This course is an absolute GODSEND. I am just about to record a professional demo while being directed over zoom (rookie status now obvious ;) and your tutorial has me up and running, and starting to get confident with audacity! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES.

Is there a way to cut out noise that is not the voice, but is a result of coughing or dropping something in the background while the voice is happening? i.e. through editing frequency/volume/?

[@Soooeren]

so would you recommend to use noise reduction before features like QE and compressor? Thanks Joe

[@JoeAtClaricast]

With Audacity which applies the effect destructively, I would remove any noise first with Noise Reduction (if possible). Then EQ and compress what you're left with. It's more effective at removing noise. Then you can just focus on getting the best sound with EQ and compression.

Really good tutorial Joe. Successfully edited wind out of my audio file. Thanks!

Hi Joe, hope you're still watching your video comments. You're talking about more serious noises at 1:12 like cars and washing machine, is it really possible to remove or reduce those noises and how? Thanks.

[@JoeAtClaricast]

Hi Joe, it depends on the noise really. If it's continuous in tone and you can find a piece of audio with _only_ the noise, Audacity should be able to pick it up and reduce it. If the noise changes over time or is too loud it'll have a harder time. iZotope RX does a much better job at noise removal but it's not cheap.
