thanks SO MUCH for being so quick and to the point and helpful. The second method saved me and worked so much better than the method I saw in a different video.
Thanks for creating the video. I've been experimenting with the Amplify effect and agree that it makes the recording more human, yet still takes away some of the distractions from breaths in the recording. Too cool.
I haven't watched the video yet, and I need this video so much, but I'd like to take a second and say how likeable you are. Your face and demeanor are very pleasant and thank you for making this video.
This is ridiculous. It's 2020 - if humans can identify breaths in a file at a glance, it should be relatively simplistic to automatically edit them. All I want is a tool for Audacity that states "If there is noise between -42 and -36 that lasts for longer than 30ms, overwrite with room noise". Very straightforward, but for some reason audio is stuck in the stone age and such capabilities are apparently beyond mere mortals despite being, as I said, visible at a glance.
when i spliced out a breath and a bleep on top track, it wont play back, when it gets to that part its stalls and makes a loud sound like an amplifier buzzing, wont play anything past this glitch
Awesome thank you May I ask a stupid question I wanted to use my time to learn audacity while I waited for my mic and etc to come in. I cant hear anything or record anything with internal mic and speakers. I am choosing internal mic and speaks but it's not working.. Is it because I need plugins?
How can i remove breathing if the person recording someone else was the one breathing hard? So the hard breathing is happening the same time the other person is talking.
The short answer is no. This is why the engineer is usually behind a wall and 2 thick pieces of glass. You might want to try to use the noise reduction feature to see if that helps, but if it's happening when you're talking, you're probably better off re-recording. Hope that helps!
@@EliseConL0 hey Elise, Shame no-one has answered us. I sampled one of my breaths, then applied to entire audio to reduce their volume. Make sense? Decided not to completely remove breaths, just reduce their volume. Sounds much beter this way. Lmk if this helps.
It adds a bit of distortion but noise removal using a sound profile of about 4 seconds of silence causes the "room tone" to be nearly inaudible; subsequent editing to remove the breath noise is less noticeable.
I find that the click remover in Audacity isn't always the best. I would look at investing in the RX Elements bundle from iZotope. Their De-Click works really well!
I just reread your question and realized you were asking about an auto-delete of threshold for the breath reduction. There is a De-Breath plugin from Waves that is aimed at that, but I've had pretty varied success with it. I find that it's not the best tool. I wish there was a better answer!!
You can highlight, and hit ctrl+R. BUT! After doing this for hours, there's a 'Noise Gate' plugin that worked incredibly well. I still did this process of some of the loud inhalations.
First, thanks for this. Definitely the second approach is the way to go. I think you could have gone to -8 or so. This approach, I think, is also superior to noise gate, though more labour intensive.
Hi there, thanks for this, its certainly going to help with mr current editing. Another video has suggested Noise Gate. What are your experiences with this?
This is great when I have a very short recording, but any suggestions when I have a recording that is much longer, like 20 minutes or an hour long? I could go through and do this for every breath, but that takes a long time. Is there a way to capture the breath sound and squash all of them quickly?
@@allthings5070 I think I figured it out, but it's complicated, you have to zoom in and change the view, then all the breaths show up ... but you still have to edit each one out individually. :~(

The second method is the absolute best! Your tutorial is the first I've seen show this method. Thanks a bunch!!
thanks SO MUCH for being so quick and to the point and helpful. The second method saved me and worked so much better than the method I saw in a different video.
Thanks so much! I'm a new mac user and your advice on command L saved me today!!
Thank you! That was a perfect, concise and clear demonstration :)

Simple, effective, easy to understand!

You're really funny. I'm searching for the same thing though, I think there's a plugin call Noise gate that can actually do that for us in Audacity.
You're looking for noise gate.

Thanks! I didn't know about that 1st way before!
Awesome thank you
May I ask a stupid question
I wanted to use my time to learn audacity while I waited for my mic and etc to come in. I cant hear anything or record anything with internal mic and speakers. I am choosing internal mic and speaks but it's not working..
Is it because I need plugins?
I guess it was stupid
Sorry
Wow that worked like a charm, thanks a million
great video

Real Voice L.A. thanks for responding!
How do I get this copied to all breaths on track at once?
Anyone??
@@clarkhubanks5250 I'm dying waiting for this answer. I've been searching for 3 weeks and I just cannot figure it out.

The method I was using prior to watching this video is embarrassingly time consuming. Thanks.
best tutorial I found so far! nice video, that helped a lot
is there a way to just turn those breaths into room noise, because I still dont like the way using the amplify effect makes it sound.
It adds a bit of distortion but noise removal using a sound profile of about 4 seconds of silence causes the "room tone" to be nearly inaudible; subsequent editing to remove the breath noise is less noticeable.
Any ways to auto-delete or adjust threshold (such as Click Remover) to do this?

Well presented (thank you) but it does seem a little bit time consuming.

Thank youuuu so much 😍✨✨✨
thank u so much

Or you can copy and paste some room tone over the breath and get rid of it without dropping out all of the sound...
It is great.
I just tried. It really helped.
I need help so bad! I know nothing about audio equipment. Can I pay you to help do a set up over ZOOM???
