I was amazed how easily that removed background noise, even from older cakewalk recorded tracks.

[@TinyThoughtsBigWisdom]

This video suddenly made me smile so wide while holding my forehead 😃 thank you! for uploading this.

[@Vmt16]

Not only did you help me with noise removal, you also lead me to a very nice spectrum analyzer! Many thanks!

[@ericasayshello2507]

I had doubts this would actually work but I actually gasped when I played back my vocals after having utilized the plugin THANK YOU!!!!!!

You are literally A LIFE SAVER thank you and thank goodness I didn’t have to spend 3 hours searching for a good tutorial😁😁

What a massive help! Audacity has this similar noise removal, but I didn't want to have to download and transfer my files to a whole other program just for that so thanks!!

Thank you so much for this video. I'll try to do that. I couldn't find something like that. Well done!

Nice One tutorial

[@MrHhkrohn]

What's your opinion about the denoise that comes with bandlab ? Is this reaperplugin better ? Cause otherwise one could also export the track(s) 🤷‍♂️

[@upstatecinco]

that first track was fire by the way ... drop that track jaaa

[@TromatiseTv]

Bro this is fireeeeeeee my record quality is so much better now thx you boss!

[@KevinWayne]

I tried using ReaFir to clean up drum bleed-through from my headphones. Bad idea - Someone else noticed a high pitched whine of an artifact left behind. These days I prefer a Gate - ReaGate in this case - also in your ReaPlugs collection. I've used it to isolate Kick & Snare on a live drum track, isolate a Vox take from an acoustic guitar, etc.

[@RecordingStudio9]

FIR is only good for constant signal like fan, buzz etc.and will always have some artifacts due to signal phase inversion. I personally would not gate or remove any bleed from a drum set recording. Treat it as one single instrument.

[@KevinWayne]

@@RecordingStudio9 What I was thinking of is sidechaining kick to bass- making sure only kick hits get through. Plus I use free SK10 rom Wavesfactory to beef up the sub kick. The only other trick for sidechaining I can think of would be to duplicate the kick track & set up the 2nd one to sidechain to bass *only* - cut out the send to the parent track or Master bus. THEN use a Gate on your new "Ghost Kick," but leave the one going to the Master as is.

[@RecordingStudio9]

Or use trigger that listenes to Kick and triggers the Bass sidechain. I'm sure you are creative enough to work it out :)

[@px7219]

Thanks nice vid i will be doing this on my recodings this week!...but hey i am wondering if you think this will be good if i have noise that went into my microphone from my headphones?....i was not wearing a sound cancelling headset while recording so i know some headphone noise went into my mic while recording, do you think this well help?

[@RecordingStudio9]

Thanks for watching. Depending on how loud the audio bleed is, I would not worry. Any bleeds between vocals can be edited and deleted for clean vocals.

[@TheSixthChakraDocta]

would you recommend to do this to every track that has background noise ?

[@DickersonAzard]

Teacher😎

[@joeypreme]

mine has popping it didnt happen before but now it does happen

[@helenmadamrose306]

Hey! Thanks for the video! I can't install cockos each time I download the plugins. Doe you know how to solve this?

[@meta-labs-space]

Is this the same as a sound inverter? Curious if the software is simply copying the noise profile, invert it, then one can use that inversion spectrum over the same music.

[@RecordingStudio9]

No, this process simply detects the noise floor level at all frequency range and removes them if the signal falls below the threshold at that frequency.

[@kidmundane8029]

why when im done subtracting i experienced audio issues?

[@RecordingStudio9]

Make sure you have a consistent noise profile to work with. If the noise profile is too high in ReaFIR, then it will affect your actual audio as well.

[@harrisonbeesonvo]

How would one go about using this for a multitrack? Just copy the procedure for each track? I'm working on an audio book, trying to clean it up best as I can.

[@RecordingStudio9]

You could do that if your PC can handle the process, else, you can process and render (record the track with the FX) each track and move the FX chain to the next track.

[@christophermabry]

But what do you do if the only audio you have for producing the profile is the one that contains the noise? I did a piano recording yesterday when all of my in-laws were here and I sure as all heck-fire aint asking those folk back again any time soon.

[@RecordingStudio9]

You can try spectral audio editing, Eg. iZotope's RX.

[@Halfeazy]

Do you make mixing and autotune tutorial using cakewalk?

[@RecordingStudio9]

Yes

[@RemedyPlayz]

my cakewalk is bugged now :(....... I cant put on any fx it mutes the audio

[@richardmeborg4717]

Hi, I have both Reaper and Cakewalk installed. But my reaFir failes to load. Is there any special place the plugins have to be installed in Cakewalk?

[@RecordingStudio9]

Have you installed the free reaper plug-in bundle?

[@vamprea.production]

I tried this tutorial the same way to clean AC noise from bassy vocal sound with ReaFir and end up with artifacts instead, same as this vocal when said "when you". Do you have any idea how to fix it?

[@RecordingStudio9]

Try iZotope RX7

[@dylanj8676]

You could try an expander or noise gate instead. Switch ReaFir's mode to Gate and see if that works for you (drag the slider to the left not right to make it more effective). You can also try some of the free expander plug ins out there but there's a decent one built into Ardour. Reaper also has ReaGate, but I don't like that one very much, like most of Reaper's included plug ins. You could also try Waves Z-Noise or NS-1, or WNS. I'd try to learn expanders and gates though, because it helps to know how the traditional stuff worked before fancy plug ins were everywhere.

[@memethila]

How do I directly get the plugins in Cakewalk instead opening the Reaper's software?

[@RecordingStudio9]

You need to download and install the REAPER plugins separatly as shown in the video.

[@maanumusic]

I installed reaper... but i cant see the plugins in plugin column

[@RecordingStudio9]

Did you install the free REAPER VST plugins, or just REAPER DAW?

[@dendendenice1]

Help it's not in the plug ins even though i have installed it

[@marseruofficial612]

My mic is a blue yeti and i have my pc on the desk and the background noise and my voice is reaaaaaaly loud for some reason so hopefully this works for me

[@RecordingStudio9]

Try to use a mic shock-mount for the Yeti to reduce desk noise.

[@DonCobb]

Downloaded 64 bit Reaper, installed it but Cakewalk by Bandlab only shows me "32-bit" plugs which don't work. I'm trying to remove hiss from a vocal track. How do I get this plugin to work, before I uninstall it and go find another way to get rid of hiss in an audio file? Thanks.

[@RecordingStudio9]

Did you install REAPER DAW or the ReaPlugins?

[@Soumilbharatendu]

How can I generate silence in cakewalk similar to audacity? Great content btw!!

[@RecordingStudio9]

Simply split the audio clip and move one on the timeline to the right, and the gap is your silence for the track.

[@magpie363]

In stalled them but they fail to load

[@magpie363]

Hmm i I downloaded the DAW that might be why it don’t work but the web address you give doesn’t exist anymore

[@Mountain_Storm]

It didnt work for me

[@dr.faisalwadood]

Can we remove noise in the pre processing? I mean the Pro channel mode rather than the Fx? Can you please advise regarding that?

[@RecordingStudio9]

Add FX module in the ProChannel and place it/move it at the top

[@berrykrautboy5368]

Oops...When I tried out it turned the whole vox track into some weird autotune effect...

[@magpie363]

Nm found em lol

[@Prod.KingLilGabeMusic]

I make rap music and I have cakewalk recently and my pc fans are bad loud so I'll see if it wrks bro

[@RecordingStudio9]

Try eliminating the noise by keeping the mic away from PC fan. Better than trying to clean later.

[@RemedyPlayz]

nevermind i fixed it

[@Bryann_official]

How?

[@KevinWayne]

It's called the Shure SM7b microphone. Best noise rejection design ever~!

[@RecordingStudio9]

😁 not everyone can afford it 🎤🎙

[@KevinWayne]

@@RecordingStudio9 True - I had a little extra money at the time I got it. Easily the most affordable "Studio Grade" mic around.

[@bertwesler1181]

Why is it always true that the demonstrator clicks and gets one thing the student clicks the same thing and gets something very different? Quite MADDENING, really. I click the arrows and there is NO COCKOs

[@RecordingStudio9]

Things do change over time. But this should still give you so guidance. Did you install Reaper plugins? Did you restart cakewalk and refresh vst folder?

[@RemedyPlayz]

it just does some autotune thing its weird
