This tutorial was the absolute best one I have found for getting that one specific sound out of a video. I had a cricket in a recording I could not get rid of and this 100% solved the problem. Thank you so much for making this video David!

I got more out of your 10 minutes than I did in 2 hours of other vids. Sure wish I would have found yours first...good news is I DID find it! Well done sir and many thanks.

People like you do a great job for humanity. You are educating us and that is invaluable

Your commentary is HILARIOUS 😂 "a 30 decibel Humm... congratulations!" 😂

Thank you David for making me laugh :)))) Please make more videos like that on! short, funny, useful.

You saved my life, Mr. Taylor. I, too, have a 30 dB DC hum thanks to my old as dirt computer and I neeeeeeeeeeded to know this.

Man, 4 years later and still helped me!!!

Again, David, you are my HERO for transcription!

Your video is so good. I like the way you speak and explain in a calm way.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH BROO, YOU WAS HELP ME TO FIX NOISE IN MY AUDACITY. LOVE YOUUU..🙂

Thank you David 🙏

Bob Ross of Audio !!! Excellent guide - thank you --

Excellent video, really helped. Noise reduction is great feature. Would in my music production days use a gate but so much better.

very useful, thank you!

Really helpful, thank you!

Good job and very nice video

I really appreciate this comprehensive workshop video... no other as clear and thorough out there. Just curious, my voice waves are much like what are in this sample (though I've never had much hum/room noise). I'm recording with a Rode NT1 kit (with preamp) and speaking with about the distance of a hang loose hand sign from my mic. Is there something I can do differently on the front end of recording to improve the recording?

Thank you so much, that was really helpful

Much appreciated.

David, thank you very much for your content. Im starting my own podcast using a lot of what I have learned from your videos. One thing that I am struggling with, is when exporting the audio to Mp3. The audio doesn't seem to have the same quality and bass. Recording on 16bits - 44100hz, equalizing on "bass boost" and normalizing at -2.5 and still very robotic and kind of tremble voice. Any suggestion? Thanks mate

Your video is very very helpful. Thann you.

FANTASTIC Video. Thank you for posting. Especially your talk about Noise Reduction. I never knew how to adjust the settings. Do i understand correctly...? _Normalize_ sort of highlights the hum for easier capturing in Noise Reduction? THANK YOU AGAIN! This video helped me so much!!

very good bro.. thanks.

Thanks! You really are a great help. I'm learning so much. Do you have any other videos on audacity? At this time I am using a cheap headphones with mike. I am planning to get a Blue Yeti in about a week from now. But would like to practice recording with what I have now but I was not able to get it to work. Is it possible? Appreciate any help on this. :)

Really enjoy the channel - thanks for all the info! I have a PC and the latest version of Audacity however when I want to EQ - there is only Graphic EQ available, not "Equalization" so no function as per your video. Do you have any advice here? Can only look at only the fader buttons without the actual Curve. Thanks!

This has been Very Helpful thank You! Do you have a Video on how to set up the Gain for the microphone to a Mixer?

I just got audacity and yours is the best training I have seen. Do you think you could do an updated version.

Your a class Pearson with this

Thank you.

nice one !

Bob Ross of Audacity

Nice bro help a lot..this tutorial👍👍👍

Hello, David. Thanks for the informative video. In EQ I usually do bass boost and treble boost and it seems to work pretty well. The question I have is, how do you go about setting up an EQ curve?

"That is a lip smack" lol great video though

Thanks for sharing my dear friend

This guy sounds like the hippy from Amazing World Of Gumball! Excellent tutorial sir thank you

Do you always normalize first and do you ever normalize again after EQ and compression?

It's like if you record off your mobile phone so good

I love audacity

David Asante sana

Hi just wondering to ask ,if I don't have mixer & no interface can I direct to my computer? Second if I use dinamic mic iz it will have a problem? Sory just asking if u don't mind to share

hello!thansks for the tutorial,really big help.wanna ask if possible to adjust the voice volume for the other persons that i record.where on the meeting but i cant hear loud coz other person whose near on me is over lapping the whole voice memos.hope to hear you soon.

Excellent tutorial! What if the background sound is a hiss close to the frequency of the human voice? is there a was to narrow the band of the noise reduction so the voice isn't affected/reduced? Thank you!

thank you

Mr. Taylor, I got problem with voice turn out not clear evenly i reduce amplify it not reach red line. I use scarlett 2i2 and AKG 214C Mic. Can you tell some tip here? Thank you so much!

dear sir, i have been using audacity for the last 7-8 years. i have recently updated it to version 3.1.2. i have been using karaoke tracks available in you tube and other channels and record instrumental songs played in my key board and upload to my channel in you tube. i have been playing the instrumental tune in the same pitch of the karaoke track. But for the last 2-3 days, audacity is recording my instrumental track up by 2 pitches than the actual pitch in which i play the tone. i am not able to understand why it is doing it. My audacity project rate (Hz) is 44100 and i changed it to 44800 but in vein.... please help me how to enable audacity to record in the pitch which i play my key board and not in different pitch.....

Holy cow! This is undoubtedly one of the best Audacity tutorials *ever*. I just couldn't figure out that stupid hum and only you brought it up. I was doing Noise Reduction multiple times,but I found it affects my voice a bit. Makes it slightly metallic. Can you help? Any ideas?

I have been playing audacity for a bit now. Nice and easy to work with. Im trying to figure out to remove the white noise from a psb7 recording. Btw your voice reminds me of ezra levant. 👍

nice

David, thanks a lot for the helpful info. I think my question is very basic. Starting around 7:00, you say the audio is too bassy and let's remove some base. Then you move the sliders up. I thought moving sliders up would increase the bass; that's what seems to happen when I try it. What am I misunderstanding?

can this also remove sounds from outside your window like cars passing by? or would there be a different approach to that if its possible

hello i just ordered a corsair hs 50 head set with mic and i heard a couple reviers say it has a somewhat tinny sound or has noise compression going on. is there any simple,free tools to help fix that?

The bob ross of audio cleanup

I don't have Equalization option though :(

Hello. I am sending an audition recording to someone. They wanted it recorded in the following format: Message Format: 8 Bit, 8Khz, Mono u-law wav file format. How do I achieve this? Any help would be much appreciated. I have also left this message in your in-box. Thank you.

you said Equalisation is making the harsh sounds less harsh and the soft sounds louder. But isn't that compression, which is "the process of lessening the dynamic range between the loudest and quietest parts of an audio signal. This is done by boosting the quieter signals and attenuating the louder signals" . I don't understand the difference. thanks

I did Noise reduction + compressor +equalization + normalize, will that make my recording better? Becausr i can still hear a bit sound of the background..

Does anybody know what happened to that one white boy audacity rapper?? I forgot his name.... can't seem to find his videos anymore!??

The version of Audacity that we are using does not have EQ. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi David- Would you please do a video on how to get rid of an echo. My client recorded herself with air pods, so lots of echo. Thank you!

Great tutorial, I was just looking for this, I am a new creator on youtube and after reviewing more than 10 videos, I find your's to be most detailed and just what I need for my videos as I still find it difficult to find balance between my voice and the background noise, especially when I am recording outside where there is many unwanted noise. Would you mind checking my videos and give me some tips to help me make my audio sound better? Greatly appreciate your video tutorial. Keep up the great work and look forward to learning more from you. I have subscribed.

i need help lol nothing new though lol. im not able to get the equaliser to enable is this due to using an external one for my mic

Is there a reason when I listen to your video I hear a loud hum?. When I pause your video, it quits. I checked other audio files and didn't hear it. So I was wondering.

wooah audacity is overwhelming.. Can I compress first, then noise removal after? or is it alsways better to remove noise and then compress.

2020 and this version has no Equalizer! just a visual eq and thats beyond me as a beginner. Great vid though, still stands!

Also this video for vocal editing

@7:15 to much your base rolls to -30 (minus) which is fine for speech but can never be to much if you go negative

Dare! Dare!

David, I submitted a book reading voice over through ACX, and they rejected it a couple of times. I don't hear it dough. I believe if my laptop fan. I fixed it they said that is too quiet. So, I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

Probably a basic question, but why not just reduce it by 48 decibels instead of incrementing it down?

can u help me, for some reason my audacity does not have equalizer
