likely because you are using it as an insert rather than as an Audiosuite plugin, try going to the Audiosuite menu and selecting it from there

@@voice-overroadmap2323 Holy moly, you're right. Thanks for the tip!

@@FoolMeAgainIWillBelieveIt no prob!

Glad it's helpful!

No problem! Glad it was useful!

You might want to check out iZotope RX. It includes a "De-Click" module that helps reduce clicks in any part of the recorded speech - www.izotope.com/en/products/repair-and-edit/rx.html

Hey Craig, The expander/gate is actually the tool to do what you describe. That's the "Expander" portion of the plugin. What you are looking for is the "Ratio" setting, that will determine how much the signal is lowered when it falls below the threshold. Try playing around with that. Here's how AVID describes it "The Ratio control sets the amount of expansion. For example, if this is set to 2:1, it will lower signals below the threshold by one half. At higher ratio levels the Expander/Gate functions like a gate by cutting off signals that fall below the threshold" If the noise floor in your studio isn't low enough that you can use the tool as a gate without hearing a noticeable drop off, then it wouldn't be the proper use of the plugin, the best action in that case would be to either use the tool as an Expander, or lower the noise floor in your studio if possible. Hope this helps!

Voice-Over Roadmap Thanks, I’ll check it out.

No problem - another option to deal with these sorts of issues are tools like iZotope's RX suite, specifically the "Voice De-Noise" tool, you can check that out as well.

@@voice-overroadmap2323 Fortunately, I have a very quiet studio but I do every so often get audio from another place that needs to be cleaned up. Thanks for the help.

Thanks so much! All episodes are up on iTunes and Google Podcasts as well if you'd like to listen there.

No problem! Glad it helps!

No problem!

Hey Cybele, the software being used here is Pro Tools. But these techniques should be applicable in other software as well including Audacity. The deletion method will work in any software and if the click or noise is short enough, it should get the job done. You should also be able to use the pencil method in Audacity as well, there's more info on that here - manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_click_and_pop_removal_techniques.html

I'm on PT 11 here, and you do in fact need to zoom in pretty far to the waveform to make pencil edits. Are you referring to PT 12? It would be nice to be able to do pencil edits from a little further out, but chances are whatever you are editing is occurring in a pretty small span of time, so it makes sense to need to zoom in pretty close.

MichaelLangsnerMusic Hi, not familiar with what PT 11 or 12 means. I'm using the latest Audacity I think it's 2.2.2? And yes, I try to redraw a wave form where there's static fizz, and it takes forever zooming in & out, comparing, re-drawing, over & over.

Ah ok - PT is Pro Tools, which is the software I was using in this video

MichaelLangsnerMusic Ah! Somehow I missed that! Looks a lot like Audacity and this came up in search results.

MichaelLangsnerMusic I should delete my comment here. Thanks for your reply!

Thanks Kiasha! Glad you enjoyed it!

Voice-Over Roadmap, You’re Welcome! And, I am excited to learn more and implement what I’ve learned in the coming days and months as I start in this business.

No problem Erica! Glad it helped!

Thanks so much Jodi! More great guests coming up on new episodes soon!

No problem Stephanie! Thanks for listening!

Thanks Howard! Appreciate it

Hey Paul! What services were you referring to? Voice-Over or Audio editing/repair?

MBLMV Voice-Over audio editing mouth noises/click removals - perhaps you use the plaform Airgigs to provide this service?

Yup! we do provide audio repair and editing services, can definitely help you out. Shoot me an email at info@MBLMusicVoice.com and we can discuss further.

That's very true Perry - but there are ways around it to give yourself a safety net. If you do a Pencil edit on a piece of audio, it will apply it to every instance of that piece of audio, if you copied and pasted it on the same track, or if you duplicated the entire track with that audio on it. But if you make a mistake, you can always use the "Undo" feature to go back, and depending on your settings you can undo 10,15,20 times if you make a lot of pencil edits and then decide you don't want them. Another thing you can do, is before you start any pencil editing, export the file from your clip bin, or just bounce it out of Pro Tools without any processing, and name it something like "Audio File - Original Version" - then you can always re-import that back into your session if you need it because you made a mistake with your pencil edits.

Good advice. Thanks.

Thank you. I've done a great deal of pencil editing . . . maybe a hundred hours over ten years, and did not know that it was destructive. It had not created a problem for me (UNDO!) , but I also just got lucky. I'l work with copies going forward.

Thanks Tiara! Glad you enjoyed the video! Feel free to join our mailing list in the video description as well to stay up to date with all of our posts, tips, and lessons!
