Oh my goodness Josh, you've just saved my life.!! First-time author, first attempt at DIY'ing my audiobook. Hours and hours of youtube research has me au fait now with ACX checks, etc, but I was completely stumped when I got that annoying reading "Noise floor too low". I've almost been in Technology-Tears at times!!! 😭😱 So, finding this was a godsend!! AND AND AND! the other effect was that doing it this way, nearly all of my lipsmacking mouth sounds disappeared! SO much easer to edit now. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your hard-won expertise so freely!

Very helpful. Thanks for explaining and demonstrating what each setting does.

pla pla pla to much

Eureka, indeed! This was the fix I needed. Thank you kindly. By the way, I can't get enough of your voice. It's amazing!

Great video. I also don't understand the constant normalizing on other videos. 🤷‍♂️ But you need less bragging and put downs, it makes you sound arrogant

Sorry but this is a fake tutorial - you didnt import video into audacity

great video - this tied so much research together about recording on my XLR mic into perfect place. Thanks for your efforts here!

im still here in 2024 voiceover

The Broest of bros!

How do i get the iconic Tommy Edwards voice introducing the Chicago Bulls in the Static like voice on Audacity?

Thank You So Much For The Knowledge<3

You talk too much, hard for us beginner to understand

Miss you. You are truly a master. Thank you for all you have done for us. The most straight forward content out there

I see you haven't uploaded to this channel in a couple of years, but if you ever come back I'd love an update to this tutorial for Audacity's new compressor. It seems like it works completely differently with the same(?) settings (seems to make the loud parts quieter rather than the quiet parts louder), and now that "ratio" is no longer in the "2:1" style of format it feels a lot harder to understand all the settings and apply your video to it. Luckily the current version I have (3.7.0) still has "legacy compressor" which matches your video, but if they ever removed it (a possibility since it's now a "legacy" effect) it'd be rough to get the same results from your demonstration lol.

Miss you! Your an amazing coach!

3:10 Filter Curve, Treble Boost 5 DB 6:25 Filter Curve, Base Boost 5 DB 7:50 Filter Curve, Male EQ 10:25 Normalize (-3db)

Thank you so much!

You really know your stuff bro, nice work

I’m so lucky that I found your channel , thank you for you information 🫶

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Hey Josh...I miss you my boy...where you at?

WHERE IS THIS GUY?!

Good video. But unfortunately you forgot an import parameter, Level reduction. For people reading this, it determines the amount of attenuation after the threshold is reached. So setting very high, results in total silence. Setting it a lower. It does not slam shut, but still lets some sound through. -20dB is a good value but I recommend playing with it to keep it sounding natural.

Can I get your EQ filters to import for audacity?

Yes. This. This is what I needed to hear today! Thank you!

Excellent tutorial! I used to work with Sound Forge years ago doing radio news and this is similar. I was kind of lost on Audacity before I watched. It's going to be cool to get into voiceover again. Thanks!

Too much preamble, and too little detail, such as monitoring and setting the record level. I had to quit and look for a more concise tutorial.

u never mentioned where to get the plugins...

Genuine guy

Sorry brother I wanted to watch further but so much comparing yourself with others is not necessary.

Just want to say for anyone later than me, you can get to the older Limiter and Compressor by going to Effect > Legacy and then choosing it from the menu.

Thank you bro. can u teach how to remove audiance clap sounds from a audio track or live recorded song?

Thanks for the great show and tell. I'm SO new to recording though I'm still having trouble. It seems that when I turn the gain knob past half way on my scarlet 2i4 it gets real trashy sounding. If I turn up the incoming mic volume to max on audacity it gives a similar high end clipping that you are talking about. If I make everything so that it comes in nice and clean it is SUPER quite and I have to modify the decibels after the recording. Maybe that is just the way it is, but since I'm so new my first thought is "this shouldn't be like this, I shouldn't have to manually alter this every recording, what do I need to set my standards to to achieve my end results after a simple effect > amplify option?

Making guided hypnosis rtacks. Turns out the at2020 captures *everything* really well. Now not only writing a hypnosis script, but also learning to edit the whistles and breaths etc away comes into play, lol. Thank you for sharing. Good explanation and easy to understand. Plus, very practical to play around and find the setting required.

been on this assignment for over a fucking HOUR trying to figure out what went wrong with my recording. THANK YOU SO MUCH🙏

Too much fluff

you can just set up audacity so you can drag the video in and audacity well convert it for you

for some reason it don't sound that much different to me....idk how it feels that way

Where is the one for women? I need that one. This was so helpful

Бля, мужик, ты просто моё спасение😊 здоровья тебе и подпищиков по больше. Благодаря тебя у меня теперь меньше головной боли с аудио файлами. Спасибо😊

Hi. I have an audio clip with people talking over the music. The music was recording on a cell phone in a room of people. How do I remove the people talking from the music?

but I can hear your fans in the background and you never fix it

Thank you!! Great info!

Didn’t teach me anything

Heya, fellow Josh here. I am a male and have a slightly higher voice than you do. For the Male EQ setting, what would you recommend changing to fit someone with a slightly higher voice. If it helps, I am considered a Tenor II in regards to my vocal range.

This is the clearest explanation I have ever seen. Thank you SO MUCH. You have saved me so much time!

good info, less down talking those that "do it wrong" just show how to do it correctly. you sound way too arrogate in your approach

Exactly what I needed! Thank you!

I am a retired teacher of English, etc. You are veryyyyyy good at teaching in manner easy to follow!!

Awesome
