Fix BAD AUDIO with the Notch Filter in Premiere Pro

Here's how I approach fixing bad audio which is suffering from particular frequency spikes or interference, by using the Notch Filter in Premiere Pro. I thought my Rode Wireless Go might have been getting interference from my phone but in fact it was the cheap Lav mic I had plugged into it which wasn't properly shielded, so as a result it acted like an antenna.

Desperately grateful to have found the cause of this exact same interference - also with the Rode Wireless Go and a lav mic :-)

[@scottplumer3668]

I can't tell you how helpful this was! I video record lectures for work at a university, and for some reason (bad mixer I suspect) the tone generator left an 1100 Hz tone over the whole recording. With your tutorial, I was able to remove it, and now we don't have to re-record a three-hour lecture! Thank you!

[@4eyespodcast187]

This video is a godsend, fixed the problem entirely, my other solutions was to stop using USB microphones to stop that high-pitched sound but this worked perfectly thank you so much!

[@bradleycrichton]

This video was a life saver! I had the exact issue with my Wireless Go during a wedding!! I tried so many methods of removal but this was the one I needed. Thank you!

[@rocklee619]

Dude can I hug you! You just saved me soooo much stress with a project I'm working on lol. Thank you thank you! ❤

[@richwebster117]

Great tutorial, thanks. We've just finished a shoot for our Go Visit Castles KZbin channel using the same Rode radio mic's and picked up the same interference; which caused much head scratching and doubt. One of the reasons I love premiere pro is that its supported by people like you who get immediately to the point.

[@dodmedia]

I'm glad you were able to get the issue fixed!

The noise reduction from Audacity is quite the thing for that. 1) we select a noise only part and do a noise reduction analysis 2) we select everything and do a noise reduction. With everything by default it's already magic (4 clics, 5 secondes and the times to save). For strange non persistent noise not isolated there are free stuff like Spek that can plot a 2d (time freq) colored map of an audio and so see clearly where the noise is located.

10X!!

[@ianhill5147]

Hi David that’s exactly what I was looking for, I kind of knew the theory but didn’t know how Prem Pro worked. Enjoyed the talk at the virtual photography show today. Subscribed to your channel and there lots to learn. Thanks again.

[@barsnetti5987]

You have no idea how much this helps me 😭😭😭😭

[@emvyASMR]

This video was so extremely helpful. Thank you!

[@PaulSyng]

This is some ninja stuff dude!!! Love it! Thanks for sharing this.

[@CruisingAlba]

Thank you from the canals of England! You just saved our video, so very grateful! Major positive karma goes your way 😊

[@dodmedia]

Sweet where abouts are you? I'm in Oxford

[@MrWhitby]

Very helpful, I was always wondering just how to properly use the notch filter. Thanks!

[@BenjaminSmail]

Nice lighting and studio look man and thanks for the tip!

[@JimmyKristanto]

yeah i liked it too, nice ambience he got there

[@IBuzz7]

Finally found what I was looking for!

[@paulscottfilms]

Yes. As below I was able to work the notches. The Audio effects would only show on the time line, not in my Audio track Mixer. I wanted to make a template as DOD has, but later. I had two sounds to eliminate. HISS and WIND Noise. They are very different frequency groups. Hanging the microphone from a branch of a tree above the speakers at the wedding seemed bright at the time, not when the leaf wind noise came in. Lessons to go home with for me. Put a separate microphone [ or a Cell phone ] right beside each sound required. Music being played at the wedding has to come across in one soundtrack and you can not cut and throw away bits you don't like very easily. I want to get these Sound effect Equalisers in, I am thinking maybe they will take very thin talk audio to a wider frequency range. This tutorial and others like it are very valuable for us. I started making Mono prints in the darkroom in the 1980s. A film studio then would have cost about $250,000, and that's for a linear editing conventional film set up.

[@playingparents1865]

Thanks a million for this very nice video. It helped us a lot to solve our audio issues in our videos. Really well explained. Thumbs up!

[@davegetssocial]

This video saved me tonight. thank you so much!

[@fayfilmsuk3976]

Another perfectly presented ...and sounding tutorial 👍

[@dodmedia]

🤣

[@poppyproductions]

Very handy bud. great presentation as well. I have rode wireless go II and this is my exact problem. liked subscribed all that jazz as a thank you

[@dodmedia]

I've discovered that even Rode's own smartlav is not all that well shielded. It's really worth buying a high quality lav that's rated of its own merit rather than because it's part of a kit

[@jacoblopez6100]

Amazing. Fixed my problem in no time. Thanks.

[@paulscottfilms]

Excellent and thanks very much. I have been able to ignore sound until now, on short family Vids, but a wedding Video of my daughter has a wicked hiss in it. We used a Sennheiser wireless microphones and recorded this hiss to a Panasonic Camera soundtrack. Also, we forgot to put a Microphone near the Music man, another primitive mistake. I will apply this to the track and report back. Regardless this is a highly informative tutorial and I can look at your basic source set up filters for the sound. I wasn't looking forward to guess and go in Adobe audition. Paul Scott New Zealand

[@dodmedia]

Cheers Paul Scott! I hope you're able to fix it!

[@Nomisuryoutube]

great video thank you bro

[@nathaliaalzate1473]

you just save my Life with this tutorial! I will never be the same :')

[@nazianaz5155]

Really helpful

[@hoodkage416]

this was the video i needed. thank you

[@JerseyLeft]

This is fantastic!

[@dodmedia]

Thanks!

[@FinalCutVideography]

Thanks so much bro

[@Bemk_99]

Dude, thanks! Great video :)

[@mangofilms2144]

Thank you so much

[@dodmedia]

*So a bit of research tells me I got the RF interference from the Lav mic that I had not being shielded well against interference... The lesson here is buy a good lav mic!* Make sure to check out my other audio tutorials!

[@gerryellis4012]

so what did you buy?

[@krazyxki]

Yes please give us recommends!

[@dodmedia]

I bought a Rode Smartlav which recently broke so it's back to the drawing board. I'm open to recommendations

[@VistarCreative]

Wow! I didn’t know about this! Thank you!!

[@dodmedia]

Happy to help!

[@HaroldEscalona]

Thanks man! Great tips

[@carlababb5123]

Have you done a tutorial on how to correct audio that was recorded to hot? I'm wanting to use a standup when my videographer had my mic up too loud. Any way to tweak that? Thanks1

[@nitinsahu137]

this very useful video you have make, thank you

[@MadelineJenks]

What is clicking and such from poor connection when they're using a I phone and older microphone like shorting out sounds

[@Z19-x3c]

you did great job thanks men

[@zwtral]

This is a bug. No crazy noise when I first edited. Now when I got back and work on the project I have the crazy nose and doesn't matter the freq. So crazy I can put and paste it and it will randomly work, but doesn't occur on other ones.

[@danwiley9945]

Life Saver! Thanks!

[@keithdennis5085]

'Very useful tutorial. Thanks so much!

[@ToyAndGoy]

Hello Man! Great video. I am dealing with a video that the noise comes from the microphone as well and when I am following your instructions I am actually lowering my own voice as well. Any suggestions for that?

[@springchickena1]

forward this video to the vloggers

[@EmyNote0418]

I didn’t even know this was a feature. Very helpful! Thank you! :)

[@authenticbusinessentertain153]

Hi Dod Media, is it possible to send you distorted audio to fix?

[@RehaERMETin]

Where is the "hacked premiere pro template tutorial" video of yours you mention?? I can't find it

[@dodmedia]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/apTZe6ybprOqbpo&ab_channel=DODMedia

[@alexandret.8130]

great vid!

[@SeanieDHC]

Bit late to the party but I got the same frequency interference when I had my receiver and transmitter were plugged in while I was using them.

[@maddylin5093]

Could you do a tutorial on how to improve audio of a video taken on camera. I did an interview but made a rookie mistake and it completely slipped my mind to set up a voice recording. I can only use the camera audio now but the interviewee sounds tinny and distance. If you could help I would be super grateful.

[@sripal.jain4]

Amazing ...

[@dodmedia]

Glad you liked it!

[@stephennorth8309]

great video

[@miguelschneider_]

gracias!!!!

[@ahumanstory]

The track fx editor window doesn't show up when I select the notch filter ANYBODY?

[@dodmedia]

Are you double clicking?

[@ahumanstory]

@@dodmedia oh it worked, but i was not abled to take out the noise that as I wanted. Its that noise that you can get when u call wit a phone next to a speaker, you know what I mean?

[@philk7472]

very useful. A pity you got so few thumbs up !

[@angeliquedesiree-schatvinderij]

😂 thanks for being dramatic. and very helpful tutorial too

[@ivan_12345]

How do you edit sound for youtube? Do you use the Audition?

[@dodmedia]

No, everything is exactly as it appears in premiere. I use the Audio Track Mixer and apply my mixes there. I only use Audition on very very rare occasions.

[@kimgarner4567]

HELP! Will this technique work if you have a mic that has some faulty wiring? My mic is making all kind of noise - it sounds a lot like it's rubbing against something (it isn't). Is this a potential fix for that--or do you have one? I'm about to comb through your other videos. Thank you for any help in advance! This video was great!

[@dodmedia]

Ooph I'm afraid bad wiring is a bit tougher to mask because it's broad spectrum noise, not focused frequencies like this. Best bet is to get a new lead asap

[@DangasA]

thxs

[@zacharydrennan3625]

You're a real one

[@davidbeach7187]

I don't have a DAW of any kind; the interference is coming from the audio player/mixer (Kustom KPM480). What I want is a device to put between the KPM480 and a cassette recorder!! any idea's for me, please.

[@dodmedia]

What are you trying to record?

[@ChuckHaney]

But, the voiceover audio at the beginning of this is bad. Sounds flanged.

[@dodmedia]

Yeah that's more to do with the fact that I'm talking right into a corner and I didn't have any sound dampening set up in that corner of the studio yet. So my voice is basically undergoing a very tight slapback reverb which will result in a sort of box/flange effect as two identical sounds hit the mic slightly out of phase. It's fixed now :-D

[@Creativedesigninn_CDIStudio]

Best

[@giovanniformichelli]

I really think I'm fallen in love with you ^_^

[@Yamin38]

Hi, I wonder !! you can be a very good actor, why don't you try for that?
