Exercise Review - Remove Bad Background Noise

let's take a look at how I would remove the background noise and make this sound better. Now I will say this was a very tough clip because we had that bad noise from the background from the freeway that really is all frequencies. It's high frequencies, low frequencies, mid frequencies and what that means is that the same frequencies as my voice are happening in the background and creating this background noise. And if I remove those, I remove my voice as well. So it's a bit tricky. But let me show you what I did first. Let me just show you what it sounds like after, hey, this is Phil in my backyard and before, hey, this is Phil in my backyard. I used the EQ tool and that's all I needed to make this sound better. And one word of advice is to use headphones while you're editing. So let me just play through this. I'm going to delete this EQ and start from scratch and in this practice lesson. So one tip is to find a spot where you just see the background noise. So let's go here. I got this...

clip on my timeline. I can see right here, I'm not talking. So I'm actually going to put an end point here and then go right before I start talking and put an out point. Then I'm going to turn on loop play. This is something we haven't seen and it's right here. If you don't see this loop play button, click this little plus button and then just click and drag the loop option button down here into this tool bar and you see there's lots of other tools here that you can play around with, make sure that's highlighted. And now if you click play it loops through this clip just where I have the in and outpoints my face looks ridiculous but that's okay. I'm going to deal with that while I add the EQ effect to this clip. So search for EQ and add it, then click under custom setup at it. Okay, I'm gonna block my face because that is just annoying. So what we wanna do is actually use the huge tool to figure out where the noise is coming from right now we're just listening to the background noise. So if I click on mid to and then I basically drag this up what I can hear. If I sweep to the left or to the right, I can kind of hear where it's loudest where the most of the frequencies are down here on the left, there's not that many over here on the right, there's not that many either. But as I get in this range 1000 to 5000 that seems to be the hot spot of where the big noises and so by knowing that I can then just take this point and drop it down all the way and that sounds a lot better. It's cutting out a lot of that background noise. Then if I uncheck, Loop play and play through this video, I can just smooth this out by extending the curve like so so that it doesn't sound as robotic, can turn this on and off to hear what it sounds like by checking the toggle on and off here, probably about a mile away. There's a freeway but I can hear. So one thing we want to do is use this output slider to increase the output so we don't lose any of the actual volume even though we're getting rid of some sounds. We want to make sure that my voice is still the same level you're in the audio to. The other thing I'm going to do is check the low and the high buttons and make it a cut Then I'm going to change the low from 50 Hz to and the high from 10,000 to I'm going to go a little bit further than normal to 4500. Just sitting in my backyard. I actually built this person so that's cutting all the frequencies above 4500 and below 200. So if I exit out of here weekend, it's one of my hobbies that I've been doing lately. So take this audio. Try and turn on and off the EQ effect. You can kind of hear back and forth what it sounds like and while it's not perfect and it's just because the situation wasn't perfect, it is better. So hopefully you were able to get something similar to that with your own practice. If you have any questions, please let me know. Or if you have any other ways that you were actually able to make this video even better, please let me know. I would be happy to see what different effects or different settings you use yourself.
