In 2015 I discovered my enthusiasm for music and audio I learned how to record and produce songs in my university student room with a just cheap laptop and FL Studio. Micahel Wynne is a recording artist and mixing engineer with a passion for teaching (and instant ramen). I try to share as much as I can about the industry and give an insight into the world of music production and the business behind it by showing you how to release and sell your music online.īeing an FL Studio Power User I also focus tutorials on getting the most out of FL Studio, My DAW of choice. No matter which DAW you use or what equipment you have, I’m determined to help you succeed. Tracktion 7 and Cakewalk) are even legally available for free.In The Mix is all about simplifying the recording, production, mixing, and mastering process and helping you unlock your creativity. FL Studio was recommended above and I'm also an FL user, but it's definitely not the only option for a DAW and some DAWs (e.g. Instead of Audacity (an audio editor), you're going to need a digital audio workstation, because DAWs are capable of realtime processing which is pretty necessary if you actually want to hear what you're doing.
If there is noise in the samples, it's definitely not loud enough to be audible in the full mix.ĮQing in Audacity is suffering materialized. However, I don't think you necessarily need to do that. In my experience, having a low sensitivity and 0 frequency smoothing is going to get you the best results, and the residue option is useful when previewing because it lets you listen to what you're removing from the sound (so if you only hear noise and no signal using residue, that means it's safe to switch back to reduce and render that setting).
because you're using a low quality mic which is noisy on its own, not just because your decent mic into decent preamp is picking up some of your computer's hum from a few meters away), even the noise reduction tool in Audacity can be better than nothing, but it's important to find a balance where you're getting rid of some of the noise while keeping the actual signal mostly intact, instead of trying to get rid of the noise completely and destroying the actual signal in the process. I was just pointing it out so that you could figure out what was causing it, and potentially fix it at the sample level if that's where it originated from.Īs far as noise reduction is concerned, if you have a very bad case of a noisy recording (e.g. If you mean I'm the person who told you to do that, keep in mind that I don't have any idea whether the problem I was hearing was caused by the samples themselves, it could also be the resampler or your mixing settings causing it, in which case EQing the samples wouldn't help. First you are to take the unwanted noises and noises of the samples by silencing the beginning and end of the samples (but be careful not to silence parts of the phoneme together) audacity has an effect / filter that helps in this "noise removal" select a part where just have the noise and apply the first option of the effect then select all the samples and apply the second option of the effect of noise removal, for the EQ you can also use one that comes in audacity that cons of frequencies from 100 hz down that help to remove some anomalies in case you wanted to add some filter / effect more be careful not to change the samples too much because they can distort in the utau, and also to people who do not like filter in the utau samples, A sample without noises are much better for the utau out that when well equalized almost never cause distortion in the utau, Already in covers cases it is strongly recommended that you use FL Studio, you will have a greater variety of effects to per in the voice of the utau like echo, a better equalizer distortion effects and etc.
