Hey, Rhett, Depends on what the background noise *is. Is if low frequency traffic or high frequency fluorescent lights, bar noise, music?
If low frequency, you can use a high pass filter, if fluroescents, use a notch filter, etc. I use the free mac/PC Audacity, which has a nice array of filters. You just have to play around with the frequency thing until you find / learn which one best helps your particular track. Suggest you take a small snippet (as opposed to the whole track) to play with, then, once you've found the proper filter, only then apply it to the track. Saves CPU and rendering time. If you don't know how to get your audio out of your video editing into another program, let me know what you're using and we'll hook you up. The best solution remains to get good sound in the first place, which means choosing your location with thought and keeping the microphone close to the subject.
