Hey audio friends! Check out my new album, recorded in my home studio. It's not generic garbage, trust me. I think you'll like it: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/cthreep/karma-harm
Thanks friend! The video was very helpful, in my first test video my voice was very boomy, clacky, and sounded very far away and unfiltered, but after following these easy steps, it was rather easy to resolve and i was impressed by the quality i could put out :0
I am A 70 y.o man who enjoys music and singing , your videos have helped me soooo much ! Thanks to you I can sing my heart out * lol .... Again I can not thank you enough
I owe you a lot for that video. it was very easy to understand and the differences were a lot noticeable. The point of the video was very clear and well taught
This was super helpful! Thank you! Audio is the one thing that I want to get just perfect since I think its the number one thing that turns people off when watching videos. Would you suggest compressing and normalizing as well? Your video got posted to Reddit/letsplay and so far its been met with a lot of approval. If you did a video on how to do the Game Grumps EQ settings in Adobe Audition it would be getting SO MANY VIEWS! Their lets play quality is perfect for voice overs. Also take a sub because I love learning about this stuff.
Thanks for the words of encouragement! I didn't know my video was posted to a thread on Reddit - I'm glad people are finding it to be helpful. As for Normalizing and Compressing...it's certainly not a bad idea to do it. Compressing is a lot more effective than normalizing, but if you've done a good job with your mic setup to begin with, EQ is the most effective tool.
finally somebody that explains what a proper distance to the mic is :) great explanation, i was looking for this kind of info. (y) i had all those troubles you explain, and have been trying to apply a good eq, but with no success.
Just the info I was looking to learn. I have to say, I think the EQed track sounded a bit too thin to me, but I am listening on earbuds, so that could explain it. That 1K Hz dip was the golden nugget of info for me. I love it! My voice is more in the John B. Well or Don LaFontaine range when I do spoken word (only done trailers and bumpers before), but I don't know how well that will work for the audiobook projects I'm starting. Can't decide whether to accentuate the depth or minimize it. I've got a wide range of styles I can do, but I would love to get your feedback at some point once I get to the recording stage. Maybe it would provide some value to your subscribers to use my experiments as examples. I've never tried to be my own director/producer/engineer before, and I'm really looking forward to it. I really appreciate your tips on Audacity. I've been teetering between using it or GarageBand, and would like to use Audacity, but my only experience is with Cubase and GarageBand. Cubase was totally intuitive at the time I was using it (15 years ago!), because it was just like using real gear, which I was used to from the days when singing in a16 track studio was a dream come true! I was a little intimidated by Audacity's interface at first, but just seeing the few tips you've shared in your videos has broken the ice. I am so grateful for your videos, and your sense of humor is just my style. Keep it up, please!
+X S Thanks for the support! And if you ever want me to listen to some audio samples you're working on just email them to me. My email address is in the "About" section on my channel page.
you sir are a god.. after switching mics I could not get the bass out of my voice without sounding like a phone operator.. everywhere else online just shows general "add bass/treble equalization preset" i like the detail you went into.
So you have adjusted the equalizer for the best possible voice output, but is there any way to save as a profile setting so you don't have to keep on adjusting every time you restart the program or perhaps start a new voice paragraph?
+YouGotJuno It probably doesn't matter. Both file types are "lossy", meaning they get compressed to reduce file size and experience just slight loss of quality. MP3 is more common, so maybe just roll with that. Hope this helps.
Wow why didn't I see this video years ago. I was currently editing a video and my voice sounded bad since I've been away for 2 months and needed to get back into the groove of things. I watched this and I never manually messed with eqing before. I use adobe after effects and messed around with a parametric equalizer and it brought my voice from almost and unbareable sound to perfect video quality!
Do you guys know how to stop the blue snowball ice from creating distortions. The distortion happens randomly. For example, There is no distortion when i first start talking. Then in the middle of the audio recording it will distort for however long a sentence is. Then goes back to normal. To visualize the distorting it will distort how long a sentence is. For example, I like my cat will distort, but the sentence after that will have no distortions.
this is probably stupid,, but I can't figure out my headphone situation. am I supposed to have it to where I hear myself in the headphones?? when I record my videos I'm either to loud or to quiet because the headphones mess with me. please help with some advice. thanks
I've done like everything but if i sit at the distance he is sitting at i have to boost the audio so hard wich makes the static signal worse as well.. i have an xlr mic and dedicated soundcard tho. Plz help.
If you're doing gameplay. Use USB mics. If you're doing full commentary like movie reviews or just general audio based content. PLEASE invest into XLR. Get a 100+ interface and you can get some cheaper xlr mics
Thank you, very helpful. I haven't seen the t-shirt tip so far while as a sewist it was the first thing I thought of. Have you solved this stripy video problem since? I'm recording software tutorials too and if I'm using a camera for myself, I get this annoying stripy look too.
@@cThreep No, I get it in OBS preview and during live streams. My phone on the other hand makes beautiful videos of working screens without any flickering, I wonder what it does differently but I need my camera to be able to do that.
Thanks you my man! even so I am editing sound on adobe audition, you just made me want to jump into the sound editing world, more then just editing the volume:D! now I need to learn how to do so in adobe XD
Thank you. I do tend to make a fool of myself. And I'd love to do UA-cam full time! But that day may never come...so I'll keep posting for the fun of it regardless.
Great job on this one! There is still a frequency that gives it some thin boom. But that is the socks lol. And was that the end theme from "The Carol Burnett Show" that you were humming at the end???
xNIGHTTHRASHERx DCUO The tune at the end of Pony Champ 2 (great game by the way) was a tune I made up on the spot. I've never seen The Carol Burnett Show haha
C-Threep Haaaaaaa! I knew it! I am THAT good. One of my my music professors told me I should get tested for perfect pitch--but I may for sure have good tonal memory/aural recall. Thanks for the banter. ;)
C-Threep bro, I'm not just saying it! seriously I thought UA-cam was broken or something when I saw your number :) lol. Their just so well put together, and your so lively! is just because your new? Keep it up!
MORGAN NASH I've been posting videos for about 3 years now, but only actively posting for about a year. I used to go months at a time between videos but have stepped up my game since June 2014.
When is Blue Snowball vs Blue Yeti come out? I know that these vids take a lot of editing, but I just really want to see it. I know u would do it very well.
To be honest, I was going to record the song for that video TONIGHT and tomorrow night, but I ended up having too much homework (notice how I'm stalling doing homework by getting on UA-cam RIGHT NOW). It's the next video on my list, but the last few videos I've made were just easier and quicker to make so I made them :)
ok this is a great tutorial on how to edit my voice however what if i dont have a mic instead i have a headset from which i talk through will it imply the same effects i tried about 4 tutorials about how to edit they are completely useful and nothing i still sound horrible i mean if i cant get my in headset built in microphone to sound good (probably has a diffrent name)i guess il just buy blue snowball or any microphone that sounds really good.
+eidude2000 i hope you'l reply to me soon i really need to know the pepole who watch my videos are wating for about 3 weeks and i didnt even make one video because of just this problom hope you'l help me all i did was look at tutorials some not that good some alot more better and still noting,btw im replying to myself so he can maybe notice this more i dont know if its a foolish reason or not but nvm that.
+eidude2000 ok il stop replying to myself i just want to state that i tried to do it with my headset's mic it sounded horrible so il try and buy a blue snowball i hope all thase tips will work,dont mark as spam just a way for him (or you if your reading this) to notice me of course this isnt 100% sure but i hope it works if not il stop.
Thanks for the tips. I'm using Nessi Blue but some editing required. Can you paste the voice recording into this software, that you recorded with Sony Vegas for instance? Thanks in advance :)
I have Audacity, and Ableton, and Reaper. The actual recording of the voice over isnt the problem. The problem is... How do I merge that audio into my video so that I can post/upload it?
I wanted this to help, I really did, but my problem is, even when I do all the steps on how to record good audio, my audio sounds stuffy, like a phone call. When people make these tutorials, they have crisp, clear sounding audio as the clip to "fix". That doesn't help me at all. I need an example of how to change the audio quality I have, to one that sounds good. I don't know how to improve my audio when the example you have sounds 10 times better than what I have. I don't know what to do anymore... I bought a high-quality microphone, it has a studio pop filter, I have the quietest room in my house, and I even go the extra mile, and put my mic stand on a towel, even though it's on the carpet. I don't know what to do anymore. Im sorry for venting, because this was still kinda helpful but, this was kinda the straw that broke the camels back. This isn't aimed at you. It's just me venting my frustration...
this is old but have you ever figured out the best way to make your voice clear? I did everything that said to improve my soud but to me it sounds like crap ,lol maybe becuase its my voice and i dont actually hear it the same way ppl do ,thoughts?
I hope you see this within the next couple hours... q.. I did the equalization thing but still it has this wooo woo woozy sound... I am not using an external microphone btw...
Hmm, not sure what you mean exactly. Do you mean the audio quality? I just try to follow the things in this video (especially mic placement) the same each time.
Informative for very early voice-over work buuut USB mics aren't exactly what a professional-client is looking for. Pop filter, a sock? sure maybe, but if you really want to spend money on something it should be the audio equipment, and it's not like a foam pop filter is gonna take your entire budget. All the editing tips are well done though and i'm sure will help any beginner
The clip at the start is better than what i got ... maybe not audio quality wise, i edit my audio, but definitelly just commentary wise... im so shy, im scared to speak xD idk what happened, i used to make videos before when i just started youtube a few years ago, but then i stopped for like 2 years and cant get that hype anymore :/
+Heroshyn Vlogs & Stuff Dude, just go for it! The more videos you make, the more confident you'll get. It just happens. Do yourself a favor and watch my first video. It's embarrassingly bad as far as how monotone and unexcited I sound.
wow this video really help me to make proper sound in my youtube channel , thks a lot really :D keep making video like this , i love you video auto subsricbe :D
No, I'm sorry, but that's completely wrong. The boomingness was not from too much bass. It was from your voice bouncing off the walls of your room. In other words, it was room noise. There's an effect for that. Record 5 seconds of room noise without you saying anything, just the room. Click Effects, go to Noise Reduction, click Get Noise Profile button, then select the track you want to remove the noise from, then go to effects Noise Reduction again, and click OK.Then all the room noise will be gone. Then, you need to go to equalisation, then boost bass, boost treble, then in effects click Normaise (3 dB workds great), in effects again, click Compressor (Threshold -30dB, Noise Floor -50dB, Ratio 5:1 Attack Time 0.10secs, Release time 1.0 secs. Make sure both tick boxes are selected). Then back to effects/normalise again (3dB). Then make any adjustments to your pitch. That's professionals do it. What you did is the exact opposite of what you should do.
+NeonsStyle Okay, let's get a few things clear - The boomingness WAS from too much bass, which can be caused by the room, the mic, your proximity to the mic, etc. etc. I MADE that vocal track boomy in the first place by boosting it with EQ. Yep, I made the demo track sound like crap on purpose for this video to illustrate a point of how to EQ vocals if your track is too boomy, and to just show how to use EQ in general. No point making a video on how to get a good sound if the sound I'm working with sounds great to begin with. Point is, every track is going to sound different so there isn't a cookie cutter EQ move for all. Any professional will tell you that. If a "professional" is telling you to follow an EQ or compression move exactly, then they don't know what they're talking about. And I am very well aware of the Noise Reduction effect in Audacity - I made a video going step by step through how to reduce white noise with that effect. But removing white noise will not inherently get rid of bass. And there is not a cookie cutter solution for how to use compression. (it would be nice, but it simply doesn't work that way!) For example, setting the threshold at "-30" means nothing if your audio is either really quiet or really loud - threshold simply adjusts when the compressor will kick in relative to the volume of the source audio. And a 5:1 ratio is SUPER high for mild compression, you typically don't need that much compression if you've recorded your vocal properly. You'd get way too much gain reduction and a really squashed, unnatrual sound. But again, that depends on the source audio. At times, a 5:1 ratio might be good - but it depends entirely on what you're dealing with. And to be frank, the compressor in Audacity doesn't work all that well. Basically - professionals do what sounds good - they don't just use a bunch of presets on their compressors and EQs and do the same thing for every track.
+NeonsStyle Well, when you say "You're completely wrong" and "You did the exact opposite of what you should do" it isn't the most credible way to start offering a suggestion. Especially if the suggestion is along the lines of "I'm right. You're wrong. Here's how to do it". There's multiple ways to do this. It's very situational. This is audio mixing, after all. Not multiplication or addition where there's only one correct answer. Imagine if I were to comment on one of your Minecraft videos and say "Sorry dude, but you're playing this game COMPLETELY wrong. You're doing the exact opposite of what all the highly viewed UA-camrs are doing. Let me tell you exactly what you need to do..." How ignorant would that sound? How confrontational would that sound? No suggestion that I would have would even have any credibility. You probably agree that there's no exact way to play Minecraft, everything is situational and up to the creativity of the gamer. There might be tips and tricks but certainly no "One Size Fits All, Everyone Else Is Completely Wrong" solution. Sorry for the rant, there's just so much misleading info out there on how to mix audio and it seems you've stumbled into some of it. Again, your suggestions might be right in some situations, but what I explain in this video is certainly not "wrong" or "the exact opposite of what I should do."
C-Threep If you were to say that on one of my videos, I'd just say "LOL thanks for the comment". Going off at one of your subscribers is counter productive, as you should well know. Also nothing in my comment was personally negative. I just said it was wrong. No I still disagree with you on the audio issue. However that's a moot point in my view because we will never agree on that. However going off in a rant at someone who disagrees with you is not very productive for your channel, and especially going off at a subscriber. This is not just between you and I. What must your other subscribers think when they see this conversation? "I'm not going to make any suggestions if I get this sort of response from him". It's like shooting yourself in the foot. It's also a complete over reaction. If it'd been me, I'd have just said "I disagree, but hey we're all different. Have a great day." So I'm done with this now, so have a great day and don't fly off the handle at one of ur subs again.
+NeonsStyle Okay dude, have a great night (I mean that, by the way, no ill will). But....why didn't you just say "I disagree, but hey we're all different. Have a nice day" as your first comment? LOL. Telling someone that they're doing it completely wrong and then proceeding to explain the one and only right way of doing it isn't really a "suggestion". I welcome suggestions on my videos, I often ask you guys to leave a comment or suggestion or feedback at the end of my videos. I enjoy discussions. I don't know everything. Some of my subs have 20 more years of experience than I do. I love it. I just don't know what I did that is the exact opposite of what I should have done. Seriously curious. Instead of speaking close to the mic are we actually supposed to be sitting far away from the mic? I mean if that's how you feel then, okay, but you didn't even mention that or explain why that would be a good idea. And regarding EQ, in the video I said that we should either reduce the bass or boost it depending on what our audio sounds like. I happened to be giving an example of a situation in which you should reduce the bass. If you actually disagree with something then please explain what you disagree with rather than saying that I did it completely wrong and then rattling off a bunch of EQ and compression parameters that don't affect any two pieces of audio in the same way. Honestly man, I'm not trying to be confrontational.

finally somebody that explains what a proper distance to the mic is :)
great explanation, i was looking for this kind of info. (y)
i had all those troubles you explain, and have been trying to apply a good eq, but with no success.
had to sub for the humor and real insight keep it up! !!

thanks for this video!! helpful as always!
You're very welcome!

Nice video mate!
Great tutorial, just got a new mic today so gameplay commentaries should sound a whole lot better now
+MegaMcFisty The goat simulator video actually sounded good!
dope video bro! Love the content.
I didn't know you made videos. AHH I must watch em all!
You better believe it! Don't hurt yourself watching them all.
Thank for the help :-]
thanks for the clear instruction again
Very nice! I like this video teaching me how to use EQ.in audacity. Thanks!
I just love how hillarious the Pony Champion 2 intro skit is 😂
Great videos my friend
Question! Could you give me the brand of the mic? Is it a condense mic?
hey there actually i wanna buy a microphone but i dont know which microphone to buy.. will u plz suggest me which mic to buy...
The second sock looks like been worn, lol😂 I love your video, great video with worn socks!
So you have adjusted the equalizer for the best possible voice output, but is there any way to save as a profile setting so you don't have to keep on adjusting every time you restart the program or perhaps start a new voice paragraph?
+YouPlantTube Absolutely. You can Save Preset for any adjustments you've made to an effect.
Thanks for the video, this definitely helped me out with Audacity :D
+YouGotJuno You're welcome!
Umm sorry, one question.. if I were to, say edit my videos on iMovie do you recommend saving my audio file as mp3 or m4a? thanks in advance ^^
+YouGotJuno It probably doesn't matter. Both file types are "lossy", meaning they get compressed to reduce file size and experience just slight loss of quality. MP3 is more common, so maybe just roll with that. Hope this helps.

did you ever find a good microphone?

Thanks man this video really Helped me out
I can not find the Equalization tool anywhere in my audacity program? Where do I find/get it?
amazing video. Thanks!!!!
are u using cardioid or stereo?
how do you make i sound so loud?????? mine is always either very low or it you add gain - lots of extra noise
Very informative! Thanks :)
more or less a Low cut filter or high pass filter..correct??
I've done like everything but if i sit at the distance he is sitting at i have to boost the audio so hard wich makes the static signal worse as well.. i have an xlr mic and dedicated soundcard tho. Plz help.
Thanks for solving my problem awesome video would like to learn more from 100 inspired
If you're doing gameplay. Use USB mics. If you're doing full commentary like movie reviews or just general audio based content. PLEASE invest into XLR. Get a 100+ interface and you can get some cheaper xlr mics
You are awesome! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you, very helpful. I haven't seen the t-shirt tip so far while as a sewist it was the first thing I thought of.
Have you solved this stripy video problem since? I'm recording software tutorials too and if I'm using a camera for myself, I get this annoying stripy look too.
Could be if you’re applying a frame blending effect in your video editor when you export the video
@@cThreep No, I get it in OBS preview and during live streams. My phone on the other hand makes beautiful videos of working screens without any flickering, I wonder what it does differently but I need my camera to be able to do that.

Thanks you my man! even so I am editing sound on adobe audition, you just made me want to jump into the sound editing world, more then just editing the volume:D!
now I need to learn how to do so in adobe XD
+TopMethod _Sweet!_ Have fun with it.
Thanks a lot I'm going to use these tips, but do you have any tips for recording in corner?
Thanks for watching! Are you asking about recording vocals in a corner?
excelent video m8
Lol at the socks...great video dude
but the socks are funny
would you recommend compression on vocals?
What video Editing Software do use?
Dude you are hilarious you should really pursue a career on youtube, I think you could make it big
Thank you. I do tend to make a fool of myself. And I'd love to do UA-cam full time! But that day may never come...so I'll keep posting for the fun of it regardless.
This is super helpful.
Can you make an editing tutorial for when multiple people with different voice volumes/dbs use one mic?
Great job on this one! There is still a frequency that gives it some thin boom. But that is the socks lol. And was that the end theme from "The Carol Burnett Show" that you were humming at the end???

Hey threep, How do you get , at the end of your Videos, vids within there to ask people to got to?? thanks
I can't use the effects option, I select the part and click effects all the sub options are faded and I can't click on them
You have to click the stop button its the yellow one then you can use effects
+Sifath ShahabTM Got it, thanks.
What version is your audacity on
I have a pop filter and I also surrounded, and put under, my mic with sound absorbent foam lol.
That's a great idea, actually.
I think the word youre looking for is "Plosives", the Bs & Ps etc
I want that echo/reverb effect
When I used this it made my audio echoey any suggestions
How'd u make the audio in the beginning sound bad? The Blue yeti and Snowball Ice are good mics soooooo it would be hard to make it sound terrible...
Furballswift I used EQ and a distortion effect to make it sound really bad :)

Okay but how would I do something like this in Audacity if I wanted to record metal vocals (Screams)... Is it basically the same thing?
Yep. Basically the same.
When is Blue Snowball vs Blue Yeti come out? I know that these vids take a lot of editing, but I just really want to see it. I know u would do it very well.
To be honest, I was going to record the song for that video TONIGHT and tomorrow night, but I ended up having too much homework (notice how I'm stalling doing homework by getting on UA-cam RIGHT NOW). It's the next video on my list, but the last few videos I've made were just easier and quicker to make so I made them :)
ok this is a great tutorial on how to edit my voice however what if i dont have a mic instead i have a headset from which i talk through will it imply the same effects i tried about 4 tutorials about how to edit they are completely useful and nothing i still sound horrible i mean if i cant get my in headset built in microphone to sound good (probably has a diffrent name)i guess il just buy blue snowball or any microphone that sounds really good.
+eidude2000 i hope you'l reply to me soon i really need to know the pepole who watch my videos are wating for about 3 weeks and i didnt even make one video because of just this problom hope you'l help me all i did was look at tutorials some not that good some alot more better and still noting,btw im replying to myself so he can maybe notice this more i dont know if its a foolish reason or not but nvm that.
+eidude2000 ok il stop replying to myself i just want to state that i tried to do it with my headset's mic it sounded horrible so il try and buy a blue snowball i hope all thase tips will work,dont mark as spam just a way for him (or you if your reading this) to notice me of course this isnt 100% sure but i hope it works if not il stop.
+eidude2000 Sorry, just saw this for some reason. I assume you figured something out??
well i bought a mic aned a friend listend and said it sounded a little better so i guess it counts as figuring something out
Thanks for the tips. I'm using Nessi Blue but some editing required. Can you paste the voice recording into this software, that you recorded with Sony Vegas for instance? Thanks in advance :)
Yes you can :D you just have to get the audio file out of Vegas, into Audacity, edit & render it out and then put it back into Vegas. Simple as that.
ty...
yo c-threep luv the vids. how u record acoustic guitar? t8x m8
I have Audacity, and Ableton, and Reaper. The actual recording of the voice over isnt the problem.
The problem is... How do I merge that audio into my video so that I can post/upload it?
any vid editing software like filmora just drag and drop the video then the same with audio
THOR!!
I wanted this to help, I really did, but my problem is, even when I do all the steps on how to record good audio, my audio sounds stuffy, like a phone call. When people make these tutorials, they have crisp, clear sounding audio as the clip to "fix". That doesn't help me at all. I need an example of how to change the audio quality I have, to one that sounds good. I don't know how to improve my audio when the example you have sounds 10 times better than what I have. I don't know what to do anymore... I bought a high-quality microphone, it has a studio pop filter, I have the quietest room in my house, and I even go the extra mile, and put my mic stand on a towel, even though it's on the carpet. I don't know what to do anymore. Im sorry for venting, because this was still kinda helpful but, this was kinda the straw that broke the camels back. This isn't aimed at you. It's just me venting my frustration...
this is old but have you ever figured out the best way to make your voice clear? I did everything that said to improve my soud but to me it sounds like crap ,lol maybe becuase its my voice and i dont actually hear it the same way ppl do ,thoughts?
I hope you see this within the next couple hours... q.. I did the equalization thing but still it has this wooo woo woozy sound... I am not using an external microphone btw...
+Jada Williams Hmmm, what do you mean by woo woo woozy sound?
C-Threep I don't know how to describe it in writing... but it has this heavy dense buzzing whizzing sounds when I use w words and some other words..
Interesting
Wait Mr.C! HOW DO YOU KEEP THE AUDIO CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT ALL YOUR VIDEOS?
Hmm, not sure what you mean exactly. Do you mean the audio quality? I just try to follow the things in this video (especially mic placement) the same each time.
Okay thank you
AND IT IS TIME FOR PONY CHAMPION 2!!!
I kept on replaying
One of these days I’ll make pony champ 3 haha
Audacity is also on ipad
3:48 where he's mocking the way his voice sounds is so funny to me!!!
Informative for very early voice-over work buuut USB mics aren't exactly what a professional-client is looking for. Pop filter, a sock? sure maybe, but if you really want to spend money on something it should be the audio equipment, and it's not like a foam pop filter is gonna take your entire budget. All the editing tips are well done though and i'm sure will help any beginner
You be clownin dude. Video had me dying.
Stay tuned for Pony Champ 3
+C-Threep can't wait.
+Darryl Williams is it on console or oc?
The clip at the start is better than what i got ... maybe not audio quality wise, i edit my audio, but definitelly just commentary wise... im so shy, im scared to speak xD idk what happened, i used to make videos before when i just started youtube a few years ago, but then i stopped for like 2 years and cant get that hype anymore :/
+Heroshyn Vlogs & Stuff Dude, just go for it! The more videos you make, the more confident you'll get. It just happens. Do yourself a favor and watch my first video. It's embarrassingly bad as far as how monotone and unexcited I sound.
Yeah ik ill get it back eventually xD just sucks how shy i am now when before i was completely fine
Niceeer
wow this video really help me to make proper sound in my youtube channel , thks a lot really :D
keep making video like this , i love you video
auto subsricbe :D
***** Thank you!! Best of luck with your channel.

I hate how audacity only lets you preview after you make change. Makes no sense, should be real time.
+Snooze00 Agreed, but it's just not powerful enough. They could probably implement it though.

No, I'm sorry, but that's completely wrong. The boomingness was not from too much bass. It was from your voice bouncing off the walls of your room. In other words, it was room noise. There's an effect for that. Record 5 seconds of room noise without you saying anything, just the room. Click Effects, go to Noise Reduction, click Get Noise Profile button, then select the track you want to remove the noise from, then go to effects Noise Reduction again, and click OK.Then all the room noise will be gone.
Then, you need to go to equalisation, then boost bass, boost treble, then in effects click Normaise (3 dB workds great), in effects again, click Compressor (Threshold -30dB, Noise Floor -50dB, Ratio 5:1 Attack Time 0.10secs, Release time 1.0 secs. Make sure both tick boxes are selected). Then back to effects/normalise again (3dB). Then make any adjustments to your pitch. That's professionals do it. What you did is the exact opposite of what you should do.
+NeonsStyle Okay, let's get a few things clear - The boomingness WAS from too much bass, which can be caused by the room, the mic, your proximity to the mic, etc. etc. I MADE that vocal track boomy in the first place by boosting it with EQ. Yep, I made the demo track sound like crap on purpose for this video to illustrate a point of how to EQ vocals if your track is too boomy, and to just show how to use EQ in general. No point making a video on how to get a good sound if the sound I'm working with sounds great to begin with. Point is, every track is going to sound different so there isn't a cookie cutter EQ move for all. Any professional will tell you that. If a "professional" is telling you to follow an EQ or compression move exactly, then they don't know what they're talking about. And I am very well aware of the Noise Reduction effect in Audacity - I made a video going step by step through how to reduce white noise with that effect. But removing white noise will not inherently get rid of bass.
And there is not a cookie cutter solution for how to use compression. (it would be nice, but it simply doesn't work that way!) For example, setting the threshold at "-30" means nothing if your audio is either really quiet or really loud - threshold simply adjusts when the compressor will kick in relative to the volume of the source audio. And a 5:1 ratio is SUPER high for mild compression, you typically don't need that much compression if you've recorded your vocal properly. You'd get way too much gain reduction and a really squashed, unnatrual sound. But again, that depends on the source audio. At times, a 5:1 ratio might be good - but it depends entirely on what you're dealing with. And to be frank, the compressor in Audacity doesn't work all that well.
Basically - professionals do what sounds good - they don't just use a bunch of presets on their compressors and EQs and do the same thing for every track.
C-Threep Hey chill out mate, I was just offering a suggestion. Jeez.
+NeonsStyle Well, when you say "You're completely wrong" and "You did the exact opposite of what you should do" it isn't the most credible way to start offering a suggestion. Especially if the suggestion is along the lines of "I'm right. You're wrong. Here's how to do it". There's multiple ways to do this. It's very situational. This is audio mixing, after all. Not multiplication or addition where there's only one correct answer.
Imagine if I were to comment on one of your Minecraft videos and say "Sorry dude, but you're playing this game COMPLETELY wrong. You're doing the exact opposite of what all the highly viewed UA-camrs are doing. Let me tell you exactly what you need to do..." How ignorant would that sound? How confrontational would that sound? No suggestion that I would have would even have any credibility. You probably agree that there's no exact way to play Minecraft, everything is situational and up to the creativity of the gamer. There might be tips and tricks but certainly no "One Size Fits All, Everyone Else Is Completely Wrong" solution. Sorry for the rant, there's just so much misleading info out there on how to mix audio and it seems you've stumbled into some of it.
Again, your suggestions might be right in some situations, but what I explain in this video is certainly not "wrong" or "the exact opposite of what I should do."
C-Threep If you were to say that on one of my videos, I'd just say "LOL thanks for the comment". Going off at one of your subscribers is counter productive, as you should well know. Also nothing in my comment was personally negative. I just said it was wrong. No I still disagree with you on the audio issue. However that's a moot point in my view because we will never agree on that. However going off in a rant at someone who disagrees with you is not very productive for your channel, and especially going off at a subscriber. This is not just between you and I. What must your other subscribers think when they see this conversation? "I'm not going to make any suggestions if I get this sort of response from him". It's like shooting yourself in the foot. It's also a complete over reaction. If it'd been me, I'd have just said "I disagree, but hey we're all different. Have a great day." So I'm done with this now, so have a great day and don't fly off the handle at one of ur subs again.
+NeonsStyle Okay dude, have a great night (I mean that, by the way, no ill will). But....why didn't you just say "I disagree, but hey we're all different. Have a nice day" as your first comment? LOL. Telling someone that they're doing it completely wrong and then proceeding to explain the one and only right way of doing it isn't really a "suggestion".
I welcome suggestions on my videos, I often ask you guys to leave a comment or suggestion or feedback at the end of my videos. I enjoy discussions. I don't know everything. Some of my subs have 20 more years of experience than I do. I love it.
I just don't know what I did that is the exact opposite of what I should have done. Seriously curious. Instead of speaking close to the mic are we actually supposed to be sitting far away from the mic? I mean if that's how you feel then, okay, but you didn't even mention that or explain why that would be a good idea. And regarding EQ, in the video I said that we should either reduce the bass or boost it depending on what our audio sounds like. I happened to be giving an example of a situation in which you should reduce the bass. If you actually disagree with something then please explain what you disagree with rather than saying that I did it completely wrong and then rattling off a bunch of EQ and compression parameters that don't affect any two pieces of audio in the same way. Honestly man, I'm not trying to be confrontational.
Good video!
In the begining I thought U were pewdiepie lol
Seems like a game he'd play.
