 Hey everyone welcome back to a brand new freedom tech tips video guys today I'm going to be showing you how to remove background noise from your audio when you're making videos I'm also going to be showing you how to remove background noise in general let's say if you're in a discord call and we're going to be using discord as the example for this one if you're a gamer out there you'll know that most of my tutorial centers around how to make your gameplay videos better in Premiere Pro things like audio and editing so going by that logic you're probably going to be using discord as well whether that's for business calls or just gaming with your friends and I'm going to show you how to remove that background noise when you are in these conversations so first we are going to be starting with discord so what you want to do is you want to come on over to discord and you want to go to your settings icon and then just click on the voice and video on the left hand side just there and you'll notice you've got a whole array of options um so what I'm going to do first of all for you guys is I'm just going to show what the audio sounds like right now so I'm going to do a let's check and see those yellow bars they're flickering without it picking up any other noise so I'm going to stop the test there so there's a couple things there one my voice was cutting out quite consistently and two there were yellow bars even when I wasn't even speaking meaning that it's actually picking up white noise so what you want to do is you want to reduce your volume this is your input volume so this is how much your mic will actually pick up I reduced my to 70 percent uh this seems to work really well for me so we'll just do a check right now okay so we're not getting any audio bars but my voice is quieter so with that said I'm now going to show you a handy tool that discord actually implements into their audio system if you look down here guys under the advanced option you've got noise suppression and it uses a side company called crisp and crisp is a really really well known company they have paid for services on their website whereby you can implement software to actually reduce the noise completely uh if you're in other voice calls and things like that um but with discord it automatically has it built in so you don't even really need to pay for it so what you want to do is you want to click on noise suppression then just switch that on and then if we do a let's test on a hundred percent so I'm going to go back to max now even though it says that it's not detecting my audio it still actually is so ignore that message but you are hearing me perfectly fine and all the background noise has been completely removed which I think is absolutely incredible discord is a really really great tool to use for this so yeah now let's move on to premiere pro so guys I have premiere pro loaded in the background just here and I've already got my sample audio in so we're just going to listen to that right now hey everyone hope you are all having a great day today guys welcome back to a new freedom tech tips video so what you can hear in the background is my tumble dryer my computer is actually in the kitchen which is not the most ideal place to have a computer set up especially when you're uploading daily content like what I am so yeah we want to get that out we I don't want my viewers to hear a tumble dryer in the background I want people to hear a nice crisp audio with none of that very very easy techniques so guys what you want to do is you want to click on audio tracker in the top left hand corner now if you don't have that just click on window and then on window just click on the audio meters and then it will pop up for you see yeah you want to head on over to audio tracker there'll be an arrow just on the top left hand corner click on that as you can see you've got four different tabs here you want to use the first tab because our audio is on the audio one line so it's on line one so we're going to go to tab one so it all sinks together and just above this black bar we are going to click on the drop down arrow and just next to that it will say noise reduction and restoration just head straight on over to noise and now I'm going to put that up to 60 percent so I've been doing this a very very long time so I already know the baseline that I look for if I can hit 60 percent that'd be brilliant there we go so I know that 60 percent works absolutely fine for me it may sound a little bit weird when you play your audio at first now the reason why it does this is because the noise suppression wants to recognize the difference between the audio that you want to hear which is your voice and the audio you don't want to hear which is the background noise so the reason why it sounds a bit weird at the start when you play your audio is because it's just the noise reduction trying to calculate the difference between the two and then eventually your audio as you keep playing it goes back to normal once it's completely justified the difference between background noise and your audio you won't experience the issue of your audio sounding weird when you come to exporting it so I'm going to play that at first and like I said you will hear that little bit of weirdness but it will adjust hey everyone hope you are all having a great day today guys welcome back to a new freedom tech tips video as you can see that has dramatically absolutely dramatically remove the background noise and in discord that noise was actually completely gone as well so one thing I always like to just make sure is obviously when I'm recording a video I do obviously switch off the appliances I make sure there isn't anything running at all in the background because obviously I want to give you guys the best quality that I can just like I'm doing right now so examples like this just wouldn't happen in my case but this is a very very good example for you guys to show you exactly how you can remove the background noise in case you're in a situation whereby you cannot remove it at all one thing I will show you before I end the video completely is at the very top of premiere pro you have a audio button you click on that one and just on the right hand side you have a blank area and the reason why it's blank is because you haven't actually selected on any audio so if I click on my audio right here bang these things suddenly light up so you have a preset I recommend going to preset dialogue and then just head in hitting default that gives you a bunch of options now if very much depends on what type of room you're in if you're in a large room they have presets for large rooms if you if you're in a small room they have presets for small rooms they have a male voice here so I'm going to click on balanced male voice and then see what that sounds like I've not actually tried this before if it's dramatically better than great for me but if it's not I'm just going to stick with my original not noise reduction so yeah let's just see what that sounds like hey everyone hope you are all having a great day today guys I actually prefer the original I won't lie to you so so for me that wouldn't actually work but for you guys in your rooms in your situations that actually might be a good tip for you I just wanted to show you that because it's there and it's great for you guys to play around with it because one of these presets might just do the job for you instantly rather than you having to manually do it and look at all these percentages like what I originally do so I'm going to go back to default and then just listen to that one more time hey everyone hope you are all having a great day today guys welcome back to a new freedom yeah I prefer that that is much much better and like I said that isn't even really what my audio would sound like in my videos anyway because I would switch off all of these appliances I just had that as an example for you guys you guys see exactly what to do in those situations guys I really hope you enjoyed this video I hope it's really helpful for you and I'll see you in whichever video I next make guys if you want to see more of me head on over to my channel Brad Han I'll leave a link in the description this video and yeah take care guys
