Dude, you have no idea how much pain and suffering you and adobe removed from my life. I live in an empty home with high ceilings and no insulation or any type of sound proofing. I spend hours trying to make my audio sound descent and it still sounds horrible. I literarily just tested this with a piece I'm editing right now and I'm in tears... thanks so much dude!!
tip: edit your audio first with a audio editing software and remove some of the noise. If your raw audio is filled with too much noise, Adobe AI will decide your voice as noise and clean that too. Learned this the hard way
I learn so much from this channel! I subscribed for the art/design tips, but I'm loving these videos that branch out into audio, AI and new software too. Keep up the great work!
Glad you like it, Dan 😎 I love these topics, and sometimes, I am concerned whether the photographers or designers who watch the content would like this. You've put my worries away, thank you.
@@PiXimperfect It didn’t remove background noise completely. I also used a hammer on a pot lid while I was speaking. You can still hear a “clanking” sound in the bg, however it wasn’t very loud. And it turns your voice into a robotic voice.
It‘s not only sound imperfections or noise removal - it’s speech recognition as well. I tried extremely echoey non-English audio. It removed echo but also tried to recognise speech and in the end produced incomprehensible sort of English-sounding file.
Yes, it's not perfect. But I was impressed with most of the audio files I used with it. Exceptions: When people are talking over each other during a discussion, or when talking while there is applause or laughter. It just goes weird. But all in all, a nice tool to have for the times it might help.
I tried it as well. It only works with english. The fact is the AI tries to gather audios from here and there and tries to merge those sounds together with the original to give a "clean audio", but english recognition. I have no doubt they will improve it, but when the time comes they add other languages, they will put a price on it, sadly.
I am absolutely floored. This is incredible! It might not produce top notch audio at the moment but one cannot deny how incredible this is for beginners who can't afford expensive gear! After all, not everyone will be able to immediately buy a decent microphone when they start out so this will help* loads of people!
You'll never get top notch audio from source material that is not top notch quality. With good enough processing you can get something that sounds similar to a quality recording from anything, but in the end it'll be an approximation of the source material no matter how good it sounds.
@@gutterg0d the only thing is this is A.I. so it has the ability to fill in gaps and create whats not there. I agree with you as of now. But A.I. can potentially do some crazy cool shit. This is probably free for now so their machine learning can get better and better. Plus this shit can learn so much it might create vocals from nothing
oh man, this is a next-freaking-level tool. Audio went bad for some of my shorts and I just found this tool through your video right in time. Can't be more thankful today!
Yes and no, one thing he makes clear is that it's a great tool for, as you say, terrible sound, but it kinda ruins well recorded one, so it would be useful for UA-camrs with no audio equipment and low skills for audio editing mostly
I edit my audio by myself because there are some frequencies that can't be automated, you have to adjust them manually for a crisp voice... And also it doesn't take that much efforts to edit them manually, there may be some difficulties when you're editing your audio for the first time because you have to find best frequencies for your type of voice, and after that just make a preset of it and you're good to go...

Your channel is always informative and entertaining. You do such a good job keeping the pacing just right, explaining things, testing things, and showing how to use Adobe's tools/products. This blew me away! Thank you for another great video. :)
I used this for a wedding video I recently shot. Almost unusable audio from the ceremony. With adobe Speech Enhancement it came out like i recorded everything straight off the soundboard. Honestly incredible.
It’s worth knowing for people recently coming to this that Adobe introduced a limit and now you can only enhance one recording per hour - So if you do a test piece of a few seconds just to check what the output would be, you’re going to have to wait another hour before you can upload your track. It’s not a massive problem but it could impact on your workflow if you are up against a tight deadline
This tool from Adobe is insane, I tried with two audio files from different microphones and compared to the same audio file with treatment on Premiere, and the results are awesome, one of my lav mics was echoing a lot and the processed file removed all echoing ambient sounds which became way better than the other one. Also you can still apply audio filters on top of the processed file from Adobe, I used the same preset filters I use on my microphones and the audio became even better. Now I'm really thinking of using this tool to my other videos too.
I've been watching you for years but hadn't seen a video of yours in a while. I've always bookmarked old vids for reference. So I'm pleased to see how far you've come in video quality and lighting setup. Your information and the way you teach hasn't changed and has always been king. But the look and flow has shown a very pleasing and study growth matching the Information you share. Just wanted to say congratulations 🎊 and I hope your success continues. You and your team have earned it. Cheers from Sacramento California
For AI to do this without subband modulation or spectral smearing is pretty impressive. I'd imagine there's a good chance those listening on smart device speakers will even prefer the processed audio to the original.
just wanna say i'm gonna incorporate this in my workflow now as long as they're still free. you've been a lifesaver for my work for years now i hope you realize how thankful i am my guy. appreciate you dude
First couple of tests went great. I still here a little handling and tapping but most of it is removed. I still heard some sibilance. Sibilance is less but the adjustment is a bit abrupt, like not moving the sliders in blend-if far enough apart. Noise is gone. I agree with you about the breath sounding artificial. Breath can be removed manually in many sequencers. Adobe Podcast does a great job overall, I would say.
I haven’t checked, but I would imagine you can fine a free “de-esser” online, to control your extra sibilance before you use the AI tool. Logic X comes with a de-esser. Hope this helps 👍
Oh god!!, i was struggling so bad because i messed up a recording, and spent hours trying to fix it with no results. Finally I found your tutorial (there's no many like this!), thank you so much. I'm subscribing as a thank you. !
You have created an incredibly useful instructive piece! For example, every UA-cam user should see an echo test so that they can record professional soundtracks without paying anything extra. The room echo prevents listening to audio tracks louder, for example, while doing dishes in another room. You bring out all those important points like sibilance. Absolutely amazing work, not to mention the great tool you mentioned, which can do wonders in the right context. This video will immediately enter my hifi test folder for speech department. Sounds like the AI enchancer has been taught according to SM 7B. In future we can all sing like Elvis. But they will first cash the AI in a form or another.
08:33 the original is better also because it compressed the tonality in your voice, removing its texture and personality. However, I have often (even recently) had really bad audio that this may have helped a lot to get something usable.
To me it sounds like it would be a useful tool if you are really struggling with background noise or using an absolutely terrible/broken microphone. But if used on anything even barely passible, I feel like a lot of personality is taken out of the voice. From my own testing, this seems to be especially true for people with higher-pitched or breathy voices. This video was done excellently by the way. Very comprehensive, well presented, and thorough!
Yeah, I felt the same when trying some of my own audio. The AI made a terrific job, but sometimes it's a bit too agressive and cut out a few sounds that were not noise, but were under a certain thresold level, like a harsh noise gate.
This is absolutely amazing! When the video started I stopped and went to get my Sennheiser HD 560s to get a real sense of the audio. And it's really impressive what it does with audio recorded in untreated environments and bad microphones.
As a sound engineer I'm always confronted with the statement "We'll fix it in the mix.". Although we can perform little big miracles with the technology available today, best would be to do it properly at the time of recording. That of course includes the fact that for instance in music the arrangement (comparable to composition in photography) and the performance need to be of the highest quality possible. Otherwise we're just polishing a t*rd 🙊 Great content as per usual and Adobe's AI audio tools could be handy in some extreme cases here! Keep it up! ✌🏻
Wow! At 7:10 when you started using a good quality mic, the AI sounded so much worse...It's almost like it sounded half-way human, and half-way like those AI voices people use when they need to be able to speak a different language...(BTW, your dialogue is great to listen to, and I am SO glad you use your natural voice, instead of AI!)
Definitely not a replacement for capturing audio with high quality mics at the correct distances, but if something tragic happens and your audio is ruined for some weird reason, this could be really useful to at least get usable audio. Still I would do a little EQ and mixing to make it sound good but this could be great for removing handling noise and plosives, which are a nightmare to remove.
The one thing I have complained about for years is the "room" echo in a poor recording - something that is a result of bad mike placement or use or just bad, cheap mikes built into cheap equipment. I was astounded when your demo on that segment came out VERY acceptable! EXCELLENT!!!!! It will be interesting to see what Adobe does with the software!!!!
I think it makes a massive difference in all areas EXCEPT the sibilance. I think in every case of sibilance, it makes it worse as it sounds like its boosted mid which gives it a weird chamber sound. Just as trends happen in graphic design, I feel like the trend for Podcasts at the moment is to have a warmer sound overall, which probably makes it accurate for Adobe AI to be Adobe Podcasts. It's not my personal preference, as you say sometimes it's a bit abrupt and unnatural, taking breaths away etc, but it might suit a podcast sound.
You saved my everyday struggle with my audio recording! This would be my go-to tool remove background noise! Thank you so so much for makin' this video super instructive!
Unmesh, it's wonderful that you have a U87 for your audio but I would recommend getting a pop filter or something similar in front of it. It's very sensitive to moisture and eventually it will start sounding dull. It's a great mic & investment, protect it. ;-)
It seems to just lower the highs, and bump the mids and mid-lows. I would have liked to see before and after on a parametric EQ. You accidently didn't create any plosives before testing it, would have been interesting. But what was amazing was taking out the reverberation from the room!
While I'm using RX by iZotope on a daily basis (which is a totally advanced and professional software), I must admit that this is a really great tool for everyone who needs some help e.g. with their YT videos, but have no knowledge about the whole audio processing part.
@@TimberWulfIsHere Whats the more advanced version of RX? Also Ive been using RX for years and have never gotten such clean low & mids like the AI does
Somebody needs to run all the voice files for older games with garbage compressed audio through this and then put them back in the game. (Assassin’s Creed 1, Far Cry 2, CoD World at War, etc.)
The only shortcoming is that, it doesn't work well on non English audios. I've tried with some indian languages and Bengali, most of the time, noise, echo are fixed, but main audio is a gibberish and it isn't understandable anymore. I guess this software uses english speech to text at some point of editing, and maybe the voice models AI uses is in English.
I was wondering how it would handle accents/foreign languages myself. Not entirely surprised it has issues, but that may be why it’s a bit of a demo at this point.
Pretty cool. Davinci Resolve also has a new speech processing feature that works pretty well for free. I recently botched my lav mic recording and clipped the recording into the camera, and it cleaned it up pretty well. I wouldn't count on it all the time but it can be a lifesaver.
Thanks for another great video 🙂 I think this is usable and can save some recordings - but it does not replace a good microphone and studio. Just like with computational photography it cant yet replace large sensor, good lenses etc
Actually I prefer the processed audio from adobe even with the nice mics in studio mainly because it was softer and more pleasant less harsh. This might be simply because I am listening on iPad speakers but I think with any hi fi headphones I would actually feel stronger about because it would likely sound more intense. I notice that your mixing preferences seem to be a bit sharp for the my tastes so using only your own audio samples might be making it sound better than it actually does because when I strain I can detect a sort of text to speech artificial sound to the processed file. It just sounds better because it’s easier on my ears, if your mixing was more bass forward perhaps I would be more annoyed than relieved.
I hear you, but you can use other methods to take the edge off the sound if that's what you want; EQ, Soothe, McDsp SA-2 etc. The extra degradation to the audio isn't worth it if that's all you're trying to achieve.
Your video popped up in my recommended videos at the perfect time! I was given a bunch of iPhone shot video with terrible audio for a work project and the Essential Sound tools in Premiere just didn't cut it. This worked a treat and really cleaned up the dialogue. Only a couple clips were not salvageable.
OMG, what is happening to this world? We`re witnessing so many mind blowing discoveries that are constantly appearing soooo damn rapidly. AI is developing too fast, but that`s cool anyway 🤙 What else can it be applied to? ;)
OMG, this what I just needed to save the sound of an interview I made. The mike was not plugged and it's the default camera's mike that has caught the crappy sound. I will try it tomorrow. You might have saved it! Thank you so much.
Thank you very much for all your efforts and super useful information you provide us in Photoshop section. Your job is amazing!! On the other hand, i can't be saying the same for Adobe's ''A.I.'' new feature. There are dozens and dozens of free softwares out there which can do exactly the same. The result is equally bad. There are certain things that can be done and others that simply can't!!! For some folks, that boomy result can be impressive, for others not. Have spent so many hours setting up my mic trying countless combinations and different configurations. It simply can't be done!! If someone believes that using some compressors, noise suppression filters, expanders and noise gate filters can achieve studio recording ''miracles'', i would say...well, keep dreaming. If on the other hand he's happy with the result, i am happy for him!!
You and Adobe just saved my video. We had interiew with sick guy at hospital and there was helicopter in background. It was terrible but after this.. It is clear AF! Thank you 🙏
Really glad to see this, I was actually using NVIDIA Broadcast to “process” prerecorded audio, which as you can imagine, is not the most straightforward or convenient. This is what I was looking for in broadcast. Cheers!
Love the curves and appreciate the attention to detail on the tests. Always a joy to watch and learn. Love the growth of the background and lighting compared to the early days. Nice yluse of color and symmetry.
You saved me! I filmed an interview with a wireless mic, which wasnt recording, so all I had left was the B camera's onboard mic. I can finally finish my edit!
This was just what I needed! I was going to make a video presentation and didn't even think about enhancing because nothing works well! But this worked very well! Thank you.
I am continually being blown away by these groundbreaking inventions that are totally FREE! Stunning AI art and now this! This opens up a world of content creation possibilities to the average layperson and whether you think that's a good or bad thing, there's no denying how impressive this is.
Don't worry, it's not gonna stay free for long. Adobe isn't a non-profit. I bet they're using the free samples they get from users as a way for their AI to learn and improve.
Do you really realize why this AI developpers makes free beta versions ? They need their machines to learn from guys like you in order to get better result. No philantropy or whatever else behind 😅 btw, you can achieve far better reusults, more precise processing and less artifacts audio by using tools like audio plugins, such as sooth, rx from Izotope and your brain also.
Thank you so much for this! I started doing vlog's in my car on the way to work and needed something to clean up the road noise. This seems perfect for my use.
Yeah I've this when you mentioned I think it was in a short or a community post and I find it amazing. I even tried it with an audio recorder on the street and it fixed 90% of the problems
😯I tried it, It turned a recording of very low quality/low volume input/noise..etc into a high quality one, the only one caveat is that my voice was altered completely🤣, I bet it took my voice as a model of reference to generate a new synthetized speech, I highly recommend everyone to try it, if you have a bad recording, think twice before dumping it, this AI tech can be your last resort.
HOLY CRAP! This is a savior for me!! I just recently started voice acting, and my mic stands out like a sore thumb in comparison to my fellow VAs mics!
Today I had to film 2 people in front of green screen, usually I put a standalone condenser mic but decided to try this thing and just recorded the audio through photocamera built-in mic (in an opposite end of the room). Was blown away by the results, it`s a bit glitchy and changed the male timber noticeably but still very good, and they were happy with those results, Much thanks for this! I woudln`t know
That’s incredible. I watched a recording studio buy a $200 drum kit, and process it with drum replacer and it sounded every bit as good as a $5,000 drum kit. So this is where we’re going.
Don't be silly. Drum replacement will never sound as good as a real kit. .. at any price. Just weird. Go hit a real snare as soft .. then as loud as you can, then do that with a simple... I'll wait.
Thank you! I saw Adobe AI on another channel, but they failed to say what the Web address was and, since they also failed to give the proper name of the Website (and Adobe won't let you search for it on their site) I couldn't find the proper page. This is a great help as I have just begun doing audio books and a neighbor with dogs has just moved in. Sigh.... Keep up the great work!

At 7:10 when you started using a good quality mic, the AI sounded so much worse...It's almost like it sounded half-way human, and half-way like those AI voices people use when they need to be able to speak a different language...(BTW, your dialogue is great to listen to, and I am SO glad you use your natural voice, instead of AI!)
Definitely not a replacement for capturing audio with high quality mics at the correct distances, but if something tragic happens and your audio is ruined for some weird reason, this could be really useful to at least get usable audio. Still I would do a little EQ and mixing to make it sound good but this could be great for removing handling noise and plosives, which are a nightmare to remove.
THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW REASONS WHY YOUR CHANNEL IS THE BEST MEDIA TUTORIAL CHANNEL OUT THERE!!!! Very insightful :D
The way you analyzed the audio, shows you are a great mixing engineer too 😃
probably a trap
The one thing I have complained about for years is the "room" echo in a poor recording - something that is a result of bad mike placement or use or just bad, cheap mikes built into cheap equipment. I was astounded when your demo on that segment came out VERY acceptable! EXCELLENT!!!!! It will be interesting to see what Adobe does with the software!!!!
I appreciate the effort you put in to create this video! creating something like this takes a hell lot of time!
It's brilliant for what it does. You're 100% right about getting it right at source. It sounds slightly clipped - but a great blanket process.
I think it makes a massive difference in all areas EXCEPT the sibilance. I think in every case of sibilance, it makes it worse as it sounds like its boosted mid which gives it a weird chamber sound.
Just as trends happen in graphic design, I feel like the trend for Podcasts at the moment is to have a warmer sound overall, which probably makes it accurate for Adobe AI to be Adobe Podcasts. It's not my personal preference, as you say sometimes it's a bit abrupt and unnatural, taking breaths away etc, but it might suit a podcast sound.
You saved my everyday struggle with my audio recording! This would be my go-to tool remove background noise! Thank you so so much for makin' this video super instructive!
Another awesome audio tool that's AI powered and similar to this is called "Krisp", it is currently being used in Discord's noise cancelation system!
2:55 That is unbelievable! It won't fix a Lav that someone clips inside their polyester jacket but the fix on the SM58 sounds great.
Unmesh, it's wonderful that you have a U87 for your audio but I would recommend getting a pop filter or something similar in front of it. It's very sensitive to moisture and eventually it will start sounding dull. It's a great mic & investment, protect it. ;-)
Which microphone is used in studio?
Tell the model, please.
@@seductioncorner Neumann U87
It seems to just lower the highs, and bump the mids and mid-lows. I would have liked to see before and after on a parametric EQ. You accidently didn't create any plosives before testing it, would have been interesting. But what was amazing was taking out the reverberation from the room!
While I'm using RX by iZotope on a daily basis (which is a totally advanced and professional software), I must admit that this is a really great tool for everyone who needs some help e.g. with their YT videos, but have no knowledge about the whole audio processing part.
Wouldn't say Rx is that advanced but can be useful for sure.
@@TimberWulfIsHere Whats the more advanced version of RX? Also Ive been using RX for years and have never gotten such clean low & mids like the AI does
@@grantsomething don't think there really is until there is a version with complex ai algorithms comes into play
Somebody needs to run all the voice files for older games with garbage compressed audio through this and then put them back in the game. (Assassin’s Creed 1, Far Cry 2, CoD World at War, etc.)
This is great, I've been trying to sort a reverb issue out and this does it in a single click. Amazing!
The only shortcoming is that, it doesn't work well on non English audios. I've tried with some indian languages and Bengali, most of the time, noise, echo are fixed, but main audio is a gibberish and it isn't understandable anymore. I guess this software uses english speech to text at some point of editing, and maybe the voice models AI uses is in English.
I agree, the Dutchlanguage is also not processed well!
But removing echo was great. Is there another tool that removes echos?
Same thing here for Italian, the result was a made up language with English-like style.
I was wondering how it would handle accents/foreign languages myself. Not entirely surprised it has issues, but that may be why it’s a bit of a demo at this point.
Your comment is definitely highlight most useful comment
Pretty cool. Davinci Resolve also has a new speech processing feature that works pretty well for free. I recently botched my lav mic recording and clipped the recording into the camera, and it cleaned it up pretty well. I wouldn't count on it all the time but it can be a lifesaver.
In free version?
@@gawr2765 Yep in the free version!
The best Indian UA-cam channel I have ever seen and the best Photoshop channel in the world. Highly recommend 🔥🔥🔥 and love from Sri Lanka ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for another great video 🙂
I think this is usable and can save some recordings - but it does not replace a good microphone and studio. Just like with computational photography it cant yet replace large sensor, good lenses etc
Hey man, you absolutely killed it with this video! This is soooooo gooood !!!!
Actually I prefer the processed audio from adobe even with the nice mics in studio mainly because it was softer and more pleasant less harsh. This might be simply because I am listening on iPad speakers but I think with any hi fi headphones I would actually feel stronger about because it would likely sound more intense. I notice that your mixing preferences seem to be a bit sharp for the my tastes so using only your own audio samples might be making it sound better than it actually does because when I strain I can detect a sort of text to speech artificial sound to the processed file. It just sounds better because it’s easier on my ears, if your mixing was more bass forward perhaps I would be more annoyed than relieved.
I hear you, but you can use other methods to take the edge off the sound if that's what you want; EQ, Soothe, McDsp SA-2 etc. The extra degradation to the audio isn't worth it if that's all you're trying to achieve.

Your video popped up in my recommended videos at the perfect time! I was given a bunch of iPhone shot video with terrible audio for a work project and the Essential Sound tools in Premiere just didn't cut it. This worked a treat and really cleaned up the dialogue. Only a couple clips were not salvageable.
Jump to 10:32 and save yourself from his motivational speaker style verbosity.
I did that thanks 😂
OMG dude!! This changes everything from now on! Thanks for sharing!
Why does the cheap 5$ Amazon mic sound so good 💀
my mind is being blown from this bro being able to use a rubbish mic and then cleaning it up with this is a game changer for music related purposes
OMG, what is happening to this world? We`re witnessing so many mind blowing discoveries that are constantly appearing soooo damn rapidly. AI is developing too fast, but that`s cool anyway 🤙 What else can it be applied to? ;)
OMG, this what I just needed to save the sound of an interview I made. The mike was not plugged and it's the default camera's mike that has caught the crappy sound. I will try it tomorrow. You might have saved it! Thank you so much.
Thank you very much for all your efforts and super useful information you provide us in Photoshop section. Your job is amazing!! On the other hand, i can't be saying the same for Adobe's ''A.I.'' new feature. There are dozens and dozens of free softwares out there which can do exactly the same. The result is equally bad. There are certain things that can be done and others that simply can't!!! For some folks, that boomy result can be impressive, for others not. Have spent so many hours setting up my mic trying countless combinations and different configurations. It simply can't be done!! If someone believes that using some compressors, noise suppression filters, expanders and noise gate filters can achieve studio recording ''miracles'', i would say...well, keep dreaming. If on the other hand he's happy with the result, i am happy for him!!
You and Adobe just saved my video. We had interiew with sick guy at hospital and there was helicopter in background. It was terrible but after this.. It is clear AF! Thank you 🙏
Why wouldn't it be free? They NEED people to upload a crap load of audio to train their AI for free.
I can't believe what I've heard during this video. Sİmply amazing.
Really...one of the best channels on YT. Thank you!
Really glad to see this, I was actually using NVIDIA Broadcast to “process” prerecorded audio, which as you can imagine, is not the most straightforward or convenient. This is what I was looking for in broadcast. Cheers!
That’s pretty impressive. It sounds a little muffled and crunchy at some parts but still, pretty good
Wow - this was the most helpful, clear and concise film/audio video I've ever seen!
Love the curves and appreciate the attention to detail on the tests. Always a joy to watch and learn. Love the growth of the background and lighting compared to the early days. Nice yluse of color and symmetry.
You saved me! I filmed an interview with a wireless mic, which wasnt recording, so all I had left was the B camera's onboard mic. I can finally finish my edit!
Love that you got the curves adjustment layer in there! :D
Wow well tutorial step by step ❤❤
Bruh, I was with you since 200k, Proud of you my friend
You’re very good at what you do. 👍
This was just what I needed! I was going to make a video presentation and didn't even think about enhancing because nothing works well! But this worked very well! Thank you.
I love your vids so much! They're so helpful
I am continually being blown away by these groundbreaking inventions that are totally FREE! Stunning AI art and now this! This opens up a world of content creation possibilities to the average layperson and whether you think that's a good or bad thing, there's no denying how impressive this is.
Don't worry, it's not gonna stay free for long. Adobe isn't a non-profit. I bet they're using the free samples they get from users as a way for their AI to learn and improve.
🤡🤡🤡
Do you really realize why this AI developpers makes free beta versions ? They need their machines to learn from guys like you in order to get better result. No philantropy or whatever else behind 😅 btw, you can achieve far better reusults, more precise processing and less artifacts audio by using tools like audio plugins, such as sooth, rx from Izotope and your brain also.
I love that you gave a bunch of real world scenarios and audio test types. Thanks!
I just tried this for one of my videos and ITS SOOOO GOOOOD 🤯🤯
Amazing sounds ☺♥♥♪
Thank you so much for this! I started doing vlog's in my car on the way to work and needed something to clean up the road noise. This seems perfect for my use.
Yeah I've this when you mentioned I think it was in a short or a community post and I find it amazing. I even tried it with an audio recorder on the street and it fixed 90% of the problems
I learned alot about mics and audio recording from this video. Man you gave us good ear test .
This is great! Saves so much fiddling about. The result is amazing. Let's hope is rolled into the software as a filter!
😯I tried it, It turned a recording of very low quality/low volume input/noise..etc into a high quality one, the only one caveat is that my voice was altered completely🤣,
I bet it took my voice as a model of reference to generate a new synthetized speech,
I highly recommend everyone to try it, if you have a bad recording, think twice before dumping it, this AI tech can be your last resort.
I just can't stop loving this channel
This video deserves 200million like bro thanks so much i cant express my joy and how much you have helped me
Here I was learning how to edit audio in Davinci Resolve to level up my videos. This is awesome!
Tried it and it saved one of my audio that i did not recorded right. Many thanks!
You have one of the best info videos. keep going!
This is such a TIME SAVER and it WORKED BETTER than manually adjusting in AUDITION.
HOLY CRAP! This is a savior for me!! I just recently started voice acting, and my mic stands out like a sore thumb in comparison to my fellow VAs mics!
I was literally searching how to amplify sound.
Now its easier by using this method.
Thank you man 🤩
Today I had to film 2 people in front of green screen, usually I put a standalone condenser mic but decided to try this thing and just recorded the audio through photocamera built-in mic (in an opposite end of the room). Was blown away by the results, it`s a bit glitchy and changed the male timber noticeably but still very good, and they were happy with those results, Much thanks for this! I woudln`t know
This is the ultra helpful tutorial of my entire life, literally. Thank you so much for this content and, off-course, Adobe.
I am currently researching the application of AI, thank you blogger for sharing this will be very useful
That’s incredible. I watched a recording studio buy a $200 drum kit, and process it with drum replacer and it sounded every bit as good as a $5,000 drum kit.
So this is where we’re going.
Don't be silly. Drum replacement will never sound as good as a real kit. .. at any price. Just weird. Go hit a real snare as soft .. then as loud as you can, then do that with a simple... I'll wait.
@@morbidmanmusic hey silly. You’re so behind the times… wait for it… it’s silly. Go troll someone who gives a shit. I’m not going to wait.
Thank you! I saw Adobe AI on another channel, but they failed to say what the Web address was and, since they also failed to give the proper name of the Website (and Adobe won't let you search for it on their site) I couldn't find the proper page. This is a great help as I have just begun doing audio books and a neighbor with dogs has just moved in. Sigh.... Keep up the great work!
omg i get so excited when you upload new videos!!😍💗💗 thank you so so much for this!!!
It depends on what the audio is used for , if you use it for long audio books or lessons it is better with the softness processed one
Hello from Canada. You are very good at what you do!
