I have one bit of noise on an otherwise perfect audio track. What is the best way in Reason (I'm on v13) to remove it? I have a noise removal plugin, but no way to sample a portion since this is the only moment it happened. I'm not sure how it got introduced, as it was recording directly from my looper pedal (I wasn't playing anything live at this point). Here's a screen shot of my magnified track:

One way to remove noise in Reason is using the SSL channel compressor and it's gate. This is removing quiet sounds down and keeping the louder parts there. You determine how radical the effect is by turning the ratio/treshold. While this is not a dedicated noise remover it works well for certain tasks.

Unfortunately it's a very loud sound--but I'll give it a try!

It doesn't matter how loud your sound is, but you determine with the ratio/treshold that at what decibel below it romeoves the sounds (Gate).
There's a rack version of SSL channel compressor that I'd use. As you have the latest Reason it's under the 'Effects' where all the other effects are too.
I have used that myself several times, it does rather good job on that.

Thank you, I'll let you know how it goes.
