    Equalization has been removed from Audacity, superseded by the two new effects:
    Filter Curve - uses drawn curves for the equalization
    Graphic EQ - users sliders for the equalization (similar to hardware graphic equalizers)

    Thank you so much for this superb tutorial. You are a very gifted teacher! You waste no words and you do not numb the listener with a repetitive introduction. I have found and enjoyed another gem! You may consider illuminating 'scrubbing' in audacity. I wish I could interview the 44 people who disliked the tutorial.

    @derekpetrarca5421 9 років тому +1

    Thank you so much for this. We have done 80 episodes and never even knew about EQ and compression. We were getting frustrated sounding so uneven and harsh even using decent mics and pop filters. So happy to have found this and a little ashamed for having not found it sooner!

    I loved your explanation about each part of the equalization frequency.

  • @JohnnyHacknslash
    @JohnnyHacknslash 12 років тому

    I would, for one! So many audcaity tutorials don't really show a lot, or need to follow their own advice on recording as they're nearly impossible to understand while talking during the video. You provide clear explaination, and are very easy to follow along to. If you offered tutorials, I would absolutely follow.

  • @josephalbanese
    @josephalbanese 10 років тому +1

    Great tutorial. Very helpful without getting into the weeds. One suggestion. Let us here the audio before and after applying the effects to hear the difference. Other than that it was great and not surprisingly the audio on the video was a joy to listen to. I'm always amazed at some of the sound editing videos I've listened to that sounded like the guy was talking into a tin cup.

    Thanks for the tips Dan! I prefer to roll off some of the annoying frequencies, before doing any boosting, but your video was still interesting and insightful.

  • @Shimbels
    @Shimbels 10 років тому +25

    To anyone reading this you're not supposed to boost the frequencies like he has here, it's better to take frequencies out and then boost everything later when it's done.

    In audacity, you can change the waveform view to logarithmic db view. That way, you can see exactly where you need to start compression.

  • @realderekbrothers
    @realderekbrothers 11 років тому

    It could be noise in the room (fan,air conditioner wind etc) it can also be the echo of your voice it passes thru the walls and goes back to the mic, and if its not any of that idk, what I do is use the noise removal in the effects within audacity grab a small part of the track and then the entire track (I hope you understood all I wrote xD )

    Does what goes for vocals here also bssically go for instruments?
    Thx.

  • @davidfuchs845
    @davidfuchs845 12 років тому

    Great tutorial. Question: What order should I apply these changes in? I have somewhat noisy audio from a chap off of Skype. My tendency has been to compress it, apply noise reduction since the compression increases some of the noise, then EQ it slightly and normalize with the other voices. Is there a better order?

  • @krmgradiojoe
    @krmgradiojoe 10 років тому

    Dan... I love equalizing audio in Adobe Audition. I generally use the 10 band equalizer. With Adobe I can "preview" the audio and move the slide pots up and down on the ten different frequencies (while listening) to hear the change of sound. I can't seem to do this with Audacity. I'm finding the :05 to :07 second preview too fast and can't adjust the sound in real time as the track is playing. Is there a way to extend the playback time of the preview on Audacity (for the graphic equalizer) so to adjust the sound in real time while the audio is being played?

    hello, thanks for ur tutorial, but i have 2 questions, can u answer them ASAP?
    1) I have audacity 2.0.3 version and on there for equalization, i do not have option to drag the lower and higher frequency bars up like u r showing, so how do i do it? Can u provide details?
    2) There is also option to add GVerb/Reverb settings to make recorded audio better.....so i should do both equalization/compression and then add Gverb? Should both be done or either/or? and which to do first?

  • @joelhencken
    @joelhencken 8 років тому

    Wonderful tutorial, thank you. One question though. I thought of Compression as lifting the quiet parts as well as lowering the loud parts. Is there a way to do both, rather than modifying only the too-loud parts?

    Is it okay to just compress bits where the audio has a noticeable spike? Or is it necessary to compress the entire audio clip at once in order for it to not sound patchy?

  • @DonnaBrooks
    @DonnaBrooks 10 років тому

    Thanks for the vid! Could you please tell me why one would want to use the equalization to boost the treble and bass instead of just using the Boost Bass or Boost Treble effect? Also, could you do a video explaining all the MENU options for Audacity. There are some effects that I've used many times, but others I don't have a clue how they might even be used. Also, what's the difference between just the Fade Out effect and "Studio Fade Out"?

  • @Real_LiamOBryan
    @Real_LiamOBryan 11 років тому

    I was just wondering if anybody can tell me if you should compress the audio before equalization or after. Am I wrong in thinking that if you boost the frequency before compression, then you risk a greater chance of peaking out (I don't know if this is called clipping or not)? Then when you compress the audio, won't the peaks be squared? And if so, can't that give the audio a clicky, digital quality?
