Tips & Tricks Background noise removal

[Capeman]

So for many of us YouTubers getting good audio with little to no background noise is hard. So instead of getting the perfect quite place you can just edit out the background noise and improve your content. I don't know about you guys but for me personally i hate watching videos that have lost of background noise. So i would suggest using Audacity to remove background noise after you have recorded your videos. Here's there site http://www.audacityteam.org/

So there's video tutorials on YouTube that can explain how to use it to remove background noise, but ill share what i know on how to do it. If all else fails go find a tutorial.

Step 1: open up your videos audio in Audacity.
Step 2: Find a part where there's no talking or anything else other than background noise.
Step 3: Right click and select the background noise part.
Step 4: Go to the top tool bar to where it says Effect and go to Noise Reduction and open it.
Step 5: Click get noise profile.
Step 6: Select all of the audio this time and go back to Noise Reduction and click ok.
Step 7: Your done! now just save and export the audio and put it back into your video!
But for real people go look up a tutorial on YouTube for this. I'm sure it will explain it a lot better than i did.

Hope this Helps! Any other tips or tricks for audio you guys wanna know? ask me i just might know!

While I don't actually use Audacity, this is extremely helpful for new youtubers!

Though I find this guide useful, I find it much easier and even quicker just using Adobe Audition for this by simply amplifying it and automatically adjusting the pitch quality.

Regardless, thanks!

This may be a silly question but my recording software separates my audio into game audio and voice audio. Should I do this with the game audio as well or just voice?

Just your voice audio, you game audio shouldn't have background noise.

Audacity is seriously about as sweet as it gets. A free software that can vastly improve your content is relatively unheard of
