Too hard to notice the different

[@jrothra]

I like his points, but I would add a few notes: 1. Noise reduction - not every mic or sound recording system filters noise out, and so I'd always do that first 2. Compression sounds fine for short clips, But for longer ones, such as podcasts, I'd be wary as it can make every inhale very loud (esp. if recorded using a lapel mic), making the whole thing harder to listen to in the long run 3. It was very hard to tell the before and after with your commentary (which was edited in post-production) so closely intermixed Overall, though, this advice is sound.

[@Food5Thought]

"this advice is sound" No pun intended?

For those looking for the EQ, Audacity has been split it into two effects, the "Graphic EQ" and the "Filter Curve" effect. The "Filter Curve" effect is pretty much the same as the "Draw" mode of the old EQ effect

[@ThisKory]

I watched probably 10 different videos showing how to correct audio in Audacity and Mike's video was the one which worked for me. Don't stop here! Everyone's mic is different, and you can keep tweaking and previewing to see what sounds best to you. Personally, I added the "Noise Reduction" filter on top of the steps in the video to get rid of background noise from my central air/computer fans.

[@trublgrl]

I'm sure someone has mentioned this, but you are not normalizing, you are amplifying. Amplify adds gain, in other words raises the amplitude (volume) across the board. If you are near to distortion before adding gain, you can easily distort your recording using this method. Also, when you say "amplify to minus 3 db", you are actually lowering the amplitude by 3 db. The amplify effect is not relative to zero, it is relative to the sample's volume. Audacity does have a normalize function, and it works in the way you describe. Normalize scans the entire file, finds the highest amplitude, (volume), and changes the gain so that the highest volume is at the point you set in the query box, relative to zero, and the rest of the file changes relative to that amplitude increase or decrease. Thanks for your video.

[@MediaM5]

i was wondering as i am a new user to it and was performing it along with him on a voice test. it had me all sorts of screwed up as it wasnt sounding out i wanted. some was very low some was distorted. i am not using amplify and it came out how i wanted.

[@Jen0va52]

This comment is actually incorrect because in the video Mike using the box which determines the peak value in the "amplify" feature. That would effectively do the same thing as the "Normalize" function.

[@4ourhearts643]

@@Jen0va52 Actually, your wrong, it doesn't do the same thing, if you use the Audacity 'normalize' effect with the same settings(as far as they can be the same)as the 'amplify' feature the audio is very different. If you want to argue with this you can, but I use Audacity daily, and I tested each feature with the same piece of audio in separate recordings just to get my barrings when I first started.

[@raaaavlogs]

EQ Equalize (frequency vs voice) N Normalize C Compress (cutting edges of loud noise & boosting lower voice) N Normalize (should be final to equal wave)

[@classifiedyt]

U missed noise reduction sir

[@MikeRussell]

Noise reduction is not needed if you record in a great environment.

[@zloygik]

@@MikeRussell Well most of us don't. For example, desktop PCs introduce constant fan humming to your sound background.

[@Toonixs]

Are u serious Classified YT is here no way bro . Big fan sir

[@clastastic]

Oh wow, never thought I'd see you here!

He did that when he did the compression by adjusting the noise threshold. The point at which the sound is allowed to go through. Usually at around -30db, though with my gear and environment I go for -40db or -50db

[@ShawnKitchen]

Not to beat a dead horse, but the Normalize function in Audacity is actually called "Normalize", not "Amplify". It's right there in your drop-down menu at 2:09.

Great tips! One important thing about Audacity is that once you apply effects, there's no way to remove them if they're saved, so it's easy to overdo it and then you've ruined your sound sample. ALWAYS use copies of the takes that you like, that way the original raw recordings are always there to return to if you need them.

Thank you for the great tip! It's always smart to work with copies of your recordings in Audacity to avoid losing your original raw audio.

Hello Russell, I appreciate that you actually take the time to answer comments.

I'm not very familiar with audio processing software and would love to know more about it.

[@tharii314]

I just guessed and here I have the exact makeshift technique I use for my voice. Except I use fast lookahead limiter from Audacity LADSPA and yeah, I started normalizing it lately. But, I'd rather use some around 8 Hz HPF (Usually GLAME Butterworth) to flatten those Random DC Offsets once and for all, since my mic is just a gaming headset mic, probably a simple electret condenser mic through a dirt cheap USB soundcard that surprisingly gives a good enough gain.

Compression may make your voice sound like a real man's voice, but it is *extremely* tiring to listen to. It's ok for a promo or a commercial because nobody really listens to those anyway, but don't use it as your default gadget to fix something that you think is wrong in your voice, because all you are doing is making your audience tune out. It sounds like crap on in the long run, so learn howto speak, then fix *mistakes* in post. Don't use post as a magic box that "makes" your voice.

That's unfortunate but could be recoverable. You'd want to roll off the bass to remove the poppiness. You may be able to improve the audio quality using EQ by boosting certain frequencies and possibly cutting some mid range frequencies.

Excellent, equalization can work wonders for improving less than ideal recordings.

May I please ask -- when you grabbed your mic & moved the boom over to turn around and face the camera -- did you have it muted or are some apparatus just that quiet? I'm thinking it was muted but didn't know for sure, as I've always had budget equipment.

Hi Mike, just bought a new vlogger mic it's powerful, really but, how can I have a radio effect as yours, recording and broadcasting on youtube with MAC ? I followed your settings, doesn't work. any other app or really need an external device ?
