Nice tutorial! My favorite part was the quote you chose to repeat: "The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried." It makes learning Audition a bit more encouraging!
This has blown my mind! Thank you! I've attempted on many occasions to make my audio sound like butter in Audition from following YT tutorials, this is hands down the best one I've seen, awesome results. Thank you!
This video by itself propelled me into being able to use Audition really, really effectively. After watching I spent hours with various samples (Using this as a baseline) while experimenting with different settings and effects. The ones I couldn't figure out, or didn't understand their purpose, I researched. Getting started in the audio space can be incredibly daunting, I had watched other videos and attempted to do the research on my own but there were a lot of cases where people simple started by more or less jumping into the deep end and using terminology that people new to it, simply don't understand. Can't thank you enough for putting this together with that in mind - I can effectively tune my audio to produce the exact results I want, remove sounds I don't want, clean it up, EQ it effectively ( Whether that's simply adding Roll-off's or Passes or adding punch into the low-end of a voice, etc.) and more or less do whatever I see fit with any audio file I'm given/record. Just wanted to say I appreciate it. Thank you.
It's basically a radio audio compression (or TV commercial). If you were hearing radio and it went to commercial the processed audio is what you expect to hear while driving in your car or whatever. It doesn't sound "better" but it definitely sounds like standardized "best practice" sound, albeit a bit over-the-top to drive home the point. In a crowded room or driving in your car, the processed sound will be much clearer and easier to hear and understand.

Thanks. Maybe I'm going crazy, but it almost sounds like this is meant to make your voice sound deeper, crisper and while I appreciate that it may make my voice have some depth, I don't speak that deeply. lol It makes male voices sound more intense and I think it kind of makes mine not sound like me. Playing with the EQ part really helped though.
TNice tutorials is by far the best soft soft basic tutorial, I rember when I just started learning, tNice tutorials was so helpful!! I’ve now been releasing edm
Wow this was really helpful! I used to use a simple headset and Audacity for recording audio. I recently invested in a nice condenser microphone and started searching for tips on improving my recording quality. I have the full Adobe Suite package but never used Audition until I ran across this video. And wow I don't know why I haven't played around with this program sooner. 😆The difference in sound quality is night and day!
the very first thing one needs to make a great podcast/soundtrack, is a good voice!! yours is truly a great voice. Good for you sir. when I grow up, I want to have a tone of voice like yours
Great tutorial man! Thanks. I really wanted that overcompressed 80's CD loudness wars sound and I think I found it. I ended up with this favorite for my voiceovers: Amplitude and Compression->Single-band Compressor (-12dB?, 16x, 5ms, 50ms, 0dB) Filter and EQ->Parametric Equalizer->Loudness Maximizer-> 6dB@100Hz, 6dB@6000Hz Amplitude and Compression->Hard Limiter->Limit to -3dB Reverb->Reverb (700,10,1812,50) 95/5 dry/wet Amplitude and Compression->Normalize (-3dB)
Your narration skills are great, but I really question your EQ settings. I think your After is not really better than the before. I'd cut some of that low end and instead of a mid dip I'd play with a slight BOOST somewhere between 1K and 2K depending on your voice, for you probably down closer to 1K.
Thanks, Michael! You might be right about that. The lows are kicking a bit, probably too much. I love comments like this, we now know the tools and your input will be helpful in addition to what anybody can watch in the video. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, man! 🍻
No prob. I think when you find that mid-freq boost point you'll find you won't need to apply the normalization process so much. I think the multi-pass noise reduction is a pretty good idea too, but you could probably apply more than 10dB reduction on the first pass, especially if you hug the noiseprint a little more.
Mine keeps evolving, but currently, its: 1) Increase volume by 4-6db (because I found cleanup plugins like louder sound) 2) noise reduction. (Waves) 3) De-Ssseer (sibilance) 4) second noise reduction (CLEAR) 5) decrease volume by 2-3db 6) EQ 7) Compress at -20 Thresh, 2.5:1 ratio, 3db knee, 0 attk, 40 releas 8) Volume adjust 9) limiter to -3 Everything is really small adjustments, so I preserve as much of the original sound, but get rid of things I don't want. Unfortunately, I have to manually de-Click with the Spectral editor, because i haven't found a good one that doesn't make the sound a bit synthetic. Mouth clicks are my bane, currently. I will give your chain a try. Always willing to try something new. :)
Really solid information, man. The only detractor are the plosives I hear from you, because you are talking over the top of the mic as opposed to across on an angle. Just my two cents...
This was extremely valuable. So often these TH-cam tutorials are loaded with jargon, and executed far too fast to be of any use at all. Thank you for making a powerful unwieldy program somewhat tamer and user friendly.
Wow, this was EXACTLY what I needed for my new Podcast. I'm new to Adobe Audition and this was fantastic. Thank you so much for taking the time to record such an excellent tutorial and uploading this.
Fantastic job!! Thanks a bunch for not talking about your dog, what you ate for breakfast and what movie you watched last night. You got right to it. Thanks so much!!
Sophisticated techniques in a very simple and applicable manner ❤ Is there a chance you could have a tutorial to edit and master podcasts with background music? I am starting off my brand new podcast and I am sure your insights and experience will contribute to the quality of my work. Thank you very much for the great work you are doing 🙏
I'm also confused by this. His audio generally sounds pretty good, and I was hoping to see how he processes it, but the example he gives sounds terrible and not at all like normal.
99.9% of the time, it is the monitoring gear that fails to deliver the true and flat profile of the capture that leads the listener to failure in analyzing recognizing the true sound image. In short, replace your studio monitors or studio earphones for a better set. A good start is the Audio-Technica M-50x studio monitors.
So the fact that his audio typically sounds better, but just this one example sounds terrible, it's a failure of our equipment? No, try again. On a side note, I am listening to this through my M-50x's and everything else sounds just fine.
I feel like I robbed you of subscribing to your channel and even liking the video all this while, because I have come to re-watch this video over 6 times. But I finally did a Lannister, I paid my debt and subscribed, and liked this video as well. Thank you.
9:51 I understand this is not meant to be a super in depth tutorial that goes into every single aspect of what you're doing, but the Dynamics Processing effect is a bit confusing to me, and I was hoping you (or somebody) could elaborate a tad on what is happening there. Great video though and it'll help get me started! Thanks!
wow excellent tutorial. Im a huge fan of your Photoshop tutorials and have also won international awards in photography competitions and this one is an awesome tutorials.
perfect tutvid your tip and trick is excellent everyday I try my voice over in audition today I watched your video and follow your process and done my voice is studio like thank you so much
Can this same process also be applied to music? Like piano? If not, can you suggest and help this brother out? I'm a little frustrated not being able to figure out out😫. Mahalo much in advance!
Following the process in this tutorial made my AT2020USB sound a lot nicer than using the contorted workflows in many of the other Audition tutorials out there. I did have to tone down the V shape in the parametic EQ and add a second pass of compression. Now my voice sounds perfect. Thanks!
3:00 Light noise reduction
4:10 Normalize audio
4:50 Light noise reduction
5:28 Compress the audio
6:43 EQ
8:16 Normalize audio
9:06 End note
thanksh
Thank you because I'm impatient
Thank you very much kind sir! 🎩
thanks
@tutvid should definitely add this at the end of his description to split the timeline into segments
your live talk is much much better, much more natural then what you present us after all your editing operations!
Agree

probably the simplest, no bullshit, straight to the goddamn point video about how to use audition. thank you sir.

your before sounds kinda better than after lmao
lol 😂

Armature church production/media person for my church. You really don't know how much this helped me. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Glad it helped you out!

Each time I install my Audio Audition, I usually see this video and fix my voice normalisation process..great indeed...thanks
Wow the difference is amazing! THANK YOU!
12 minutes of pure gold - so much useful information - thanks a lot!
it's an amazing episode, thanks for you help after 6 years ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Although you are on a right path, i think it´s a norm for broadcast type settings
@@tutvid sir I used the settings according to what u say but my sound seems inaudible

very great lesson, thanks)
it really improve my audio
Glad it helped you out!
Thank You, can you please make a video on how to apply the same effects (noise removal, normalizing, eq....) in the Final Cut Pro
That's wild narration there, thanks!
Really nice job. I did so stuff with MIDI/DAW/soft banks wayyy back in like 99/00 in college and was ok at it. I bought soft soft last
Very useful, and I now also see the real value of a pop filter.
First time using Audition and this worked a lot. Thanks!
Really solid information, man. The only detractor are the plosives I hear from you, because you are talking over the top of the mic as opposed to across on an angle. Just my two cents...
oh man thank you so much. you really saved my flat zoom recording with that EQ
This was extremely valuable. So often these TH-cam tutorials are loaded with jargon, and executed far too fast to be of any use at all. Thank you for making a powerful unwieldy program somewhat tamer and user friendly.
i've been ssing around on a friends soft soft for years, finally bought it. I found your videos and instantly subscribed and have been

Fantastic job!! Thanks a bunch for not talking about your dog, what you ate for breakfast and what movie you watched last night. You got right to it. Thanks so much!!
Thank you for the Playlist. At least I have lessons being learned in order. Focus guaranteed. Thankyou. Great work Sir. Michael.
The best audition tutorial I have seen. Cheers bro!!

Is there a chance you could have a tutorial to edit and master podcasts with background music?
I am starting off my brand new podcast and I am sure your insights and experience will contribute to the quality of my work.
Thank you very much for the great work you are doing 🙏
Hey man im a podcaster, my skills are in video editing and not audio. I really appreciate this video! it helped me out a lot!
Then why are you in podcasting lol. P.s. this was a joke no hate.
My god, everything sounds so much better now! i used to eq in Ableton, but it sounds way better in Adobe, im stunned! thanks man!
How is the after worse than the before???

Im wearing some studio headphones and there is a drastic difference. great tutorial!@@DavidRFIT
Thanks bro, awesome tutorial 🔥🔥🔥
Love your stuff! Big help!
Great video mate! I learned so much!!!
Awesome video and so well explained
That's some sweet audio. Wish I could get this over some gameplay. I'm convince in getting audition.
Muchas gracias estimado, excelente explicación. Me funcionó perfectamente
I feel like I robbed you of subscribing to your channel and even liking the video all this while, because I have come to re-watch this video over 6 times. But I finally did a Lannister, I paid my debt and subscribed, and liked this video as well. Thank you.
This video really helped me out. Thumbs up!
Very helpful video. Thank you for putting this video together.
Great video Nathaniel, thanks once again

Helped a lot for Freelancing 👌
Took notes of the whole process! Youre a lengend bro!
I learn so much from you. Thank you.
Just found this video. Been watching you since your were making Adobe Flash videos. Top notch as always. Thanks.
wow, it really works! thanks for the help, bro
Great video! Super helpful
So great man, it's working fine!
wow excellent tutorial. Im a huge fan of your Photoshop tutorials and have also won international awards in photography competitions and this one is an awesome tutorials.
well done bro, i am very happy and excited to watch this fantastic tutorial. thanks a lot. keep going on
just amazing...it turned the table
First time I hear you, and gotta say:
I love your voice
MAKE AN AUDIO BOOK!
Excellent presentation...Top Flight!
Thank you so much bro, your tutorial worked, keep going!!!
Best video about the audition must watch ✌️👍😎
I never adjust anything but breath removal. Keeping the voice natural will be much better. My devices are MXL 990 and 2i2 Focus. Gen. 3rd.
perfect tutvid your tip and trick is excellent everyday I try my voice over in audition today I watched your video and follow your process and done my voice is studio like thank you so much
Thank you for this video! It's a great help.
Thank you. Amongst other things I leaned the Favorite recorder.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful and easy to follow instructions
I watched it 3 times and get everything you said, thank you so much!!
Very helpful. Now I have a basic idea of how to process my voice. Thanks!
result are amazing , thanks
Gracias por el video, bro. Funciona de forma excelente.
Can this same process also be applied to music? Like piano? If not, can you suggest and help this brother out? I'm a little frustrated not being able to figure out out😫. Mahalo much in advance!
