Removing Audio portion of clip

I recently lent my father borrow my video recorder for an event they were attending....unfortunately, he has forgotten that his own voice is rather loud, and he has made some, shall we say, not too pleasant comments regarding the people he was videoing....I would like to keep the general audio but remove his comments.

Is there any way of copying a portion of sound to overlay his voice, rather than muting the entire audio altogether by creating a clip where his voice is and muting it?

Cheers

If the noise he is speaking over is ambient, I would try this:

Split the clip before and after each unpleasant comment and mute it as you
mentioned.
Split another area where he is silent and there is ambient sound, copy then
paste it and then drag it down to the audio track below where the muted part
is.

Should do OK, unless maybe there was music in the background, then it would
be pretty obvious.

Good luck.

I would agree with that, otherwise you'll need some very expensive software
to remove just the voice, very prohibitive in price.

Thanks guys....a nice little work around.

I wonder if MS will build in to the next version, a tool for editing audio in more detail?

Cheers
