    This was super helpful! Thank you! Audio is the one thing that I want to get just perfect since I think its the number one thing that turns people off when watching videos. Would you suggest compressing and normalizing as well? Your video got posted to Reddit/letsplay and so far its been met with a lot of approval. If you did a video on how to do the Game Grumps EQ settings in Adobe Audition it would be getting SO MANY VIEWS! Their lets play quality is perfect for voice overs. Also take a sub because I love learning about this stuff.

    Thanks for the words of encouragement! I didn't know my video was posted to a thread on Reddit - I'm glad people are finding it to be helpful. As for Normalizing and Compressing...it's certainly not a bad idea to do it. Compressing is a lot more effective than normalizing, but if you've done a good job with your mic setup to begin with, EQ is the most effective tool.

    +YouGotJuno It probably doesn't matter. Both file types are "lossy", meaning they get compressed to reduce file size and experience just slight loss of quality. MP3 is more common, so maybe just roll with that. Hope this helps.

I watched this and I never manually messed with eqing before. I use adobe after effects and messed around with a parametric equalizer and it brought my voice from almost and unbareable sound to perfect video quality!

    @xaosnox9 жыл бұрын

    Just the info I was looking to learn. I have to say, I think the EQed track sounded a bit too thin to me, but I am listening on earbuds, so that could explain it. That 1K Hz dip was the golden nugget of info for me. I love it! My voice is more in the John B. Well or Don LaFontaine range when I do spoken word (only done trailers and bumpers before), but I don't know how well that will work for the audiobook projects I'm starting. Can't decide whether to accentuate the depth or minimize it. I've got a wide range of styles I can do, but I would love to get your feedback at some point once I get to the recording stage. Maybe it would provide some value to your subscribers to use my experiments as examples. I've never tried to be my own director/producer/engineer before, and I'm really looking forward to it. I really appreciate your tips on Audacity. I've been teetering between using it or GarageBand, and would like to use Audacity, but my only experience is with Cubase and GarageBand. Cubase was totally intuitive at the time I was using it (15 years ago!), because it was just like using real gear, which I was used to from the days when singing in a16 track studio was a dream come true! I was a little intimidated by Audacity's interface at first, but just seeing the few tips you've shared in your videos has broken the ice. I am so grateful for your videos, and your sense of humor is just my style. Keep it up, please!

    Do you guys know how to stop the blue snowball ice from creating distortions. The distortion happens randomly. For example, There is no distortion when i first start talking. Then in the middle of the audio recording it will distort for however long a sentence is. Then goes back to normal. To visualize the distorting it will distort how long a sentence is. For example, I like my cat will distort, but the sentence after that will have no distortions.

    Hello. I created a channel that focuses on splitscreen/social gaming, and as such, it involves multiple people playing at the same time. We play on the Nintendo Wii and Xbox One. We recently upgraded from recording with a mobile device to ElGato for the Xbox One vids. So far, so good. Of course, since it wasn't a matter of just plugging our headsets to our controllers for our voices to be heard on the vids, we are now searching for ways to continue doing commentaries. Feels doing so after recording (adding voice to an already made vid as opposed to recording and speaking at the same time) is the better for us. Seems this Audacity program is the tool to accomplish that. You are to first person on KZread to whom we talk too. Can you point us in the right direction? In the mean time, we will continue with our search. Thanks in advance.

    Informative for very early voice-over work buuut USB mics aren't exactly what a professional-client is looking for. Pop filter, a sock? sure maybe, but if you really want to spend money on something it should be the audio equipment, and it's not like a foam pop filter is gonna take your entire budget. All the editing tips are well done though and i'm sure will help any beginner

    I wanted this to help, I really did, but my problem is, even when I do all the steps on how to record good audio, my audio sounds stuffy, like a phone call. When people make these tutorials, they have crisp, clear sounding audio as the clip to "fix". That doesn't help me at all. I need an example of how to change the audio quality I have, to one that sounds good. I don't know how to improve my audio when the example you have sounds 10 times better than what I have. I don't know what to do anymore... I bought a high-quality microphone, it has a studio pop filter, I have the quietest room in my house, and I even go the extra mile, and put my mic stand on a towel, even though it's on the carpet. I don't know what to do anymore. Im sorry for venting, because this was still kinda helpful but, this was kinda the straw that broke the camels back. This isn't aimed at you. It's just me venting my frustration...

    No, I'm sorry, but that's completely wrong. The boomingness was not from too much bass. It was from your voice bouncing off the walls of your room. In other words, it was room noise. There's an effect for that. Record 5 seconds of room noise without you saying anything, just the room. Click Effects, go to Noise Reduction, click Get Noise Profile button, then select the track you want to remove the noise from, then go to effects Noise Reduction again, and click OK.Then all the room noise will be gone. Then, you need to go to equalisation, then boost bass, boost treble, then in effects click Normaise (3 dB workds great), in effects again, click Compressor (Threshold -30dB, Noise Floor -50dB, Ratio 5:1 Attack Time 0.10secs, Release time 1.0 secs. Make sure both tick boxes are selected). Then back to effects/normalise again (3dB). Then make any adjustments to your pitch. That's professionals do it. What you did is the exact opposite of what you should do.

    +NeonsStyle Okay, let's get a few things clear - The boomingness WAS from too much bass, which can be caused by the room, the mic, your proximity to the mic, etc. etc. I MADE that vocal track boomy in the first place by boosting it with EQ. Yep, I made the demo track sound like crap on purpose for this video to illustrate a point of how to EQ vocals if your track is too boomy, and to just show how to use EQ in general. No point making a video on how to get a good sound if the sound I'm working with sounds great to begin with. Point is, every track is going to sound different so there isn't a cookie cutter EQ move for all. Any professional will tell you that. If a "professional" is telling you to follow an EQ or compression move exactly, then they don't know what they're talking about. And I am very well aware of the Noise Reduction effect in Audacity - I made a video going step by step through how to reduce white noise with that effect. But removing white noise will not inherently get rid of bass. And there is not a cookie cutter solution for how to use compression. (it would be nice, but it simply doesn't work that way!) For example, setting the threshold at "-30" means nothing if your audio is either really quiet or really loud - threshold simply adjusts when the compressor will kick in relative to the volume of the source audio. And a 5:1 ratio is SUPER high for mild compression, you typically don't need that much compression if you've recorded your vocal properly. You'd get way too much gain reduction and a really squashed, unnatrual sound. But again, that depends on the source audio. At times, a 5:1 ratio might be good - but it depends entirely on what you're dealing with. And to be frank, the compressor in Audacity doesn't work all that well. Basically - professionals do what sounds good - they don't just use a bunch of presets on their compressors and EQs and do the same thing for every track.

    +NeonsStyle Well, when you say "You're completely wrong" and "You did the exact opposite of what you should do" it isn't the most credible way to start offering a suggestion. Especially if the suggestion is along the lines of "I'm right. You're wrong. Here's how to do it". There's multiple ways to do this. It's very situational. This is audio mixing, after all. Not multiplication or addition where there's only one correct answer. Imagine if I were to comment on one of your Minecraft videos and say "Sorry dude, but you're playing this game COMPLETELY wrong. You're doing the exact opposite of what all the highly viewed KZreadrs are doing. Let me tell you exactly what you need to do..." How ignorant would that sound? How confrontational would that sound? No suggestion that I would have would even have any credibility. You probably agree that there's no exact way to play Minecraft, everything is situational and up to the creativity of the gamer. There might be tips and tricks but certainly no "One Size Fits All, Everyone Else Is Completely Wrong" solution. Sorry for the rant, there's just so much misleading info out there on how to mix audio and it seems you've stumbled into some of it. Again, your suggestions might be right in some situations, but what I explain in this video is certainly not "wrong" or "the exact opposite of what I should do."

    C-Threep If you were to say that on one of my videos, I'd just say "LOL thanks for the comment". Going off at one of your subscribers is counter productive, as you should well know. Also nothing in my comment was personally negative. I just said it was wrong. No I still disagree with you on the audio issue. However that's a moot point in my view because we will never agree on that. However going off in a rant at someone who disagrees with you is not very productive for your channel, and especially going off at a subscriber. This is not just between you and I. What must your other subscribers think when they see this conversation? "I'm not going to make any suggestions if I get this sort of response from him". It's like shooting yourself in the foot. It's also a complete over reaction. If it'd been me, I'd have just said "I disagree, but hey we're all different. Have a great day." So I'm done with this now, so have a great day and don't fly off the handle at one of ur subs again.

    +NeonsStyle Okay dude, have a great night (I mean that, by the way, no ill will). But....why didn't you just say "I disagree, but hey we're all different. Have a nice day" as your first comment? LOL. Telling someone that they're doing it completely wrong and then proceeding to explain the one and only right way of doing it isn't really a "suggestion". I welcome suggestions on my videos, I often ask you guys to leave a comment or suggestion or feedback at the end of my videos. I enjoy discussions. I don't know everything. Some of my subs have 20 more years of experience than I do. I love it. I just don't know what I did that is the exact opposite of what I should have done. Seriously curious. Instead of speaking close to the mic are we actually supposed to be sitting far away from the mic? I mean if that's how you feel then, okay, but you didn't even mention that or explain why that would be a good idea. And regarding EQ, in the video I said that we should either reduce the bass or boost it depending on what our audio sounds like. I happened to be giving an example of a situation in which you should reduce the bass. If you actually disagree with something then please explain what you disagree with rather than saying that I did it completely wrong and then rattling off a bunch of EQ and compression parameters that don't affect any two pieces of audio in the same way. Honestly man, I'm not trying to be confrontational.
