Yup, there are a lot of video editing tutorials you can watch but with audio editing, there are few of them. And he explained it well.

Mike thanks for all your videos, your videos have been so much help in what equipment to purchase and how to do some of the settings that I wasn't able to figure out. Thank you! I'm looking maybe changing my Radio Station Automation .. do you have any preference and I like to use it with my RodeCasterPro 2 thanks!

Thanks Mike. Great to watch and listen. Appreciate the video. My HP filter is acting weird... It increases the db of a bunch of frequencies. Ever heard of an Audition glitch like that? Don't think I'm doing anything wrong...

@MikeRussell 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! It sounds like you might be unintentionally boosting frequencies with the HP filter, so double-check your settings and make sure it's set to cut off frequencies rather than boost them.

I use parametric EQs to do cut outs and classic emulations of famous EQs like Neve or Pultec to enhance frequencies. UAD versions work like a charm but they are on the expensive side. For me, Dynamic EQs work better for de-ess. Thanks for the video.

I use spectral view to drop sibilants. Its shows up super hot and I highlight just that tiny spot and drop 10 db. It’s sounds great and doesn’t affect the word noticeably at all. It’s not super efficient depending on how long the recording is.

@MikeRussell 5 ай бұрын

That's a great technique for taming sibilance in your audio recordings. However may not be great for long recordings. You can also set a multi band compressor to do this.

Great vid thanks. Do you have a video on removing mouth sounds? A manual way to do what the plugin called spiff, does Cheers

@MikeRussell Ай бұрын

Thank you for the feedback! Something like iZotope RX will do this well.

@darrenelkins5923 Ай бұрын

@@MikeRussell Thanks for the reply! Ah yes, im aware of RX and Spiff. As far as I understand they are also parametric EQs? Im trying to avoid the expense at this stage and configure a manual PEQ. i found you video on using an eraser to remove noises, but hope to find less laborious method that also avoids the expense of RX or Spiff - until such time as I can afford one of those. Cheers

@maricelp116 5 ай бұрын

Mike, is there a proper workflow for editing? I mean, like compression first then eq, or noise reduction first then de-reverb. Something like that. Or does it depend on the raw audio output? Does this make sense? I'm not sure how to structure the question.

@MikeRussell 5 ай бұрын

Absolutely, it's great to think about workflows! Generally, it's a good idea to start with editing tasks like noise reduction and de-reverbing, then move on to EQ and compression finally. Although some may argue the order of the last two.

@treetoon_ Ай бұрын

When I use compression and equalizer it appears that it has a slightly different effect if I lower the gain. Any way around this issue? Only thing I can think of is to render the audio into audition at 0db, then lower the audio gain.

@MikeRussell Ай бұрын

Lowering the gain before applying compression and equalization can affect the way the audio processes, but instead of rendering at 0dB, try experimenting with adjusting the EQ and compression settings for a better outcome while retaining control over the audio level.

"mix" sounds exactly the same to me with or without 😢

@MikeRussell Ай бұрын

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing that - it could be that the EQ adjustments you're making aren't quite hitting the mark for the sound you want. Have you tried experimenting with different EQ settings and frequencies to see if you can achieve a more noticeable difference in your mix?

Anyone know how to setup multiple usb microphone in one computer?

@MikeRussell 5 ай бұрын

To set up multiple USB microphones on one computer you will need a USB hub with individual inputs for each microphone to ensure proper recognition and functionality.

This video is quite good, with lacking level control (very slow > 3s leveler, not AGC) and sibilance being the most common annoyance I hear. If you want to grow your audio engineering knowledge, this video can be an invaluable first step. Strive to gain insights by looking at the entire chain, analog input (mic) to analog out (spkr/hp). Reading up on broadcast processing is a good fast track. My most common noise challenges outside an acoustically controlled environment are, 50 or 60Hz (by country) from motors/transformers, 100-120 Hz (by country) from basic power supplies (e.g. wall warts/lighting). and HF noise from switching supplies (many products), all of which are precisely at those frequencies, use the EQ as a "notch" filter. Then moving air (low pass filter) Tips: Over compressing audio will fatigue the ear, limiting can give loudness, punch, and overload control, but at the cost of distortion. Clipping can give up to 2-5 db of loudness, but if overdone, severe distortion. It's a balance. Some limiters/clippers have "look ahead" processing feature that auto adjusts to minimize distortion.

"Is there a way for us to send our voices so that you can utilize real voices for your tutorial? I find the voices you currently use to be perfect and believe they require minimal alteration." 🤔

@MikeRussell 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for the feedback! At the moment, I mainly use pre-recorded voice over samples for consistency but I appreciate your suggestion for incorporating real voices in future tutorials.
