The noise removal feature in Camtasia 9 is nowhere near as effective as Camtasia 8. In fact, it makes many of my clips sounds worse! Does anyone know if we can record an audio clip in Camtasia 8, use 8's noise removal feature, and then import that clip into 9 without loosing the noise removal?
Any advice is appreciated!

From Camtasia Studio 8 you should be able to click File > Produce Special and export the audio as a WAV. Then you could import the WAV you exported from Camtasia Studio 8 into Camtasia 9.

Thanks for the advice, Rick. I just tried it and (knock on wood!) it worked perfectly! I'm still disappointed that we have to use a work-around after paying for the Camtasia 9 upgrade, however! Thanks again!
LOL, sometimes the definition of an upgrade is: Replace old bugs with new ones! ;)
I used it the first time the other day.
You have to play with the settings, do not let it do everything for you.
It will make you sound like a barrel talker.
In my case, for an example.
Gain = 100%
Sensitivity = 0
Amount = 20
This is what I use, and it seems to do a pretty good job.
If you do not have a lot of background interference, then these settings should be good for you.
Although, you will have to edit them as well.
Just tested it with a little hum from my computers, and it did a darn good job.
It got rid of the hum, compared to the other tracks.
So, right now, there is one segment without a hum, and the rest with a hum. :)
Good Luck

I couldn't find a way to change the default settings but if you add the Noise Removal and then edit the properties you will find the sensitivity and amount settings that are mentioned above.

Hi erinaubry1,
I was having issues with Camtasia 9 noise removal, too, until I updated my Camtasia 9 to Camtasia 9.0.3. Do you have the most recent update?
Here's the comparison for the same clip I added noise removal to:
Without noise removal - https://veritas.box.com/s/y053d4qnk7txqmqrj24v07a7whfi0rk6
Noise removal added in Camtasia 9 - https://veritas.box.com/s/mwygu09abjpbv8b9j31jso9ie97t0s1f
Noise removal added in Camtasia 9.0.3 - https://veritas.box.com/s/8a8nrkjyvi9i6klv995yhlvpd6jg8c1b
The noise removal in Camtasia 9.0 was terrible... it actually ADDS noise that sounds like record scratches and crackling.
Thank goodness the update to 9.0.3 fixes this, it sounds much better--on par with the noise removal from the last version of Camtasia 8.
Noise removal added in Camtasia 8.6 - https://veritas.box.com/s/sppv8nmvafgv1s7m8ufkl8ntk2itdxub
Hope this helps streamline your workflow!

just a heads up ... NR in 9.0.3. still not working correctly for me; does OK if only 2 trec capture in project; if multiple captures, the audio quality [like in a barrel] goes south on 2nd and subsequent clips, even though NR applied to all
my workaround is to export all audio, do NR in Audacity; bring new audio WAV file back in; silence original audio and swap in new Audacity WAV file

Hmm, that doesn't sound good. The clip I was applying noise removal to was actually an MP4 from a video camcorder, rather than a trec recording. I did have a trec recording on track 2, but the audio on that track was muted so it didn't come into play with the noise removal tool. Good to know, thanks kayakman.

I have the same issues with the NR in Camtasia Studio 9 as kayakman (Bob) and others have experienced. Being that it is not a true audio editing software software I prefer to use 3rd Party Software like Audacity which is free and Adobe Audition CC which is a paid for software for all of my audio editing for any videos and not just SnagIt or Camtasia Videos as I get the results I am looking for after completing my audio editing and importing that back into Camtasia as a .WAV file.
The only exception on this is if I am just doing a quick record to show or explain something that is not needing pro audio. This is just my opinions and the way I do things. It would be nice if some audio editing improvements could be made in the TechSmith software but time will tell and for now I am comfortable with the ways I have been doing my audio for many years and after getting used to it the more you do it the easier it makes it in the long run.
Just sharing my input and thanks for sharing to all of you for your input. Have a great day/night.
Cheers ~ Fred.

My problem is that I am doing exactly this - cleaning up the audio in Audition - but when I import the WAV file back into Camtasia there is heavy "SSS" and popping that I don't hear in the file through Audition or any other player. Any recommendation for that?
When exporting from Audition. Try these settings,

I think the point here is that we shouldn't HAVE to do a "work around". We paid for this product that advertises that it offers "enhanced audio features", if they are going to deprecate a MAJOR feature, they should do so before we choose to stick with their product. This is like buying a new car, only to find out the A/C doesn't work, and some of you are suggesting I roll down the windows...or buy a bag of ice and sit on it. ;-)
That's definitely the point. Noise removal is one of the most important features for my work, so having to do any sort of workaround after paying for the upgrade feels like a major kick in the shorts. Plus, none of the workarounds I have tried have worked as well as the noise removal in the old Camtasia 8.
