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.

@@celkat Thanks ! But can't find it in the CS6 version :(
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
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!
clicked on. Very detailed and to the point, thank you so much for tNice tutorials! I subscribed and I look forward to watcNice tutorialng and learning more about
Great Video! Where can I download the plugin for the Rack Effect (showed in the 6:17 to 7:07 portion of the video) to work with? Thank you for your work!
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!
Give this bro a thumbs up! This is a wealth of knowledge on a subject I'm adding to my graphic/ motion design bag of tricks. Thank you for everything you do! Mad respect.
If you consistently edit podcasts I would HIGHLEY recommend looking into the presets this dude has for audio production. Really helped me step up my editing game and actually learn how to effectively process audio like a professional
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.
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.
Great video thanks... I am getting to grips with Audition but I am still figuring out the basic steps to follow. I have a scene in an office with some background noise, what are the logical steps to take? Should I do noise reduction before normalizing and compressing? -- does compressing come before normalizing? Is the noise gate also an alternative to noise reduction? And what about adding EQ? Sorry for all the questions, I've done some audio editing before but I am on a steep learning curve here...also there is De esser and dehummer. What steps can you take to improve dialogue quality after you've degraded it slightly with all the effects? Thanks for any help.
Great questions! SO.. Here goes.. Yes I would ALWAYS noise reduce first because of the way compression will manipulate the noise floor - run a noise reduction pass then right into compression. Normalization is at the very end, all that does is change your average levels by moving everything up or down, it doesn't act like a compressor. Noise gate could work but in the case of talking in an office room it might sound unnatural. However if the noise you are trying to remove is undesirable than a gate would be a great choice effectively silencing anything that isn't dialogue and you could add in sound design after. It is inherently different than noise reduction because it acts on certain amplitudes instead of actually extracting noise on different frequency bands. EQ as needed, after compression in my opinion. Just always shoot for pulling the low mids back in dialogue (200-1,000 hz). DeEssing is great after compression too as it will pull back the sibilant frequencies (S and T sounds) if they get harsh post compression. K. Clear as mud? Haha hope that helps!!
Hey there Oliver Hughes, great video! I was just wondering if you could tell me the plug-in that you have installed that I might order it as well, and/or do you know if there's a more recent version? Thank you for your time!
@@OliverJHughes absolutely, and thank you for your speedy response! found that website thanks to your video, but there was a lot of options that I'm a newbie to. I also figured that since this video was from 2017 that there might be an updated version or something. Might be overthinking it, haha, but a young jedi would, right? ;)
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! :)
What happens if you add EQ after this process to bring some air to a lav mic? Does it reintroduce some of the higher frequency noise you cut out in the noise reduction process? Gating after the NR process is sadly not something I've done, and will definitely do from now on, because DUH, gotta get rid of the spectral squirrel noise. Thanks for great content.
Great video. I was using a noise gate only and it kept cutting my dialogue. Also, after I applied the gate, the audio would pop and cut out if it peaked too loud. I’m going to try out the noise reduction. Thanks!
Very easy to follow. Just wish your sample video had more significant noise so I could see how you tackle that and I could follow your steps. I have an air conditioner (which you even mention up front) going in the background on a key video and it's muffling the dialog horribly.
@@OliverJHughes As I've discovered. Also, I'm guessing, why they aren't used in demo vids. ;) Interestingly, after watching your video, I spent a couple of hours toying with the percentages, decay rate, precision factor and smoothing, I ended up not using the feature at all. The vocals were much clearer and easier to understand albeit, the annoying noise in the background whereas reducing the background noise made it difficult to understand what was being said and there wasn't really a good compromise between the two.
For some reason I am not able to find that distortion under the vst3 section. I am new to Audition therefore I am sure I am doing something wrong here, but the question is: What Exactly? Highly appreciate the good work man, please advice.
I have a few audio recordings made during rock concerts in the 70s. As one would presume, the sound quality is very poor. Partially due to the limited ability of the portable cassette recorder/microphone used. Add to that, many years of media degradation (tape noise, clicks, etc). Is there any improvement in sound quality possible?
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.
