How to use Adobe Audition CS5 tools to remove individual noises from audio clips.
NOTE: CS6 has the same set of tools. CC added the Sound Remover effect which is useful when removing dynamic (changing over time) "foreground" sounds like cell phones and sirens.

Note: Soundbooth and Audition share several characteristics, including the multitrack editing workflow. With the release of CS5.5, Adobe has discontinued Soundbooth. Audition has been a stand-alone, Windows-only product for a few years. For CS5.5, it was re-engineered to make it Windows & Mac compatible and it is now included in Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium and Master Collection.

I came on here by 'accident' and stayed for the whole lesson. What a wonderful educator you are. Thank you for sharing your expertise :)

@timm_3r 10 лет назад

I came here for noise reduction but learned so much more. Excellent tutorial and thanks for sharing!

You are a lifesaver and no chit chat here and there. Straight to the point. Best Audio Noise Reduction Tutorial

@jamsprakash 11 лет назад

Thank you, Jeff. Your tutorial helped me to remove several types of extraneous noises (coughing, tuning drums during concert, etc). Your method of explaining makes it easy to understand. I look forward to your other clips.

@stocknowledge 11 лет назад

Jeff, Thank you so much for this video. You answered so many of my questions! I purchased the guidebook, but your video went way beyond it! You made so many of the step seem easy. I now cannot wait to start cleaning some of my recordings of vinyl.

@harisberbic9671 10 лет назад

Unbelivable!This tut made me happy like nothing since long time ago. Thank you infinite times Master Jeff!

@YaffleTank 11 лет назад

Thank you! This really helped me understand audio and Adobe Audition more. Your teaching way and voice are all comfortable cause i didn't get lost, annoyed by sound or bored. Thank you again. : )

@AwesomeDedrick 12 лет назад

-- Wow. I needed a quick lesson to clean-up some audio from a Canon 7D for my 48Hour Film Project, and this did it! Bravo, good sir! I'll be purchasing your Infinite Skills DVD.

@LazyPlays_ 5 лет назад

most people think your video has poor quality audio, and they might be right, but still a good video and very helpful, I like having several ways to remove unwanted audio

@JeffSengstack 5 лет назад

Thanks for the understanding. This was just one of those things that went south and I didn't have time to go back and do it over.

@bennitori4 6 лет назад

Even years later this was extremely helpful. Thank you.

@utubejeffscott 6 лет назад

You're welcome. Yep, it's been a six years.

@JeffSengstack 11 лет назад

You are welcome. The Spectral Pitch Display, new to CS6, is also a slick feature.

@armallya 11 лет назад

Jeff, Thanks for the link again went through the presentation it was very useful and I went through all your presentations, they are just made extremely well and easy to understand. I wish I can take a class on Adobe some day where you teach. Keep up the good work love your teaching style.

@JeffSengstack 11 лет назад

It depends on the noise and the frequency. All I can suggest is that you find a segment in the audio clip with no speech, only the unwanted noise, and use that segment as your noise sample.

@adamwenman8940 8 лет назад

The Auto Heal function is actually using what is known as linear interpolation rather than cross fading. It is different in the sense that Audition is removing all of the audio in that area entirely. It then uses a set of complex mathematical algorithms, partnered with some very clever psycho acoustics to predict what would have been there. In simpler terms, it looks at the sound waves and what trajectory they are on to make an assumption as to what should be there. Provided only a short area has been processed, the software is able to make a pretty darn accurate prediction as you can see here! Sorry to correct you on this one but removing audio and then cross fading is much more crude and simply wouldn't achieve results like this tutorial shows us. Great video! Thanks for posting, I know the theory and have seen it done back in uni, but have never done it in practice so, it is great to see a well made video before I go and buy my copy of Audition. Thanks again :-)

@adamwenman8940 8 лет назад

+Adam Wenman If any of that stuff doesn't make sense, please go and Google the terms. You will find the info quite fascinating. We are in a golden age for audio production and restoration and companies like Adobe are making the seemingly impossible a reality. Happy restoring!!!!

@soulcry885 2 года назад

Thanks for your easy to follow explanations, one step at a ti. It makes learning less overwhelming!

@radiomo0 8 лет назад

i went into deep hypnosis when i heard your voice!!Recognizing that voice from my non smoking cassette of like 30 yrs ago!//I'm a production guy with adobe cs6..upgrading to CC(which is how i found your super instructional vid)Keep up the great work Jeff!(by the way i still don't smoke!)TY~~~

@JeffSengstack 8 лет назад

I'm glad you still don't smoke. But neither I nor my voice had anything to do with it. 30 years ago I was a TV news reporter and not doing any voice work. Good luck with Adobe CC products.

@JeffSengstack 11 лет назад

You're welcome. I appreciate the positive feedback. Stay tuned for the upcoming release of Audition CC. It has a new Sound Remover effect that does an even better job of taking care of various types of noise.

@yaboobien1594 10 лет назад

Jeff... you are one fine master teacher answering questions completely, right when I am about to ask the next logical question, you cover it with your next statement. Thank you for helping me master this program that I use for voiceovers. I'm getting better and better with every tutorial...

@ErichNeugebauer 10 лет назад

This tutorial is absolutely fantastic. Many thanks for your time, it was a honor to watch this professional job

@helenburrow9826 6 лет назад

Thank you! You've created the clearest tutorials I've ever seen. And saved me hours of time.

@JeffSengstack 6 лет назад

You are welcome. I appreciate the positive feedback.

@JeffSengstack 12 лет назад

You can copy any selection from within the Spectral Frequency display and paste it onto another clip. If you use Mix Paste, you can replace what was there or mix it with what is there. It will be pasted wherever you have the Current Time Indicator and will be pasted into the same frequency range it was copied from.

@ruffneck718 3 года назад

Thank you so much, this was the best tutorial I seen so far on this subject matter.

@vertraeumten6027 2 года назад

by any ans, but I can make what I envision, and that's the greatest gift to . You are, without a doubt, an expert teacher. You may

@AsgarthaWitch 11 лет назад

Oh my God, a million THAAAAANK you!!! You just saved 2 of my uni assignments! I recorded a glitch and I would never have time to first record the whole thing again... FFT did the trick! BTW you got an amazing voice....

@JeffSengstack 11 лет назад

Those are individual sounds, so this tutorial should help you with them. If there is a place where you can hear the rumbling noise caused by the mic movement and there is no speech there, you can use that segment as a noise sample and use the Noise Reduction effect.

@JeffSengstack 11 лет назад

You're welcome. Good to know that the tutorial was helpful.

@bheedazzldgraphixx 12 лет назад

I TRIED EDITING A TRACK BY REDUCING THE NOISE,I SEARCHED ON RU-vid AND CAME ACROSS YOUR VIDEO.IT WORKED!:)NOW I HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM.THE BACKGROUND OF THE TRACK HAS A HIGH PITCH RING TO IT.YOU KNOW LIKE WHEN YOUR USING A MIC AND THE VOLUME IS TOO LOUD IT HAS THIS SCREECHING NOISE.THATS WHAT ITS DOING. I COULD SEND YOU THE TRACK SO YOU CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TRYING TO GET HELP ON. I WOULD RATHER HAVE A VIDEO TUTORIAL THO, SO I CAN ALWAYS REFER BACK TO IT WHEN IM IN NEED. THANK YOU!:)

@chrisl6022 9 лет назад

Thank you Jeff for all your tutorials, it helps so much to see and visualize the editing technics. Great work, much appreciated :)

@woody41165 11 лет назад

I would recommend Cedar Retouch and i think you will find that this is the best program to use. My own personal opinion is that this is the best although it seems expensive it is worth every penny.

@Eriksploration 8 лет назад

@kakikaizoku 12 лет назад

great tutorial. one of the best I've seen. It's exactly what I needed. Thank you

@JeffSengstack 12 лет назад

It depends. If it's isolated noise, that is the breath noises are not covering other audio, then you can use the Auto Heal method I described in this RU-vid video. If they are mixed in with other audio, then you might want to try to capture a noise print of a portion where there is no other sound (spoken words) and use the Noise Reduction effect to attempt to remove the noises. But the results probably won't be satisfactory since the breath noise isn't constant (it changes in volume and pitch).

@inspektor7664 2 года назад

Great tutorial! Super easy to understand!

@JeffSengstack 12 лет назад

I'm pretty sure this is a bug. The work-around is to select an area that does not include the full frequency range (if you use the Time Selection Tool, it always selects the full frequency range). In any event, after making your selection, just pull down the top of the selected area slightly. Then, I'm pretty sure the favorite will work.

@StephenArts 9 лет назад

@SomniRosae 9 лет назад

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!!! It helped me a lot with my video - I thought I would have to record it again, but thanks to your tutorial, I managed to salvage it lololol. :D

Hey Jeff ..this noise elimination has been a pain in my ass..but this is really helpful...

@cameronhunt4852 7 лет назад

If you're referring to a constant hiss or clicks and pops, you might want to listen to my other video on noise removal. The link is in this video's description.

@laserfloyd 9 лет назад

Nice video. Learned a few things. Great tool for tweaking audio and getting rid of the garbage. I get requests to make magical audio from quite sub par recordings so every bit helps.

@JeffSengstack 9 лет назад

Indeed. Sometimes sound removal/reduction feels like magic.

@RogueVideo 10 лет назад

Amazing tutorial. Thanks so much Jeff!

@DemianOleg 4 года назад

at the beginning of your video I can see you are talking about fundamentals such as *cycle*, *frequency range* - where can we learn these things?

@JeffSengstack 12 лет назад

Right-click on the clip in a sequence and choose "Edit Clip in Adobe Audition" or right-click on the clip in the Project panel and choose "Edit in Adobe Audition > Clip." Both choices create a new audio file with the word "extracted" in the file name. Use Audition noise reduction/removal tools on that file, save it, and those changes will show up in Premiere Pro.

@CanaldaLulu 9 лет назад

How would you do to remove somebody else's voice that are in the background? There is the main narration, a lady voice, but there are some male voice in lower volume at the background. Is there any specific tool to deal with it or some combination of them? Congrants about your channel it is very informative.

@JeffSengstack 9 лет назад

Canal da Lulu Removing someone's voice while other people are talking is too difficult to do with an single effect. I suggest that if the male voice pitch is way below the other voices you can cut or reduce that frequency range...but that will affect the other voices too. And you can use a limiter to drop the volume when the foreground voices are not speaking. That's all I can suggest.

@AlBergstein 12 лет назад

Nice job, Jeff. I was looking for help with some heavy wind that the dead cat didn't totally knock out, but this gives me a place to start. Love that 'auto heal' portion at the end. have you put the whole program up on Lyndadotcom? If so, I can subscribe from there.

@JeffSengstack 11 лет назад

Thanks. He had quite a nice baritone voice.

@greatstaro9255 2 года назад

your videos are sooo great i love it

@JeffSengstack 10 лет назад

To answer Pearl Park's comment: This video is about Audition CS5/CS6. Audition CC has the Sound Remover effect which is good for handling dynamic foreground sounds like cell phones and sirens.

@jascap51 12 лет назад

Question: I am a private investigator, (licensed). I interview certain people with loud music in the background. How can I lower the background music to hear our conversation better?

@calypsopainting 12 лет назад

could you say copy from one frequency and paste into the base frequency to ad the elements back in?

@MickeyDJ1 11 лет назад

Just a though about removing music in background. Could it be possible to use a clean recording of the music, if you're able to identify it, as some sort of noise print or cancellation technique? Bet they could do it in CSI. :-p

@jazrod9747 11 лет назад

Jeff. Your so good at teaching, it makes me want to quit school and learn everything from RU-vid. I watched all your Audition videos, and some of your "how to make videos brighter" etc videos. Why, they are "Sengstack"! ((i just tried to use your name as a slang word for cool))

@AFMRaposo 11 лет назад

Hello, nice tutorial , very helpfull! I have a little problem with my sound, during an interview for a documentary in wich the recorder was not used in a tripod but someone was holding it, the problem is, I can hear a lot of times some noise that looks like he is moving, like the microphone is hitting somewhere.... At the beggining I couldn't ear it, but after normalization and EQ the sound was amplified along with the voice and its pretty noticable...

@anjalis196 5 лет назад

Did you solve the issue with unwanted noise of camera...??

@JeffSengstack 12 лет назад

I posted a link in this video's description to another RU-vid video where I explain how to remove a constant noise.

@OptimalNeo42 10 лет назад

Also for problems like with the cell phone could you do a voiceover in a controlled setting to insert in there with maybe a copy of the background noise for the original track mixed in (so that it sounds original)?

@JeffSengstack 10 лет назад

Sure. But you would need enough background noise without the voice-over on it. If you don't have enough, you could use a brief clip and then lay down multiple instances in the editor panel with brief cross fades between them.

@Mistakia 9 лет назад

Hey.. I need help.. Can someone try to remove drum sounds of the Eminem's song Die Alone with Sound Remover?

@JeffSengstack 9 лет назад

Removing the drum sounds of that song is beyond the automated capabilities of Audition. And using the manual method I describe in this video to remove the sounds one at a time would be tedious and probably would not work all that well.

@piotrmancini6824 9 лет назад

Jeff Sengstack : In about 2 years (2017), Audition will have the capability of doing "Source Separation" as described here: patriot.net/~ramon/misc/About-this-Non-Negative-Business.pdf [You need to download the PDF file in order to listen to the audio clips that it contains]
