We go into our Fairlight tab, click on our audio, and then open the Mixing table at the top right. We would do this, similar to the two processes above. Use The Limiter: another neat tool to help us lower our high peaks to a more natural level.We can save our adjustments as presets so we can reuse them in the future, as well! Heading over to Effects Library’s toolbox and clicking the toggle on (red highlight) A pop-up will appear that allows us to adjust our audio’s compression, frequency, and gains. Adjust the Voice Channel: the same process as the Noise Reduction tool.Always be careful with noise reduction, because if pushed too far, we may get some unpleasant results. The default settings usually go a long way, but better results come with minor adjustments. T hreshold controls how the noise reduction differentiates between the audio you want to keep and the noise you want to reduce.Sensitivity controls when the noise reduction activates based on the noise detected.Attack controls how quickly the noise reduction activates.Open up the toolbox on the top left of the edit tab, head over to Fairlight FX and select the “Noise Reduction” option.įrom there you can adjust the noise reduction’s attack, sensitivity and threshold: This tool removes any excess background noise by tracking the audio peaks and eliminating the noise.

Reduce the Noise: one of the the easiest ways to tighten audio.

If someone is shouting you could bring the volume up as high as -3dB, though -6dB is usually sufficient.

If someone is whispering bring the volume down to -20dB.

You can go beyond that range for particular circumstances.

If the speaker is supposed to be more soft spoken, stay closer to -15dB.

If you are trying to emphasize something being said or give a voice a stronger presence in the mix, lean more towards -10dB.Just remember you’re not aiming for it to be constantly at one level, a range is important for the best and most natural listening experience. Often -12dB is used as a standard by many videographers.

Unsure what you’d want your dBSF to be? Here’s a scale for good audio quality based on type of tone, provided by Streamershaven:Īim for decibel (dB) levels between -10 to -15. This is for a normal, conversational, speaking voice.
