that mouth clicks isolated audio is like the stuff of nightmares. Would actually make a good slime monster sound effect

[@voices]

Hahaha, sorry! Had to demo it. This is so true! -Randy

[@jb_2710]

I thought I'm weird for having those clicking sounds, thanks a bunch for this

[@voices]

Totally normal! Thanks for watching -Randy

[@RafaelAAMerlo]

Awesome! I still need to master what to look for in the spectral analysis one but the other DAW related I was doing fine in editing ^^

The problem is so many of them wouldn't use it because I honestly feel like they enjoy annoying people.

[@GreatOldOne9866]

@@jayrizzle9226that’s horrible. Some of us have misophonia and sensory issues. Literally cannot handle hearing those sounds. Panic and rage (mostly rage)

I'm impressed by RX MouthDeclick - such a time saver! Only issue I've noticed is that sometimes it can swallow up a "p" consonant. So listening back carefully is very important.

[@voices]

Absolutely! Listening back is always the most important step 1

Hi, may I ask how good is their support team?

[@irinalensky7403]

Brilliant, thank you!

[@easytravel4u]

Great 🎉 thank you so much

[@shahdabosreea6531]

Thanks a lot

[@BadDriversOfNapa]

Yes indeed! Voice over technique can reduce unwanted mouth noises, so you're not having to edit out as much in post. It's tricky and takes practice, but I find it works. With practice, you can consciously reduce mouth movements that create those noises. It's important to get rid of saliva buildup as well and remember to swallow between lines, if you're going to be trimming the dead areas between blocks of speech.

[@MilanMalinovsky]

Working for professional studios you really do not have to worry about your mouth noices much, because the studio has all the expensive gear to remove them in the postproduction. Of couurse, only in case your mouth noises are not excessive - then better find a new job or a speech therapist. 😂

[@newbeginning3568]

Hi, good video The problem for me is whilst I am saying the words I hear my mouth making these tongue like click sounds, any advice for that, like for example when I read ‘created’ it almost always does some sort of lil crack of saliva no matter what :(

[@SusanaCardich]

Thank you! This is so important.

[@MabilMorales]

Hi Randy!, Thanks for all the tips that you give us. I have a doubt. To edit my audios what would be do first? Should I apply the NS1 first, later the RX8 and then EQ and Compressor? Thanks for your help.

[@voices]

If you need to apply noise reduction, it's best early in the chain. I would recommend RX8, noise reduction, EQ, compression in that order. You can also try EQ after compression, but I usually like it before to get rid of any unnecessary low end before hitting the compressor. This keeps your compressor from responding to really low-end information that isn't intended. We're putting out a video on noise reduction tomorrow! Hope this helps! -Randy

[@_MrTV]

ok listening to that output noise nearly killed me 😅. Thank you for the tips this is super helpful!

[@voices]

Hahaha. We should put a mouth noises incoming warning. Thanks for watching!

[@andywolan]

I have an audio recording with lots of "mouth clicks" that I want to remove. (Hour long, too much to do manually.). The "Mouth de-click" filter sounds exactly what I need, but I am unsure which version of "RX" to get. Would "RX Standard Edition" do the job, or do I need to get the more costly "Pro" version?

[@voices]

The standard version should have Mouth De-click, so that one should work!

[@andywolan]

@@voices Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

[@voices]

This is done with iZtotope plugins inside of ProTools. Hope this helps -Randy

[@hopeforamerica1714]

Thanks again! Another question, iZotope Mouth De-Click seems like a no-brainer. Can that be used with CapCut or Adobe Rush?

[@voices]

Oooo good question! I'm not sure if you can install third-party plugins in those tools.

[@hopeforamerica1714]

Ok, so maybe not with Audacity either? What kind of platforms does it work best with? Thank you!

[@smorisch]

What about the click / pop remover in Audition? How effective is that?

That's a great question, I don't have any experience with that plugin. I'll have to test it out. - Randy

[@petethias3285]

Hi Randy! Great vid. I just came across it a year later. Better late than never! At the 1:39 mark, you break down how to identify the high frequencies of the mouth clicks & then show how to get rid of them. Well, do you guys give lessons / do coaching sessions? While using my iZotope RX9 Spectrogram, I just cannot identify & isolate the clicks in my sound waves. Hopefully you'll be able to help me. Thanks in advance! Cordially, Pete

[@voices]

Hi Pete, For learning how to identify mouth noises specifically, this is something that will take time. Practice makes perfect! If you are trying to remove mouth noises that occur during a line it is best to stick to the de-click modules RX offers, just be sure to listen back to your audio to make sure it sounds good. For coaching, we do not offer direct 1-1 coaching, but we have plenty of resources like our Coaches Series Webinars, Mission Audition and Voice Over Experts podcasts, where technical aspect of audio production and voice over are discussed. You can find them here: www.voices.com/podcasts/ Hope this helps. - Geoff

Completely misses the actual two main ways to minimize mouth noise, which is to speak off axis (while still directly on axis to the mic's polar pattern) and to employ a noise gate or dynamics processing (expander). Weird.
