DeNoise does not work with recordings from Zoom H5 Recorder
If I record from my microphone direct to audacity and export the file as a WAV 24 bit file then I can import to Adobe Premiere and use the De-Noise feature and it works great.
If I record audio from my Zoom H5 field recorder in a 48khz 24bit format (and any other format) and drop that audio file into Premiere (after copying to my local folder) the DeNoise feature does nothing. It does not show any background noise at all. It is unable to detect anything or make any changes whatsoever.
This is the file made from Zoom H5:

This is the file made using Zoom H5 recording directly into Audacity and exported as a WAV 24bit file

If you put the 1st file into premiere you cannot use the DeNoise filter. It wont do anything
If you put hte 2nd file into premiere you can add DeNoise and it works great.
Please look into this. I can provide more file examples if needed. Note that it does not matter what format I record with in Zoom. 48khz 24 bit / 16 bit / MP3 / Etc. If a recording is made with Zoom, copied to PC, then added to a project the DeNoise will not work. It detects no background noise.

To the Premiere Pro team:
The audio file that don´t work are a two channel file with the channels out of phase. I inverted one channel in Audition to make the channels in phase and now DeNoiser works.This is not a bug and can be closed, the audio file is are out of phase and thus causing this.

I can reproduce this as well if i add DeNoiser directly to the clip in the timeline. Adding DeNoiser in the Audio Track Mixer works better but has issues as well on the file directly from the Zoom H5 recorder.
I did a test and placed the file made from Zoom H5 on an empty timeline and added just a Color Matte to match the length. I rendered out the timeline to a new CineForm file and imported that file and placed it on a new timeline. If i apply DeNoiser to that clip on the timeline DeNoiser still won´t work.
Re-saving the file to different audio formats don´t change anything, DeNoiser still fails to do anything with the clip.Can it be something in the meta data of the original file that is carried over in the examples abowe that throws off DeNoiser?
One of the most freakiest bug i have seen.
