In this video, I am going to give you a QUICK demo of Rosa's 4 Easy steps to Clean up any audio files. The more you do this, the more professional you get. When you see how easy these 4 steps are, you would wonder why you were never told it is that easy to clean up background noise.

Now that you have been following my series, I do not need to go into details of the settings for each step. You can just go and refer to them to understand the mechanics. I also won't need to explain to you the different settings as they have been explained in the tutorial series.

This video is not very long. I show you from beginning to end how I clean up audio files for my clients. I use these 4 steps and my clients are very happy with the result.

So your take away is that you need to know that Cleaning up background noise of Audio Files with audacity is not Rocket Science. Nor do you need to pay for a person to do it for you. The person most likely just use these 4 steps that I use to clean up 'basic' audio files.

Of course, you can always spend time to clean up the echoey sounds, the hollow sounds, the popping sounds. But all these are done 'after' you have done these 4 basic steps of cleaning up the background noise that I am showing you in this video.


Step 1: Get Noise Profile

Step 2: Remove Noise

Know This Tip - Highlight the Entire Audio Strip in Step 2 - Use Control A - Watch the 00:41

A lot of my students always forget to highlight their entire strip after they get the noise profile.

Notice only a portion of the audio gets cleaned up.

You must highlight the entire audio strip!

Use Control A for this step


Step 3 - Compress

Step 4 - Normalize

That's it!

It is not complicated at all.
