hello friends today i'm going to show you how to change your sound from something like this
horrible echo static noisy mess of a noise to something like this which hopefully for the
sake of this video actually sounds a lot clearer without this weird static noise all you need is
one simple easy to use program called audacity or order city however you want to say it and of
course it is completely free like everything i use on my channel because i don't pay for anything and
i'm not yet sponsored by epidemic sound all right let's jump into the tutorial so the first thing
you want to do is actually when you are filming when you're recording your video you want to
well just be quiet and stop talking so you want to record the room tone is what it's called you want
to just essentially record the pure noise without you talking so whatever it is whether it's the
static noise the noise off the room your noisy neighbors dogs barking whatever noise you want
to remove you just want to record a few seconds of that and just have it sort of as like an empty
track almost um i've just put that in the beginning of my video here and then i've edited
the rest of the video as it's going to be um well this part so far anyway and then all you want to
do whatever program you're using is just export this but just the mp3 file because that's all
you really need so let's just call this audio city tutorial and then just export that
then we've got order city open already and we'll just click and drag the file into order city and
you can see at the beginning of this track where it's like the the silent part it's not totally
silent you can see there's a bit of wibbly wobbly on this line which means there's some
sort of background noise some static if it was completely silent it would just be like a pure
flat line with no wibbly wobbly bits i don't know what you call them so what we're going to
do is just click and drag this first part here to select that and then go to effect and go to
noise reduction and click get noise profile now the program or order city has
got the selection of this noise that you want removed from the whole track
so we'll just tap here to select the whole track and then again go to effect noise reduction again
and this time you're going to pay attention to the levels at the bottom here
i am not an expert on this um this is just what i've worked out works well for
well for this specific track but what i think is that you want to keep these levels at the
minimum that you can where they are still effective so where the noise
will still get completely removed but you don't want the levels too high because
it will like ruin your whole audio track and it will sound really tinny and echoey but there
is a kind of fix for that which i will get to in a moment so if we just click ok here
you can now see the beginning part the line looks like a pretty straight flat line which means it's
pretty much silent but because of the noise reduction it's kind of made it a bit tinny
so another thing you can do is go again to effect and this time go to base and treble and here
i just increase the bass a little bit to five decibels and reduce the treble to minus five
now again i'm not like a musical audio expert but i know that bass is essentially like making the
sound a bit deeper and treble is like reducing that tinny whiny sound so just click apply
and then you want to close this don't apply it again and then that should be you know pretty much
perfect as it gets so we'll just go to file export and export as mp3 then go back to your
editing program and click and drag the new audio file in and just drag it to the timeline and then
what you want to do is of course like mute all the original clips whatever they were
and of course like cut off this um beginning part where it was just the empty sound so we can delete
those two clips and then voila it should be done and it should sound good you know the drill by now
