the tutorial videos and read several help articles about noise removal or audio restoration.  but due to the overwhelming amount of tools, my lack of experience and no knowledge of the specific terminology I don't know how to get there.

Would you mind taking a listen to the video to tell me step by step what I need to do specifically?

Thank you so much for your help!

What are you trying to do to the audio in that video? IMHO I don't think that there is much, if anything, can be done to improve it due to the way it was recorded. How was the audio on the video recorded? It sounds as if it might have just been the mic on the camera together with some sort auto level control.

Hi

Thank you for your quick answer.

I didn't record the video I just liked it and wanted to save it to listen to it.

I'd like to remove the crowd noise and other background noise and get as close as possible to a sort of live album-track sound.

Is there a option to remaster the sound and if so, how to do this

As far as I can tell there's a lot of echo,crowd noise and maybe some uneven volume levels but then again I'm new to this.

Thank you for your help!

There is absolutely nothing you can do with the audio on that at all to 'improve' it - whatsoever.

Unfortunately, the real world isn't like what they display in CSI - that sort of magic doesn't exist.

You can't fix that audio because everything in it is supposed to be there - so if you remove any part of it, you'll also be removing something that you want. All the levels of everything are far too close to each other, and you can't isolate any of the noise separately, so there's no chance of getting a profile, and if you did the results wouldn't be worth it because there's no way for it to distinguish noise from signal.

Okay thank you for your help!

In know way do i doubt your and other professional's expertise, but how do producers manage to filter out the noise for a live album?

IMHO I can't imagine the person in charge of the whole live album-process not having to edit the sound given he/she has recorded the original material in the same circumstances (meaning crowd noise and other variables)

That's simple - they don't record the concert on a mobile phone!

That's all you've got there - one fan's recording. Of course it's going to be crap!

If you're the promoter or the company providing a proper video, then you have access to all sorts of clean audio feeds, so the whole process is a lot simpler when it comes to noise.

As far as your quote about living in the reality goes: I had a haemorrhage when I was born which has lead to a severe physical disability and  I've undergone more than 10 surgery's since I was a child. I'm not looking for anyone's sympathy but I think I know a thing or two about what real-life looks like.

Just to clear up any confusion - I do offer my sympathy over your situation, but I should make it clear that I think that it was CSI that wasn't living in the real world, not you. Their 'problem' was that they appeared to make a lot of situations regarding audio processing appear absolutely plausible when in reality they were nothing of the sort. I realise that for most viewers that this might be a technicality, but for the desperate ones grasping at straws, it wasn't; they seem to think that any software that can't perform outright miracles is in some way deficient - when it absolutely isn't.

There is some remarkable software out there that appears to perform all sorts of amazing feats, but nothing anywhere can produce what you want, and it won't ever be able to. It's like all distortion reduction - you can't do it, simply because you have no 'correct' original reference, so how can you ever tell what 'correct' is? That alone prevents any sort of 'fix'.

But anyway, in no way is this your fault - it's all CSI's.
