2:48 - "As we can hear, it's a nice, crisp audio file."
There was no background noise to begin with.

When following the directions in the video, I would always end up with an unusable file. And the reason is that while it DID reduce the noise, it also made the vocals sound tinny, or under water. To prevent this I found that using a Noise Reduction (db) level of about 34 and a Sensitivity of 1.50 did the trick.... all hiss or background noise is GONE, but also no tinny sound. While this may seem counter intuitive and flies in the face of the settings (and why) in the video, it did the trick.... and that is what matters. I am posting this just in case others ran into that problem. Cheers!

At 1:42, I think you are mistaken. O dB noise reduction would be NO reduction. All the way to the right would be max in this case.

[raymondleung]

So I was playing around with the slider for Noise Reduction and noticed that at 0 the background noise remain unchanged, and at 48, the background noise completely disappeared. Around 1:22 you talk about how the lower the value, the more the background noise will be reduced, and the higher the value, the more prominent the background noise will be. I believe it's the opposite, as in the higher the value, the more the background noise will reduce.

Great video though. This was really helpful :D

Wow! I am 60 videos into YT and I used to use this incorrectly to remove 'silence' from my audio, and i used to cut out the background noise and breathing manually by fading in/out every segment between speech. This has cut my work down by alot, thank you!

[ZyphiriaIRL]

Omg, thanks a lot! I wanted to figure this out because my PS4 Is literally a jet engine!

[dumbodonkus]

Thank you so much. So simple straight to the point, no intro that’s long or anything. Thank you

[CozyChicken]

Thanks a bunch it worked for me. It doesn't even need a studio microphone. Your headphone's mic also works with this!

[lauraliptrot]

Thank you so much :D I've spent hours trying to find a good tutorial for getting rid of background noise, I followed this and now my sound clip is near perfect! Thank you xxx

[kristinahristova]

You are simply a life-saver! I am a BA Journalism student in my final year, and I had to make a podcast about the lockdown, with home equipment. Thank you!

[musicandperformanceniagara]

Thanks so much! This cleaned it all up! U Rock, Cheers!

[aerodynamichotdog]

god damn man you saved my podcast. you are the best

[RanbirSingh-depy]

Perfect explanation. Thanks, Dusty. Your explanation was very helpful in cleaning up my audio files.

[jpedrovianna]

7 years later and still saving someone's life. thank you so much!!!

[TheSaintUkraine]

Your video was very helpful! I have some pretty bad background noise, and though the noise reduction effect doesn't remove all of it, the results are good enough for me.

[Hidden_V_Treasures]

After checking so many videos on how to eliminate the background noise, this is the first and very accurate one that explains exactly that!! Great video, short and straight to the point. Well done!!

[techstuff]

Wow thank you so much, I was attempting to do it myself without guidance and I thought I needed to buy a new mic. But following this it has helped a lot!

[The_Sock_]

Perfect!!!! This is exactly what I was looking for, instantly subbed, thank-you so much!

[gamestackro]

FINALLY! Good explanations ! Thank you ! It's like 10th video watched to find out the perfect settings for this effect

[aaryamannsharma]
