- Hey, I'm Mike.
And I wanted to show you how to remove background noise
in Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
(upbeat tune)
- Get involved in one of my upcoming
Audio Production Courses,
they open every couple of months for enrollment.
And I always accept a maximum of 20 students each time,
so I can provide personal one-on-one coaching
to each and every student.
If you'd like to learn more about the world of audio,
head to mrc.fm/learn.
So here we are in the sequence of Adobe Premiere Pro,
and I'm just using my internal camera microphone
to show you how it's possible to eliminate noise.
even if you're using a low quality microphone.
First, we'll go over from this sequence area here,
the Editing Workspace into the Audio Workspace
so we can work with audio.
And the first thing I'm gonna do is,
assign this as dialogue and add a preset here
to be balanced male voice.
This will increase--
- 20 students for enrollment every couple of months,
if you're interested, head over to mrc.fm/learn.
(fan whirring)
- Now, as you can probably hear,
(fan whirring)
there's a lot of background noise there, a fan going off,
all that kind of stuff.
And as you know already that good quality audio either,
but there are certain things we can do
inside Adobe Premier Pro to make this better.
We want to eliminate the fan noise.
And we also want to eliminate
maybe a little bit of the room reverb as well.
So over here in the Audio Track Mixer,
usually this display will be hidden, it'll look like this,
when you first get into it,
you just pop out of this triangle to show
and hide the Effects Panel.
And inside the Effects Panel on audio track one,
I can now drop down
and go to Noise Reduction and Restoration,
and I got some really good stuff,
but we'll want to focus on De-noise and DE-reverb,
starting with De-noise.
This is absolutely fantastic.
Once I've added that, I bring this up
and watch how it works.
So let's start off at 0% applied,
it's just a slider, really up to a 100%.
- For enrollment every couple of months,
if you're intere--
- And now if we go to the end.
- mrc.fm/learn.
(fan whirring)
- You can hear that fan noise up to 100%
and the fan will disappear.
- /learn
- Completely.
- Y'all listen to that - .fm/learn
- Gone.
- Interested head over to mrc.fm/learn.
- Already just with that De-noise effects,
amazing that what it does to your voice.
- If you're interested head over to mrc.fm/learn.
- And then reducing it again,
bringing back all of the noise in the background.
So let's put that up to maybe not 100%, maybe 40.
- mrc.fm/learn.
- And with that it has pretty much done a good job
of reducing the background noise.
Then I can go on and add the noise reduction restoration,
De-reverb effect.
And this is exactly the same setup as De-noise,
it's one slider and the further I push this over,
the more it is gonna fade out the background echo
from my room.
- If you're interested, head over to mrc.fm/learn.
- Now, of course, you're losing quite a lot of the,
the quality of the voice,
because it's doing some pretty harsh processing
on your audio.
But if you have recorded in an environment
where you've got a lot of echo
and there's not much you can do about it,
sliding up the De-reverb slider here
can make a big difference.
Let's play it back again and listen to the difference.
- Take part in one of my upcoming audio production classes,
I accept a maximum of 20 students.
- And let's also check it out on this little clap here
that I do just before I start speaking.
(claps)
So there's a clamp with a lot of echo and then up at 100%,
(claps)
It's more, it's much snappier.
(claps)
Much snappier.
(claps)
And then back down.
(claps)
So yeah, De-reverb's really good.
And what you'll notice as well,
is there's an Auto-gain going on here.
So of course the more it is editing the audio
to get rid of that reverb,
it's reducing the gain of your audio,
but with Auto-gain enabled, it's pushing it back up.
So you're not losing any amplitude on the audio signal.
So, De-noise De-reverb, absolutely fantastic
to stick on your FX Toolkit here in the Audio Workspace.
And of course, take advantage of essential sound.
Maybe even choose a preset just to make your dialogue
sound a little bit better in Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
Let me know how you get on and your experience
with De-noise and De-reverb in the comments below
