How To Apply Noise Reduction in Audacity

[@1oolabob]

I like that you did this video to fully cover one operation. It allowed me to understand all the steps. Too many of the Audacity tutorials run through 10-15 operations too quickly for me to see every step, then I'm lost when I try to do any of those operations. Really, Audacity is pretty simple, but only if one makes the correct moves in the proper order.

[@LearnAudacity]

Thank you. I prefer to be methodical when I’m teaching something.

[@klchu]

Thanks for this more detailed video. So many of these "reduce noise" videos just cover the basics.

[@CharlieB86]

😅😢

[@anujintumurbaatar9937]

OMG was really sad about the noise and I probably have watched 10 videos but nothing helped but yours was the best one and I really appreciate your content. Thank you so much

[@LearnAudacity]

Thanks!

Instant subscribe. Clear, concise, down to earth tutorial. Thanks a lot, bud.

[@RolyPolyGames]

Oh this channel is going to be a treasure trove of helping me with video editing and sound editing for my game. Thank you.

[@LearnAudacity]

Glad to help!

[@wilcandou]

Hi everyone... So that your grab doesn't sound glitchy when you reduce the noise, try this: 1) don't go crazy with the sensitivity. Pull it back around 15-18dB. Then 2), in the frequency smoothing bands, select 5 or 6 bands as this curves the noise profile and leaves what you want to remain not as glitchy sounding. 😉

[@wudonnoods]

Thank you a ton! I was not sure why my reduction made my voice sound so odd, but with the noise reduction db help I was able to fix it!

[@TheBinaryWolf]

Thank you. What a pleasure to watch a gifted teacher...no filler, just good info.

[@grzegorzbaanda1714]

Straight to the point, very informative. Thank you!

[@rsxen8990]

perfect video. really helped pointing out the DB reduction and why certain number was selected!

[@LexArturo]

Thank you very much for the clear instructions with visuals 🙏

[@anthonywilliams3606]

If you don't want to watch 7 mins to do something this simple, first highlight a sample of the noise in your track that doesn't include audio, select noise reduction > get noise profile, than highlight the whole track and go to it again but this time push OK at the bottom.

Noise reduction the vídeo 😂 I got tired of listening and listening and listening and doing nothing

[@YonathanJ]

Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial, this is going to come in very handy for my channel! I made a quick test and the audio quality is incredibly better with just a little messing around with noise reduction, cheers

[@LearnAudacity]

That’s great! Thanks for letting me know.

[@fixitmakeit72]

Brilliant sir. Was ready to invest in a different mic but this solved my noise issues. Well done great video. Have subscribed.

[@LearnAudacity]

Thank you!

[@PenelopeZakou]

Thank you so much for this detailed video! This is the first video that has actually helped me clearly understand the noise reduction settings.

[@youdontknowme8608]

Thank you for the useful tip. That helped a lot

[@kead6636]

This was a nice and easy tutorial, thank you. I notice that the voice part also gets affected by doing this, not necessarily for the better. Should I aim for a lower reduction? Like -50dB instead of -70dB to keep the quality?

[@awaitingthetrumpetcall4529]

Thank you. I stepped through my recording and followed along.

[@brandoncroll]

Great video! Keep up the good work!

[@falcoperegrinus82]

Would selecting a longer piece of noise make the noise reduction work better since you're giving Audacity more data to work with?

[@ashuuddin6415]

yo SIR! this is brilliant haha. I can't believe my crappy microphone could produce such a crisp voice over haha. Thanks for helping us out here

[@yOGlo]

Lol

[@dagmawilemenih]

This is a really good video and helped me out a lot. Thanks my guy 💯

[@LindaHolmanNZ]

Thank you so much, I've really been struggling with this :)

[@eheh56]

Thx!!! This really helped me! I'm so thankful to you, sir

[@georgeprice4212]

I generally take the needle drop/lead in and massively crank the volume level on that, grab that as the sound to remove. I then undo most of the work, except for removing the entire audio track…and it works perfectly for me.

[@Daniel-Judson]

God bless you, so thankful for this tutorial!

Glad it was helpful!

What settings would be best to strip out car engine noise from a dashcam?

[@LearnAudacity]

Maybe try noise reduction.

[@theheartpharmacist]

Thank you so much for this! I had a difficult time figuring it out after trying to select the section for noise reduction. It really isn't very intuitive...

[@LearnAudacity]

Glad it helped!

[@adirmiller2141]

This guy reminds me of the how its made guy, as in his voice. Its amazing

[@MrNitehawk7]

Thank you for this. It got me through the noise reduction on a 30 yr old cassette tape I had recorded some songs. The songs sound good. But for some reason it reduced the noise to zero. My audio playback meter shows absolutely nothing. When the song begins the meter shows normal decibels. My noise was at about 44 dB before. 0 dB after. I used Noise Reduction of 30. Sensitivity 6. Smoothing 3. Song sounds good, but should I have gone with 20-25 reduction instead? Thanks for your tutorial!

[@LearnAudacity]

Don’t be too aggressive with noise reduction. It can be a trial and error process. Make sure you back up your project first.

[@RobotRich]

Really great video!

[@eyitayoayodeji3690]

Nice video thumbs up

[@sentimentaloldme]

A big problem with noise reduction is it effects & distorts the original audio..The higher the setting the more distortion.. I don't use it for that particular reason..The very most I would set it to is 12...

[@LearnAudacity]

It can. It also depends on what's in the audio you sampled to get the noise profile. I've never had it distort my audio but I know it can.

[@josephsy]

How the.. hell did it do that. amazing. thank you

[@LearnAudacity]

Glad you liked it!

[@lunama151]

Any chance I can remove some background noise without affecting too much the speaker voice on my video? I got cars and other noise at the same time when the speaker talk, and audacity isn't doing a good job. Thanks.

[@LearnAudacity]

That's hard to do completely. You might try it using RX10 or something similar. But that's pricey.

[@lunama151]

Thanks for the quick reply!

[@alilotfi1304]

Thank you very much

[@JFK1180]

How does this affect the background noise? And the ACX checker. Also thought the track sounds metallic after listening to it after trying this.

[@trozarkiller]

Thank you.

[@JeromeNishanXavier-b9b]

I just started recording videos for some local bands. Just purchased my first editing software today and am not a techie. Can I filter out the annoying people around me that are talking while the band is playing without sacrificing the quality of the music?

[@PolishVoiceFM]

Hi. I’ve got problem with recording with Audiacity and using scarlet solo. If record single channel then OK but one channel is quiet if change for 2 channels then is error code. One microphone single connected to scarlet. How can I record podcasts on two channels with scarlet?

[@GrasyMagal]

I've done all those settings, and nothing has been happening, still showing me on ACX check -132 db. It's been hours I'm trying to change it. but I can't. anyone can help me please!!!!

[@sissyv.6074]

Hello! I have a specific question. When i record my first podcast there was noises in the background and i tried to remove it with effect - noise reduction. The first setting for dB to not hear it i tap 17, but the volume is quiet, it mutes my volume quite a bit and I don't know how to remove the noise without reducing my volume so much.

[@VRG1959]

Sir, I don't know how to contact Audacity My concern is iam not able to save project file in hard disc( External).. can you please forward my concern to audacity platform or give me solution. I don't want to save in c drive for space problem... Please Sir 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@LearnAudacity]

You can reach them at forum.audacityteam.org

[@johnjusko4789]

Hello When you do this why is it that you have misgivings about noise reduction in which I would use the DOLBY NR coming fromn my cassette tape decks because all of our CD players don't have DOLBY NR in themif I'm correct and so what do you think about this here?
