Noise reduction & restoration
Likewise, a low-pass filter allows the lows to pass through the filterunaffected while the high frequencies are attenuated or removed, starting from Skills covered in this course Audio + Music Audio Effects Audio Foundations Mixing Music Production.
The Audio Low Pass Filter passes low frequencies of an AudioSource or all sound reaching an AudioListener while removing frequencies higher than the Cutoff Frequency. Most people can’t hear much below 100Hz, so producers often set a high-pass filter there without changing the listening experience. Set a low-pass filter for the same reason, but avoid setting it below 4000Hz and cutting some clarity from people’s voices. Learn more about editing audio in Audition. A low-pass filter (LPF) is a basic type of spectral effect. It reduces the amplitude of high frequencies, but allows the low frequencies to pass through. Studying how a LPF works and how it is implemented provides a foundation for learning about all types of spectral effects. Low pass filter(LP): passes the lower frequency and cuts the higher frequencies. Ex: for vocals above 10000hz it’s cuts Narrow band pass filter/ telephony: 350-4000hz here only the vocals of human to avoid background noise.
De noise:
simple just move the slider to 0-100% to reduce amount of sound.
Enable output Noise only: listen only the noise level useful to cut the noise.
Then apply gain to get actual value from reduced lower sound.
Pros: simple just like noise reduction technique in other softwares like audacity.
Adaptive noise reduction: (more parameters)
standard noise reduction only for post processing, not for live processing, so adaptive noise reduction must for live podacasts or streaming games.
Note: it’s realtime processing so need little bit extra cpu power otherwise delay due to heavy processing.
Reduce Noise By: 6-30db better, 20db by default,
Just it substract the noise. (you can monitor it while adjusting)
Noiseness: it’s indicates amount of noise in original audio.(so we can reduce accordingly)
Fine tune noise floor: manually adjusting it above or below the automatically calculated noise floor.
Signal threshold: manually adjusting desried audio level above or below the automatically calculated threshold.
Special decay rate: how quickly drops to 60db
Baseband preservation:
Saving frequency of vocals helps to boost audio quality. (Need to know about equalization)
FFT SIZE: length of frequency band. Or how many individual frequency bands are analyzed.
Processing focus:
High frequency focus
Mid frequency focus
Techniques for restoring audio
Sound Remover effect
Automatic Click Remover effect
Click/Pop Eliminator effect
DeReverb effect
Hiss Reduction effect (Waveform Editor only)
Fliter and Equalizer
FFT Filter Effect:
Fast Fourier Transform an algorithm quickly analyzes frequency and amplitude of sound wave.
Low Pass Filter Audio
High pass filter(HP): Passes the high frequency and cuts the lower frequencies.
Low pass filter(LP): passes the lower frequency and cuts the higher frequencies.
Narrow band pass filter/ telephony : 350-4000hz here only the vocals of human to avoid background noise. Telephone uses this spectrum.
Notch filter: to remove precise frequency low 60hz, monitor it just up& down , find a noise in a specific range, then use notch filter and drag drop to remove entire sound.
Tradeoff between frequency and time accuracy.
Lower reduced transient artifacts
Parametric Equalizer in Adobe audition
Q/width: controls width of the effected frequency,
High q value effects low range frequencies (ex 100hz)
Q value which is a ratio of width to center frequency
Amplitude & compression AU
Noise gate effect: stops the noise below noise threshold (ex threshold,-30db then it only passes above threshold db like -29 )
Expander: just like compressor, but it compress the lower noise ex: threshold -30 db compress ratio 1:2
Then 30db becomes 15db if ratio 1:10 30-3db= 27db.
compressor: compress the above limit threshold .
Then compressor threshold limit is -10
attack time: wait before compressing after reaching threshold
Ratio = 1:2 , before total db level to -1db. Now it’s -5db.
Because it’s compressed remaining 10db into 1:2 ratio means half then 10 becomes 5.
Gain: after compressing the noise level reduces we can apply some gain to -6,-3 or -1 db.
Normalisation: boosting lower level audio signals upto peak level audio signal.(make sure to completely reduce background noise)
Ex: audio track has -15 db , and -10db – 6-db -3db.
When we apply normalisation . All audio singals gained to upto -3db it’s a peak in audio track.
Before applying normalisation make sure to cut excessive wave lengh. So the audio track is innsame wavelength.
Presets: -1db more than -1db or 0 distortion or in bearble sound.
-6 mostly use for voiceovers
-10db some people use it for quite voice but not recommended.
Equalization: plays vital role to remove unnecessary noise based on frequency.
attack & release time
Determines how many milliseconds it takes for the output signal to reach the specified level
(to avoid unnecessary processing at short sudden changes )
Determines how many milliseconds the current output level is maintained
To see good attack and release times for different types of audio content, choose various options from the Presets menu.
Fast attack & release time for drums, music instruments.
You can know by just doing post processing audio. To see how much time the audio at peak level.(it’s a art)
Hold time:
Dynamic processing
Level meter & gain reduction meter:
This works by compressing lower & higher audio signals. To maintain a level.
(Noise reduction done by expander, loudness reduced by compressor, also added bandwidth/frequency specific processing)
Dynamic effects:
Compressor: reducing peak voice with certain ratio
Expander: reducing lower threshold with certain ratio
Limiter: totally reducing noise level for a specific threshold.
Hard limiter effect:
Maximum amplitude:
Input boost: before cutting the audio, we pre amplify the audio to avoid audio clipping.
Look ahead time/ attack time: time to wait
Determines how quickly starts
Release time: time to release back to normal.
Determines how quickly compression stops after reaching normal.
Multiband compressor effect
just like parametric Equalizer it’s also a good & advanced effect to process audio frequently.
Main: compressing at band or frequency specific.
3 bands
Mid: 2k
5bands (not a scientific values)
Low mid: 100-500
High mid 2k to 10k
(select bands by either manually entering frequencies or presets and edit later)
Vocal frequencies at 80hz to 10k
Voice Fundamentals falls beween 80-300hz
bypass: ignore the band
Input level meter:
gain: 4db (boost or cut +4db or -4db)
attack: 10ms
speech volume leveler effect
Apply Low Pass Filter In Audition
compression effect that optimizes dialogue, evening out levels and removing background noise.
Target volume level (db):
Low settings: amplify speech slightly without boosting the noise floor.
High settings: amplifys entire signal as it drops to close the noise floor
Boost low signals: shorter & low volume passages (for most speech content, skip this for smooth audio)
Minimizes background noise while amplifying and leveling speech content.
ex: -45db to -60db
higher: upper -85db greater background noise but lower amplitude & leveling.
lower: (down -30db) higher amplitude & leveling but background noise also boosts.
Advanced settings:
compressor : maintains strong signal by gain if processed signal falls .
Adobe audition ideal effects for live streaming & podcast
virtual audio cable or (voice meter banana ,fl studio)
sound card to audition >> virtual cable inout device>>obs.
adobe audition effects:
Noisegate if through vst plugins (optional).
enable high pass filter: to remove background noises
Use presets: like vocal enhancer or cusomize and save as preset.
Tip: vocal frequency 100hz – 10k even lower 400-4000hz
Denoise simple: just reducing amount of noise by 0-100%
still not reduced , windows>>sound settings>> input device level (dercrease) input device boost(reduce)
if mixer& interface: reduce gain.
Adaptive noise.
automatically adjusts between ranges dynamicai, unlike static denoise.
Multiband compressor:
if you unfamiliar with multiband just use tube modelled compressor
we its reduces above threshold in a certain ratio.
More than -1db unbearable sound.
speech leveler (option)
