Thank You so much. After all these years, Ive never known Audition had a spot healing brush. This feature will keep coming in handy. I highly appreciate it!!!!

[@MikeRussell]

Glad to have helped

[@ingarzonmediagroup]

You are a GENIUS!!! omg I just fixed a huge file that had horrific noise from the talent's hair rubbing over the microphone. Thank you so much!!!

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that my tutorial helped you eliminate that pesky background noise and improve your audio quality.

[@feldon27]

You absolutely saved my bacon with this. I have been beating my head against a wall trying to recreate a sound from poor audio samples but with this tutorial I was able to clean those samples up good enough to actually use. Incredible! Thank you.

[@MikeRussell]

It's great to hear that our tutorial helped you overcome your challenge and achieve success with your audio project.

[@cyruscrossan]

This is extremely helpful. It is literal magic, I had no idea you could brush away audio like that.

[@rochelleruby9989]

I recorded a bunch of course videos and my mic wasn't plugged in so it was using the internal mic. Oh my god, the clicking sounds from the webcam were every 2 seconds in about 3 hours of videos. I did the second healing process and it's gone and my videos are sound good now! Thank goodness I don't have to re-do all of them. Thank you thank you thank you.

Hi Mike. Which method would you suggest for removing cicada sounds at background?

[@MikeRussell]

I would suggest using spectral frequency display to remove the cicada sounds with the spot healing brush tool.

[@josemiguelvelasco5203]

Hi Mike! Amazing video as always. I have a question... Sometimes I go to concerts or gigs and the audio it's just half good because the bass drum and the bass "burst" in the audio. So you can hear the music, but it's annoying at the same time. What could be done for stuff like that?

[@MikeRussell]

A recording made in an environment like that is never going to be good quality. You would need a feed from the main board to get a decent quality recording.

[@Irene-wv5zw]

Thank you for your very detailed video :) Im having fun playing with the healing brush! How could I remove a static sound? My Blink cameras make a continuous static sound and an intermittent static sound. Not sure why. Any help is appreciated!

[@MikeRussell]

For removing static sounds like that from your Blink cameras, try using a noise reduction plugin with a profile tailored to reduce broadband white noise.

[@nikyjelinkova8276]

I'm not sure, but I think the same thing is also in audacity. I don't know how well does it work on spoken word, but I remember it was useful too.

[@mcmiller233]

Can the track mixing be keyframed? For example, you would be ducking the ambient noise as the speaking part begins in a single audio clip.

[@stefsegers]

great tutorial, but I love to see a similar tutorial with DaVinci. Is this also possible with the factory plugins of Davinci too?

[@MikeRussell]

I'm sure there are tutorials using Davinci but my choice would remain to use Audition as I believe it to be the best DAW for my usage

[@brandinojam24]

Hey Mike Russel, do you think you can make a video on how to remove percussion and bass from music? I use instrumental beats as background music however the percussion and bass seem too distracting. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[@MikeRussell]

Absolutely! I'll add that topic to my list and create a tutorial on how to remove percussion and bass from music to make it more suitable for background use. Stay tuned! I think you can do this with many of the new AI tools available.

[@marcomandaliti]

That's impressive, Mike! 😱 Hope I can get a similar result on my talking head inside a professional kitchen, which has got a good amount of reverb on it 😣

[@MikeRussell]

You'll need to chose your microphone very carefully to minimise the impacts of the reverb during recording

[@marcomandaliti]

I'm using a couple of RODE Wireless GO II attached to the chef's coat. Do you think a VideoMicro or any other mike of this kind would have been better on limiting the reverb?

[@MikeRussell]

That's a good microphone choice. Make sure you set the levels correctly and get it as close as possible to minimise pick up or reverb

I hope this find you cause I need help FAST!!! I've been attempting to clean up audio on a project and theres this static/hiss noise...I have no clue where it comes from cause towards the end of the video it goes away (slightly) i don't if its the mic (was using a lav), but I've tried everything to remove it and all it does is make the subjects voice sound hollow and tinny. I would absolutely love some advice on how to remove it cause its a project that needs to be complete by tomorrow! Thanks so much for your tutelage. I pray you respond sooner than later!

[@MikeRussell]

Don't worry, I can provide some tips to help reduce that background hiss and make your audio sound clean and professional again. Sounds to me like you’re using too much noise reduction as this can cause artifacts and that hollow sound. Have you tried new stuff like the Enhance Speech effect in Adobe Premiere Pro?

[@alittlepondfrog9819]

brilliant videos! thanks for the help

[@MikeRussell]

Thanks

[@VegasSlotsVP]

What do you suggest for videos made inside a casino, to save my voice and get rid of the copyright music?

[@MikeRussell]

I recommend using a combination of noise reduction tools in your audio editing software to reduce background noise, along with strategic use of EQ to make your voice stand out, while also considering legal implications of using copyrighted music in your videos.

[@VegasSlotsVP]

@@MikeRussell I've done all that. Thank you for your thoughts.

[@Holden_McHock]

Will these teqhniques work for removing sound effects and other noises from a piece of music rather than talking? Or will the quality/clarity of the music be too significantly affected? Edit: my gut feeling is that doing this for music will be very differant to doing it for talking, but i have no idea if thats true

[@MikeRussell]

You would degrade the quality of the music I'm afraid

[@VonClaytonGaming]

[@julianneroot5955]

I'm try to remove background noise from a video students took at a trade show. they use a shotgun mic to interview people but I can't hear it over the people talking in the background. I'v tried some of what you said to do I end up taking everything out including the interview. what am I doing wrong?

[@MikeRussell]

If you can't hear the intended audio over the "background noise" then that's not background noise and you'll have to re-record the interviews I'm afraid

[@thehunter7422]

I wish i had a PC cause this would be amazing for when i want to record my playing with guitar and possibly drums, but do you know if there's a similar way i can do this with just my phone?

[@MikeRussell]

Absolutely! You can achieve a similar result using mobile apps like Audacity or GarageBand to remove background noise from your recordings on your phone.

[@thehunter7422]

[@psaprez]

ANy sugestions for removing someone talking in the background of a podcast episode? somehow a microphone somewhere wasn't off any I have 20 minutes of jacked up audio on a podcast that was recorded.

This is highly unlikely to be possible. You can't specify which voice you'd like to remove

[@meghan4884]

What if you can't identify where the sound is? I tried the painting out the sound of a plate clinking in the background but I can't find the sound on the sprectral view.

You have to recognise the sound in the spectral view to be able to remove it this way.

@@MikeRussell Thanks

[@RKYT0]

what if there is only noise if someone speaks? like a wet squeaking noise, def higher frequency like the voice. it just sounds unnatural. like when someone rubs a rubber over a wet plastic foil. 😅

[@MikeRussell]

In that case, you can try using spectral editing techniques in Adobe Audition to isolate and remove specific frequencies associated with the wet squeaking noise, ensuring a more natural sound in your audio.

[@paultopb]

How about turning up the back ground to see what people are saying

[@MikeRussell]

Increasing background noise will only make speech less intelligible and degrade audio quality but you could totally keep room tone only.

[@gvnthercentralperk8583]

His tutorials are quite advanced. I'm a noob as well and his tutorials are always recommended. I'm struggling to understand. The terms he uses most of the time are for those who have basic understanding of Au and audio editing. When he discusses spectral frequency, I just can't grasp it. How do people even figure out which shapes certain sounds are, the graph looks like Satan's ultrasound. 😭 He needs to make tutorials for noobs and dumbasses. I think I fall under the latter. I swear I don't know what the hell I'm doing whenever I try to follow his instructions. I end up making the audio sound like I pulled the voice-over out of my big fat 🍑.

[@v_vlps]

@@gvnthercentralperk8583 LOL I get that!! I literally spent weeks studying it 6 hours a day by myself and I only know the very basics. The spectral thing is: you have to play with it, lots of Ctrl z and eventually you'll begin to notice some patterns. I'm two months now without practicing audio editing and, argh, I'll have to take a look at some tutorials again. There will come a time when we will be able to do our stuff in a blink of an eye. Don't give up!!

[@gvnthercentralperk8583]

@@v_vlps Thanks. I'm trying my best. Good luck with your projects. Hope to reach your level. Or any level at this point. It has been two weeks since I started. I just bought the Clarity plugin from Waves but it kind of leaves the voice-over sounding like I'm speaking inside a can. I suppose I really need to turn the AC off but I live in a tropical island so that means it's gonna feel like I'm recording under Satan's pits. 🥴😂 Anyway, thanks again!
