HOW TO REMOVE WIND NOISE FOR FIELD RECORDING & VOICE OVER
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- Wind noise is an ongoing threat for us when we're out on the field recording sounds and making videos. We break down 3 elements to consider with wind noise... intention, preparation, and application. Of course prevention is key, but can artificial intelligence remove wind noise?! We had so much fun creating this tutorial and we promise it's not your average "how to" video!

i guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost the login password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Merrick Lawrence instablaster ;)
@Tanner Marley i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Tanner Marley It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
@Merrick Lawrence happy to help xD
Great video! Just to explain, wind noise is the wind pressure causing the membrane of the microphone unable to react normally to the vibration of the sounds you're trying to record. Whenever you record wind noise, you're actually loosing information of the sounds you want to record. So I would say it's better to prevent it in the first place.
I usually just use a simple low cut filter on the region where wind noise occur so you don't remove the entire low end of your entire recording. You could also edit out those noise although this is usually really tedious to do. You're probably better of recording some new ones at this point which probably is the easier and faster way around 😁
I have yet to find a plug-in that gives really satisfying results, or maybe I'm just not very good at using them lol.
Hi Kacey. Great points and yes prevention is always the best. If you do it right in the beginning you don't need to process the files that hard. RX has a a De Hustle and De Wind plugin and I heard people love it. There is also Brusfri from Klevgr and W43 from Waves.
@@FreeToUseSounds Yeah, I do own RX7 and WNS. But unless it's light wind, I almost always hear some artifacts and I end up using low cut filters lol. They're great for broadband noise and precision removal though.
This was really interesting! Shows that wind noise prevention is really important, but that there are workarounds - if the wind noise is not too bad. Blending in ambients is a nice touch. Just make sure that the birds actually excist there - or it will also be strange.
Thank you for watching. But the best way is of course having wind protection :)
Thanks for all the hard work you two put in to these videos. I've found them very helpful. You guys have helped me improve my recordings so much. Also, you guys have inspired me to take me work further than I thought I could in such a short amount of time in being a sound recordist. Thanks again!
Hi Justin! That is great to hear and we hope you don't stop with sound recording. Please be safe out there, Marcel
very good class, simple, and instructional! thanks for posting!
Thank you :)
You’re the best guys! I love your channel, Thank you very much.
Thank you!!
"More lush!" :-D Love it. The format of acquiring, cleaning up, and re-applying was masterful. Great technique for cleaning up wind noise and enhancing the visuals.
Thank you again Miguel! :)
Awesome video! was super cool getting to see a bit of your editing process😁
Thank you Liam! If people like to see more of that I'm sure we can make more video like this. It's really fun and Libby makes them look very enjoyable.
Another excellent video from a wonderful team.
Thank you Richard!
That was helpful. Thx
Pleasure :)
Marcel and Libby, great content as always. Your videos are always so highly produced and well-made.
It's great to see that you work out of Audition! As someone who also uses Audition as their primary audio workstation, what is your workflow like when producing your libraries. I'm always looking to make improvements to my workflow and am curious mostly about your process getting your final files out the door.
For example, I tend to record / perform many instances of a sound into one raw file. Then, I use markers and batch processing to get the individual clips out of that Raw file and split into the individual sounds. Not sure if that makes sense, but sometimes it seems a bit overly complicated the way I do it.
Basically, I am just curious how you split up your files into the individual sounds and workflow in Audition.
Taylor Mefford Hi Taylor! Always nice to see you here and thank you for watching. It’s a great idea for a video for sure. It all depends on what I record and for how long. If I have a 15 minute long file I cut the files every 3 minutes and start editing and listening back to each individual file. Then I cut out the unwanted parts put them back together and write meta for it. Is that what you mean?
Awesome video as always! And thank you for your constant updates. You are a philanthropist in every sense of the word. Thank you for your generous contribution. You guys both look like amazing people too!
Hi Tobi! It's fun for us to share our experience with the world and its always great to connect with positive people. S Thanks for watching and we hope it could help.
Nice camera work too.
Victorfilm Thank you!
I have one question I got Portacapture x8 and I have dead cat from tascam ws-11 windscreen, how can i set my recorder or buy better windscreen? In your video about windscreens the tascam x8 was without much wind noise. My question is how do you do that is it all about post processing or windscreen?
Lov it , lov your vibes ✌️
Eager to watch the Audition process vid
Oh yes I have a video about noise reduction on the channel.
@@FreeToUseSounds post production in general. I record sounds, but don't know how to make them sound better
Super helpful guys!
So glad we could help David!
What is your favorite audio production work station or plugin to remove noise or wind?
I like your positive way. It's fun to watch your videos :) I don't use any plugin. I simply use a wind protection and a highpass filter to remove wind noise, ideally on the mic the way the distortion didn't even reach the preamp of the recorder. Greetings
@@guidogiotta Thank you Guido and you understand sound. Because that way you have the least amount of work in post. :)
I use the Rx7 by Izotope and try to EQ the unwanted sounds. Great video! Thank for the info :)
Hi Daniel! I was thinking about RX7 the other day. Maybe I give it a try.
Definitely Izotope RX7 in Pro Tools, if I can't manage to take care of it with proper wind protection and filtering first! If that doesn't work then its down to the manual editing😥 But honestly I've never had problems using RX7.
How does one actually sell sounds on Soundly? :)
Libby is a delight
She really is. :)
Everybody is talking about wind noise and mics. But what about wind noise that comes from your headphones? How do you tell apart the noise coming from your mic or from your headphones, when you record? What headphones are would you recommend that pick less wind noise up? Thank you for your wonderful reviews!!!
Well use headphones that close around my ears and that works very well.
@@FreeToUseSounds My Senheiser HD-280 Pro are close around my ears and they pick lots of wind noise up. I can't tell if the noise is from the HP or from the mic.
@@Kazbah007 I never had that issue but if you are not sure, then press the headphones harder to your ear or record for a little bit, find an area without wind and listen back. That should do the trick.
@@FreeToUseSounds Thank you.
Just found your channel love your passion for the craft! What tips could you provide for recording voice inside a motorcycle helmet at speeds? Apart from the wind noise in my testing, there is also the reverb from my voice inside the helmet. I’m trying to get the best sounding voice quality possible, what can I do??
I did this once in Thailand. I used my DPA 4060 and fixed them direct behind the shield left and right. It sounded really good to be honest. So you would need a lav.
It’s Marty McFly!
:)
Jajajaja funny! We all live with crash fear jaja
So right! :)
Thank you great video ! For dialogue it’s good solution, but how can we do with wind noise in the ambiant recording (I use the BP4025 and the Windjammer and windshield from Rycote) when recording wind sound (pretty harsh one) there is some wind noise, i don’t know if it’s the most i can get or something could make it better. In other videos, I saw you used this setup in pretty high wind and the audio was perfect, how did you do it ?
Thank you for your videos I learn a lot, keep going !
I don't use this set in very high winds. I use the Cinela Albert in harsh wind conditions but with the Sennheiser MKH 8040. Cinela has a Pianissimo version for the BP 4025. That will do the trick.
@@FreeToUseSounds thank you !
Well, can't say it is the right way to do the recording in the "windy" situation, but definitely, this could be the solution if the lazy sound man screws it up. :) Do you have the solution for winter also? :)
We normally don't go to winter regions because we don't like the cold weather but yesterday we booked a camper van for one month in Iceland for June, July. Its early summer then but still cold. So for winter a blimp, cinela is the best solution I would say.
Thanks for this. Now show us how you handle nature sound recordings please. And it would be nice to see that using Reaper as well (what i use) 😊
Hi Ronald. Nature sound recordings need way more attention, that's for sure. Okay we will go on a field recording trip record nature sounds and show the editing process. I only use Reaper for ambisonic files.
@@FreeToUseSounds~ You're the man....... and woman! 😊😊😊 Thanks
@@ronaldhoppus9015 That's us. :)
@@FreeToUseSounds I'll be on the lookout for this video about the editing process, very keen to learn these steps! Keep up the good work!
They are so cute haha
which camera is used for the video?
Hi Ken! We used the new Sony A7iii with a 35mm 1.8 Sony lens
@@FreeToUseSounds
cool, reliable autofocus. for recorder, i currently use Sony pcm M10, great preamp but no xlr. ZoomF6 would be nice to try soon.
Ken’s PAD - photo audio digital Ah that’s a great one and yes an F6 is nice upgrade.
The bird sounds are not appropriate for the scene. Maybe one bird but not constant. If there were a garden behind you then yes. With only buildings behind you I would have rather heard outdoor cafe or street vending sounds. That being said I do appreciate the general concept of fixing the muted sounds of the initial edit with some other ambient noise.
I need this...
David Griffin Cooks it’s a good plugin.
@@FreeToUseSounds I'm just conflicted though... I'd prefer a movo blimp...
David Griffin Cooks Never tried Movo.
Tonight, I joined Soundly Pro with free2usesounds code and basically got 3 months free (2 plus the 1 from the code).
(for the 12-month deal)
Awesome.
does it work for windows ?
Yes. The operating system doesn't matter. As long as you have either Audition, Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci :)
You look soooo in love :9
:)
can i have what t-shirt cool =)
photodennis76 Hi Dennis! It’s on WavKind.com but because of covid19 we are not sure if it can be delivered right now.
@@FreeToUseSounds aaaaah ok ok maybe later on =) ? have a nice day greatings from sweden
