Tutorial: Cleaning Audio Noise / Removing the Hiss (Sony Vegas Pro and Audacity)

[@relikcg]

Helped me out 8 years later! Good Man much appreciated

[@RalphvandenBerg]

Glad to hear it!

[@ToneRetroGaming]

2020 going on 2021 and this still works like magic. I used 9 and everything else at default. Took that air sound out of the mic recording.

[@hiora4557]

hey question lol do u have to record it on audacity? or like u record it normally then edit it on audacity, and does he save it?

[@SynysterKobra]

Holy. I had no clue you could export sony vegas audio into Audacity!! That is such a useful tip.

[@jshapan]

Fantastic Video .. for those of us on Windows 10 ... when you go save the audio to mp3 you will be get a notification to downloand a LAME file which installs in 10 seconds ... and everything works perfectly. Great job Ralph - thank you so much. This tutorial saved me a great deal of time!

[@XenoXvi]

Thanks my man,this method is better than the freaking audio restoration plugin in Sony Vegas..always messed up with my voice when I reduce the noise level.

[@farrrpa]

THANK YOU so much! I'de been wandering for over 1 hour, trying to find a real solution for my problem. You finally did it. Thanks again

[@DmytroRawk]

Thank you, man! You made it in 2012, but it is quite useful for such people like me even 9 years later :)

[@ColossalGameplays]

thank you man, i didn't realized i could open audacity in vegas! i've already did these steps before, but now it's much more faster!

[@y788lhjk1]

start at 1:44

[@y788lhjk1]

and also preferences is under options on the upper bar

[@AnexRavensong]

This helped me A LOT! It couldn't save it completely from the horror that was my shitty mic, but it DID improve it Thank you very much!

[@AbhishekRamesh1]

"Everyone should know this. Whole internet should know this". I like it. keep on going. Thanks a lot.

[@moggoon]

Thank you for such a brilliant video. It has solved my problems after I accidentally had my microphone really sensitive when doing a skype interview, picking up all my breathing and every little twitch. They are now all gone! :D

[@SNAPCHANNEL001]

you saved my time . u deserve a sub bro. keep up

[@RalphvandenBerg]

Thanks for the sub!

[@quantumnova8616]

Thank you so much for this video...I have an over sensitive mic and it pick up EVERY minute sound. This has helped a lot. Thanks again.

[@michaelsquirrel7888]

Super helpful. Thank you! I always hear a loud static sound whenever I use the built-in mic on a camera, so this was great.

[@ErmakZanee]

Thank you so much Ralph!

[@diplodium]

Thanks so much!! In 2019 still works perfectly and saved me from re-recording all again

[@MrKrossix]

I think this will help my videos, and by god do they need this. Thanks, dude

[@EquinoxNick]

Thank you so much! I've had a Neewer NW-700 for a couple months now, but have never used it because it produced a lot of hiss.

[@JulioTijuana01]

Better than expected results. Thanks!

[@spaceurchin114]

This video is fucking perfect. It fixed exactly what I was struggling with.

[@robertdevald]

Really nice tutorial, also way greater frame rates than before. All the time I had both programs and never thought of this lol

[@isaaclorvisuals]

Thanks for the help! Can't wait to start using this on my videos. 🙏

[@SunBunz]

OMG this helped SO much! Thank you! My stupid PC tower fan was so damn loud, it sounded like a noisy air conditioner!

[@TavinsOrigamiAnleitungen]

Thank you very usefull for me my fridge made annoying noises in the background. now they are gone. thanks espcially for explaining how to regroup clips

[@Apeillin]

Relly thanks... Dude that help me a lot I haven´t found a better video as this :)

[@Drywiz]

Thanks bro ! Really good tips, a must have ✌

[@RetroRaz1]

Thanks for this, this has helped me clear audio for corporate ads!

[@FurryGurus]

I know we are 3 years later, but this is great thanks!!!

[@bitterbold]

Awesome man. I was looking for a simple way like this. Thanks alot dude.

[@TalentDanceTV14]

Thank you so much been looking for a tutorial like this for ages now I have one thank you so much :)

[@vinyasajewel6679]

Thank you for taking the time to do this!! This will help my yoga videos for sure!

[@loresparrow]

yesss thank you soo much! took me ages to find the right video wow

[@Laybrat]

Hey just wanted to share my run down. I have a xbox slim and turtle Beach x12s, and trittons. I finally got the buzzing to go by changing the xbox audio cable adapter that came with the x12s. The triton s I have are defective and have to be sent back. I thought the x12s had taken a crap, it was the jack. Micro Center sales a good replacement one, or maybe Best Buy, maybe Radio Shack.

[@ChristiancGaming]

THANKS DUDE BEFORE I STARTED A GAMEPLAY VIDEO IM RESEARCHING THANKS FOR YOUR TUTORIAL

[@MartinCsorba]

thanks a lot, i was looking for a tutorial for noise reduction so long!!!!!!!!!

[@RalphvandenBerg]

Not sure. Try see if there's a way to "merge" files in vegas. One way, probably not the most efficient, would be to render your project and put the finished file back as one piece

[@iSkulk]

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you very much!

[@RedHeadSH0T]

Best tutorial ever! thank you so much

[@QualityMuffin]

Nice video! How do you record your screen?

[@RalphvandenBerg]

yeah, in the audio settings you can set it to record different devices to different tracks.

[@link1995cc]

great video, really helpful ive been trying to figure this out for awhile now

[@SilentiumTremendum]

You r righ, "its simple", but only after i watched this video. Thanx!

[@RalphvandenBerg]

Glad it helped!

[@manmanfred9073]

Wow, this works like crazy! Thanks!

[@MontaserALHalabi]

Many thanks I have other type of noise which sounds like whistle, I think it is coming from Electro Static, have you worked with it before best

[@eatmorenachos]

I searched through scores of videos and I'm glad I finally found this one, so thank you. It's very informative but gets right to the point. For some reason, when I insert the new audio track, the existing audio and video tracks shift over to the right and the new track winds up in front of them in the timeline. I tried deleting the old audio, but then I can't get the new audio to line up correctly with the video. Any thoughts? --thanks.

[@ZeSuperEskimo]

Thank you very much! This is the best solution I've found so far! :)

[@tomasonisciukas4166]

Very helpful! Is there a way to do the same thing when I have a lot of audio bits in one track, not just one file?

[@e200212310]

FYI, you can also use goldwave to replace audacity if you want :)

[@limaallencounty6077]

you rule. you're awesome, you just saved me some money...lots. thanks again

[@ridgelineaquatics4179]

Thanks for the tutorial! Now, I'm off to make videos about reef tanks.

[@RalphvandenBerg]

I know, using a shitty microphone vs. a good one is still important, but the difference this technique makes is significant

[@the_m1g4s]

wow 2012 video and still works, sry for my english btw, nice video thank you so much likeeee

[@RalphvandenBerg]

You're welcome!

[@RalphvandenBerg]

you need to set audacity as your default audio editor. I realize now I forgot to mention that very crucial part in this tutorial

[@NannerAirCraft]

Thanks man this worked great to remove the background noise in my video!

[@TheLostLT]

Thanks bro you made my editing life way easier!

[@HarshitBumb]

Worked like a champ ! Thank you !!

[@BaSs_HaXoR]

Thanks dude! You helped out a lot! :)

[@q13e5]

Ok. I have a song. one instrumental. one normal. i want to use the instrumental track to cancel out the music, leaving behind the vocal. How do i do this genius? (Vegas pro 13)

[@q13e5]

***** No worries, i found out how.

[@GhostMummy]

I keep getting a intermittent beeping sound. Thanx it did get rid of the static...I think I must have messed it up. Heeeelp!

[@v3nom11065]

Hey, thank you so much for the assistance! This really helped improve the quality of my commentary audio.

[@denlichavez4954]

Thanks man! Definitely going to try this in my next videos!

[@MrSapperism]

Great video dude, it helped a lot. Thanks man :)

[@idealoading]

nice video .how can i increase the volume of a specific part of my video with sony vegas or audacity

[@KobraVR]

Excellent just what I was after many thanks!

[@MortuNitu]

Just found out there is a way to skip to grouping-steps. Just "open copy in audio editor", do your Audacity business, hit menu>export (ctrl+shift+e) and save WITH THE SAME NAME and in the same folder as where your project is saved. EDIT: same folder as your video. It will prompt you if you want overwrite, hit yes. Then close Audacity (you don't have to save the audicity-project, but you can) and that is it! Vegas will notice the change and replace your old audio with your new edited version. No more ungrouping, deleting and grouping!

[@holamovie9343]

I kept putting mine in a .wav file form. Thx for your help!

[@dizzy_muel]

Great. That was actually a nice tutorial. But is there no way to clean the "noise" if I don't have audacity in my computer? I wanna know if I can clean my audio just with my sony vegas. Thanks.

[@PaladinArndt]

If you go to audio effects in sony vegas (by looking at your audio track and clicking the event fx button that shows up), look for something called Epress FX Audio Restoration. Raise the Noise floor while you're listening to the audio track until you can't hear the noise anymore. You may also need to lower the Affect Frequencies slider. That's the only way I've ever been able to remove the noise in sony vegas. If your vegas acts like mine, you'll have to reapply the effects if you save the project and open it up at a later time, otherwise you'll hear a "beep" sound effect. I think it's a bug in the software.

[@crazydiepro2945]

what did you used to get game audio and your voice audio not at the same layer (track)? plz help

[@RalphvandenBerg]

This depends on your recording software. Shadowplay can do this. Look at the audio settings

[@acatalepsy]

i have this problem when none of my MP3 files show up when I import it but when I drag it to my Sony vegas, it makes some high pitched screeching noise and I really need help bc idk what to do 😭

[@RalphvandenBerg]

Do those mp3 files play and sound normally in other apps?

[@AdorableVB]

How did you make your Game sound separated from the Mic sound? You only imported one file, right?

[@RalphvandenBerg]

Use DxTory to record: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4Gwdp6VntqnnJo

[@AdorableVB]

Oh. You used a different recording. Hmm. From what you said, the file size is too big for me. lol btw I use OBS.

[@IvoLipa]

Thank you wery much bro. This helped me a lot :). Wery nice lesson.

[@janrump6766]

It only removes the noise I selected, not from the whole recording. Please help?

[@RalphvandenBerg]

Make sure that after choosing the noise sample, you 'select all' for the entire range when you do the noise removal

[@janrump6766]

Ah, i see, thanks a lot! :)

[@robertdevald]

I used Camtasia and I found it to perform very bad, try Fraps, that's the most simple and fastest way of recording as far as I found. Or why didn't you use DxTory?

[@teamothy]

thanks dude from Thailand

[@RalphvandenBerg]

No problem!

[@ev.collinsokinyi5769]

Thanks. Been of great help.

[@RalphvandenBerg]

You're welcome!

[@SouthAfrican360]

You've saved my project!

[@VeryBadVideos]

Thanks man, this is great stuff

[@TechPlayground]

Thanks heaps mate, this helped a lot!

[@NotHimJim]

Very nice - thanks!

[@ApoBeef]

Awesome tut!

[@guillermoilustre]

This is Gold

[@bolloxheadzzzzz]

I'm doing all these steps, but as soon as I move it back into pro vegas, the hiss is back. Does this not work with music? It's so annoying

[@Forkoffiknife]

Thank you very much. Great video, you did a great job of explaining everything!

[@tonypatterson9418]

Thanks for the advice! Really helped me a lot! Thank you!

[@bertdefauw]

transferred an old vhs tape to pc. But i got the famous vhs hiss on the audio, maybe you got any solution for this

[@tinyontwowheels1638]

Do you know how I could reduce radio noise from footage from an in car dash cam, but retain the audio from a motorbike next to me?

[@RalphvandenBerg]

+Tiny On Two Wheels I think that is much more complicated than the scope of this video.

[@Louie661]

In my Sony Movie Studio 13.0, I do not see the "Preferred audio editor" field under the "audio" tab. please help.

[@RalphvandenBerg]

It's possible that in a newer version of this software they moved the option somewhere else, or possible that you need the "pro" version for this feature.

[@Zarasuto]

Thank you much. This will be very helpful.

[@Pixslexia]

audacity is not working well with the win10, is there another program? or substitute for audacity?

[@RalphvandenBerg]

I don't know. I could google it... or you could google it and cut out the middle man :)

[@XxHenrykunxX]

what software did you use to record the gameplay?also,you used audacity to record your sound footage? then you combined them together??

[@Roman1ty]

Thanks dude it really helped me ;)

[@GrumpyGamerLP]

Great tutorial.

[@quibz8286]

Very Helpful

[@whosvic_]

Thank you, master...😌

[@bertdefauw]

if you remove the hiss, how comes the audio is so much silent then the original ?

[@cajitaFPS]

AMAZING JOB MAN

[@Zorrko20]

My audio file gets very low pitched/corrupted once I open the sound file in audicity. Any suggestions to what is wrong?

[@BarathTamizhan]

Thankyou so much.. It was really helpful... Genius!!!

[@Iovchevska]
