Audio attached to native video clips - how do you mute it?

[Lake Nokomis]

This is probably easy, but I'm not finding the answer after searching for help. I am digitizing home movies, and I want to cut out the projector noise. Short of duct tape over my camera microphone, is there any way to cut this audio out during editing? I would still like to add music to my production, so I don't want to silence the whole thing.

There is a program (produced by a company called BIAS) called 'Sound Soap' that should do what you want. I have heard that it will clean up wind noise picked up during a recording

 

A lite version is bundled with EMC 9 DeLuxe, but it can be obtained from

Thanks for the tip, but all I want to do is to mute the audio native to my video. The "help" on Creator 9 says that I can do this, but I can't find out how.

After you bring the captured clip into VideoWave, just mute the native audio. This should get rid of the "projector noise". Then the "music" you add to the project should still play ok.

Double click the native audio. Then clik the speaker icon. One of the choices is Mute.

Thanks.

 

For the benefit of others with this problem, I found that I needed to be in the "timeline" mode. Then I had to click on "show/hide tracks" before I could mute the native audio.
