I really appreciate this comprehensive workshop video... no other as clear and thorough out there. Just curious, my voice waves are much like what are in this sample (though I've never had much hum/room noise). I'm recording with a Rode NT1 kit (with preamp) and speaking with about the distance of a hang loose hand sign from my mic. Is there something I can do differently on the front end of recording to improve the recording?
Good question. I like to divide my script into parts and indicate where I will breathe during each part. While recording, I also will say certain sentences several different ways and then choose the best one during editing. Good luck!

@Dr. David Taylor - PeakWriting this video helped me with my editing. Thank you so much! I am now trying to record and for some reason audacity isn't picking up quiet sounds, like scratching ( which I need ). I've tried everything and nothing works! Do you have any advice?
David, thank you very much for your content. Im starting my own podcast using a lot of what I have learned from your videos. One thing that I am struggling with, is when exporting the audio to Mp3. The audio doesn't seem to have the same quality and bass. Recording on 16bits - 44100hz, equalizing on "bass boost" and normalizing at -2.5 and still very robotic and kind of tremble voice. Any suggestion? Thanks mate
The 16bit--44100Hz setting is for CD quality. You can definitely go higher: 32bit, 96000, or even higher and see if the larger file size makes a difference. You can also export out using one of the other codecs, depending on what program you will use the file in next. "Uncompressed" is the largest file size and is closest to the original. You may also want to normalize at -1.5 dB and see if that helps. Also, try equalization with the graphic sliders to reduce treble. The "robotic" element sounds more like a delivery or acting issue.

David, thanks a lot for the helpful info. I think my question is very basic. Starting around 7:00, you say the audio is too bassy and let's remove some base. Then you move the sliders up. I thought moving sliders up would increase the bass; that's what seems to happen when I try it. What am I misunderstanding?
When using a graphic equalizer, the sliders are used to change the wave form. Moving the slider up caused the bass area to move up to more of a treble range (and thus less bass).

I have a PC and the latest version of Audacity however when I want to EQ - there is only Graphic EQ available, not "Equalization" so no function as per your video. Do you have any advice here? Can only look at only the fader buttons without the actual Curve. Thanks!
FANTASTIC Video. Thank you for posting. Especially your talk about Noise Reduction. I never knew how to adjust the settings. Do i understand correctly...? _Normalize_ sort of highlights the hum for easier capturing in Noise Reduction? THANK YOU AGAIN! This video helped me so much!!

Holy cow! This is undoubtedly one of the best Audacity tutorials *ever*. I just couldn't figure out that stupid hum and only you brought it up. I was doing Noise Reduction multiple times,but I found it affects my voice a bit. Makes it slightly metallic. Can you help? Any ideas?
Extreme--First, make sure you are selecting a part of the clip that has no speaking. Second, use the slider on the Noise Reduction tool to *slowly* remove noise. Keep repeating and adjusting the slider to take out more noise. At some point, you will either remove all of the noise or your voice will begin to sound metallic. At that point, that's it. If there is still noise left, Audacity cannot help you any more. Good luck!

you said Equalisation is making the harsh sounds less harsh and the soft sounds louder. But isn't that compression, which is "the process of lessening the dynamic range between the loudest and quietest parts of an audio signal. This is done by boosting the quieter signals and attenuating the louder signals" . I don't understand the difference. thanks

dear sir, i have been using audacity for the last 7-8 years. i have recently updated it to version 3.1.2. i have been using karaoke tracks available in you tube and other channels and record instrumental songs played in my key board and upload to my channel in you tube. i have been playing the instrumental tune in the same pitch of the karaoke track. But for the last 2-3 days, audacity is recording my instrumental track up by 2 pitches than the actual pitch in which i play the tone. i am not able to understand why it is doing it. My audacity project rate (Hz) is 44100 and i changed it to 44800 but in vein.... please help me how to enable audacity to record in the pitch which i play my key board and not in different pitch.....

Excellent tutorial! What if the background sound is a hiss close to the frequency of the human voice? is there a was to narrow the band of the noise reduction so the voice isn't affected/reduced? Thank you!
Hello, David. Thanks for the informative video. In EQ I usually do bass boost and treble boost and it seems to work pretty well. The question I have is, how do you go about setting up an EQ curve?
Hi, To create a new EQ curve and save it so that you can apply it to future clips, first be Select EQ from Effects, then Graphic radio button, move sliders to achieve your desired effect, then click Save/Manage and give the new EQ a name. It will now show up in the selection list in the future. Good luck!
Thanks! As far as getting the desired effect, is it really a matter of trial and error or are there recommended settings? If there are defaults, maybe I can just do some fine tuning.
You're welcome! If you are using the same equipment and environment for recordings, EQ presets or plugins can be helpful, especially as starting points. Audacity has about 8 built in. You can download EQ plugins and import them into Audacity. Just Google "Audacity EQ Presets" and "Audacity EQ Plugins."

Thad--Thanks for your question. The more that you crank in noise removal, the more likely the tool is to eat into the vocal part. My goal when a clip has substantial noise is to use the reduction tool just enough to flatten the noise and not affect the voice.

hello!thansks for the tutorial,really big help.wanna ask if possible to adjust the voice volume for the other persons that i record.where on the meeting but i cant hear loud coz other person whose near on me is over lapping the whole voice memos.hope to hear you soon.
ANother channel said that effects should be applied in this specific order if you want max optimal sound recording. 1.Noise reduction 2.equalization 3.compression 4.normalization but you went straight to normalization lol. WHats your opinion about this order?
Sounds good. I think Normalization should be applied first and then the other effects. Normalization changes so much in a clip; it's best to do it first.
@@peakdavid Thanx doctor, really appreciate. You have a new sub from kraazy South Afrika...Did you see the Audacity update yesterday? Can you please do a quick tutorial explaining which new features are actually useful?

I did Noise reduction + compressor +equalization + normalize, will that make my recording better? Becausr i can still hear a bit sound of the background..
If you still are hearing background noise, you need to do Noise Reduction again. Isolate and sample at least one second of the background noise and redo the Noise Reduction. Play with how much you take out without distorting your voice signal.
@@peakdavid as i said, i already did noise reduction, then compressor, than equalization, than normalization, so if ill do noise reduction again, it wont ruin the audio or something?
@@JAdrew No, play around with the setting to take out more or less. Be sure to sample only background noise, no spoken parts. See th-cam.com/video/CJJgJfI_sZ4/w-d-xo.html

I have been playing audacity for a bit now. Nice and easy to work with. Im trying to figure out to remove the white noise from a psb7 recording. Btw your voice reminds me of ezra levant. 👍
Hi, Lee. After you import the clip to Audacity, try to find a 1-2 second section of nothing but the noise. Then conduct the two steps of noise reduction. Increase the amount of reduction as needed. th-cam.com/video/CJJgJfI_sZ4/w-d-xo.html
Hi just wondering to ask ,if I don't have mixer & no interface can I direct to my computer? Second if I use dinamic mic iz it will have a problem? Sory just asking if u don't mind to share
The beauty of USB mics and audacity is that you do not need a mixer and everything is direct to your computer. You should use the best mic you can afford.
Mr. Taylor, I got problem with voice turn out not clear evenly i reduce amplify it not reach red line. I use scarlett 2i2 and AKG 214C Mic. Can you tell some tip here? Thank you so much!
Yes, it can. At the beginning of video, hit record and don't breathe or say anything for 5 seconds. That 5 seconds will contain the ambient noise that Audacity can remove. If during recording a loud car goes by, pause your speaking, let Audacity record the car noise, then remove the noise using the technique demonstrated in the video. Good luck!

David, I submitted a book reading voice over through ACX, and they rejected it a couple of times. I don't hear it dough. I believe if my laptop fan. I fixed it they said that is too quiet. So, I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?
@@peakdavid at first I was using Beat earphones connected to the Mic+ but I stoped doing that because I believe that it was transmitting static to the recording.
hello i just ordered a corsair hs 50 head set with mic and i heard a couple reviers say it has a somewhat tinny sound or has noise compression going on. is there any simple,free tools to help fix that?
Apparently I am the only one with this problem, but I could barely hear you. I applied the obvious solution and increased volume on my computer, and was NOT prepared for the female voice that SO much louder than your voice, it scared my dogs so bad they ran yelping from the room. I read several but not all of the comments and didn't see anyone else mention this...is there something wrong with my sound?
I feel sorry for your dogs! No, my part of the audio needed to be a lot louder. I was working quickly for students and using my headset five years ago.
@@peakdavid Haha, I can't believe you even saw that 5 years later!!!! But I seriously wondered if it was on my end, that's why i asked about it, i seem to experience that kind of thing often and that just occurred to me maybe I am my problem! (AND, I am getting older and just don't want to acknowledge I may be reaching the stage that involves not hearing things so good, seeing things less clearly, and darn, I broke anothe tooth!) But maybe I will get my audios cleaned up before i go, ya think? Thanks for replying, that was truly awesome! You're Okay, David Taylor!
In Audacity 2.3. 3, the Equalization effect has been replaced by two new effects: Filter Curve: An FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) filter, similar to "Draw" mode in the old Equalization effect. Graphic EQ: A graphic equalizer, similar to the "Graphic" mode in the old Equalization effect

Oh, so theres no way to minimize those sounds in a recording? Do you have any tips I could use when I record a podcast to have minimal sound affecting my podcast?
@@ryankim9017 In that case you have no other option but to rerecord. Do so in a small room, isolated, and put towels and blankets on surfaces to minimize echo. Hit record, do not speak for 3-5 seconds, then begin speaking. Make sure your mic is 3-4 inches from your mouth,. Good luck!
Is there a reason when I listen to your video I hear a loud hum?. When I pause your video, it quits. I checked other audio files and didn't hear it. So I was wondering.

Greatly appreciate your help David - I’m a novice to ‘computing’ sound and this is an absolute wonderful start - I don’t understand a subject till basics are tackled and u have admirably done so
Good on u and take care

I really appreciate this comprehensive workshop video... no other as clear and thorough out there. Just curious, my voice waves are much like what are in this sample (though I've never had much hum/room noise). I'm recording with a Rode NT1 kit (with preamp) and speaking with about the distance of a hang loose hand sign from my mic. Is there something I can do differently on the front end of recording to improve the recording?
Good question. I like to divide my script into parts and indicate where I will breathe during each part. While recording, I also will say certain sentences several different ways and then choose the best one during editing. Good luck!
Thank you David 🙏

Excellent video, really helped. Noise reduction is great feature. Would in my music production days use a gate but so much better.
Martin, you sound like a pro. Gates are good (and I need to do a video on this) but noise reduction is better for background noise.
@Dr. David Taylor - PeakWriting this video helped me with my editing. Thank you so much! I am now trying to record and for some reason audacity isn't picking up quiet sounds, like scratching ( which I need ). I've tried everything and nothing works! Do you have any advice?
Hi this is exactly what I am looking for thanks very very much.
David, thank you very much for your content. Im starting my own podcast using a lot of what I have learned from your videos. One thing that I am struggling with, is when exporting the audio to Mp3. The audio doesn't seem to have the same quality and bass. Recording on 16bits - 44100hz, equalizing on "bass boost" and normalizing at -2.5 and still very robotic and kind of tremble voice. Any suggestion? Thanks mate
The 16bit--44100Hz setting is for CD quality. You can definitely go higher: 32bit, 96000, or even higher and see if the larger file size makes a difference. You can also export out using one of the other codecs, depending on what program you will use the file in next. "Uncompressed" is the largest file size and is closest to the original. You may also want to normalize at -1.5 dB and see if that helps. Also, try equalization with the graphic sliders to reduce treble. The "robotic" element sounds more like a delivery or acting issue.
Very useful video - hums drives me crazy! Excellent work, David!

Hai David Sir ...
Very useful tutorial . Thank you
David, thanks a lot for the helpful info. I think my question is very basic. Starting around 7:00, you say the audio is too bassy and let's remove some base. Then you move the sliders up. I thought moving sliders up would increase the bass; that's what seems to happen when I try it. What am I misunderstanding?
When using a graphic equalizer, the sliders are used to change the wave form. Moving the slider up caused the bass area to move up to more of a treble range (and thus less bass).
@@peakdavid Thanks for replying! I didn't realize this was how it works. I thought up is more, down is less.
Very helpful thanks...I’m a musician and I needed this.

Really enjoy the channel - thanks for all the info! I have a PC and the latest version of Audacity however when I want to EQ - there is only Graphic EQ available, not "Equalization" so no function as per your video. Do you have any advice here? Can only look at only the fader buttons without the actual Curve. Thanks!
"That is a lip smack" lol great video though
Thanks, Lion!
FANTASTIC Video. Thank you for posting. Especially your talk about Noise Reduction. I never knew how to adjust the settings. Do i understand correctly...? _Normalize_ sort of highlights the hum for easier capturing in Noise Reduction? THANK YOU AGAIN! This video helped me so much!!
Exactly. Normalize evens out the audio gain and brings up the background noise.
Thank you very much. It was very useful!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH BROO, YOU WAS HELP ME TO FIX NOISE IN MY AUDACITY. LOVE YOUUU..🙂
Holy cow! This is undoubtedly one of the best Audacity tutorials *ever*. I just couldn't figure out that stupid hum and only you brought it up. I was doing Noise Reduction multiple times,but I found it affects my voice a bit. Makes it slightly metallic. Can you help? Any ideas?
Extreme--First, make sure you are selecting a part of the clip that has no speaking. Second, use the slider on the Noise Reduction tool to *slowly* remove noise. Keep repeating and adjusting the slider to take out more noise. At some point, you will either remove all of the noise or your voice will begin to sound metallic. At that point, that's it. If there is still noise left, Audacity cannot help you any more. Good luck!
@@peakdavid Thank you so much. I didn't know about the slider. Will definitely try that ASAP.
David.... "You Rock!" Thank you. What a "Pro!"

great tutorial!
Do you always normalize first and do you ever normalize again after EQ and compression?
Yes, I try to remember to normalize first, and, yes, sometimes it's necessary to normalize again after compression. Good luck!
Thank you. And does it matter what order you do EQ and compression?
you said Equalisation is making the harsh sounds less harsh and the soft sounds louder. But isn't that compression, which is "the process of lessening the dynamic range between the loudest and quietest parts of an audio signal. This is done by boosting the quieter signals and attenuating the louder signals" . I don't understand the difference. thanks
I teach my students to use EQ to boost or reduce selected frequencies for a more natural sound in comparison to their actual or desired voice.
Good evening guys it's really very good and exciting to learn online so we are requesting you to post more videos so that can learn more and more thank you all guys.

dear sir, i have been using audacity for the last 7-8 years. i have recently updated it to version 3.1.2. i have been using karaoke tracks available in you tube and other channels and record instrumental songs played in my key board and upload to my channel in you tube. i have been playing the instrumental tune in the same pitch of the karaoke track. But for the last 2-3 days, audacity is recording my instrumental track up by 2 pitches than the actual pitch in which i play the tone. i am not able to understand why it is doing it. My audacity project rate (Hz) is 44100 and i changed it to 44800 but in vein.... please help me how to enable audacity to record in the pitch which i play my key board and not in different pitch.....
Unfortunately, I am not able to help. My experience with Audacity is limited to voiceover work.
Excellent tips. Thank you!

Excellent tutorial! What if the background sound is a hiss close to the frequency of the human voice? is there a was to narrow the band of the noise reduction so the voice isn't affected/reduced? Thank you!
Thanks. Yes, with Audacity's Noise Reduction, you can filter for any frequency you wish.
Hello, David. Thanks for the informative video. In EQ I usually do bass boost and treble boost and it seems to work pretty well. The question I have is, how do you go about setting up an EQ curve?
Hi, To create a new EQ curve and save it so that you can apply it to future clips, first be Select EQ from Effects, then Graphic radio button, move sliders to achieve your desired effect, then click Save/Manage and give the new EQ a name. It will now show up in the selection list in the future. Good luck!
Thanks! As far as getting the desired effect, is it really a matter of trial and error or are there recommended settings? If there are defaults, maybe I can just do some fine tuning.
You're welcome! If you are using the same equipment and environment for recordings, EQ presets or plugins can be helpful, especially as starting points. Audacity has about 8 built in. You can download EQ plugins and import them into Audacity. Just Google "Audacity EQ Presets" and "Audacity EQ Plugins."
Your video is very very helpful. Thann you.

wooah audacity is overwhelming.. Can I compress first, then noise removal after? or is it alsways better to remove noise and then compress.
Noise reduction --> EQ --> Compression
@@peakdavid I was doing it the other way around. Thanks so much for the reply.
@@SuperstudentAcademy You're welcome! Actually, I left out the first step: Normalization ->Noise Reduction -> EQ -> Compression (then you may have to re-normalize.
@@peakdavid great!! thanks so much
Thanks! You really are a great help. I'm learning so much. Do you have any other videos on audacity? At this time I am using a cheap headphones with mike. I am planning to get a Blue Yeti in about a week from now. But would like to practice recording with what I have now but I was not able to get it to work. Is it possible?

Bob Ross of Audacity
What a compliment! Thank you!
Probably a basic question, but why not just reduce it by 48 decibels instead of incrementing it down?
Thad--Thanks for your question. The more that you crank in noise removal, the more likely the tool is to eat into the vocal part. My goal when a clip has substantial noise is to use the reduction tool just enough to flatten the noise and not affect the voice.
Thank you so much, that was really helpful

Hi David- Would you please do a video on how to get rid of an echo. My client recorded herself with air pods, so lots of echo. Thank you!
Bad news--in this case the echo is not background noise. If you remove it from between her voice, it will still be part of her voice.
David Taylor thank you. I ended up having her re record herself. But I was hoping there was a way to get rid of it.
Nice bro help a lot..this tutorial👍👍👍
Thanks, obs. Let me know anything else you need.
hello!thansks for the tutorial,really big help.wanna ask if possible to adjust the voice volume for the other persons that i record.where on the meeting but i cant hear loud coz other person whose near on me is over lapping the whole voice memos.hope to hear you soon.
If there is only one microphone, the answer is no. If different speakers are on different microphones, yes. Record each mic on a different track.
ANother channel said that effects should be applied in this specific order if you want max optimal sound recording. 1.Noise reduction 2.equalization 3.compression 4.normalization but you went straight to normalization lol. WHats your opinion about this order?
Sounds good. I think Normalization should be applied first and then the other effects. Normalization changes so much in a clip; it's best to do it first.
@@peakdavid Thanx doctor, really appreciate. You have a new sub from kraazy South Afrika...Did you see the Audacity update yesterday? Can you please do a quick tutorial explaining which new features are actually useful?

very good bro.. thanks.
You're welcome! Glad that it helped.
I did Noise reduction + compressor +equalization + normalize, will that make my recording better? Becausr i can still hear a bit sound of the background..
If you still are hearing background noise, you need to do Noise Reduction again. Isolate and sample at least one second of the background noise and redo the Noise Reduction. Play with how much you take out without distorting your voice signal.
@@peakdavid as i said, i already did noise reduction, then compressor, than equalization, than normalization, so if ill do noise reduction again, it wont ruin the audio or something?
@@JAdrew No, play around with the setting to take out more or less. Be sure to sample only background noise, no spoken parts. See th-cam.com/video/CJJgJfI_sZ4/w-d-xo.html
The version of Audacity that we are using does not have EQ. Do you have any suggestions?

I love audacity
Hi just wondering to ask ,if I don't have mixer & no interface can I direct to my computer?
Second if I use dinamic mic iz it will have a problem?
Sory just asking if u don't mind to share
The beauty of USB mics and audacity is that you do not need a mixer and everything is direct to your computer. You should use the best mic you can afford.
Mr. Taylor, I got problem with voice turn out not clear evenly i reduce amplify it not reach red line. I use scarlett 2i2 and AKG 214C Mic. Can you tell some tip here? Thank you so much!
Try recording on someone else's computer with your mic. That will tell if you the problem is your computer or your mic.
David Taylor Thank you!
can this also remove sounds from outside your window like cars passing by? or would there be a different approach to that if its possible
Yes, it can. At the beginning of video, hit record and don't breathe or say anything for 5 seconds. That 5 seconds will contain the ambient noise that Audacity can remove. If during recording a loud car goes by, pause your speaking, let Audacity record the car noise, then remove the noise using the technique demonstrated in the video. Good luck!

Try out your new headset and if the mic produces a tinny sound that you don't like, then return it for a refund and get a desktop USB mic.
@@peakdavid so it would not be a fixable issue then?

How do you get rid of thumps and paper sounds without ruining the audio?
Ryan, if these sounds occurred while you were speaking, you will have to record again. Sorry.
Oh, so theres no way to minimize those sounds in a recording? Do you have any tips I could use when I record a podcast to have minimal sound affecting my podcast?
@@ryankim9017 Ryan--do the sounds occur anywhere that you are not speaking?
Oh yeah, but sometimes there are sounds of water sipping and paper crackling while there is speaking
@@ryankim9017 In that case you have no other option but to rerecord. Do so in a small room, isolated, and put towels and blankets on surfaces to minimize echo. Hit record, do not speak for 3-5 seconds, then begin speaking. Make sure your mic is 3-4 inches from your mouth,. Good luck!

Good one!
Does anybody know what happened to that one white boy audacity rapper?? I forgot his name.... can't seem to find his videos anymore!??
re-do this vid but isolate the hum and remove the voice, thanks!
LOLO
i need help lol nothing new though lol. im not able to get the equaliser to enable is this due to using an external one for my mic
Normally, if an effect cannot be applied, it means the playback is on Pause instead of Stop, or another window/dialog box is open.
Is there a reason when I listen to your video I hear a loud hum?. When I pause your video, it quits. I checked other audio files and didn't hear it. So I was wondering.
I have no idea.
it's because there's a low frequency hum on this video.
