Since I had gone through the trouble of creating rumbles from my dishwasher and dryer, I thought that I should check out the DeHum tool. Most people should get pretty good results somewhere near George’s settings. Again, for my exaggerated example, I had to tweak the click length a little longer and the sensitivity up a bit higher. The settings that George uses in the video for DeClick were a great starting point. That way, it uses less processor power to get the job done.
The noise profile method allows DeNoise to focus on removing the noise instead of spending half of its time trying to find the noise. And, it would probably work well in most situations. The DeNoise module worked best for me by recording 15 seconds of just the room’s noise, telling the module that it should “Learn from room noise only,” then choosing “Freeze noise profile.” The adaptive settings worked amazingly well considering the all the noise I was throwing at it.

I left the door to my booth open, turned on the dryer and the dishwasher, turned up the air vent for my booth to full power, and did everything that I could think of to worsen mouth noises. After seeing this, I downloaded the demo and started trying to figure it out.įirst, I made my space as noisy as possible. George’s demo is a great tour of the basics. Speaking of George, I have to thank him for turning me onto a cost effective alternative to iZotope RX - Acon Digital’s Restoration Suite. If your audio needs this kind of work, your money is much better spent hiring someone like George Whittam to analyse your studio and input chain. Since some of the most useful tools for voiceover are only in the Advanced version (Adaptive Denoise, Leveler, Loudness, EQ Match, Ambience Match), many will think they need to spend nearly 4 times as much for the Advanced version - $1200. It’s like trying to carve a turkey with a scalpel. Though RX’s tools can be run on whole files and in batch processes, they are intended to be applied to miniscule sections of an audio file. And, the tools that they will use won’t be used with the level of precision intended by the developers of iZotope RX. Most voiceover professionals will never use more than 20% of the features of the Basic version. The Basic version currently costs $349 and the Advanced version currently costs $1199.
But, being the “gold standard,” it doesn’t come cheap. But, in long form narration or audiobook work, there are times when fixing the file becomes the preferred course of action.įor a long time, the gold standard in audio repair is iZotope’s RX (currently at version 4). In short form work, the best thing that can be done is re-record. Whether we’re trying to deal with mouth noises, a persistent rumble from a furnace, a truck driving by, or the neighbor’s snow blower, there are times that we’d all like to remove an unintended noise from an otherwise perfect take.
