Love it. I actually stumbled upon this a few days ago, and -34-36db is what works on my voice too, to take out the breaths while not cutting off any beginnings or endings too soon. I love the mode of exploration and discovery instead of the desperate mode of trying to find out how to fix something. Honestly before I stumbled upon this, I was thinking I was going to have to go in and individually do volume automation points to get rid of the breathing. This is a real productivity enhancer. Another thing I stumbled upon that I don't know if you know about: If you tap a drummer track section and tap "Settings" you can double or quadruple the drummer's tempo, and vice versa half and quarter it. You can also change the velocity and even reverse it. I was playing around with a funkier version of my first Distrokid release which is really slow, 67bpm, and I knew the drums were just not right for the funky electric piano riffs I had discovered, so in my mind I thought I was going to have to create an entirely new project in 134bpm, to audition new drummers. Fun discovering productivity enhancers like this! Thanks for all you do!
Waw, really, thank you very much, Pete. You explain the noise gate very well that when first i went to another channel to learn how it works i could not understand what he's saying. But in here, it's clear, and easy to follow!
Great to hear my friend. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I hole you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing.

Definitely! I owe so much to the excellent community here and I personally learn so many new things, and get so many video ideas, form the wonderful people who contribute here.
Thanks so much for this great tutorial, Pete! I have been working to reduce some snare buzz while I’m playing my toms, so I plan on using a little conservative gating on the snare to help reduce this. I’ve loosened the lug screws beside the snare beds slightly, which helped some, but there is still some buzz, mostly when I hit my 10” tom. I really appreciate how you make all your videos so easy to understand. Cheers!

man thank you so much for helping people with all of simple info you provide us , what about cutting the noise after record electric piano using Steinberg interface , the wind in mix loud and I do not know how to make it low .
It can be handy, yes, but you do definitely need to be conservative otherwise you can actually completely cut out some quieter parts. I tend to leave it off on the way in for everything but really loud distorted guitars that are feeding back.
Hey John. A full explanation of dB (decibels) might need to be a topi for another video as it is indeed a confusing topic. As it relates to this, just keep in your head that 0dB is the point where your audio hits he red (and clips), so your loud signals that are up in the yellow are probably peaking at -10 to -5dB. If you have a quieter track, you will have peaks around -30 to -20dB.
Thank you! I really want to start animations but my laptop is broken & I don’t have a mic, so I have a lot of background noise when I record on my iPad.

Hi, Pete, this thing of Noise Gates not doing anything while the audio is playing, is it only on Garageband?, are there other plugins that do cut the noise while audio is playing? And..., can I use volume automation to reduce noise between phrases without risking the start and end of my phrases being chopped? Thank you.

Thank You Pete for another great GB handling video! :) Question.. Using GB on my Ipad Air 2, If i just record a silen room, it is not silent when playing back, but a constant static or hissing sound is there. Not terribly loud, but very noticeable ! Is that normal ? Once again, Thanks for your effort and hard work producing all good stuff you do :) . Best! David, Sweden.
Hey David. So yes, this is basically what is called the “noise floor”, which is the background noise that exists in any environment. You can reduce this in a few ways, primarily by turning down the “input” volume. You can also use interfaces and microphones that are higher quality and have a lower noise floor which will reduce this background noise. Finally, you’ll notice that it you go in to a closed space, like a walk in closet, you will get less of this background noise.
Thank you for he Quick answer Pete! I am new to this wonderful world of digital music. First the mike didn’t work as it should, found dirt stuck in top microphone hole. After that was fixed...hard to get it out, didn’t want to damage the mike, I noticed the mentioned noise. Now I know that’s what I get. I will experiment with the settings to se the differences.

Hi Pete thanks for the info, really helpful. Have you any suggestions for plugins to reduce white noise for GarageBand iOS and where to get them/how to install? Possibly you already have a video about this?
I’m about to record a video about reducing background noise and hiss. There’s really no easy way once audio is recorded. You can EQ out some high frequencies but it tends to leave your tracks sounding a bit flat. The best thing to do is make sure you have your audio as clean as possible on the way in. What are you using to record your tracks?
Can anyone help me I don’t have headphones so when I record a song the beat mixes with the vocals and it overlaps when I pause the beat itself I actually hear it on the vocals . Is not having headphones the problem ?
Hey there my friend. Yes, if you play back your audio through your speaker, the mic will pick it up. Suggest you try to grab a cheap pair of headphones as this will make sure the audio playback is not picked up by the mic when you are recording another track. 👍
You could also reduce the volume of the instrumentals pretty low so that you can hear what you're rapping or singing on but at the same time so it doesn't overlap the vocals. That's what I used to do. Check out my songs too, They're quite good.
Hi Pete. Thanks for another great video. Your song and music and singing sound amazing! Fyi. I finally learned how to export my stems thanks to you!!! ☺️ I have another question. So ...I noticed I hear what sounds like air in the audio tracks when I record. It’s kind of like you know something was just turned on when I start recording and then turned off when I stop recording. Do you think the noise gate will help? I will try it. Also have you heard this sound before? If so, what did you do? I’ll continue going through your videos with a fine toothed comb lol. Thanks again ☺️
Hey there. Sorry for the giant delay... I just found a bunch of comments in UA-cam that were filtered from me! So, this may be some background noise or "hiss" in the recording? A noise gate will help between phrases but not when the sound is being heard. Maybe shoot me an email if you're still having issues and I can try to help? pete@studiolivetoday.com
Pete Johns Hi Pete Johns! Thanks for replying! I was using my iPhone headphones to record. I think that may have been it. I recently started using regular headphones and that seems to be working better. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks again! ☺️
sir tell me any software of ipad 2020 8th generation i am live streaming on my ipad but problem is background noise very high like fan and other please help me dear sir
Gotcha! Yes, I have some tips in my reply to your other comment that might help. And here’s a couple of videos that I would recommend to help you with this too. How to set input gain - ua-cam.com/video/smEGQq_fVfA/v-deo.html Input vs output gain - ua-cam.com/video/gQcBw5Sp1aI/v-deo.html
Hey pete i’ve got a question, can you also use this for regular garageband sounds because i’ve got some sounds that i really like but they just don’t sound clear and there are alot of noises in the background of the sound
Yup. Noise gate is good when the sound isn’t playing. Brusfri is what you need if there’s noise during the audio. ua-cam.com/video/vfRsZWmTuLc/v-deo.html
Hey there. Yes, there are a few ways to do this. This video has a few tips and more links in the description that may help you out - ua-cam.com/video/TS3lO2mgaB0/v-deo.html
Hey, Pete. I have a question, I am using BIAS FX for my guitar parts and use it as an inter-app in Garageband. The problem is, upon recording there is too much guitar feedback whenever I turn the monitor on. Do you have any idea what causes this? I hope to hear from you soon
Hey there my friend. What sort of interface are you using? Some of the older analog interfaces do introduce a lot of distortion and noise, especially when using crunchy or distorted tones. The only real fox in this case is to use a digital guitar interface like this one - ua-cam.com/video/jkAGVKOtguo/v-deo.html If you are already using a Lightning or USB interface then try turning the input gain down as this is the most common cause of issues like this.
Hi there. There isn’t really a straight replacement for Audaciry with the same plugins and features. GarageBand has some capabilities or you could try something like Auria or Cubasis.
Got it. Yes, this comes down to the quality of your recording environment and microphone/audio interface. Unfortunately there’s no easy way to remove noise from a recording once it’s in there.
Pete Johns Dang, you replied quick😂 but thank you for the feedback. I assume the best way to improve a recording space is to put those condenser pad things on the walls right?
Yeah, sometimes. But it doesn't haven't to be super fancy starting out. If you have a walk in closet or a small room that you can put a bunch of blankets or coats in, that can work really well as a makeshift vocal booth and recording space.
Hey there. It will for the sound between audio parts, but not when there is audio. It is an "on/off" kind of thing. If you want noise reduction, try this plugin - ua-cam.com/video/qo-uZGnulNo/v-deo.html
Hey there. I really like the Brusfri noise reduction plugin by Klevgrand - ua-cam.com/video/qo-uZGnulNo/v-deo.html Another option is this one from Nembrini / ua-cam.com/video/Em_xjjnb1eU/v-deo.html

Hey there my friend. I try to read every comment, and when anyone offers me a beer, I’ll definitely see it! 😅 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
South’s like the noise floor and depends on what you’re using to record. This video explains this and gives you some options. ua-cam.com/video/JVgpaJSOPP0/v-deo.html
I had recorded so many songs, and I hear this buzzing noise on all of them, why cant appel release it so that everything is set up from the start for beginers, so you can just record a normal folk song or whatever, agh, it just frustrating, I have to do it all over again, I guess I'l have to do it even better the next time, and its also to low, I tryed having earphones on while recording in one ear while I recorded, and I guess it seperates the tracks a bit more, but then the sound becomes to quiet, but garageband is very good for a beginer like me though... :) ( I have an ipad)
@@PeteJohnsMusic Hi, thanks for the replay, Yeah I should try joining the group at facebook, but I am afraid if I ask a question I dont understand, I will ask again untill they lose patience, I am a real beginer, but I guess its not like some simpsons comic book man replay so, I might, anyway I think I figuered it out maybe, the track was to quiet so I had increased the ``gain`` so it would be louder, and then it got this crackeling sound, like when you drop a mic on the floor, or sometimes on tv they have mics on there jackets and it falls off, I think I'l just recorded it, by the way you got a cool, one of a kind, good singing voice I think :-)
Not sure sorry? Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.

Love it. I actually stumbled upon this a few days ago, and -34-36db is what works on my voice too, to take out the breaths while not cutting off any beginnings or endings too soon. I love the mode of exploration and discovery instead of the desperate mode of trying to find out how to fix something. Honestly before I stumbled upon this, I was thinking I was going to have to go in and individually do volume automation points to get rid of the breathing. This is a real productivity enhancer. Another thing I stumbled upon that I don't know if you know about: If you tap a drummer track section and tap "Settings" you can double or quadruple the drummer's tempo, and vice versa half and quarter it. You can also change the velocity and even reverse it. I was playing around with a funkier version of my first Distrokid release which is really slow, 67bpm, and I knew the drums were just not right for the funky electric piano riffs I had discovered, so in my mind I thought I was going to have to create an entirely new project in 134bpm, to audition new drummers. Fun discovering productivity enhancers like this! Thanks for all you do!

Hi Pete. Thanks for another great video. Your song and music and singing sound amazing! Fyi. I finally learned how to export my stems thanks to you!!! ☺️ I have another question. So ...I noticed I hear what sounds like air in the audio tracks when I record. It’s kind of like you know something was just turned on when I start recording and then turned off when I stop recording. Do you think the noise gate will help? I will try it. Also have you heard this sound before? If so, what did you do? I’ll continue going through your videos with a fine toothed comb lol. Thanks again ☺️
Hey there. Sorry for the giant delay... I just found a bunch of comments in UA-cam that were filtered from me! So, this may be some background noise or "hiss" in the recording? A noise gate will help between phrases but not when the sound is being heard. Maybe shoot me an email if you're still having issues and I can try to help? pete@studiolivetoday.com
Pete Johns Hi Pete Johns! Thanks for replying! I was using my iPhone headphones to record. I think that may have been it. I recently started using regular headphones and that seems to be working better. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks again! ☺️
Thank you buddy

Hey there. I would suggest a decent microphone and audio interface for the best quality and low noise. studiolivetoday.com/gear
Great video
Thanks my friend. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. 👍
Can you record two mics at once on garage bend through the iPad?
Thanks bud 👋🏾
Thanks to you for watching! Hope you enjoy the other videos on the channel too.
GODLY GODLY GODLY!!! THANK YOU! I CAN PROFESSIONALLY RECORD MY FIRST SONG NOW ✋😉
👍🙏🤘
Pete Johns subscribed, liked, and hit the bell!!!
Should have mentioned that i use automatic input level and noise gate on, both settings on the main page of the microphone audio, under input!
Gotcha! Yes, I have some tips in my reply to your other comment that might help.
And here’s a couple of videos that I would recommend to help you with this too.

Hey pete i’ve got a question, can you also use this for regular garageband sounds because i’ve got some sounds that i really like but they just don’t sound clear and there are alot of noises in the background of the sound
Hey there. So, yes you can copy any audio recorder track in to a track with a noise gate and it will work the same way, so start experimenting.
Pete Johns thanks man
Any time my friend.
thanks for the bro means a lot

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
How about getting rid of the noise from recording a digital piano in stereo using an audio interface?
Yup. Noise gate is good when the sound isn’t playing. Brusfri is what you need if there’s noise during the audio. ua-cam.com/video/vfRsZWmTuLc/v-deo.html
Wow! Thanks!
Is there any way to erase background noise that plays through the actual vocal recording? My apartment overlooks a motorway!
Hey there. Yes, there are a few ways to do this. This video has a few tips and more links in the description that may help you out - ua-cam.com/video/TS3lO2mgaB0/v-deo.html
Thanks, Pete! Love your videos. You’re a hero!
WOW!!!!!! Thanks again Brother!
good shit homie
👍🙏🤘
Hey, Pete. I have a question, I am using BIAS FX for my guitar parts and use it as an inter-app in Garageband. The problem is, upon recording there is too much guitar feedback whenever I turn the monitor on. Do you have any idea what causes this? I hope to hear from you soon
Hey there my friend. What sort of interface are you using? Some of the older analog interfaces do introduce a lot of distortion and noise, especially when using crunchy or distorted tones. The only real fox in this case is to use a digital guitar interface like this one - ua-cam.com/video/jkAGVKOtguo/v-deo.html
If you are already using a Lightning or USB interface then try turning the input gain down as this is the most common cause of issues like this.
@@PeteJohnsMusic I use the 1st gen iRig. The one you connect into the headphone jack on the iPhone. I think that's what is causing the feedback?
Hi. Please let me know Audacity alternative for iOS. I require to remove background noise even while I am speaking. Waiting for a reply. Thanks.:)
Hi there. There isn’t really a straight replacement for Audaciry with the same plugins and features. GarageBand has some capabilities or you could try something like Auria or Cubasis.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thank you.:)
I’m about to test out “Brusfri” by Klevgrand, which is a plugin for. Lose reduction. Might be worth a look.
What would I do to stop the noise from happening while I'm in the middle of my vocal audio? Well actually, throughout the entirety of it.
Got it. Yes, this comes down to the quality of your recording environment and microphone/audio interface. Unfortunately there’s no easy way to remove noise from a recording once it’s in there.
Pete Johns Dang, you replied quick😂 but thank you for the feedback. I assume the best way to improve a recording space is to put those condenser pad things on the walls right?
Yeah, sometimes. But it doesn't haven't to be super fancy starting out. If you have a walk in closet or a small room that you can put a bunch of blankets or coats in, that can work really well as a makeshift vocal booth and recording space.
Pete Johns thanks for that idea. I am trying out voice acting (for a small series a youtuber is making) and I really needed help on that part!
Will this reduce the general hiss in an audio track?
Hey there. It will for the sound between audio parts, but not when there is audio. It is an "on/off" kind of thing. If you want noise reduction, try this plugin - ua-cam.com/video/qo-uZGnulNo/v-deo.html
I still hear the same static in video that I’m hearing in my song. How do I get rid of that?
This is my go to app/plugin for removing noise. ua-cam.com/video/qo-uZGnulNo/v-deo.html
Which software/DAW allows more subtle noise reduction please?
Hey there. I really like the Brusfri noise reduction plugin by Klevgrand - ua-cam.com/video/qo-uZGnulNo/v-deo.html
Another option is this one from Nembrini / ua-cam.com/video/Em_xjjnb1eU/v-deo.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic THanks! Does that work with GB?
One of my problems is when I’m recording another track it records the other tracks that are playing
Make sure you have some headphones to reduce this mic bleed - ua-cam.com/video/EcI1tPC4P34/v-deo.html
Which one is best tc helicon go guitar or Irig 2
I prefer iRig gear personally. studiolivetoday.com/gear
i tried noise gate but there’s still background noise while I sing :((
This video might help - ua-cam.com/video/TS3lO2mgaB0/v-deo.html
How do you just diminish the volume of hissing and other background moise n? Not simply on or off
This app is the best option - ua-cam.com/video/8nufEIeEDsY/v-deo.html
This is pretty good if you want a free option - ua-cam.com/video/mCxrYzkRKw4/v-deo.html
Those 12 dislike is android
Haha! Possibly. I’m comfortable that not everyone will like every video I produce. Each to their own! 👍
Not sure if you’ll ever see my comment but thanks so much your a Fucken legend! Wish I could buy you a beer mate have a good week God bless
Hey there my friend. I try to read every comment, and when anyone offers me a beer, I’ll definitely see it! 😅
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
There is a classic piano music with a lot of hissing on the background, can't remove it even with that.
Yeah bummer. Sorry to hear. Try this.

What's the title for your song
This is my song called "Six and Eight". ua-cam.com/video/eQefiGqHf4A/v-deo.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic thanks brother! I really loved your video and now I'll be sure to subscribe
When I put on my voice, listen to the sound of the backy sounds like shhhhhhh how can fix that??
South’s like the noise floor and depends on what you’re using to record. This video explains this and gives you some options.

I had recorded so many songs, and I hear this buzzing noise on all of them, why cant appel release it so that everything is set up from the start for beginers, so you can just record a normal folk song or whatever, agh, it just frustrating, I have to do it all over again, I guess I'l have to do it even better the next time, and its also to low, I tryed having earphones on while recording in one ear while I recorded, and I guess it seperates the tracks a bit more, but then the sound becomes to quiet, but garageband is very good for a beginer like me though... :) ( I have an ipad)
Hey there. I would join and start communicating with folks at the GarageBand Users Facebook group. So many talented and experienced folks over there.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Hi, thanks for the replay, Yeah I should try joining the group at facebook, but I am afraid if I ask a question I dont understand, I will ask again untill they lose patience, I am a real beginer, but I guess its not like some simpsons comic book man replay so, I might, anyway I think I figuered it out maybe, the track was to quiet so I had increased the ``gain`` so it would be louder, and then it got this crackeling sound, like when you drop a mic on the floor, or sometimes on tv they have mics on there jackets and it falls off, I think I'l just recorded it, by the way you got a cool, one of a kind, good singing voice I think :-)
Good job Pete johns
Thanks my friend. Appreciate your support as always. 👍
noise gate went away how do I bring it back this is so frustrating
Not sure sorry? Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.
Help! I can’t find noise gate on iOS
It’s there when you add in an audio recorder track by default, but you can’t actually “add” it. ua-cam.com/video/JvAMg_1enjI/v-deo.html&feature=shares
I want to get rid of it when I’m singing too otherwise it just sounds weird like on and off
Yup. I don’t use it for vocals. If you’re going to, use something like this / ua-cam.com/video/mCxrYzkRKw4/v-deo.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic thx
👍
@@PeteJohnsMusic tbh tho I think I just need a better mic because I’m recording from the built in iPhone mic which is no good for vocals
That sudden drop-off of the slamming gate is quite annoying. It needs a setting to control how long it takes to fade out.
Agree. Check out this free noise gate that does have better threshold control. ua-cam.com/video/mCxrYzkRKw4/v-deo.html
thank you! i’m trying to record myself playing the keyboard and all i could hear is my air conditioner and me breathing lol
Haha! Noise gate. An work well. Check out this one too. ua-cam.com/video/mCxrYzkRKw4/v-deo.html
Great🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
👍🙏🤘
what else would you use to reduce background noise whilse playing?
I have quite a few videos about that here on the channel. Here’s a couple.

Pete Johns Thanks a Ton man👌🏼 I recently discovered your channel! Great stuff🙌🏼
My mic is just fuzzy sounding need some help
Bummer! Join us over at the Create Record Release Facebook group. Http://createrecordreleaae.com
I used noise removal and the background is still loud and annoying
What sort of noise removal and what mic are you using? I would ask over at the GarageBand Users Facebook group if you need more assistance. ua-cam.com/video/onCBfYeckbA/v-deo.html
Is the automation better
Yes, you definitely get much better control over the track and the sound of you use automation.
What about on Mac ??
I believe the Mac version also has a noise gate option?
What’s this app name
GarageBand iOS. Available on the App Store on iPhone or iPad.
It’s free app?
Yes. Jump to the App Store and you’ll be able to see it and download it.
Done ✅ thank you
You’re welcome. I hope oh enjoy using it.
