[@joshuakellard1935]

Mike, thank you for your helpful, informative videos. I had a quick question concerning matching clip loudness (segment beginning at 2:25). When I import host audio and match it to the music's loudness, I encounter a slight hissing sound in the voice track whenever the host is speaking - a little bit like the sound of someone ironing in the background. It fades when no speech is outgoing. I'm guessing this may point out an issue in my processing of that host track. Any ideas as to how to prevent that? With thanks.

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you for your comment! It seems like the hissing sound might be coming from the processing of your host track. To prevent this, try reducing the noise floor by using noise reduction techniques like spectral editing or applying a noise gate to the host track.

[@joshuakellard1935]

@@MikeRussell Thanks so much, Mike - much appreciated. I think I found the issue in redoing the noise reduction I'd done on the host track. I seem to have 'under-done' the noise reduction, due to a fear of taking out too many frequencies. Going back and being a bit more aggressive with noise reduction has produced host tracks that I can boost without producing the hissing sound. Thanks for taking time to respond!

[@shirinr.6193]

thank you so much ! I had no idea of sound editing and now look at my voice!

[@GregMurrayEnt1]

Great Job. I have been using Adobe Audition since it was bought from Cool Edit Pro and rereleased as Adobe Audition 1.5. It has gotten better over the years. I bought CS6 when it was released, the last full buy out from Adobe. I still use CS6 Collection for most of my media creation. Thank you for the video.

Tip for good music and voice blend. Lower the mid frequencies on the music. Thats where the voice frequencies are and so you separated them more.

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you for the tip! Lowering the mid frequencies on the music can help create a better blend for sure!

[@nancynorton2854]

How do we set chapters for the podcast? is that done in audition?

[@InfosecTheater]

Thanks, this is amazing. I was able to reproduce most of the things. Except for one: in the Multitrack Editor... my waves for Guest and Host are just nowhere near to see. So the amplitude is really "low". But it's easy to hear us. Any chance to "zoom" that, so that you can see that?

[@MikeRussell]

Yes, you can easily zoom in the Multitrack Editor by using the zoom in/out tools or by using the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl/Cmd +] to zoom in and Ctrl/Cmd + [ to zoom out.

[@Silentfish0_0]

can I also use this settings for commercial and narrative voice overs?

[@MikeRussell]

Yes, the settings and techniques shown in this tutorial can definitely be applied to commercial and narrative voice overs to achieve professional results!

[@ezgikepir]

This was very helpful thank you. I have a question :) How do I connect my guests voice to guest track?

[@MikeRussell]

Are you talking about recording or editing? You can assign the correct input in the recording settings for the multitrack or if it's editing you can drag the files to whichever tracks you want in the multitrack

[@ezgikepir]

@@MikeRussell hi sorry I forgot to mention, my question was for recording part. Thank you

Hi Mike! After recording something on Audition, what is the correct way to export this to Premiere, considering that I want to do a Video Podcast? Thank you!

[@MikeRussell]

Hi there! To seamlessly export your audio from Adobe Audition to Premiere for your video podcast, simply save your Audition project, then import the audio file into Premiere and sync it with your video footage. Thank you for your question!

[@R.D.G.C.]

During the fade out, how do you lower the volume of the music to a low level, and not totally out? Like I wanted some quiet background musing going through the whole podcast? Awesome job! I am learning a ton from you!

[@MikeRussell]

You could look at side chain compression or using essential sound ducking

[@theamuller9665]

Mike! Thanks for sharing these videos - I'm new to audition and this is very helpful, however I have an issue which I can't seem to resolve. I'm editing a 15 min podcast, and the host of the podcast had a flu while we recorded - which made him breath maybe a little louder than normal - I want to remove this, but can't seem to figure out how to slow down the speed while editing - thus making it difficult for me to stop the track at the right moment and clip it out. Is there an easy way to slow down maybe 0.5 to 1 and have a little more time to react? :) Kind regards!

[@MikeRussell]

Hi there! You can try using the time-stretching feature in Audition to slow down the audio for easier editing - hope this helps! 😊🎧

I'm wanting to set a pre recording click so I know where to come in. I don't seem to be able to find out how anywhere. Any help much appreciated TIA

[@MikeRussell]

To set a pre-recording click in Adobe Audition, go to Edit > Preferences > Recording, and enable "Pre-Roll" with the desired number of seconds to give yourself a countdown before starting your podcast recording. Hope this helps!

[@xO_oxDK]

Mike... I have no idea how those settings work, but I know I can hear they work on my recording, so thank you for this! :D

[@Guy-Scott]

Do you edit the podcast after you did: mixdown session to new file -> entire session? Or do you remove the ums and ahs when still in the multitrack?

[@MikeRussell]

All editing would be done in the multitrack

[@emiliachavez4311]

How can I configurate 2 mics, one for the host and the other one for the guest?

[@MikeRussell]

To set up 2 mics in Adobe Audition for a podcast with separate tracks, go to Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware, select your input devices for each mic, and create individual tracks for the host and guest to record on.

[@nyd100]

How your microphone records directly stereo (2 channels)? When im working with 2 microphones (dynamic xlr) i get only mono recording for each microphone.. What do i need to change?

[@MikeRussell]

You'll need to set your recording software or mixer to combine the two mono tracks into a single stereo track or use a stereo mic or microphone array that can capture a stereo signal in one XLR connection.

[@nyd100]

@MikeRussell how do i set it in audition?

[@ShoppBom]

Well, this really simply and cool tutorial. Further more, it is available onThis is the best free software Ive seen.

[@MikeRussell]

Just to confirm Adobe Audition is not free software

[@KoningKasimir]

To delete a track in Windows it's ctrl + alt + backspace. ctrl + alt + delete gets you to task manager.

[@MikeRussell]

That's useful information, thanks!

[@syafiqzailan]

How do you sync the audio to the video? how do you set the frame rate fps and stuff if you record in audition and how to deal with drifting audio in the video

[@MikeRussell]

Record ideally on a different source and sync in Audition. FPS and more can be set by changing the time units displayed in preferences.

[@syafiqzailan]

@@MikeRussell Thanks Mike! testing it later.

[@MikeRussell]

Cool 😎

[@lenguyenphuoc]

I wonder how the sound can increase from -23 LUFS to -1dB without any other effect, I guess that's the effect of Mastering? Is it right Mr. Mike.

[@MikeRussell]

Hi there! Yes, you're absolutely correct - the increase in sound from -23 LUFS to -1dB without any other effect is a result of the mastering process in Adobe Audition. Great observation!

[@evolve236]

My audition does not record that way into dual tracks and cannot catch audio when i turn record on into the multitrack system with my mixer and mic all plugged in and presents correct. Do I need a new mixer? It only records into the waveform new sound file mode on very low levels, even when clipped on the mixer... My audition is broken.

[@MikeRussell]

Sorry about the trouble! Check Audition's Audio Hardware settings, ensure your mixer is the primary input and update drivers.

[@Lavenderchai62]

I have adobe audition never made a podcast before would this be the same if you were interviewing 2 people? Do they need headphones like the host?

[@MikeRussell]

If they're in the same room and can hear each other then the guest will not need headphones. If they're recording remote then the guest should wear headphones to stop the sound of the speakers being recorded at their end.

[@Lavenderchai62]

@@MikeRussell if there in the same room can two guests share a microphone?

[@MikeRussell]

To get best audio quality you would want each guest on their own microphone.

[@ClancyDEntertainment]

So I just finished up my first podcast. I merged all “my voice” clips on the top main track for easy editing from multitrack to waveform, however, when bringing it back over into multitrack, I hear little bits of buzzing in between speaking points but I do NOT hear them in waveform.

[@MikeRussell]

It sounds like you may have some effects on the multitrack (like dynamics) that may be enhancing the buzz. I’d say double check the effects rack!

[@ClancyDEntertainment]

I was able to figure it out. Now currently trying to self teach myself how to edit my podcast, even though I`ve already turned it in, but really wanting to get even better at audio editing@@MikeRussell

[@savioaugustoapbr]

Obrigado! Aula fantástica.

[@MikeRussell]

[@rwindmann]

For your voice, why are you recording a mono signal to a stereo track? And for matching loudness, why didn't you set the LUFs level? Also, is matching loudness useful for music audio, say if you are making a song? I know why you didn't use a compressor - I watched your Rodecaster Pro 2 video ;)

[@MikeRussell]

As long as your audio channels are mapped correctly it doesn't matter if you record your voice in mono or stereo. Technically the stereo recorded file is dual mono anyway. The multitrack track armed to record was a stereo track, that's why it's recorded stereo. Normally I would normalise to -16LUFs but for this video I've just used the default in Audition. What you match loudness to is really only important in the final mixdown to ensure your hitting any applicable loudness standards.

[@rwindmann]

@@MikeRussell Yes, that's what I do. After the master is done, I pull the one file in Audition and then set the LUFs level. Thanks for the fast response!

You can solve that with mic positioning and correct gain setting

[@godslayerreginald]

@@MikeRussell ok also you know any live bg noise suppression apps

[@MikeRussell]

You will need to identify the noise and remove it at source to get the best quality recording. Any noise reduction will reduce audio quality. I'm afraid there are no shortcuts here
