In this Adobe Audition tutorial, I’ll go over my basic audio process using Adobe Audition to reduce background noise, normalize the levels to boost up the audio level, compress the peaks to help even things out, tweak and reduce background noise a little more, use the equalizer to give the audio some spice, boost the audio level again by normalizing, and then a series of things to limit the audio and compress peaks to get everything where we want it to be and make sure we’re not blowing out the speakers of the people listening to our audio. I hope you enjoy the tutorial!

your live talk is much much better, much more natural then what you present us after all your editing operations!
This video by itself propelled me into being able to use Audition really, really effectively. After watching I spent hours with various samples (Using this as a baseline) while experimenting with different settings and effects. The ones I couldn't figure out, or didn't understand their purpose, I researched. Getting started in the audio space can be incredibly daunting, I had watched other videos and attempted to do the research on my own but there were a lot of cases where people simple started by more or less jumping into the deep end and using terminology that people new to it, simply don't understand. Can't thank you enough for putting this together with that in mind - I can effectively tune my audio to produce the exact results I want, remove sounds I don't want, clean it up, EQ it effectively ( Whether that's simply adding Roll-off's or Passes or adding punch into the low-end of a voice, etc.) and more or less do whatever I see fit with any audio file I'm given/record.
Just wanted to say I appreciate it. Thank you.
"Try not to add to much" PROCEEDS TO BOOST 20dB
Hey man im a podcaster, my skills are in video editing and not audio. I really appreciate this video! it helped me out a lot!
Then why are you in podcasting lol. P.s. this was a joke no hate.
the very first thing one needs to make a great podcast/soundtrack, is a good voice!! yours is truly a great voice. Good for you sir.
when I grow up, I want to have a tone of voice like yours
3:00 Light noise reduction
4:10 Normalize audio
4:50 Light noise reduction
5:28 Compress the audio
6:43 EQ
8:16 Normalize audio
9:06 End note
thanksh
Thank you because I'm impatient
Thank you very much kind sir! 🎩
thanks
@tutvid should definitely add this at the end of his description to split the timeline into segments
TNice tutorials is by far the best soft soft basic tutorial, I rember when I just started learning, tNice tutorials was so helpful!! I’ve now been releasing edm
Your narration skills are great, but I really question your EQ settings. I think your After is not really better than the before. I'd cut some of that low end and instead of a mid dip I'd play with a slight BOOST somewhere between 1K and 2K depending on your voice, for you probably down closer to 1K.
Thanks, Michael! You might be right about that. The lows are kicking a bit, probably too much. I love comments like this, we now know the tools and your input will be helpful in addition to what anybody can watch in the video. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, man! 🍻
No prob. I think when you find that mid-freq boost point you'll find you won't need to apply the normalization process so much. I think the multi-pass noise reduction is a pretty good idea too, but you could probably apply more than 10dB reduction on the first pass, especially if you hug the noiseprint a little more.
Although you are on a right path, i think it´s a norm for broadcast type settings
@@tutvid sir I used the settings according to what u say but my sound seems inaudible
@Shahan Abidi Facts
Wow this was really helpful! I used to use a simple headset and Audacity for recording audio. I recently invested in a nice condenser microphone and started searching for tips on improving my recording quality. I have the full Adobe Suite package but never used Audition until I ran across this video. And wow I don't know why I haven't played around with this program sooner. 😆The difference in sound quality is night and day!
How are you going to make a tutorial titled "Make Your Audio and Voice Sound Better" while not using a pop filter and polluting your track with breath and plosives? Come on, man.
I noticed that too. The video is redeemed by its content, however.
I was just thinking the same thing
Fantastic job!! Thanks a bunch for not talking about your dog, what you ate for breakfast and what movie you watched last night. You got right to it. Thanks so much!!
i've been ssing around on a friends soft soft for years, finally bought it. I found your videos and instantly subscribed and have been
I edit videos every day and do basic audio editing in Premiere. This tutorial was a great way to step into the process of actual audio editing, thank you!
Thanks. Maybe I'm going crazy, but it almost sounds like this is meant to make your voice sound deeper, crisper and while I appreciate that it may make my voice have some depth, I don't speak that deeply. lol It makes male voices sound more intense and I think it kind of makes mine not sound like me. Playing with the EQ part really helped though.
Love this video dude thank you
Thank you so much. Exactly what I'm looking for.
perfect tutvid your tip and trick is excellent everyday I try my voice over in audition today I watched your video and follow your process and done my voice is studio like thank you so much
Nice tutorial! My favorite part was the quote you chose to repeat: "The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried." It makes learning Audition a bit more encouraging!
This video still helps me clean audio like no other process. Thank you so much tutvid.
Mine keeps evolving, but currently, its:
1) Increase volume by 4-6db (because I found cleanup plugins like louder sound)
2) noise reduction. (Waves)
3) De-Ssseer (sibilance)
4) second noise reduction (CLEAR)
5) decrease volume by 2-3db
6) EQ
7) Compress at -20 Thresh, 2.5:1 ratio, 3db knee, 0 attk, 40 releas
8) Volume adjust
9) limiter to -3
Everything is really small adjustments, so I preserve as much of the original sound, but get rid of things I don't want. Unfortunately, I have to manually de-Click with the Spectral editor, because i haven't found a good one that doesn't make the sound a bit synthetic.
Mouth clicks are my bane, currently.
I will give your chain a try. Always willing to try something new. :)
Wow, this was EXACTLY what I needed for my new Podcast. I'm new to Adobe Audition and this was fantastic. Thank you so much for taking the time to record such an excellent tutorial and uploading this.
Yes please make more audition tutorials THANK YOUUUUUUU
your before sounds kinda better than after lmao
lol 😂
Followed a couple of tutorials, but this one was exactly the one i needed for my project, thank you!
"Compression is where we tell all the peaks - the louder bits - just to chill out a little bit."
This has blown my mind! Thank you! I've attempted on many occasions to make my audio sound like butter in Audition from following YT tutorials, this is hands down the best one I've seen, awesome results. Thank you!
I found this tutorial to be as helpful as the ones you put together on creating time lapses a number of years ago -- I know you've produced a 'few' in between :) -- I appreciate you simplifying Audition for me!
Simple, quick, efficient. Why isn't there more of this on youtube?
Found everything I needed here. Polished my audio perfectly. Thank you!
Took notes of the whole process! Youre a lengend bro!
9:51 I understand this is not meant to be a super in depth tutorial that goes into every single aspect of what you're doing, but the Dynamics Processing effect is a bit confusing to me, and I was hoping you (or somebody) could elaborate a tad on what is happening there. Great video though and it'll help get me started! Thanks!
Great tutorial/reminder video, using this for a reference in a school project. Taught me plenty of new things too!
Honestly speaking, BEFORE I like much more than AFTER. Why is that, huh...
ur speakers sucks thn
anyone? 🤔
The after is far more better than the before cos!
The before has some muddiness in it and the after is far way clean and crispy clear
@@daVfxdudes I feel like the highs were up a little too much.
This is why I hate audio fixing 😫 Better and worst is subjective lol
Great tutorial! My next question is- how do you mix all the sound for a film? You showed how to edit a single clip, but what about mixing all dialogue for the different actors, foley, and score into a cohesive auditory track?
An absolutely great video!! Not only for the content, but your explanations, use of imagery, and choreography of the video process. I learned a lot - not only about Adobe Audition but about great video presentation! Than-you.
this was really a very helpful content, exactly what i needed for my new channel
very great lesson, thanks)
it really improve my audio
Glad it helped you out!
Best video about the audition must watch ✌️👍😎
How is the after worse than the before???
I'm also confused by this. His audio generally sounds pretty good, and I was hoping to see how he processes it, but the example he gives sounds terrible and not at all like normal.
99.9% of the time, it is the monitoring gear that fails to deliver the true and flat profile of the capture that leads the listener to failure in analyzing recognizing the true sound image. In short, replace your studio monitors or studio earphones for a better set. A good start is the Audio-Technica M-50x studio monitors.
So the fact that his audio typically sounds better, but just this one example sounds terrible, it's a failure of our equipment? No, try again. On a side note, I am listening to this through my M-50x's and everything else sounds just fine.
It is not.
Im wearing some studio headphones and there is a drastic difference. great tutorial!@@DavidRFIT
Thank you so much! TNice tutorials video helped produce fire soft thanks bro❤️
BROOO THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'R THE BEST!!!!!! I LEARNED EVERYTNice tutorialNG I NEEDED TO KNOW THAN YOU VERY
How is your lighting so perfect
might wanna use a pop shield and get rid of all the boomy bottom end !..just saying...
Great tutorial (Thank you), but I was going to ask the same thing.
Thank you, it helped me remove the background noise of my mic. Cheers!
Really appreciated this tutorial! Learned some great tips and came to understand some of these effects better. Thank!
just amazing...it turned the table
Awesome video and so well explained
Couldn't watch the whole thing sorry.. your (P)s are killing man...
Sorry to see you go!
THANK YOU! I needed this! Great video. 🏆🏆🏆
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Fantastic tutorial, this helped me a lot, thank you.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful and easy to follow instructions
Great video mate! I learned so much!!!
Excellent vid. Clear, easy to follow and really helped give a pro feel to the audio. Thanks.
Awesome brother thank you ❤
4-to-1 Compression ratio actually means that a 4 dB change on the input results in a 1dB change on the output.
thanks dude, that really helped
This video really helped me out. Thumbs up!
Hey bro! I appreciate your efforts in helping people. But if you don't mind, I'd like to offer a bit of advice if you haven't tried this already. What I believe can skyrocket you is if maybe you show an example (befoe and after) of what we will be working on first and then continue with your lecture. Because to be honest, why would I go through your entire video if I don't know what the results will look/sound like before I make my decision to keep watching? Just a bit of constructive criticism from a fellow creative. :)
Very helpful bro
MASSIVE help my man! I not only host my own podcast but produce it and many others for my clients, huge value add for my post-production skills. THANKS!
Thank you! :D you really helped me.
1. noise reduction (effects noise reduction)
2. normalise (effects amplitude and compression)(-6)
3. noise reduction (effects noise reduction) (if needed)
4. compress (effects amplitued and compression single band compressor)
5. EQ (effects filter and EQ parametric equaliser.) (loudness maximise)
6. normalise (effects amplitude and compression)(-3)
Great Video sadly my audio is not so good because my college used a cellphone record app and is difficult to make it better. In any case , I learned something new!
Perfect! Thanks so much!
Great, thank you!
thanks!
This helped so much; thank you!!!!!!!!
Nice tutorial, but if may be so bold, you might want to use a pop shield...I'm hearing those 'pops' in my Sony cans! I think you're great still, though! ☺☺
Thanks for the great educational video, but your plosives in your narration are annoying! I would have thought giving a tutorial on voice-over improvement would be to have a decent base recording to start with. The Rode mic is a great mic but you need to use a plosive shield.
Oh man thanks Nathanial! Love your tuts :-)
Such a great video thank you😇
Exactly what i was looking for, thanks very much, i loved it.
1:36 - Process Overview
2:20 - How to Record Process to Favorites
2:50 - Noise Removal
4:10 - Normalize Audio (don't forget loudness levels)
4:54 - Check again for Noise Reductions
5:38 - Compression
6:45 - EQ (you may want to try up to 5 bands)
8:25 - Save Process as Favorite and Add HotKey
9:16 - Check for 2nd Normalization Needs - Dynamics Processiong
10:50 - Normalize again if needed
Great
Can this same process also be applied to music? Like piano? If not, can you suggest and help this brother out? I'm a little frustrated not being able to figure out out😫. Mahalo much in advance!
Hi!
This is a great tutorial. I'm expanding into Audition from Audacity now, and this has shown me some pretty nice tricks as well as made the Audition UI a lot less intimidating!
Quick question - at the end of the video, after you've applied all your base editing, you discuss using a limiter if you've got some excessive peaks, saying a few times that you should do this first (which I have often found to be helpful); but, in actual fact, you're applying that limiter after all the processing has been done.
Do I understand correctly that that was just to demonstrate how to actually apply a limiter, and that the best practice is still to perform this prior to any normalization, EQ, or compression?
more complicated one. your lody needs to soft nice. 808(app) should also fit with the lody and the rythm. snare and percussion

Another Great tutorial.
This was my 12th video and there will be no 13th. Thanks dude
Thank You, can you please make a video on how to apply the same effects (noise removal, normalizing, eq....) in the Final Cut Pro
OMG THANK YOU
Thanks very much for the video! Now my voice sounds better in my videos! :)
Hi What mic are you using?
Hi, I got here to learn something but instead I saw how NOT to edit vocal :) Your voice after your editing sounds worse than before. And despite great mic you should invest in pop filter, because it can make your voice immediately much better without any editing :) It's very hard to call professional a voice with plenty of pops and hufs that are impossible to get rid of in editing. That made me stop watching you after maybe 30 seconds. So maybe you should change the title to just "Audition CC tutorial" :)
Thank you so much, I was just looking for a tutorial like this one and you came with it ! :D
Much appreciate sir
you need a pop filter pretty bad man ngl
I recorded the favorite, but everytime I use it on a new file, it says "The Noise Print is incompatible with this file." Same file type, recorded within minutes of each other.
dude same...
It happened with me too. It may be related with your Sample Rate, Bit Depth and other audio settings. Try to record favorite and remember what settings did you use. I use "44100 hz, Mono, 32"
Yeah same with mine
Try and take the noise print out of the favorite sequence and do it manually for each clip. I found that works best for me.
Fav not working for another file. Even after taking a separate voice print.
Thank you so much this helped so much you covered everything I needed to know all I need now is a pop filter
Thanks for this! One question - does the preset favorite then include the sampling of the background audio? Or do I need to sample the noise print myself BEFORE I run the process? Ideally I'd have a first step in the favorite where it takes a sample from the first three seconds of the clip but I'm not sure if that's possible.
Many thanks
Thanks! This really saved my audio for my latest video. I thought I had to redo everything.
Thanks man
Extremely helpful. Thank you very much!
Great stuff
Thank you so so much for your tutorial! Would you change anything in your workflow if you would master your audio for an audiobook and for a female voice?
Great tutorial man! Thanks. I really wanted that overcompressed 80's CD loudness wars sound and I think I found it. I ended up with this favorite for my voiceovers:
Amplitude and Compression->Single-band Compressor (-12dB?, 16x, 5ms, 50ms, 0dB)
Filter and EQ->Parametric Equalizer->Loudness Maximizer-> 6dB@100Hz, 6dB@6000Hz
Amplitude and Compression->Hard Limiter->Limit to -3dB
Reverb->Reverb (700,10,1812,50) 95/5 dry/wet
Amplitude and Compression->Normalize (-3dB)
I like the tutorial; however, I think that a pop filter is important here, and not having one is a detriment.
