The footage has been shot. I used a Sony HDR-SR12 for the footage. We were shooting outside in what was almost a wind tunnel it seemed.

I have only just started into FCPx with no other experience. The only other production software I have is Garage Band. We do not have the funds for any other software, but I do have a deadline with this episode. Reshooting is not an option. We have taken steps to help for the next episode with getting a wind screen for the mic.

What are some steps I can take to reduce/remove the wind noise within FCPx? If I have to open the audio track in GarageBand to equalize it out, I can, but again, would need to know a few pointers on how to separate the audio for GB and then edit the noise down.

Anything at this point would be helpful.

Based on my limited experience....
You shouldn't have to separate the audio for processing in another program unless you're trying to do some extremely fine (narrow band) filtering. I don't have FCPx but I'm sure there's an equalizer built into it. Even iMovie has that feature.
I would search the apps Help menu to find out how to access audio adjustments. Keep in mind, of course, that any equalization that you do that reduces the wind noise will affect everything else in that frequency band. You may not like the result.

I also have a wind noise problem with a project in iMovie 11 and just bought SoundSoap SE. However, they instruct to Detach Audio from project, which I have done, and then go to media file "Voice 01", BUT I cannot find that file. Could anyone please help me find it? Thanks.
