Using DINR to Remove Room Ambience?

[innermusic]

I have a spoken voice track, recorded in an awful room with nasty reverb and ambience. Plug in ideas anyone? Can I use DINR? Recommended settings? The room sound is unbearable!

Did the operator know what he was doing (rhetorical question)?

If you own a license for it, sure.

I don't think it shipped with presets. It's from the mid '90s.

Well if DINR cannot make it better, look elsewhere. Also, try reducing the noise in multiple passes. I find this works better in general, but DINR has a tendency to create artifacts sooner than more modern noise-reduction plug-ins.

waves x-noise... easy.. well, tedious but it can be done
sample some room tone using learn function... listen back to
difference as you hike up the threshold & reduction...

as suggested... may take multiple passes to sound natural..

sometimes i get an ambient track which has the original cue tracks
playing in the background, they didnt use headphones, argghhh..

waves x-noise does a wonderful job of it..
