Here's an example of us recording with a vacuum on so that you can see this tested out. Here's how to apply studio sound to only part of a file in the script. Now, to selectively apply studio sound like this, normally you might think if I just create a section right here and have it split, I can do studio sound on this side, but then turn studio sound off over here. But as you can see, if I go back, it applies to the whole file. So to fix that, first remove the studio sound. Then highlight and copy the part of the file that you want to apply studio sound to. Then at the top where you have your project file, click the drop down and hit new composition. Then simply paste your file. Go back to the top where this dropown is and next to your new composition, hit the three dots and select flatten composition all layers. Once it's done, click on this file and add studio sound. This created a brand new file and applied studio sound to it. Now you can simply highlight and copy the section again. Click the dropown. Go back to your original recording. Paste over what you originally had.
