If you've ever recorded an interview, you know you can't really control much of the "ambiance" or room tone in the particular location you're in. Sometimes that's the air conditioner, other appliances, or even a cheap microphone with a loud hissing noise floor. These elements can clutter your video mix and cause problems. Adobe audition noise reduction and restoration tutorial. How do you remove unwanted noise? How do you use the noise reduction plugin in Adobe Audition? Hopefully this helps!

[@CookeAaronJ]

Pro tip: Enable the spectral display preview editor, open noise reduction (process), set to "output noise only", then watch the spectral display preview editor as you adjust the sliders and advanced settings in the noise reduction effect. This will allow you to see what, if any, of your "signal", is being removed. Use this to control artifacts by setting the effect to a place where the noise is removed as much as possible without seeing significant amounts of the signal in the spectral display preview editor. This is also a great way to learn what the various sliders and advanced settings do by seeing the actual result, in real time, of the effects output. This can obviously be used with any effect, but I find it particularly useful when evaluating noise reduction effects both inherent to Audition and third-party created.

[@OliverJHughes]

This is a HUGE tip - thank you!!

[@comradekirilov3483]

Thank you for this advice Aaron, alhough I have no idea where to enable the preview editor. I would appreciate a reply, thanks!

[@celkat]

@@comradekirilov3483 In the upper right corner of the Editor window there's a symbol with several horizontal lines on it. Mouse-over and it says "Show Preview Editor"

@@celkat Thanks ! But can't find it in the CS6 version :(

[@FaceWarp]

@ CS6 vers could be a slightly different layout. Best bet is download the user guide from Adobe and get it from there.

[@palwindersingh9678]

I think that gate feature is now natively available in Adobe Audition 2018. It's under Effects > Amplitude and Compression > Dynamics. You can either use AutoGate or Expander.

[@MBWeddingFilms]

I've been using Audition to remove noise from my wedding films for a couple years now.. I decided I'd try and just learn a bit more, ya know see if I was missing anything. All this time there was a little box that lets me hear noise only and wow was that a helpful little nugget! Thank you so much!

[@igobyandrew]

First time viewer here, I really like your videos. I REALLY like how you give a scenario in the beginning. That really helps! Thanks!

[@BrokenNotDead]

Amazing. Thank you very much. I was having this problem on my videos and now I finally can fix it in an easy way

[@ScottTakai]

Thanks a lot for this! Always wondered how to fix that gargley noise. You explained it perfectly!

[@mayrarutherford9925]

Wow! Just discovered your video and am SUPER stoked! I have clients who bring me audio and want me to fix them and this will add so much value! Thanks for all you do!

[@aryab4665]

Thank you. I knew how to do the noise reduction process but the tidbit you handed me on adding a gate was new and awesome for me. The little things...

[@kamerontristen5057]

For an audio neophyte like myself, with little time to spare to learn more about fixing sound, this video alone saved me a lot of time. Thanks!

[@usakingcobra9920]

Excellent tutorial Oliver.Thanks a lot.

[@bintimedia439]

[@MorrisLiveProductions]

wonderful tutorial and interaction i like it, very helpful

[@felipeiglesias]

The noise gate is a really cool tip. I was editing my audio with noise reduction and taking out clipping but there was still some “echoes” in the background and I’m think there are some low frequencies under -50db. I will try your tips in my next video. Thanks!

[@Dillon0Moore]

aye this video was so helpful! i hope you have more like this, if so you got urself a subscriber!

[@magicn8]

I've searched how to remove noise reduction for rap purposes and you actually were the best youtuber on the explanatory side . Now i know wtf those buttons do .. Ty ! Bless ya

[@TheR5]

Great video, I didn't know about the gates. I never saw anything under the VST menu from the top effects menu on my Audition. Thanks!

[@jorevora]

Thank you for this video! I've been struggling all week with the noise in my video!

Great video, Oliver. I’ve been using the noise reduction process for awhile. There would be times that I couldn’t get that digital sound in the noise to go away. Now I know what to do. Thanks!

[@OliverJHughes]

YESS! I’m pumped to hear that

[@anamaria7106]

[@thilinaprasad1102]

[@jeanniebrown6838]

I thought this was extremely helpful. I am going to give this a try. I have a 332 page book I wrote, that also put into audio, that has floor noise. I found out it was the flourescent light. Thank you.

[@OliverJHughes]

YES. I'm glad I could help. Good luck with cleaning up the book audio!

[@B4NTO]

Great video :) might consider for the future to actually do the Gate after my recordings instead of during recordings to avoid breaking an entire recording for no good reasons. For livestreams tho i will have to do it live still. Simple great tutorial well done! :)

[@angelexpressions9514]

The gate for the warbling sound effects; in the drop down menu under the wave file for #1. I have 2 gates that are named differently than yours, but the problem is when I hover over it or click on it, nothing comes up; no window or menu.

[@TechFusionGuy]

Wow it was awesome video

[@Percyflag]

Very useful tips.

[@mirsepehrmahvan9471]

Very useful. Tnx ❤️

[@ambaudler]

Happy I read these comments...I was confused on why I couldn't find the gate.....makes sense that it is a plug-in :)! Love your videos tho!

[@OliverJHughes]

Yeah I did that a lot last summer - focused on using the stock tools and plugins in my newer videos! Thanks

[@sharpfocuscreative]

Thassa fresh fade you got there, bruh!

[@OliverJHughes]

Hey friends, thanks for spreading the Audio Gospel™ here on KZbin!

[@shafqatmehmood2881]

i am Waiting for your Reply

[@luishfims]

Oliver J Hughes thank you for providing this video. I definitely needed a better way to edit my audio.

[@ehsannajafi9918]

loved the subtle tips. When I do the noice reduction process my voice sounds a bit robotic, what ca I do?

[@pillowtalk8988]

Thank you!

[@nikhilsukumar23]

Thank you. This is the easiest way. May I know how to mix this audio file into the video file.

[@OliverJHughes]

Are you using the Premiere/Audition round-trip capabilities? If you selected “render and replace” from the actual sequence you would simply save the file in Audition and it would be saved in Premiere. If not, you’d have to re import and re sync in Premiere

[@KevinCODunn]

First: Your pacing is great. Next: I have both Aud 3 and CC. In Aud 3 you can capture your edit -- like old school when you would mark tape. You could rock the tape over the heads and fine-tune the cut by moving your marks. Really important when you're dealing with presentations and voice-overs where you have to make someone who is burdened with "ums" and "uhs". Or someone who is stumbling through all these crutches and gets the first part of a sentence well and falls apart, but the second try has a strong end so you might have to edit in mid-word. Because of this AUD 3 capture feature, where the edit is there until you release it, I use AUD 3 a lot. CC only holds the edit for one review and it releases it. Editing a lecture is hell in CC -- if there is a toggle anywhere in CC please advise. I've posted this question to ADOBE but they refer you to FAQ and most people who work in production now are not aware of razor editing and how the early versions of all audio editors followed analog brain prints of the steps. Before it was AUD 3 it was Cool Edit Pro. Thanks in advance.
