I totally agree. This was so pleasant to watch. I am going to try it now! I have never used audition before, but this feature will be worth it for me.

[@FrameRater]

This is something I tried in the past and it never seems to do much. I guess it's good for removing loud, obvious clicks? But all the smaller things are still very much present and if you keep running the process your audio gets all tinny. Until something better comes around I'm still using the lasso and/or bandaid tool to remove it all manually.

[@HaBeFaStro]

Mike: This is a terrific tutorial on the use of the Adobe Audition declicker. I use the declicker in iZotope RX 8. Sometimes it doesn't capture all the clicks. The Adobe Audition declicker set in heavy reduction does a wonderful job, especially for stubborn clicks. Thanks for yet another invaluable tutorial.

Amazing tutorial thanks! I've tried creating a favourite out of the DeClicker to apply to 6000+ audio clips, but it doesn't seem to recognise this as a valid effect to create a favourite from, so just wondering if there's a work-around to DeClicker this many clips in one go? 😅

[@MikeRussell]

DeClicker needs to scan each audio file and you need to decide whether to do light or heavy restoration for each file.

[@tiamariebeverly]

Thanks for this. Super helpful. Is there a way to only apply the declicker to a portion of the track instead of the whole track?

[@MikeRussell]

You can just select the portion of audio you'd like to apply any effect to.

[@MotorsportChat]

Hi Mike, any chance you could do one of these videos for Audacity (if it's possible..)?

[@MikeRussell]

Look for clip removal under the effect menu in Audacity and it's quite similar

[@CuriosityVaultChannel]

I find that the Audition de clicker changes the sound of the VO drastically, so I have to transfer to Audacity to use a custom plugin I have there that seems to remove the clicks without changing the audio. Are there any really good 3rd party de click pluggins for Audition?

[@MikeRussell]

It's not something I've come across I'm afraid

[@leevidmar346]

I am on Audacity, manually removing clicks...I think I'll switch and save what little hair I have left. Thank you!

[@MikeRussell]

Audacity is a great piece of software but you’ll find Audition is a lot more powerful.

[@willjb89]

Your audio is so disturbingly clear, I cant explain it lol

[@MikeRussell]

Thanks

[@MotorsportChat]

Hi Mike - another question...should I use the declicker before or after I've applied my EQ and compressor effects? I feel like I can't hear them in the raw audio that well, even though they're obviously there, but once I have applied my EQ and compressor I can then hear the clicking much more. What's best practice? I use audacity.

[@MikeRussell]

I would suggest using it before, "repair" the audio before you go on to process it. EQ and compression may boost the imperfections in audio making it more difficult to remove.

[@MotorsportChat]

@@MikeRussell thanks Mike

[@thehwink]

I think it kind of works. I still hear it, but now there's a weird interference almost like an old mp3 sound to it. Also, what about the tongue clicks people do before they start a sentence? Thanks! Have enjoyed your videos, but haven't felt audition has got this one yet. close, but not quite there.

[@sidneycentioli3771]

Hello Mike! I´m from Brasil and I've just subscribed in your great channel. Could you tell how can I drag a piece of audio track precisely. For example to do this in Premiere I use ALT + Arrow. I'd appreciate your helping!

[@MikeRussell]

At the top of the window you'll find the snapping icon, which looks like a horseshoe. If you click this then you'll be able to snap precisely to locations in the waveform.

[@jerimijones7557]

Hey Mike, do you have any special tricks/plugins to reduce mouth noise aside from this declicker? I've used it before and there's still some work to be done afterwards. Your audio always sounds super clean. Maybe the mic I'm using makes a difference? (Condenser). Thanks for your videos!

[@MikeRussell]

Hi Jeremi. A condenser mic picks up every little bit of audio. The best advice I can give is to do all you can to eliminate them before recording. Avoid dairy products before recording is a good tip which works for most people and some people find eating an apple immediately before recording works too.
Once you’ve used the DeClicker you can then use spectral frequency and spot healing to remove any stubborn ones that creep through.

[@jerimijones7557]

@@MikeRussell thanks for the quick reply and tips!

[@MikeRussell]

You're welcome. Best of luck 👌

[@harshsingh6692]

a post production workflow to edit ambient and natural field recordings (stereo & binaural)and sfx would be great ?

Hey. Could you please help me decide between Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 Ohm and Sennheiser HD 599? I will use the headphones for games and music on my Pc at home only. Which one is better?

[@MikeRussell]

Hi Adi, it's totally a matter of personal preference. I use the DT 770 Pro on a daily basis is really all I can say.

[@eri7-11]

so if I use Adobe Audition I don't need Izotope, it can do it all?Like if you use Audacity or Studio One you need iZoptope for book narration. But Audition seems to have deClicker and healing tool so Izotope not needed?

[@MikeRussell]

Audition does come with a lot included but obviously your best practice would be to record avoiding clicks and other noises

[@mytestvideos8228]

Hi, great video. got a question though...Do you know of a way to mute every spike in an audio clip (60 mins long) that is, let's say 1/4 of a second long or whatever length you want. What's happening is, someone who is not talking (on their own audio clip) will make random sounds with their mouth or hit the mic or stuff like that. I just want it to be automated is all.

[@MikeRussell]

Mic positioning is key to ensure each mic only picks up it's user. Beyond that you could look at a noise gate as a way to remove noise bleed.

[@comment9874]

Thank you this is very helpful but for some reason sometimes some of my audio sounds a little fuzzy. Like most of it is okay but some parts are just a little fuzzy or even slightly distorted. Imo not a lot of people will notice but it still bugs me since it makes me sound like a robot for a bit lol

[@MikeRussell]

Was the audio recorded hot and perhaps has a little analogue clipping?

[@comment9874]

@@MikeRussell Not at all. Nowhere near clipping, tried a louder recording and a softer but still the same thing. I'm trying to find a fix for the past couple days now and hopefully I find it soon. I'll be updating if I ever find a fix just in case someone else has this issue

[@brandoncatz]

I've had the same issue with occasional distortion. I've replaced every component, minus my mic, to no avail. Going to swap out my SM7B with a backup Behringer soon. Were you able to resolve this on your end?

[@JonathanDano]

You can also run the declicker again and it will locate and fix even more it didn't get the first time

[@FrameRater]

I've found doing that can turn the audio very tinny

[@MikeRussell]

Try not to overuse any repair technique, the more you use them the greater the chance of a noticeable lessening of audio quality.

[@kselement]

This is great, but it distorts the audio and reduces the quality. Is there a better way?

[@MikeRussell]

You're right, the DeClicker effect can reduce audio quality if overused. A more precise method is selecting and removing clicks individually.

[@eri7-11]

If she recorded in Audacity or Studio One would it sound that much different?

[@MikeRussell]

The raw recording would sound no different.

[@marina.03.]

How can I remove a extra vocal in a song? Like you listening to a song and someone is talking over the song and you can't hear the song anymore. How can I remove this voice?

[@MikeRussell]

I’m afraid this would be well beyond vocal remove techniques.

[@marina.03.]

@@MikeRussell If you find one day a solution let us know, we are here ^-^

[@MikeRussell]

I’m not quite certain how you have a song with someone talking over it, but the way the technique works this won’t be possible.
It’s like trying to remove a single colour having mixed 20 colours in a paint tin.
