"richer, cleaner, and just overall crispier". nothing i love more than crispy audio

**UPDATE** Audacity has removed the Equalization Effect from the "Effects" list and relocated it under "Filter Curve". It is still there, just go Effects>Filter Curve to get the same result. Since KZread has taken down the notes for the video, when choosing the dB value for Noise Reduction, you need to set it above 0. The higher above 0dB, the more background noise you remove. However, keep in mind, the higher the dB value, the more of your audio that is tied to the background noise will be removed as well. Finding the right amount depends on the sample, so play around until you get the right fit!

Messing around with the decibels for the noise reduction is a must. I think it varies heavily depending on your mic and environment on what your noise reduction settings should be.

Great video, thanks mate! Needed this for a mix I'm creating. Don't know if there are other tricks you recommend for long music tracks.

Subscribed and realized that I downloaded Audacity to edit voices, but never used it to improve my sound. I'm having problems mostly with my outdoor recordings and wind noise on bike rides. I've been using voice enhance tool and small room filter on iMovie. Up until yesterday I thought this worked okay, but then I saw one of my video on my wife's computer with external (cheap) speaker. I sound like I'm inside an old drum or something. This could really turn off potential subscribers. Now I'm going to try separating the audio and running it through Audacity. Thanks for posting and all the best!

Along with being a lot of good, practical ways to make audio sound better in Audacity, and a few things I should have already known (Control+A= select all) it was a smart move using a bit of your speaking voice for an example. Anything with music would have distracted us😉

I’m a newbie, so this was hugely helpful. Thanks

Thank you!! Fantastic video, I gave it a like :)

Thank you so much for your clear explanations. I do feel like those steps would not be necessary if Audacity was great to begin with.

You got it man, read the pined comment I put up. Slight mixup in the recording and KZread removed the original comments you could put in videos.

Guys the old EQ effect has been split into two effect, the "Graphic EQ" and the "Filter Curve" effect. Both of these should be enabled by default. As you will see in the manual, the "Filter Curve" effect is pretty much the same as the "Draw" mode of the old EQ effect

I know I'm late to the game, and while the audio does sound much better (clear instead of sounding like you're in a box), it sounded a little jumpy. Is there a way to improve it so the speaking sounds a little smoother?

Thanks a lot!!!

Removing a bit of treble really helps too.

This is amazing. Thank you so much Wait... this software is free? OMG

Is there a DAW that records what is input such that there is no need to manipulate the original file after recording? I use to have no trouble with Audacity but recently, the recorded tracks sound like mud when played back.

Compressor evens out the peaks, more for clipping. Normalizing sets the dB range for your audio. So if you want +10dB more volume, normalizing will help with this

So I messed up on a recent recording; I forgot to change my settings before I started recording, so instead of recording sound from my audio mixer, I recorded from my computer's speakers. However, I had my mixer plugged in, so the playback on the audio comes across sounding muffled and distant. Is there any fix to this that you know of?

@MisterLiBRiUMz

6 жыл бұрын

If it's muffled and distant, there isn't much you can do. Increase the gain and do a noise removal if you can. That's the only thing I'd suggest.

For the equalization, what do you recommend for a female voice?

@MisterLiBRiUMz

6 жыл бұрын

It's difficult to provide an opinion for one size fits all, but essentially, i'd would personally suggest applying a high pass filter that's at approximately 80Hz and a boost for anything between 100Hz-300Hz, standard for most female voices. But these are just some general guidelines. The preferences are different per the user, so spend some time toying around with the curves and see what you feel sounds best. If you sound "thin" a boost is probably what you want. If you sound muddy, try cutting out anything from 300Hz to 500Hz. But, like I said, toy around with the settings and eventually you'll find what works best for your voice.

can you enhance the audio of music videos through this ?

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.....

You can bring .mp4 files into Audacity and it will pull the audio file to edit. You will need to however match it up with your video in your editing software as it will export to mp3 or whatever you want. Cannot bring in a video and export as video though. Theres an add-on you have to add to audacity to do this if I remember correctly. If you go on their webpage it tells you how

His original unedited recording is already miles ahead of mine. There’s no way that’s natural. He has to be using some sort of hardware or software on his microphone prior to the signal reaching Audacity. I wish he brought it up so I could do the same. It’s just as important to record good audio as it is to edit it.

@MisterLiBRiUMz

3 жыл бұрын

Nope, nothing special. The recordings in audacity were done in a quiet room with my laptop microphone! My voice over is done on my actual setup and edited similarly as in this video. But, you are right that the hardware you use plays a big role on how the audio will turn out.
