That's a great help Joe. Most of my painting videos involve a voiceover of some sort. De-essing is always something I've had problems with, but that's cured it. Thanks 👌
Will give this a shhhhot tonight. All this engineering stuff has had a steeper learning curve than I was ready for when I started down this path. Anything that makes it easy is greatly appreciated.
@@joeessayvoice I dig that tool. It's super easy to use. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending), nothing I've recorded recently has had a great deal of sibilance. I'll put the tool through its paces when I record something that does. What I noticed instead was a kind of whistling R sound in some words. That may just be a Me thing.
The newe versions of Audacity have a live effect support. You don't have to apply the filter as before. Just click the Effects button on the left side of the track and add an effect (like the De-Esser) and you can dial it in while listening and change it anytime later. And you can even stack effects.
hello, thank you so much for this video, obviously have a talent how to give information in an easy and clear way....may be you can also recorder how to make broadcast effect in audacity?
Hi. Thank you. I admit being rubbish, but in case anyone else has the issue....After I downloaded the de esser I tried in vain to find it. I had enabled it . When YOU clicked on "effects" you got a long drop down list and it was there. MY drop down list was much shorter and it did not show the de-esser at all, despite restarting Audacity and computer. Then I noticed that on MY audacity drop down list there was a new box near the bottom called "Muse". I opened THAT box and the de esser was in there. Phew! Maybe you have made the Muse Box the default box to open when you hit "effects"? . Anyway; Great video, thanks very much. Now to try it out. ! If I thound like thith itth all gone wrong! :)
Hi Joe!What would be super helpful is knowing 1) what I can do to reduce reverb in my Mexican concrete and tiled recording space (for my podcast). Is there a way to reduce the 'bathroom" sound? 🤣 pillows aren't helping! and 2) is there a good way to ensure that my levels from podcast to podcast are the same? I would like to save my listeners' ear drums if possible...
Great video -- you got me set up from zero to enabled. Here's a problem you could address: When I hit record on Audacity and record my voice, there is a hum in the background. I don't have that problem when recording in QuickTime. I couldn't find a "Hum reduction" effect. Why does this hum arise in the first place? Are there settings I should optimize before voice recording? If not, how do I get rid of the hum? I'm a newbie so please make the video as easy to follow as this one :-)
Use the noise reduction. Select a section that only has the hum, open the noise reduction filter and press the button at the top. Now select the whole track, open the filter again and now 'apply'.
I'm a little confused when you brought in the Muse site. It appears what you're suggesting is - rather than D/L Audacity from that company's website, instead, go to MUSE and not only D/L Audacity from them, but also the effects? In my case, I updated to the latest version of Audacity (3.4.2) three weeks ago from the Audacity website. So does that mean I can just go to MUSE and grab the Effects....OR is it a combination package that I can only get from MUSE?
You can download audacity from the audacity website no problem. I was trying to kill 2 birds with one stone and have folks download it straight from Muse so that it would just be easier to get the effects. If you already have Audacity, just go ahead and get Muse, which will allow you to go get those effects. Does that make sense?
So in my haste to try this cool new thing out, I exported the audio I was working on (which had two tracks). Then I closed audacity and then it showed the new De esser, yay! But when I grabbed my audio file to try it out the two audio files had merged into that one save and now I have an overlapping audio.... is there a way to fix this or do I have to re record the entire audio again? HELP!
Noise floors can be a bear! Send me some samples of your audio and I’ll see if I can give you some tips! Give me: 1. A sample of just your room at your default recording level. 2. A sample of you narrating a script “30 is seconds 3. A full description of your signal chain (equipment setup) 4. A full description of your room. My contact is in my site: joeessay.com
This looks like a cool tool. I have an older Mac that runs OS X. The new version of Audacity doesn't work with this version. Can I still get the De-Esser for my version of Audacity (3.0.4)?
I don’t know if this one would work, Greg. But there’s nothing wrong with giving it a try! If it doesn’t work on your older Mac, let us know here on the thread so we can all know. As a backup, I made a video about another deEsser that should work for your older version here: DeEsser For Free In Audacity! (Put on your good headphones!) czcams.com/video/rXNns6FKBOU/video.html Good luck!👍

That's fantastic David! I'm glad you were able to put it in place and fix up your VO!

That was exactly what I needed!! Thank you so much. I had no idea Muse had these effects for Audacity.
Fantastic Sue! It's amazing what they have now isn't it!?
THIS IS WHAT I'VE NEEDED THIS ENTIRE TIME! THANK YOU!
I've been waiting to help you THIS ENTIRE TIME! Thanks MasterEth!
Thanks for convincing me for using the de-esser from Audacity. Really helped improve my audio quality in my videos!
Your audio quality is the best I’ve heard all week! Had to subscribe
Thanks so much! That’s what I strive for!
I'm falling in love with you..... Thank you so much for saving my hiney on my podcast!
Thank you for your help!
Thank you for tuning in!
Obrigado pela dica. Vou usar imediatamente.
Obrigado por assistir! Estou feliz que tenha sido útil!
So easy to take down sibilance, thanks! This combined with a limiter and I feel like the energy of vocal dynamics is properly preserved :)
Very heplful, thank you!
thanks, you are amazing:)
Naaaaah… You’re amazing!
Thanks for the easy overview. I used it on the latest episode of my podcast, Family Proclamations.
That's awesome @liveonaplate! I'm going to go have to check our your podcast!
Dude! You are awesome! I've been using Audacity for years and this video taught me a ton. Any chance you have a video on best settings for podcasting?
I’ll try it this week. Thanks for this video, greetings from Poland 🤭
Fantastic nnkarm!! Let me know how it goes!
Thank you so much you've made my day! love from England! cheers mate!
you just saved my youtube channel bruv thank you so much

Hi Joe, I can't seem to find this filter any longer. Was it bundled into a paid plugin?

Got a video, like this, for plosives?

how did you get the muse tap on the top?
Having a hell of a time with my noise floor it is always around 65 ish and I can not fathom how to get it to 60 for ACX thanks :0)

Can anyone do this for Mac please? :(
