3 Pro Tips to Remove Vocal Noise - Should you use a Gate?
#vocalmixing #mixingvocals #mixdownonline
One thing that separates professional vocals from amateur vocals is skillful editing of noise and extraneous sounds.
I often get asked if using a Gate is the best way to handle these issues.
In this video, I’ll discuss when you should use a gate, as well as a few other options to get a sparkling clean vocal sound in your track! I also share a very cool Cubase feature that you don't want to miss.
How do you address noise in your vocal recordings?

I usually silence the audio between the vocals and not use a gate. Works great and I don't have to mess with a gate. But an expander works good.

Great tips Chris. I do a lot of voice over work sometimes & have to remove or tame breaths sounds. The Shift X & Detect Silence feature is sure going to help next time. Thanks for all you do, I really look forward to your videos & have learned a lot from watching them.

Shift X !!! I didn't know that was an option!! Again you save me time! Great tips for smooth transitions! Can apply them to any acoustic instrument. Thanks again Chris! BTW, finally finished removing all my verb and delay plug ins from the individual tracks, copying the tracks and adding the plug ins to the second track at 100% wet then remixing all 10 songs!! What a difference!!! Can't thank you enough for all this! It's my first go at it and it's already way better than we thought it was gonna be! I'm so looking forward to sending you a copy!!! Cheers my friend! 🤘

Thank you!!! I've been using Izotope RX Noise 3, and it kinda works but not getting the full effects I want. Sometimes I end up using it with my Logic Pro Noise Gate but then I think I'm taking too much out of the performance at that point... Ciao!

Perfect timing as always Chris. Just getting ready to mix some new training songs and I just started working on vocals. I'm really looking at your mixdown coaching community. For a newbie like myself working alone from home, this could answer allot of questions for me. Your annual price looks great IMO. Keep up the great work my friend.

Hey Chris i need your help.if you know some effect or presets vst for dubbing vocal ,like robot like fantastic movies or somthing more ambient atmosperic effetcs for dubbing ,please tell me the universal or some of plugins

@macronencer 2 жыл бұрын

I used that very plugin when I was doing Foley for a film once, and it was driving me mad because the recording I'd made wasn't loud enough and the background hiss was breaking through. Important to make sure you track correctly before trying any sort of remedial expander or gate, because sometimes audio is pretty much unsalvageable. I wish I'd thought about pre-roll and post-roll back then, though - I never tried them (or perhaps they were not an option at that time) and maybe they would have helped.

J'adore toute tes videos Chris! Merci pour prendre le temps de les faire! Pour le shortcut I saw your link on the description et meme quand je vais dans KEY COMMANDS je me demandais comment creer un command qui fait automatiquement faire -18 par exemple pour les respirations? I found the decrease one but it goes 1db per click. C'est possible de faire un click qui faut automatiquement descendre de -18? Merci a lot!

@mixdownonline 2 жыл бұрын

Oui, la commande "Audio - Decrement Event Volume" équivaut à une réduction de volume de 1db. De mon coté, j'ai cette comande 6x donc un réduction de 6db. Ajoute cette commande 18x et voilà! :-)

Super ! Merci beaucoup. (Thank you very much). Et merci aussi pour votre diction en anglais qui rend l'accès à vos propos possible pour une oreille française si peu familière avec la langue de Shakespeare.
