Can I Repair This Noisy Ruined Audio in Premiere Pro!?

[@JavierMercedes]

A very over the top example but I think the noise reduction effects in Premiere Pro do a decent job for what the source material was, what do you think?

[@sklba632]

"Over the top" - he says as I laugh in my daily experiences of camera noises, terrible room echo, directors talking over talent, and random noises I can't explain.

[@DylanWithVideos]

my mind is blown. thank you 1000 x's

[@equatorial3127]

Dude you just absolutely saved my day. I bought the Rode Wireless Go II and even though I tested it the evening before the shoot (which is when I bought it) and everything seemed good, on set I noticed a strong interference noise in all of my interviews. Like the sound you get from an incomming message on the smartphone when you have it next to your headphones. So I was super stressed because I couldnt fix that on location (exchanged every wire n mic) and prayed to the lord that "DeNoise" in Premiere would fix it. But it was reeeally bad so I didnt have much hope and in my head already went through how I would best tell my client that I have to reshoot the whole day. But your video saved me. Thank you!

Commenting for the algorithm. I wish I had your videos on all those sleepless nights trying to fix an easy problem with a deadline in the morning. Absolute best tutorials out here. Love your channel.

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@HubLocationSound]

De-hum is designed to remove ground loop hum. This is why it’s defaulted to 50 or 60 cycles (what common power mains operate at). It’s not really useful against broadband noise (like a fan or HVAC vent) which exists across all frequencies. De-Rumble is also designed to remove subby/low freq information. That’s why both of those processes made your dialog sound thin and didn’t do much to remove the fan noise. De-Noise is the proper approach for fan noise, but as we see using it too heavily will make it sound lo-fi and very unnatural. It’s a trade-off. This is why considering not only how beautiful a location LOOKS but also how it sounds (on location scouts) is very important.

[@luizsaha]

Oh Thanks for the comments ... I had to pause the video and start checking the comment section cause i didn't understand wft an effect should be location based

[@fersatando]

HELLO! What would you recomend me to eliminate a big part of the background noise oin a scene of a person talking in a shopping?

[@FFHavoK]

This. I was coming to say this but you got it :)

[@HubLocationSound]

@@fersatando it really depends on what that background noise is comprised of. If it’s occasional noises (like cart clinks or checkout beeps), I’d probably approach using RX Spectral Repair. If it’s more consistent noise (like hvac) an overall process like De-Noise may work to attenuate it.

[@fersatando]

@@HubLocationSound THANK YOU DUDE!!! I’ll try both. Happy new year!

[@michaelmuthivhi7672]

1:36 I wasn't aware that premiere had the loop function as well. Thank you, Javier.

[@PLANETFAZ]

I work on premier pro a lot. I'm not a pro at all by a long shot. I think ever since i started to follow your channel i have learned so much on how to actually be efficient on the software. Your videos aren't unique in the sense that there are other youtube videos explaining the solutions that you provide. BUT your videos are so unique in terms of delivery and how you structure them. Its actually so easy to understand, relate to and learn from. As an up and coming podcaster and content creator I can say you deserve all the subscribers and the cheques you can get from adobe haha! god bless and THANK YOU!

OMFG DUDE! I was recently lamenting such background noise in my own content. Why not become a KZbin expert? Naturally, I sought out your exceptionally helpful PP channel. Again, thanks bro!!!

[@victorperez1102]

Amazing! Thank you so much. It's important to take into account that as editors; sometimes we are not the ones producing or recording and that we are just being handed clips. This is a great tutorial for when handed with less than ideal situations. I know this is going to help when I start editing a noisy clip.

Wow! I just started editing a clip of someone doing stand up comedy outdoors without a microphone to an audience of about 40 people. I want to keep in the speakers voice and the audience laughs but remove the hum and slight wind. Appreciate this video and especially the timing of the release. Always enjoy your content. Thank you.

[@ezequielzion]

very nice! I really like your audio videos

[@guilhermefdcv]

Thanks, Javier! Great job. Can you make a tutorial for cleaning audio in Audition? I suggest you use a recording distant from the source, like a in camera microphone. That’s going to be challenging and very helpful for many purposes

[@RivuSouravBanerjeeVideoEditor]

that dehummer with harmonics thing was so effective and cool .. good technique learnt .. thanks man. I am someone who really plays with these audio features and frequencies as a editor, started as a sound editor now doing video work,

[@johnmcintyre6969]

6:46 lmao yes that's insanely cool. I'm always amazed at how much I don't know about premiere when I watch your videos! Thanks for the info as usual! I'm sure it will help me in the near future when I inevitably destroy some audio. Also, I just finished a video using your split-screen effects pack, going to email it to you when its live so you can see it in use! Definitely helped me out a ton 👍

If you have a series of audio clips that were recorded in the same noisy room or with the same poor quality microphone, what's the best way to fix up one of them and then apply that fix to all the others?

[@livesinrecovery]

Hey hey. Will this tutorial work with loud beach ⛱️ background sounds? I'm working on a clip for the 🎥 of a lady sharing her success with recovery while walking at the beach... really awesome but my cam picked up a lot of 🌊 wave action Luv ur work. Thnx! ✨🕊️🙏🕊️✨

[@professorlanguagepartners3112]

Hands down to you Javier in how you explain the process. Which if any of these options would work best at removing lense focus sound?

[@incrediblezaifi]

Amazing video. Helpful can you make a video on how to parametric Equalizer and compressor. In my audio recording i have lot's of noise i dont know why. I even trun off my fan and all still lots of noise in my microphone maybe bcuz of electrical current leaking. And i have a basic microphone can you make a video how to make audio sound more natural and good to ear.

HOW DID YOU GET THOSE METERS TO POP ON THE SCREEN

[@Tappeh]

at around 2:26 why do they cut different frequencies out depending on where you live?

[@CurseHalo]

AC (Alternating Current) is set at 60 Hz for the US and I imagine the dehummer plugin just looks at removing common hums that result from electronics (as said in its description when you hover over it). The other countries are set at 50 Hz and if you didn't change the setting in premiere, then the dehummer plugin wouldn't work as well.

[@johnhpalmer6098]

@@CurseHalo Slight correction, much of N. America is 60Hz, which includes the US, Canada, and perhaps Mexico at minimum. Everywhere else it's 50Hz,

[@swancoatart]

When I open essential audio and select a clip as dialogue, I dont have dehum as an option... any suggestions? I do have it in my effects but have to drag it onto the timeline. thanks

[@PICKaREALITY]

Man, I have a situation that I just cannot solve. See if you can help me: I am using the Noise Reduction in the Essential Sounds panel to take out some noise in my audio. It works perfectly, but the first seconds of each clip the noise is present and then it fades out. It keeps this way after exporting. But it I use the loop tool (as you did in this video), after the first time it plays, the noise just disappear totally D: this is crazy! I have no clue how to fix it. I would use the DeNoise effect, but my version doest have it and I cant update for now. Thanks for reading all this! And I hope you have any idea

[@elid377]

Hi Javier, Yes all of the techniques you used here are proper, but one mistake you have made which essentially is bad advice especially to novice is that when you selected the clip portion it should of been part with the dialogue as you are not aiming to just dehum or denoise you are looking for clean dialogue. With your example you are running into chances introducing unnecessary artifacts which you did. Selecting the actual dialogue and tweaking the sound as you go is the way to go in this example as the other way you did you'd ah to retract and the only thing your ears are comparing it to is the isolated noise.

[@JavierMercedes]

Ah ok, I like to use a part with no dialogue to isolate the hum and then move it over to the dialogue but agree with your reasoning, with denoise I will do the dialogue and start to bring it back or add the least amount as possible like I did in the 2nd part of the video when listening to the dialogue. Thanks for the advice!

[@elid377]

@@JavierMercedes Absolutely, Also I want to take a min and thank you for what you do, you have made many excellent tutorials on your channel. Thank you!

Very interesting. Audio is definitely something I need to learn more. Any chance you could do a video like this but using Audition? I guess the results should be better, right?

[@JavierMercedes]

You can capture specific noise prints in audition and use this feature where you can draw out parts of audio signals like Photoshop, basically it gives you more tools to fix audio.

[@Goldwyn_imagestudios073]

Gud day to u....am having issues with frequency on my recordings in and event...can it be fixed 😢

[@chrisreynolds6391]

Why do I feel like it would be more realistic if you recorded the voice and the noise at the same time?

[@JavierMercedes]

it would. I just thought it would be nice to to hear the exact signal without any noise as it should be, adding it in after does the same thing as if I did record it to the same track, we just have the added benefit of being able to listen to a clean version for a bench mark.
