Noise Removal: Leave “Handlebars”

Date:2020/3/9 17:26:43 Hits:

Sometimes, noise is inescapable. If you’re recording in a noisy rehearsal studio, making a recording on a busy street or the like, background noise simply comes with the environment. Thankfully, these days software such as iZotope RX, Waves X-Noise, and other noise-reduction applications can do a fantastic job cleaning up the background noise in these environments.

However, you can make it easier for them if you leave a few seconds at both the beginning and end of your recording in which you record nothing but the ambient background noise. These “handlebars” at the beginning and end of your recording allow your noise reduction software to sample the noise at two different points in your recording, which will give it more information to analyze and result in better and more complete noise reduction. After you’ve run your software and removed as much noise as possible, you can then either trim the handlebars off of your audio file, or leave them in the file and just remove them from the audio region of your DAW.
