5 minutes writing a script outline can reduce the number of takes and cutdown on filler words (uh,well,like,and).
DIY audio booth - your mattresses flipped up against a corner
DIY Cheap pop filter - coathanger+pantyhose (or sock but muffles more)
DIY cheap audio backdrop foam tiles - those cardboard drink carriers from fast food places or pool noodles cut into strips
Thanks for adding these extra great tips! Especially the cheap pop filter suggestions.
- Kirstie (FXhome staff)
Paul Newton that last tip is a good idea
Hey what’s the video u posted before this
Which app do you use
@@FXhome i play Mk11 Kombat League ultimate how do i get players voice to be heard on RUclips people can hear the players voice
As someone who is currently in middle of starting her own RUclips channel this is extremely helpful :)
Glad to hear it!
- Javert
My mind was just blown! I had no idea I could add more audio and video tracks to my timeline! Thank you so much!
Oh hoh...! I guess that's just inexperience with general video editing. (^ ^;)ゝ
Your face, your tone, your voice are weirdly soothing me. Thank you. And thanks for the tip on compression.
Thank you so much for the Audacity stuff! Audio is something I've always struggled with on my videos and this is really gonna help me out ^-^
Glad to hear we could help!

I did that spacing with my hand and it made a world of difference with my mic.
Thanks I was sitting way to close to it before 🤙🏾
Glad we could help!
- Javert
man, this is actually very helpful. im no youtuber or anything i casually records games for fun. thanks man
Thanks for showing us the different softwares that can be used, very helpful 👍🏼
Happy to help!
- Javert
Thank you for this video! It helped me quite a bit and I just recently started using audacity for this! I have watched this quite a bit and all I hear in my head is "this is a example of a voice over in audacity" when I boot it up! XD
Glad it helped!
- Javert
Thank you so much for this! I’m actually working on voiceover for the Okami HD game. This helps a lot! I also subbed to you! ❤️❤️❤️
Happy to help!

Glad it could help!

Also if not using words with the letter P, pop filters are still a must to get rid of any other plosives and other sounds where air escapes the mouth at high enough velocities.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! I'm a new youtuber and I was wondering how I could make my audio sound better for my videos, I was recording my audio on obs the whole time so when I uploaded the video to adobe it was all one thing and I couldn't edit the video or the noise in the background from my fan, but now I can do it! Thank you so much man!!
Great to hear, glad we were able to help!
- Javert
Same @apexshinobi602
This is very helpful and light to follow. Thank you so much. 😊✨
Glad it was helpful!
- Javert
@@FXhome yes Sir 😊
I've found the deadcat that came with my mic works way better than the pop-filter (although I do everything with Nvidia broadcast too so I have an AI pop filter as well - but the deadcat does all I need it to, especially recording gaming videos and not effect audio.
You're not just making tutorials, you're saving lives
Thanks so much for this tutorial! It was a bit of a challenge on mac bit ultimately a great tutorial!
Glad it helped!
- Javert
you help me a lot i tried thousand of recording software but thr=is works best
I love you man you just saved me. Hell yeah.
Glad we could help!

Very helpful
Great Audacity tips. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for the comment!
- Kirstie (FXhome staff)
Thanks for this mate, I was looking for something like this so I could start my own channel up. Being Mute for most of life my social skills or the ability to express myself vocally is lacking considerably; hoping that I can learn a new skill in video editing whilst I try exposing myself into speaking more regularly to try and get over the anxiety of how unnatural I sound in conversation.
Much appreciated.
Happy to help, good luck with your channel!
- Javert
Very useful as My Short Film!
THanks really helped
Glad to hear!
- Javert
You were the only one that works but I didn’t have enough room on my computer to download the app my computer is a toshiba it’s very old so that explains alot
Nice work..
but you can use VST plugins in the OBS studio like: ReaPlugs VST FX Suite
great help broh...keep it up
Thanks!

this got my subscribe!
Glad to hear it!

Now that is a lush, magnificent beard
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yes it is
😂😂😂😂😂 no matter how serious or educational the video is, there's always a guy like you😂😭
But how do you know in the gameplay, how to line up the Video and the audio
while doing voice over just play the video at one side and record your voice on other side then you will know
Yes of course you can do that too!!
Just attach the microphone to the system in which you are gaming and while recording the gameplay you can record your voice
I play in PS4 so I know how to do on that, I don’t have any idea how to do that in pc
@mr.Duckyt You should record with OBS (or whatever else you use) and use Audacity at the same time.
then while editing you should be able to sync them up pretty easily with no issues
it helped me a lot😄😄
Glad to hear it!!
Im a new yt and this helped so much
Glad to hear it!
- Javert
Tha I you for helping me it will help me alot more than I was doing it lol
You're welcome!

i hope i win that pc, becouse i really love over editing, effect everywhere, but my pc cant take it, and exporting of only 30 seconds video takes 5 hours :( i really love Hitfilm express 13 btw. cool news ;)
at least im getting mic in 29th this is gonna help me a lot
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!

You're most welcome!

ty boss
2:29: To start recording, click this red butt.
Lol i hewrd that
Honestly all sofware u mentioned Where downloaded in my pc so thats easy lol
How do you supress the noise and make it sound this clean FXhome?
Okay, I'm changing from openshot to this software. Blur doesn't lag and what's the most important CPU is used wisely by the application. If I'll be using it for over a month I think I'll buy the starter.
Thanks for the support!
- Javert
Hey can we do the same gameplay recording using a laptop..also suggest a laptop which is good for gaming as well as video editing..BTW your videos are much helpful !thanks
I definitely need help with my gaming channel
thank you
You're welcome!
- Javert
This will help my friend that is the RUclipsr to speak while playing Minecraft
Question: I don’t want my game sound to get caught up in audacity when recording how do I separate it from my commentary voice and the game sound
I would love to win honesty so hard to make my fan trailers when I can only see a laggy low quality playback
Hey while we are taking about audio I have a suggestion. It would be great if you could set a default label for audio files.
Thanks for suggestion! We'll pass that along for the HitFilm development team.
- Kirstie (FXhome staff)
Thanks a lot very helpful! This is the best video editor software ever. I will never convert.
Glad you found it useful!

thanks so much

Wait. We’re you the channel that liked my second video!?
Hello! I was wondering how it works when you've imported gameplay where I have voice already recorded in the gameplay. I realize my voice sounds lower than the sounds from the game I'm playing and I haven't figured out how to adjust my voice volume and game volume since they were not separate from the gameplay footage.
Hi, were you able find out how to do this?
@@nat4465 no. I don't believe there is a way from what I've found. Everything points to no. But I've found that they aren't too horrible lolz I've just been trying to do it right moving forward and letting the old videos be.
Cool, yes that seems to be the case. Thanks a lot for your response.
very help full, one question tho, does filmexpress render and able to produce 1440p60?
Yes: www.manula.com/manuals/fxhome/hitfilm-pro/13/en/topic/starting-a-project
- Javert (FXhome Staff)
I did this but I have an echo how do i fix that
Get a better mike
Uh....I feel kinda stupid asking, any tips on making sure your gameplay and VO audio are aligned?
Thanks so much for the free software suggestions. I'm familiar with Audacity (although an eternal learner), but OBS is new for me. Now, which video converting software would you recommend? Since Freemake is no longer free, what should I use to convert videos I need to work with?
Thank you
you can convert videos with VLC... but it's not exactly simple, you have to know what options to use
@@nerddujugement8334 And VLC doesn't always do a good job converting them, specially with those weird surveillance formats. I came across Handbrake and I'm loving it so far. If you ever need a free converter you should check it out. Also free. Freemake used to be good, but now they are " Paidmake".
srry this is old but iv been using shotcut for a year knew and it has amazing presets for exporting different videos
@@gucciboy4555 Thank you. I also learned about Handbrake and have been pretty happy with the way it works, although not very user friendly. I mean, It's easy to use but not so easy to create presets.
@@LuizNunes74 never heard of handbrake before. Might look into it but I just found out today how to add a voice over onto shotcut and it has made my life soooo much better. Thankfully it’s fully free and decently user friendly. A 5-7 mins beginner tutorial and your pretty much set but glad to see handbrake is working for ya.
Hi, I'm getting this strange gurgling sound after I speak for some reason that doesn't change when I treat the audio for background noise. What can I do?
I use a turtle beach stream microphone
what would be the best pop filter for it?
could I just use any pop filter?
2:01 thank me later!
Thank you
People like you deserve to go to heaven
Thanks
Audacity is good in a pinch but all changes are destructive. 60$ will get you Reaper, a really solid DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
With Audacity, if you make equalizer changes, those changes are permanently written to the wave form, proper DAWs run the audio through plug-ins instead allowing testing and making changes in a non-permanent or destructive way.
I have a copy of audacity at my dayjob because I don;t have to do editing often enough to warrant getting a proper DAW but for my side business (Photo and Video) I use a proper DAW.
As a startup is it necessary to buy an external SoundCard?
Can you get audacity and OBS to start recording at the same time so no need to mess about trying to sync the video to the audio?
Yes! All you have to do, is set up your hotkeys the same. In OBS, you just go into settings and into hotkeys, then find record and bind that to whatever, I use f6, and then in audacity, press Edit, then on the bottom click preferences, find keyboard near the bottom, and scroll to the R section, in there, one part says Recording - Record, it should be originally bounded to R, click that, then click your OBS record key, I still use f6, however, to record both at once, you must click your hotkey while having Audacity opened, or else only OBS will start recording. Hope this helped and wasn't too late.
OK, I'll add to this video. if you're doing game play and yell, processing will not work. in the interest of free, download vst host, and add the default compressor, set the limit on there, and then chain it in audacity, in order to do that in audacity you will need go to where it says audio host, change that to wasapi, then go to recording device, and speaker, the speaker you're using, that will be your interface if you're using one. this will give you even better audio. Note that in the voice over world if you normalize you should always do it at -3db. Of course none of this will work if you do not have a quiet environment, many people go for condenser mics but I would recommend dynamic if your environment isn't like the pros. Yes lets touch on this pop filter, you don't need one, take too pencils attach them together and speak into the pencil, the air from your voice will allow for separation, you can also use the finger method, placing two of your fingers together, and speaking into them. But wait, you're trying to play games and record aren't you?, ok I got you, place your mic to the side of your mouth, this will allow for no popping due to the mic not being in front of you. you can also put the mic below your mouth and aim it up. There's more to discuss but I'll leave you with these few. Just make sure you record something and don't waste time.
And even then, digital limiters and compressors are limited in their usefulness. A proper analog limiter would be best like one built into a decent audio interface.
I have a field recorder that I use for recording audio for client work that has a limiter but it;s a digital one so I don;t even bother. Instead I use a recording mode on my recorder that records the audio to 2 different files. One at whatever level I set and the other 6db quieter.
If my audio on my main file clips or distorts, I can go to the quitter file and get that distorted section from that track.
I use a Tascam DR-40.
@@EricLefebvrePhotography Tascam is great but I think, people should get the dbs 286s, there's a video online that show how to use this to completely remove background noise, without losing your original sound. also yes I agree with you about digital devices.
Bruh your cam looks insane
Kindly do reply me Can I do both voice and game recording at same time??
My life is changed I always thought that people did it through the video capture or something so that it records with the video capture lol
Glad we could help!

I have a problem, when I put both the sound and the mp4 video in Hitfilm Express the voiceover comes before the video, for example if I kill someone in a game and I say "I got a kill!" like 5 seconds later before I got a kill. I checked why and it's because I recorded the voiceover a little bit after I started to record with OBS, I can't press the record button in both of them at the same time. Is there a way to fix this issue?
Slide the voiceover layer over until it matches.
- Javert
@@FXhome nah its way to complicates
I downloaded it and plugged in my USB mic and then looked for Preferences in the edit tab and that tab is no where to be seen. Any suggestions and/or help??
I have a question, so if you compress it later when you put them together in the other app, the audio and the gameplay, are they gonna match? I mean my comments/reactions and what I see in the gameplay?
Youll have to either time your voice audio and gameplay audio in order to make them fit, or just adjust them in the editing software until they're in sync.
I love your setup! What microphone is that? It’s really crisp!
We're using a Blue Yeti USB Microphone at the moment :)
- Oli (FXhome staff)
FXhome Thank you!
@@Perrified Don't get the blue yeti mic, the high end on it may effect your audience ears. Buy your mic base on your environment, if your place is noisy get a dynamic mic, if it's quiet get a condenser. my humble opinion.
Score Moore Yeah ok
Nice tutorial but the before and after is definetly with a different mic setup or at least an eq there is no way you can get that quality difference just from audacity
record audio while gaming or record it after?
cool
Thanks!
- Javert
all i want is how to record your voice while you play the game but everything on youtube is tips on how to make a more entertaining commentary over the top of gameplay
just press record and start playing once you get done playing click stop recording and edit
BUT the problem here, is how do you can match perfectly your voice with the gameplay ?
Tip: for recording, if on windows, use the game bar
nah lowers fps bruh
Goodfella Gaming no i mean in game
How did you make the FX logo zoom in from nothing and bounce to a stop and your namecard swing in and sway to a stop? You didn't use any of the built-in 'Pro' Behaviour / Animations to do those; because they can't do that, even though they're pretty basic and standard MoGraph Animations. A Tutorial on making them would be useful.
There probably hasn't been a tutorial on the built-in Animations for good reason: no one would use most of them, they don't combine well, don't have useful parameters to adjust and they don't cover the basics. So 'forget' them and show how to make our own and save as Presets or Composite shots that'd we'd actually want to use.
Thanks for the feedback and suggestions, we can keep this in mind for future tutorials.

I streamed in twitch and wanted to download the video.. but the game ended up being louder than my friends and my voice. Is there a way Audacity can lower the game sound while increasing voice sound
how do you know video and voice record will work the same time perfectly
You can move them around in HitFilm later to sync them.
- Javert
Does the recorded audio suffer when the processor is over used?
I play on Xbox and I record my gameplay part. How do you reduce the noise of the sound of the controller?
why there is no inbuilt voiceover option in HF it take long to do all this process and many times it doesn't match at all which make my efforts waste
How do you sync your audio to your gameplay?
GRAZIE
You're welcome!
- Javert
Any good apps for android for doing voice ?
How do you link it to your gameplay though
Look I have a question can I turn this one if I'm recording Game play and will it work
Yes you can hit the record you video and audio at the same time so you wont have to synchronize your video amd audio because of the delay. (This is why people record video and audio separately)
how do we do a voiceover like IN hitfilm itself?
how do i record gameplay sound and my voice at the same time.
If you have an elgato, you can just record normally with commentary and game audio. And then when you get audacity you can import the commentary file and just edit it.
how can i record my voice audio while game chat can't hear me? Do i mute myself and get a audio mixer or something?
Why should I "record" in Audacity and trying to juggle with synchronizing gameplay and voice track, afterwards, if i could instead record multiple audio tracks directly in OBS?
After that I could extract that voice track via Audacity, for editing and it would have EXACTLY the same length than the gameplay track.
That's what I'm planning to do. Record video and voice with OBS, edit video, extract voice file from edited video, edit the voice if I have to, add it back to the edited video and voila.
You are doing two times capturing & encoding the video this way... quality will suffer, frame rate of the video may change too if OBS capture fps is different.
when i record, i can barely hear my voice. I decided to normalize the track and now i can hear it but it sounds weird
i'm from morocco . i whish to win this PC
