2. Compressor (-15 to -18)
3. Equlizer (Curve to Bass Boost)
4. Repeat Step 3 with Treble Boost
5. Hard Limiter (-3.0)
6. Normalize
Thanks fam
+My Little System thanks fam
Harry Also Uelises yeet
+TechSnatcher [Gaming] add the mic distance (1feet (no idea how much is that)). i found it important.
why I don't have noise removal but I just have noise reduction
Equalization effect is now Filter Curve EQ.
Thanks
thanks man
Thanks dude you helped me alot
Thanks man
Tired of background noise? Drape a thick blanket over yourself and the mic while recording. You will LOOK stupid, but nobody is going to _SEE_ you on a audio recording, and it is the closest thing to having a "Dead room" (no echo from walls, background noise, etc). Also make sure you are on carpet or a rug, the floor can really reflect your voice as well. Hope this helps everyone. - Kevin
+Clear Adventure thx
+Clear Adventure Just sit on the bed with a blanket
Jacob Brown Yes, that will help also. Maybe not as well as shag carpet though. We need to create a world of "Surface area". A bedsheet is flat, a shag carpet has a million fibers more sticking out. That creates more surface area for the sound to get "Lost in". Similar to the blanket. But better than a hard srfaced chair, good call.
By the way, it doesn't necessarily get rid of the background noise, but it will make a huge difference on the echo
+Clear Adventure How about putting a couple socks over your mic?
1. Change noise profile
2. Echo- 0.1, 0.1 (This can add an extra flavor)
3. Compressor, threshold (-15 to -20; suggestive -18)
4. Equalization, Bass boost, select default
5. Equalization, Treble boost, select default
6. Hard limiter, (-0.2 to -0.5; suggestive -0.4)
Thanks for such a good voice suggestion...
how to get that raspy bassy voice he has.. i have heard it in all good channels. any technique in audacity to do that?
I was actually a beginner dont know about the world of audacity i tried many recomendation on how they edit.. and i tried your and i want to say thank you.. your recomendation is the best 🤗
This echo values make it sound like reverb. Not really good for a tutorial sort of VO.
Finally, a person who really sounds clear while teaching you how to make voice clear!
+All About Science thanks lol!
Lmao
These tutorials from this channel kickstarted my life as a multimedia artist back in like 2014
This is great. I have a voice that sounds like a sparrow being strangled. With this trick I sound like a butch sparrow.
Thanks for posting. works well.
Lol
In general, Bass Boosting and Treble boosting is decent, but the defaults are WAY over the top.You should never do it over 6 db generally unless something went really wrong with the recording.
Doing it to 9 db like here is overkill and pretty much makes it noticeable that you're modifying your voice - it gives the slight automoton-like ring to it in the background.
The other contributing component is when you treble boost that much, you get all those spikes that you have to hard-limiter. Hard-limiters distort audio quality. So if you can avoid creating huge spikes with treble boosting, you can probably avoid using the hard limiter altogether.
These steps are good, I would just say play around with lesser emphasis on the bass/treble-boosting 'till it sounds better.
Thank you for your guide! I'm also using the Blue Yeti and this has definitely improved my audio quality.
Hi im your first commentor and liker 😃
Can I Get A Shout Out PLEASE?!!
09SKYFROST it doesn’t work like that
@@gamingvortex5333 ....
ProjectJamesify if I could suggest another tip to make your audio sound even more professional...get a microphone that’s better than the Blue Yeti! No honestly Blue Yeti are USB which are horrible, so invest in an XLR mic then you’d have tip top audio.
hi james i love your vid i subed and i hit the notification bell bet you wont reply
is there an effect for people who hate their voice LOL
xD
The remove everything button
Yes. It's called "No Mic" and it's available anywhere microphones aren't sold.
Yrah its called fiverr
Select all + ctrl + x
this just saved my voice overs, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! subscribe!
hey i know you
Raphael Gomes Omg! You’re my favourite youtuber. 😀
Raphael Gomes I used to watch u
Hey Rapha! Big fan of your videos!
OMG RAPH
Anyone watching in 2017, Noise Remover has been removed (heh heh) and was replaced with Noise Reduction. I've personally found it easier to just select unwanted noise>generate>silence in lieu of the new Noise Reduction feature.
Great video, mate.
when u have a headset and ur only an inch away XD
SAME
Position your mic lower than your chin with your mouth all the way open. It helps avoid breathing noise and pops from 'p's, 'b's, and 'd's.
But then how do I record with multiple people in the room?
Definitely 'like' for this tutorial! Just one note: I wouldn't be so enthusiastic about "bass boost" - your voice become *not deep*, but like you're speaking from a barrel. It's different thing! "Natural" deep voice is not just "big bass", but a whole tembre and "harmonized" with other tones. It's a big theory!
Compare button:
Before 2:05 | After 5:14
Elie do u hear a difference?
no
It sounds the same lmao
Same the same
bruh it sounds the same because he probably ran the video through this too and didnt leave that part untouched, therefore, we cannot hear the unedited recording
i know this upload is yearssssssssssss old but you just helped me out a lot and i wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH! Im new to music and YT and all that stuff and you just helped me learn so much more with audacity. 🙏
it distorts my voice and makes it sound really metallic
+GamingGrub15 the noise reducer is really aggressive. Try putting the bar at the lowest setting.
Just wanted to say thanks, I use this for my podcast every week and follow these steps. I know nothing about sound editing, so it's perfect and my voice sounds good.
Sorry this is a dumb question but what mic do you use?
FolmonGaming Blue Yeti my good sir!
*****
Thanks ☺
***** I have the same mic but if I keep a distance away and turn up the gain the background noise overpowers the voice.
I have eliminated some of it by placing the Yeti on a mouse mat, but you can still hear my computer fan, keyboard and mouse.
When removing the background noise the audio seems to sound quite tinny.
I do have a pop filter attached to the mic and it does remove the popping sounds effectively.
The main question is, do you think my recording environment is reducing quality?
I record in a small room with rough surfaced walls, maybe if I drape a blanket etc. over the opposite wall and the door then some of the horrible echos should be removed? (I don't want to invest in acoustic foam if it doesn't work for my situation)
*****
NdM HD put it behind your moniter
This is really improved the mixing of my covers so much!
I uploaded my first cover last week and it was really bad! the volume goes louder at some point then does softer again.
My friends are even shocked by the improvement I made in a week!
THANK YOU!
Couldn't tell a difference tbh but good vid.
Because he does this on his videos. Raw sounds with this technique works very well.
His mic is mid-range being the Blue Yeti. I use Rode NT-USB which is slightly higher quality but its mostly dependent on your environment and background noises.
Talking close up to your microphone sounds is by far the best way. After audio processing, it sounds likes professional quality.
is there a way i can simply save all the settings that were done so that I don't have to repeat each step over and over?
+JacobSnakeUp You can create "chains". File -> Edit Chains to create them, File -> Edit Chains to apply.
***** nice! thank you so much.
hi Jacob check out audacityflex.com this will be very helpful and you also get 100 super kool sound effects
Thank you so much for this. I am recording old sermons for my husband for father's day from cassettes and have no idea how to use Audacity.
I can't find hard limiter :/
Same
ChrillisML I found you can use the Limiter effect, and change to top setting from soft to hard and it works the same :)
Yeah I found that out too, thank you though :)
there is no limiter and hard limiter in mac version?? please help what should i do??
It's just called limiter on my version. "hard" is a setting within it.
Thanks! I've been using Audacity for a while, but I hadn't used all of the steps in your list. Much improved, and my recording was done with a pretty low-rent condenser shotgun mike in my office with ventilation noise and ambient noise through the wall and a vent from a staff lounge next door. I'm pretty happy with the results.
wish i saw this years ago, would have saved so much time...
This tutorial really helped me produce a professional sounding interview for my college audio class project. Thank you for going at a decent pace which was easy for me to follow along.
Very useful audactity information here for all youtubers, thanks a lot!
Your audacity tutorial helps me a lot. I keep referring to if for quality sounds in my videos. Thank you
what if my face is ugly? will my voice still sound okay??? idk :/
+Levi Barros your fucking dumb
Levi Barros what
Jakub Wasz eh?
Levi Barros what does that insult mean?
Jakub Wasz not insult, term of a thing, it can be. O_o hey
Holy cow! This really improved the quality of the audio recording! I still need to see how it works on our longer duration recordings, but man, what a difference! Thanks!
Thank you so much! This helps me not sound like a 12 year old! YAY!
haha
DownToJack ikr xD
how old are you?
ha
Wow, I'm impressed, you provided all the info related with your PC/Laptop in the description, that's quite rare here on RUclips. Good Work!
This is basically the same as Pico210's tutorial.
They are very similar aren't they? that's because these are very generic rules for improving your voice quality, pretty much everyone does them on RUclips.
***** I know dude, I use them :D
+Queen Bitch KaNoMiko did pico terminate his youtube channel?
+Pico210 What happened to your channel?
Instead of using equalizer to make your voice sound deeper you can also go to effects and than pitch and the scroll button on the new tab if you go into the negative range your voice will sound deeper. I hope this helps
i dont have hard limiter
scroll all the way down
Me neither actually.
Effects > Limiter ... on PC
Go to Effects, then limiter then there should be a dropdown menu it's set to soft limiter at first.
I dont have that either
This is a recipe for someone who doesn't understand what he is doing but somehow he did it .. I can't believe how beautiful the result is .. this is the greatest straight forward answer I ever got to a question... Thank you!
You're very welcome :)
How tf did u record this then?
Obs
This helped me out a lot! I make covers for songs using the UTAU program and I just could never seem how to "amplify" my voice without it sounding like it was going to blow the speakers. Thank you so much!!
I don't have "Hard Limiter..."
Go to effect, click limiter, when the box appear the first thing you will see is soft limiter, click the soft limiter and the hard limiter will appear.
It changed to Effect > Limiter and then in the top dropdown you can select "hard limiter" within the popup.
I know this is old, but I just tried out these techniques using the crappiest microphone I could find (which is an inline cord mike attached to a super crappy pair of pc headphones) and I could not believe that I was almost able to make my voice sound good enough for commentary or podcast. (I say almost because it still sounded a bit weird, but all in all, it was totally transformed from the original, and all in a good way) Thanks for the info!
I'm not going to lye this really helped
lie you might want to seek some help in your spelling
Lyers go to heill
Cyrus Papa Why so serious?
I'm trying this! Thank you so much! I'm always pressed for time and this isn't hard to do at all!
there is no hard limiter for me
found it in limiter
Glad you wrote that!
:)
These are good tips...been using aduacity for YEARS, and didn't know anything ast the 3:00 mark, just used it for noise cancellation..but just purchased a blue yeti snowball for $50 and look forward to making some videos with better quality..will save this one for sure
mine doesnt have hard limiter :(
Same if you see this King Tuts pro please reply :)
Also Great vid! Top notch quality :D
Never mind if you go into the normal limiter there is a soft and hard limiter option :)
its under the name limiter!
A lot of people are complaining about making you sound distorted and stuff, I played around with it for a bit and DO NOT do a treble boost . The treble boost makes your voice sound extremely distorted.
who is here even before downloading audacity
NICE. Thanks a bunch, these steps really improved my voice-over quality for my videos.
"Works on both on Mac and Windows"
rip linux xd
Heh yeah, it's developed on Linux first, the other versions are just ports.
Gigs Taggart Oh, okay.
This video is the difference between success and failure for me. Thank you so much for making it. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you for this tutorial, it has made my voice louder and clearer! This was a very simple tutorial to follow through, I applaud you for that.
It's been 4 years yet this still helps me. Thanks @KingTutsPro!
AWE. SOME.
Hey man, this IS awesome! I downloaded audacity on my mac last year, but haven't used it much or figured it out. YOUR explanations are TOP NOTCH, simple, and easy to understand!
Next time I'm working on anything audio related, I'm going to refer myself back to THIS tutorial and follow along.
So grateful for the exceptional work you do! Really appreciated 😊❤👍
I have been using this for a few years now. I wanted to look for improvements. The compress and hardlimiter were two items I never use. Thanks for this information. Will try and test out.
solid tutorial. this gives you the gist of basic voice recording enhancement.
Ok i have a few critical remarks to this tutorial.
1.) You have clipped peaks which means your audio material crushes against the upper boundaries of the possible dynamic range. Which causes distortion and clipped peaks are not really pleasant to listen to. Activate "Show clipping"" in your Options (can be found at the "View" tab) and you see what i mean (It was clearly audible in this demonstration). When you boost your audio, keep that in mind.
When you record digital you can easily afford to record at low volumes and then boost the sound and add compressor to get it right without having it crushing against the maximum decibel boundaries. It would be different if you would record analog and wanna keep the audio above the noisefloor of the tape.
2.) Compressor and Limiter should be used in a moderate manner. Otherwise you create an ear-exhausting "pumping" effect where you have hardly any transients (quiet parts) and everything that is quiet gets boosted up. It has a very negative effect on the human ear.
3.) Noise reduction is not always needed and should really only be used if the material is WAY too noisy. Use it in moderation and just slightly because every noise reduction has flaws and it's never really possible without a loss in audio fidelity. You also get some nasty artifacts in the audio which sounds a lot like MP3 compression artifacts.
KRAFTWERK2K6 ...what would be the best post processing effects? As a woman, just normalize? Or once audio is recorded, set a limter and then normalize? Also what settings should I use? My limiter has a -3db setting and normalize -1db. Thanks in advance.
Bro I know im late on this video but OMG this helped me so much, this has like completely changed my outlook on my audio techica AT2020 because i noticed it picking up my fam from my PC and this has changed the game plan bro so THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I rewatch this video every time I edit an audio. Great work, thanks
Wish I knew about these tips AGES ago! I mean, I knew about the Noise Removal sure, but the rest is pretty new to me! I'll have to play around with these a bit first though, make sure that it won't cause any unintended effects to my editing process.
Thanks for this great tutorial! I recently got myself a new pc and the voice overs sounded different then before on my laptop. But now thanks to you, the background noises are gone and the volume is better. :)
This is really helpful!
Now I can have better quallity on my talking in my videos! I couldn't have that befor but now I can!
Shut up
+Jackin Jaws That's what you should do
Dude sounds like a bad commericial above. lol Ill do whatever the fuck is necessary.
I am so happy you posted this man! I hope you don't mind, I'm going to record vocals for my song and post a comment with the link once I finish using your techniques. Have a great one you've just done me a service, thanks again.
this was incredibly helpful for my guitar tutorial channel. thank you!
thank you for explaining what each step does not like other tutorial. thumbs-up!
Out of all the Tutorials on YT, u where the one that helped me the most. Thank u, ^^ !
Keep about 30cm away from mic.
NOISE REMOVAL:
Wait approx 5 secs before starting recording, and 3 secs after recording.
This allows you to get rid of background noise:
Highlight empty space.
Effect > Noise Removal > Get Noise Profile
Select entire track.
Effect > Repeat Noise Removal
COMPRESSOR:
Effect > Compressor
Put threshold at about -18.
BASS BOOST:
Effects > Equalization
Select curve: Bass Boost
TREBLE BOOST:
Effects > Equalization
Select curve: Treble Boost
HARD LIMITER:
Makes sound come through at a level volume.
Effect > Hard Limiter
dB limit: between -2 and -5; tweak to preference using preview.
NORMALIZE:
Effect > Normalize > OK
Makes voice louder.
Did this for my college work, so I thought I may as well comment it as well.
Great tutorial, it's a quite easy process. Good job!
Wow... Thanks man. This is incredible. The difference is so big, it's still my voice but it's completely different and better at the same time.
A STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE
1)noice profile select and apply to all
2)effects compressor -18 nd compress
3)effects>equalisation> add base boost
4)effects>equalisation>treble boost
5)effects>hard limiter>-4
6)effects>apply defults
A very good lesson. Short but full of useful info. Thanks and hats off to you.
I have been struggling a lot to get a good voice sound while making the videos, and then I saw this video. Thank you so much! :)
Excellent job explaining the working of the audio tools! Used to be we bought accessories to do this such as a FBE w a compressor and EQ built in. Wow; GREAT JOB! Thx.
Holy, goodness. This video maybe old, but there's a reason it's still good. Very helpfull dude, don't have to go editing the crap out of my audio anymore. Thanks!
A good explanation of noise removal and voice improvement.
i use these techniques on all my videos. any feed back is welcome
Hey man. Been looking up a lot of these tutorials, but yours is the easiest and clearest. Thanks!
Bass boost doesn't make anyone's voice sound "deep and manly," it simply amplifies the lower existing frequency range of the human voice. This is just as complimentary for a female voice as it is for a male voice.
Thank you for the tutorial! It helped boost my microphone volume to the levels I needed and gave my voice that professional sound. Thank you!
Thank you so much dude, this actually worked miracles for my crappy headset microphone. It made me sound like all whispery and soft but thanks to you I can fix it now! Awesome work bro!
Nice tutorial. Clear and easy to understand. maybe it will help me to get there soon.
Very good tutorial. This is one of the best Audacity tutorials that I know!
Nice, but didn't like the "hard limit" because it IS clipping but levelled on -1dB. As a second, compression is a plague in audio. Everyone uses it like glutamate to "power up" everything. Best idea in workflow was noise reduction from the beginning, because some "experts" would have compressed that noise (and treble) too.
Hi. I havve a quetions plz. You app looks different than mine. What version do you use, please answer. Thanks
Thanks a ton for this tutorial! I'm definitely going to have to save this tutorial to my playlists so I can access it later; no way I'm going to memorize it all at once. Thanks again!
Thanks a ton for this, I've had my channel for a while and a darn good mic that I invested in but my audio mixing skills have been non-existent for far too long.
Really appreciate it! :D
Thank you so much! I've been looking to find out how to make my voice recordings sound, like, fuller and richer for quite a while now.
i seriously almost watch this video every time i forget these simple steps, thank you!
Can you do an update version to this? I think things have changed in Audacity, thanks! Great vid!
Outstanding tutorial! Great step by step. KingTutsPro, you have by far the clearest voice out of the many tutorials I have watched. THANK YOU for you mentorship!
thanks buddy had really problems with audio this has made it sound much better!
Thank You Very for these Tips, my sound quality is now much more better!
Thanks!
To use the graph for equalization for the bass and treble boosting they got rid of equalization and replaced it with filter curved and graphic EQ
Thank you! You've helped the sound quality of our show quite a bit. Very helpful tutorial.
Dude this helped me so much on my school Project. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks a ton for the video. Did help me a lot to improve my videos...
simply amazing, thanks OP! best one i've seen so far
Love your thumbnail for this video. It wass very classy.
Dude! Thanks so much for the tutorial! Super straightforward and simple! It helped me fix my recordings in no time at all! Keep it up!
