That probably depends on whether the noise you want to eliminate is a hum or hiss. If it's a hum, you might be able to isolate a certain frequency range, but I don't guarantee it. If it's hiss, you'll need someone smarter than me, which is just about anyone.

I am starting a project of archiving some old reel to reel tapes using Sonar 7. Is there any way to take a snap-shot of the noise at the beginning of the tape to eliminate it from the music?
