@@John_Thompson he is not even the first who does things like that - I watched a lot of noise reduction audio tutorials on youtube - none of them had real clear background noise that you can reduce - so many people full of shit
because it takes more than this basic step to really reduce the audio. I again got tricked into watching these useless tutorials with no evidence of them working
When following the directions in the video, I would always end up with an unusable file. And the reason is that while it DID reduce the noise, it also made the vocals sound tinny, or under water. To prevent this I found that using a Noise Reduction (db) level of about 34 and a Sensitivity of 1.50 did the trick.... all hiss or background noise is GONE, but also no tinny sound. While this may seem counter intuitive and flies in the face of the settings (and why) in the video, it did the trick.... and that is what matters. I am posting this just in case others ran into that problem. Cheers!
you are actually right. Noise Reduction (dB) means how much you want your noise be reduced. If it's 0, then, the output file would be the exactly the same. If you choose to too big, the output file would be reduced too much, while you own voice are also severely affected.
really unprofessional video, only explained one parameter out of three(noise reduction, sensitivity, frequency smoothing) and the only explained one is wrong.
So I was playing around with the slider for Noise Reduction and noticed that at 0 the background noise remain unchanged, and at 48, the background noise completely disappeared. Around 1:22 you talk about how the lower the value, the more the background noise will be reduced, and the higher the value, the more prominent the background noise will be. I believe it's the opposite, as in the higher the value, the more the background noise will reduce. Great video though. This was really helpful :D
Wow! I am 60 videos into YT and I used to use this incorrectly to remove 'silence' from my audio, and i used to cut out the background noise and breathing manually by fading in/out every segment between speech. This has cut my work down by alot, thank you!
After checking so many videos on how to eliminate the background noise, this is the first and very accurate one that explains exactly that!! Great video, short and straight to the point. Well done!!
@@MDK22420 there probably bot comments lad i mean there this much people saying saved my life in a inaccuare audacity video and it doesnt even work just made littly reductued the entiren audio file for me didnt take out the bit i wanted out
Your video was very helpful! I have some pretty bad background noise, and though the noise reduction effect doesn't remove all of it, the results are good enough for me.
You are simply a life-saver! I am a BA Journalism student in my final year, and I had to make a podcast about the lockdown, with home equipment. Thank you!
It doesn't work for me. Everytime I try to remove background noise, it doesnt actually remove anything. I even tried putting it down to 0 and still nothing.
thank you so much, it worked! i was confused at first but basically you're capturing the background noise on its own then removing it from the rest of the file
I cant believe this, I don't know how you figured this out but keep doing it! I was afraid I would never be able to post videos because of my mic until getting a new one but wow! Great job and you just saved me on my actual youtube account thankyou so much!!!
I've always found the spectegram especially helpful when finding "nice silence" to sample... I've used it to tune out a persistent bird call by my window while recording a DnD game. Otherwise to say, nice concise explanation.
Thats because you have to do the the opposite of what the guy recommended you should take the noise reduction nob to the right not the left. Try it again with that in mind.
because he doesn't quite understand it himself. putting noise reduction at 0 makes no difference, putting it at 48 removes almost everything. he said the opposite thing.
Wow thank you so much, I was attempting to do it myself without guidance and I thought I needed to buy a new mic. But following this it has helped a lot!
Yes, this certainly works for static noise and other background noise you maybe facing - For more updated tutorial on this topic go to my channel and watch a video on this for 2017
aaah at last someone who knows what there doing ..thanks you for this video mate. sorted all my problems in less than 3 minutes .thanks you. been taking months to sort this out. thanks bro.
Thank you so much :D I've spent hours trying to find a good tutorial for getting rid of background noise, I followed this and now my sound clip is near perfect! Thank you xxx
This is fantastic........... eventhough i leave it as u said, i still dont get what i need, but the second part u show , i explore it and preview and i get what i want ............ thank you so much.. i just learn new thing today
Don’t take this the wrong way but I LOVE YOU MAN!!!! Thank you! I’m currently doing a radio story set in the world of RESIDENT EVIL with 20 actors and I’ve been stuck on the same episode for a month since I got a better mic. I can finally progress without having air sounds in the background! Thank you again!
Oh my word thank you so much! I am a small content creator and my next video recording was going to have too much feedback with background noise. I never fully understood how to use audacity but this really helped. Thank you so much!
just a tip. after recording you can hit ctrl+r and it will automatically remove the noise. I'm not sure if this would produce bad quality sound by skipping the steps to get the noise profile. But it works pretty good for me, probably depends on the noise. I'm using Windows 10 btw.
How!!! How does it work? It actually works, while companies that claim their software does it, it actually removes the audio using this technique, For Free? And this was 5 years ago, and still WORKS! Thank you so much for this. I have Autism and struggle with basic things like this, so thank you for helping me figure this issue out, something so small that has the easiest fix. Thank you for your help.
2:48 - "As we can hear, it's a nice, crisp audio file."
There was no background noise to begin with.
Sooo true

@@Dark_Angel555 i have a video on audacity noise removal you can check it. trust me audacity is great for removing background noise.

Thanks so much!👍

At 1:42, I think you are mistaken. O dB noise reduction would be NO reduction. All the way to the right would be max in this case.
you are actually right. Noise Reduction (dB) means how much you want your noise be reduced. If it's 0, then, the output file would be the exactly the same. If you choose to too big, the output file would be reduced too much, while you own voice are also severely affected.

Great video though. This was really helpful :D
I found the same
Works like a treat, Thanks!
I'm wondering if noise reduction mutes the hole audio or only the noise I don't want

This gets rid of the sound but turns your voice into a robot.
I KNOW RIGHT
I have the same problem, have you found out how to fix that?
+Mightyimpact turn down the db
It's all about finding the right balance between noise reduction and robot voice. I set it at 10db and it was the sweet spot I think.
I been looking for this type of tools for the passed few days with no success, until i found this video
A MILLION THANKS DUDE!
Thanks for creating a easy to follow quick video :)
How simply the seemingly complicated way of noise reduction explained!!! Thanks! Stay blessed forever!
Your voice is awesome!
Very helpful Dusty. Greatly appreciate your work here.
Thanks so much! This cleaned it all up! U Rock, Cheers!
Great tips, the sound improved considerably. Thank you.
You are my flippin' hero man I made content but it was shit but not anymore thnx to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too!!
You are simply a life-saver! I am a BA Journalism student in my final year, and I had to make a podcast about the lockdown, with home equipment. Thank you!
It doesn't work for me. Everytime I try to remove background noise, it doesnt actually remove anything. I even tried putting it down to 0 and still nothing.
No, haha the higher the db the more noise is removed...
Thats the opposite of what he said in the video tho?
He says in the video at 1:38 "The further left you slide that slider the more that is reduced." All the way left is 0.
But it's fine I got it to work.
He said it wrong. Turn it up for more reduction.
thank you so much, it worked! i was confused at first but basically you're capturing the background noise on its own then removing it from the rest of the file
Skip to 0:50 to avoid annoying Radio DJ voice and unneeded intro. Great tutorial though. Thanks for posting.
a rude sentence saved by a nice compliment kind of LOL

This is so helpful, and refreshingly concise. Thanks so much!
I've always found the spectegram especially helpful when finding "nice silence" to sample... I've used it to tune out a persistent bird call by my window while recording a DnD game.
Otherwise to say, nice concise explanation.
I'm having trouble. I'm doing everything shown here. and the background noise I'm trying to remove is my PC fans. but the noise still remains there.
+Zarikar gaming Some noises just cannot be removed due to the nature of them. Most noises can be reduced but not totally eliminated.
I guess you should record some silent moments before every video this will help audacity to differentiate between noise and rest of the recording
Thats because you have to do the the opposite of what the guy recommended you should take the noise reduction nob to the right not the left. Try it again with that in mind.
It actually worked thank you so much!! It's been hell trying to find out how to do this.
Base Note ur a legend thank u!!!!
Thanks mate very well explained!
makes no sense doesn't work
yea

When I do repeat noise reduction it makes my voice all glitchy
Thank you so very very much. It works like charm at getting out the line hum/hiss. You just saved me so much time and trouble!!! Thanks again.
Will this work on removing static?
Yeah but change the noise reduction to 48 db

Didnt work
Captain BOWWtie did find any nice app of removing atmosphere sound and vehicles sound plz tell me
Thank you this helped a lot! Now I can record DECENT audio now. :)
How to remove background noise!
1. buy a mic
And more so, a dynamic mic. Condenser mics are great, but they pick up EVERYTHING. And thus you end up battling unwanted noises.
This is so awesome and I love your voice ♥️
Great video man. Straight forward and easy, been looking for this!
Awesome, this worked!! Thanks!! P.S. Your voice is killer!
this is exactly what i was looking for, worked like a charm. thank you so much!
