Audacity offers a powerful and free de-clicker plugin for removing unwanted mouth sounds and clicks that show up in your audio recording. This de-clicker plugin has become part of my post-production process for everything I record. Sticky mouth sounds in our recordings can quickly become annoying to the listener. There have been instances where I have stopped watching a video simply because the dry mouth sounds were so prominent. So let's see what Audacity's de-clicker plugin can do to eliminate those pesky sounds.

Hiya, old video I know, but thought this might help some people. Default settings didn't work for me... However, I increased the setting called "Test Frequencies between"... and this seemed to work like magic, I couldn't tell any difference to my audio other than the clicks were greatly reduced. Increasing it to 3300 all but removed them. If you're at the absolute entry level for audio, I suggest adjusting that slider since it seems to work with no loss in quality, well maybe if you are an audio engineer you'll hear the difference, but I honestly couldn't tell.

@TwoMarshmallows1 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for the tip, I'm going to try this!

@MaximilianKohler Месяц назад

The default is "between 150 and 9600". You changed it to "3300 to 9600"?

@DesktopFolder 2 года назад

WOW, this is the freest jump in audio quality I've had for a while. Incredible plugin, the results are so good - thanks for sharing this. So much easier than manually compressing small clicks..

@nagesharas5136 2 года назад

Thanks for this valuable tip! BTW at 4:30, you mention _"...after these plugins are enabled..."_ . As a newbie, I did not know how to enable plug-ins. But I found that I have to use the *Effects > Add/remove plug-ins...* menu. A dialog pops up, and it allows us to enable and disable all plug-ins. I hope this comment will be useful to other newbies like me.

@LearnAudacity 2 года назад

That's where you enable them. Good job!

It`s embarrassing how few news-shows in my country use this de-clicking. This should be a standard procedure. Thank you for this video!

@jonathandill3557 2 года назад

Thank you 🙏🏻 This looks more effective than what I was doing. I was using Noise Gate and that mostly worked for me especially after I switched to a dynamic mic and practiced not closing my mouth completely between phrases. However, it still required some manual cleanup and seemed to have some undesirable side effects.

Just saved me a huge headache! The only other plug-in I had found at this point for delicking effortlessly was an izotope suite for around $1,100. And I did not have the time to hand draw the edits in Logic Pro for this client mix. Took me a few minutes once I downloaded and installed. Life saver! Who would’ve thought that the very first audio editing software I used from back in 08 would come back to save the day! Thanks a bunch

Holy Moly! Wow! I did a number of things to reduce mouth clicks by keeping my mouth open, chewing gum before recording, and staying hydrated. Repositioned my mic. All of this helped. But when I applied this effect it removed 99%. This was the last thing I needed. Thank You!

@NarcissisticAbuseHealing Год назад

Thank you. Just finsihed a recording while having a cold and there are so many mouth noises i thought i would not be able to use the recording. Ran the de clicker and it cleared up most. Where there were still some left, i ran the de clicker again only for that word or sentence and it cleared those up as well. Saved me needed to redo a whole recording that i would not be able to do today due to a hoarse voice from the cold.

@LearnAudacity Год назад

Thank you! This was immensely helpful! I also noticed a de-breath among your tools. What kind of de-breather do you use/recommend?

@LearnAudacity Год назад

I've never had much success with that plugin. But I haven't given up on it yet. Waves has a couple of plugins that help with breath removal. Their NS1 Noise Suppressor can help and their DeBreath plugin. But until VST is supported in Audacity's realtime effects, both are destructive.

Audacity 3.1.2 as of February 17, 2022. Thanks for this video and the links. I have installed both plugins. Can't wait to try them. My problem is that I am remote voice tracking song breaks for a radio station and I can't use audacity to clean up the voice tracks "post production". I am now wearing dentures and the mouth noise is really noticeable in the voice tracks. What would you suggest for eliminating mouth noises in "live" mic situations? Think Nancy Pelosi.

@andrewpatterson6870 2 года назад

This was really helpful--thank you! What do you suggest for a longer track, say an hour in length? Do you recommend running De-clicker in 5-minute segments so the effect doesn't time out? Also, I've noticed that some d and t endings of words like "kept" and "timed" are chopped off when I run the De-clicker Default setting. Any ideas about which Default Action should be adjusted to prevent this from happening? Thanks again!

@LearnAudacity 2 года назад

Taking smaller chunks is probably a good idea for something that long. Maybe 15 minutes at a time? As for the cut-off, maybe try adjusting the last option on the dialog screen (Repair Intervals) up or down. But I've never messed with that so be careful.

When editing, I start with the noise reduction to get rid of the "room", then some EQ, then some compression. Where in that run of processing do you think I would get my best results with the de-clicker?

Before EQ and maybe again after compression.

It's a memory-hungry plugin and consumes a lot of CPU cycles. You might try using it on shorter segments instead of an entire track.

I really appreciate your time and thank you!

@LearnAudacity 2 года назад

Hello Andrea, you'll need to download it first and then install and activate it. Here are the steps: 1) download it at forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=245549#p245549 - It's about halfway down the page. Remember where you put it. 2) Open Audacity and go to Tools > Nyquist Plug-in Installer. Browse to where you saved the plug-in and select it. Click OK. 3) Then go to Effect > Add/Remove Plug-Ins. In the dialog window, make sure "All" is selected and scroll down to the De-Clicker plug-in and click once on it, then click Enable. Now you should see it in the Effect drop-down list, toward the bottom, after the divider line. Let me know if that helps.
