How to Remove Noise - Wind Noise, Mouth Clicks, Background Noise & Static - Adobe Audition Tutorial

[@MikeRussell]

💥Exciting update! If the above method doesn't work for you, I have just collaborated with www.lalal.ai/voice-cleaner/?fp_ref=mrc (affiliate link) - results are AMAZING and it's free to try it (although you need to pay to download the songs). Highly suggest giving those guys a try. 💫 ‼UPDATE FOR ADOBE AUDITION USERS ‼- I have made it easier than ever before to work with tricky audio. My brand new Audition presets are out now. One click to GREAT sound :) Check them out here: mrc.fm/presets This is a great way for you to support my channel too 🙏🙏🙏

[@endlesssummerpodcast]

Question for you Mike... (dumb one but I'm new) .. I take it I copy the audio track from the video I have in Premiere Pro, and then paste it into Audition then clean it and save it and bring it back into the project I'm working on?

[@stancerito]

Omg, thanks a lot for the lalal ai voice cleaner suggestion. It works like a charm and saved me a lot of work/cost, much appreciated!

[@jackrippers8526]

Can you share those untreated audio files so viewer can participate as an exercise

[@iwatchedthevideo7115]

Used to work in radio ages ago, and suddenly got some audio editing to do in my new job. These tutorials are absolutely fantastic to get back in the game! Also it's amazing how much the tech has evolved to become so much more accessible for everyone these days, compared to when I had this as a day job. Love it! Radio/audio will always have a special place in my heart. Such a great medium

[@MikeRussell]

Thanks for taking the time to comment

[@bosshog5335]

the #1 channel for audition BY FAR!!!!!!

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you

[@JackHenryGreene]

This is the first denoise video I've found that's actually helped me save as much quality as possible. Thanks so much for this.

[@MikeRussell]

You’re welcome 👍

[@XdarthbizzleX]

Same here. I scoured related content trying to find a way to get rid of these mysterious bumps on some clips I would not be able to reshoot. I never seemed to come across any tutorials showcasing this granular approach. I finally asked the Reddit community for help and someone sent me this link. Of course it ended up being a Mike Russell video, I should have known. A vast majority of the things I have learned in my current novice phase of editing have come from various Mike vids. Lesson learned: check Mike Russell's channel first to see if the topic I need is covered. Mike, you have a knack for teaching. Clear and articulate without bloated information or unnecessary content. The structure of your videos is so smooth and shows the forethought you have about your subject matter. So many tutorial videos are all over the place making seem as though the creators are just winging their thought processes as they record. Then there's the content creators who think it's a good idea to include background music to a video about audio editing. Making it impossible to pick up on the actual audio differences in their cleanup tutorials. Thanks for sharing your skills with such a high level of quality Mike.

[@christoffelbotha2087]

Me too Bud

[@camilleromney8269]

I don't know why anyone bothers watching anything other than your videos. They're clear and incredibly helpful.

Thanks Camille

[@Urmilpatel17]

My fifth video in a single hour. I am flattered by your genius. Thank you very much for making this video. It will be helpful, since I live in a noisy apartment which is not good for recording.

[@MikeRussell]

Glad to have helped

[@hoangcuc1a09]

Thank a million of times. I was nearly hopeless after trying every noise reduction until I got to know the spot healing brush tool from your video. You saved my life. All the best for you.

[@Gta6Planet]

that last one is crazy, whenever i use noise reduction it makes my voice sound like in talking through a pillow or something but ill try doing ur method of adding the other effects too. sick video mate!

[@MikeRussell]

This is why it's best to record clean audio and use these methods only as a last resort. Good luck sorting out your audio

[@joeywernet9233]

[@smritimehta]

Mike, your videos have been so tremendously helpful for me as an amateur podcaster with a shitty mic. Thank you so much!!

[@MikeRussell]

Glad to have helped. Out of interest what mic do you have?

[@smritimehta]

In fairness, it's not horrible, and I really like how compact it is. But I keep getting this static noise and I'm not sure what's causing it.

[@MikeRussell]

Are you using XLR via an interface or USB?

[@smritimehta]

@@MikeRussell USB

[@MikeRussell]

The only suggestions I have then are to try a different USB lead and a different USB port on your computer. In the event neither of these solves it it’s more than likely the mic itself as USB mics have both the microphone tech and the analogue to digital conversion tech housed within.

[@miraclewalkerproductions]

Thank you, this is the first one of these instructional videos I could actually follow clearly. Thank you very much for deciphering this for people like myself. You have a great voice too BTW. Cheers

[@GhostyMan97]

I just started to get into voice recordings and stuff... Been meaning to get into it for a long time... I have a low budget mic and a room without any acoustics or anything of sorts... this really helped in reducing all the background noise that bothered the hell out of me... Thanks a lot... :D

[@MikeRussell]

Glad to have helped. While it's not necessary to have a quality mic and sound treatmenet to get into voice work if you want to pitch for the higher end (better paying) jobs you'll need an acoustically treated space and at least a mid-range mic to get through the auditions for jobs as a quality producer will be able to spot the post processing.

[@wolfamri]

Thanks a lot for all your helpful videos, Mike. Whenever I have an audio issue or question, I find help on your channel. Since I found your videos, my audio has improved big time and my subscribers appreciate that just as much as I do! May I ask a question: if the wind is really high, I get some wind noise despite using small dead cats on lavalier microphones. After I remove that with hi-pass, the voice sounds A LITTLE like listening through a phone - I hope you get what I mean, it's just higher and not so warm. Do you have a method how to improve that after reducing the wind noise? Thanks again - keep going!

[@MikeRussell]

I think the issue here is that the wind noise is more than just low rumble. Using the HP filter will cure the wind noise but in doing so you're also removing the lower frequencies in your voice which, once removed, you cannot add back. Perhaps look at the HP filter lower down, no higher than 120hz and a combination of that and De-noise or adaptive noise reduction.

[@wolfamri]

Thanks, Mike. Much appreciated. I'll give that a try! Maybe I'm just too picky 🤣

[@MikeRussell]

Wind is a microphone's worst enemy!!

I'm going to try this out! My friend and I are new to the Podcast world. We have no idea what we're doing in terms of editing our audio! Our first episode contains weird static noises. Hopefully this is a solution to our problem. I'll report back to let you know how it went! Thank you :)

[@MikeRussell]

Hi Roro. I hope this works out for you. The best advice I can give is to minimise the need for noise reduction by eliminating these noises prior to recording. Good luck with the podcast 👍
