1. Trailer- How to Record audio Professionally ( without background noise ): Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my full master series on how can you reduce background noise from the content or how can you record your audio professionally. With the help of this lecture series, you will be able to reduce all kind of background noise from the content, and also I will teach you some basic concept related to audio recording. I will help you to achieve good crisp and clear audio quality. This is a proper master class for sound recording. Actually, in my room, there is a lot of background noise present. That's why I can understand the problem of content creator. This is a sort lecture series which you can complete in only one day. It is a crash course, but also it is a master class of sound recording. This lecture series will not take your important time. Let's finish this lecture series. 2. How we will Improve audio in this series ?: Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my full master series on how can you record your audio without background noise? Or how can you improve audio quality for your specific content? Okay, so we will learn all of this thing in the single lecture series. So my name is Anki Sirota and I'm your instructor. So let's start our video. Okay. Suppose you have recorded your video in four key quality, but if it has poor sound quality, then anyone will not watch that video. This is a true. But, but on the other hand, if you have recorded your video in poor quality, but if it has crisp and clear sound quality, then anyone can easily watch that video. Okay. So according to me, audio quality is more important than the video quality. Okay. Obviously, both the things are important in field of content creation. Okay, both things are important. But audio quality is more important than the video quality. Actually, a few days ago, I encountered with same kind of audio quality issue with my content because I present in a such room where a lot of background noise present. Okay? There is a lot of background noise present around my room. So whenever I start my video recording, my mic automatically capture the sound of dogs, cat, and other disturbing elements. Okay. So it was most frustrating moment of my life. Then I searched on Internet. How can we remove all the background noise from the content? So I found one solution, which is NVDA Broadcast software. So if you have NVDA GPU, then you can easily remove your background noise. Okay. But this lecture series is not associated with NVIDIA Broadcast software. Okay? Because I want to target large audience. Okay. Actually, I want to cover those people who don't have NVIDIA GPU, okay? If you have NVDA GPU, then you can go with NVDA bootcas software. It can remove all the background noise from your content. So after doing lots of research, I found one solution, which is crisp AI. So with the help of Crisp AI, you can remove background noise and you can enhance your audio quality in your content. Okay. Basically, what we will do, we will use AI in our recording software. Suppose we are recording our video in OBS like this. Okay. So what we will do, we will go on McSexon McSettingSexan, go on property. And from here, I can select Crisp Microphone, which means Crisp AI. Okay. So all of this thing we will learn. Suppose you are recording your content with any other software, then also you can do same thing. You can go on Mc setting section and you can identify Crisp. Okay, so we will discuss all of this thing later on our series, and also we will learn audacity. Okay, so with the help of C AI, we will record crisp and clear sound quality, and we can further improve it with the help of audacity. Okay. And the next video would be the sample lecture for audio quality, which you will achieve after completing this lecture series. Okay. So next video is our sample video, which you will achieve after completing this series. Okay, fine, so I will see you in the next lecture. Okay, bye bye. 3. Sample video of final output: So this is a sample audio quality, which you will achieve after completing this lecture series. So if you are a content creator, then audio quality is must. It can increase your audience retention or watch time because crisp and clear audio quality holds your audience to watch the videos. In order to achieve similar audio quality, just what do you have to do? You have to watch all the videos and make sure that you will not skip anything. So let's complete this lecture series. 4. Basic Concept related to audio recording: Hello, everyone. So in this particular lecture, I will clear some basic concept related to audio recording. So that's why we need a one software, which is audacity. Okay. So with the help of audacity, I can teach you about some basic stuff related to audio recording. Okay, so first of all, you have to download it. So just to go on Google and type Audacity download. And with the help of Ada City, we can monitor all the graph related to audio recording. Also, I want to show you noise which is present in our audio, how it look like. Okay, so I will show you. So you can download it for many platform like Windows, Mac OS, Linux, so I can download it for Windows. Simply click on Download and you can install it. Okay. So now, let's open Ada City. Okay. So first of all, what do you have to do? From this section, you can select your internal microphone. Okay. So currently we are in Crisp AI, but currently I'm selecting my microphone, which is Blue Snowball. Okay. And from here, you can select your audio output. Okay, right? So whenever I have to record audio, I will click on this red circle button. Okay. So if I will click on this, it starts capturing my audio. Okay. And you can see the graph. Okay. Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello. So graph represents the intensity of volume. Okay. And now I want to show you how noise look like. Okay. So let's delete everything. Let's delete everything. And for five second, I will not say anything. Okay? For five second, I will not say anything. Okay. Okay, so you can see that this is a noise. This is called background noise. This is a noise of air present in your room. Okay. Now let's turn on my fan. So this is a background noise which comes from my fan. Okay. So now let's turn on Crisp AI, Crisp AI, let's turn on, and let's record. Now let's turn on my cooler. And now we will see graph is linear or not. So it is not capturing the noise comes from my fan. Okay, so this is what I want to teach you. Okay. And this is a background noise which we have to remove from our content. So we will discuss everything. 5. How to Remove Background Noise from the audio: I will show you how can you use Crisp AI to remove all the background noise from your content later on our lecture series. Okay. But for now, let's switch back to our blue snowball mic. Okay. Now I'm not using Crisp AI for demonstration purpose. I want to clear your concept related to audio recording. Okay. So first of all, you have to take care about the distance between you and your mic. Okay, so you should not be too close. So if you will, too close to your mic, Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my YouTube gaming channel bound to play games. Let's play this. Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my YouTube gaming channel, bound to play games. So if you are too close with your microphone, then it can capture better quality, but also it will capture some hissing sound like this. Suppose when you will spell as you will pronunciate a letter. Okay? Like sound, sound, sound, sound. Let's play this. Sound, sound, sound. So if you are too close with your microphone, then it may capture hissing sound or some disturbing sound which will spoil user experience. Okay. And now let's talk about how much distance should exist between us. Okay. So according to me, distance between mice and you should be like one hand. Okay, one hand. Okay, fine. So now let's talk about some technical things. Suppose if you are recording your audio in audacity without Crisp AI. Okay, so let me clear you one thing. If you will use Crisp AI, then it will not record your background noise. Okay? But if you are not using Crisp AI, then how can you remove background noise from the audacity? Let's understand that. Okay. So let's click on record button. Okay. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You have to you don't have to talk for at least five to 6 seconds before starting your audio recording. Okay, because we want to capture the frequency of background noise. So for that moment, you don't have to tell anything. So this is an area where we were not speaking. Okay. And this is a graph of background noise present in our room. This is a graph, so we have to remove this graph, and we have to make it proper linear. We have to make it linear. Okay? So after five to 6 seconds of silence, you can start talking. Okay. So let's start. Hell, hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my full master course on how can you improve audio quality with the help of Chris AI software and Audacity. Okay. Now. Now, let's play this. You can listen that background noise has captured. Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my full master course on how kun. Okay, so this is a place where we were not speaking, so we have to make it linear. Okay. So for that, what we will do, we will select all of this area. We will select silence part of our audio. Okay? This is a silence part, and you have to go on effect section and you have to click on noise reduction. And here we have a G noise profile. So when you will click on Get noise profile, it will capture the frequency of silence. Okay. Okay, so it has captured the frequency of silence, and we have to remove the same frequency audio from the rest of the part. Okay. So now we have captured the sound profile for silence. Now what do we have to do? We have to select whole audio. We have to select whole audio and go on Effectsecton again and click on noise reduction. Now you have to click on Okay button. Now you can see that this line has become linear. Okay. And all the background noise which were present in our audio have been removed successfully. Okay. So now let's play this. You will not hear anything. Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my full master course on how can you improve audio quality with the help of Crisp AI software and audacity. Okay. Okay, fine. So this is how you can remove background noise with the help of audacity. And in the next lecture, we will use Crisp AI to remove background noise simultaneously. In the next video, we will use crisp AI to remove all the background noise at the same time of recording. Okay. So if you like this lecture, then don't forget to give me good positive rating and comment. Okay. Bye bye. 6. How to use krips ai to record clear audio: Hello, everyone. So in this particular video, we will finally install Crisp AI in our system. Okay. So for that, just what you have to do, you have to open Google, Okay, and type AI Crisp AI. And you have to visit its official website, and now what you have to do, you have to sign in with your Google account. You can create FRS account or you can sign in with Google. So what I will do, I will sign in with my Google account. Okay, so after sign in, you will see this page. I have already installed it in my computer, but when you will visit its official website first time, then here you will get the download button for his AI. So you have to simply download ISP AI and you have to install it. After installation, you can open crisp AI with bottom right corner and you will see this K icon. So you have to click on it, click on it. And from here, you have to select your microphone. So as I already told you before, I'm using Blue Snowball microphone. So here, I will select Blue Snowball. You can select your own mic here. Okay. So you have to identify your microphone. And you have to make sure that noise cancellation should be on. Okay, so this is a game changer button, so it should be on. Okay. Now what do you have to do? Um Suppose you record your content with OBS Studio, like this. Okay. Then what you have to do, you have to go on Mc setting section, and then you have to go on property, and for Mike for Mike, you have to select Crisp AI instead of your microphone. Okay, because we have already attached our microphone with Crisp AI, that's why here we will not select Blue Snowball. Here we will select crisp AI because we have already attached blue snowball with crisp AI. Okay, that's why here we will select crisp AI and hit the Okay button. Okay. And in similar way, suppose you are using bendy Cam for recording. Then also you have to follow same method. You have to go on Mc setting Sexon and you have to select Crisp AI. Suppose if you are using audacity to record your audio, okay. So with the help of Audacity, you can only record audio, obviously. Okay, you can't record video with Audacity. It is for sound recording. Okay. So if you have to record your audio in Audacity with the help of Crisp AI, then also, you have to go on Mic Sexon and here you have to select Crisp AI. Okay, so I want to show you the difference between, uh, default microphone and crisp AI. Okay, so let's switch back to the blue snowball microphone. So this is a default microphone which I am using in daily basis. Okay, so let's click on record button. And now for five to six second, I will not speak. Okay. So for that silence part, if you will see any kind of graph, so that means there is a background noise. Let's click on record button, and for five to six second, I will not speak. Pause. So this is an area where I were not speaking. Okay, so the turbulence in graph represents background noise. Okay, so I got this turbulence with my default microphone. Now what I will do I will select. I will select Crisp AI. Let's select Crisp AI, and now let's start recording again. So this is a major difference between your default microphone and your crisp AI. Okay, so you should definitely use crisp AI if you are present in such environment where a lot of background noise exist. Okay. So you should use crisp AI. Okay. Fine. Currently, we are recording our video in OBS Studio. Let's go on setting exon, and you can see that crisp microphone is already selected. Okay. So this is how you can achieve professional quality. Okay. So this is how you can record your audio without background noise with any kind of recording software. Just what you have to do, you have to select Crisp AI in your respective recording software. Suppose if you are using OBS Studio, then you have to go on Mic Setting Sexan and you have to select Crisp AI. And similarly, if you are using BandicaM or any other recording software, then also you have to go on MCSettingSexan, and you have to select Chris AI behalf of your original microphone. Okay, so this is how you can record professional audio with Chris AI. And in the next video, we will increase our professional level. Okay. So what we will do, we will record our audio in audacity. Okay. And after that, I will show you which kind of setting you can do in audacity to achieve best audio quality. Okay, so we will learn advanced thing in the next lecture. 7. How to improve audio quality by audacity by adding different effects: Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my full Master series on audio enhancement. Okay. So in this particular lecture, we will record our audio professionally with the help of Ada City. Okay. So, what you have to do, you have to open audacity and make sure that crisp AI is already selected as microphone. Okay, so let's select crisp AI. Okay. Now, uh, before recording your final talk, what do you have to do, you have to make silence for five to six second. Okay, so that we can get a frequency of background noise. And once we get the frequency of background noise, we will remove that frequency from the rest part of the audio. Okay. So let's make silence for five to six second. Since we are using crisp AI, that's why there is no turbulence, which means there is no background noise. So we have already removed background noise because we are using crisp AI. Okay. So we have discussed everything in previous lecture. Okay. So that's why we are not getting turbulence here because we are using crisp AI. Okay. Now let's start recording. Okay. Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you. In my full master series on. How can you get professional audio quality with the help of Crisp EI and Audacity. Okay, so without wasting any time, let's start our lecture series. Now, let's play this. Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my full master series on. How can you get professional audio quality with the help of rispEI? So at this time, there is no turbulence here. There is no turbulence in graph, which means there is no background noise. So we don't need to remove it. Okay. But if you will find any kind of background noise here, then what do you have to do? You have to select that part and go to Effect Section, then go to noise reduction. You have to click on Gate noise profile, then you have to select whole audio clip, as I have already told you before. You have to select whole clip. And again, go on effect Sexton, noise reduction and hit the Okay button. Okay. So this is how you can remove background noise. Okay. Now you can delete silence part. So let's select that area and hit the delete button. Okay, so this is our audio sexon. Now what we will do, we will apply some effect by which it will become SAP. Okay. So first of all, what do you have to do, you have to click on effect Sexon. You have to click on normalize. So let's click on normalize Hit the O button. Okay. Now let's play this audio. Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you. In my full Master series on how can you gain? You have to notice slide changes. Okay. Again, go on Effect Section, and now let's click on Compressor, and you don't have to change anything. Okay, so default setting is best for beginner. So you don't have to change any setting. Just you have to click on Okay button. Okay. Now, let's play this. Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my full Master series on How can you get professional audio quality with the help of GIS AI and Audacity. Okay, so without wasting any time, let's start our lecture series. Okay. Now let's go on effect Section, and now what you have to do, you have to go on Filter car. And after going on filter curve, you have to go on Manage, and you have to go on factory presets. And here you will see Bass boost. So let's click on. Let's play this. Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my full Master series on How can you get professional audio quality with the help of GIS AI and Ada City. Okay, fine. Now again, go on Effect Section, go on filter curve, manage factory presets and click on Trouble Boost. Hit the O button. Now this is our final output. Hell, Hello, everyone.

So you can give me good positive rating and comment if you are satisfied with this lecture series. Okay, bye bye. 8. How to improve the audio quality of Pre-recorded video: So if you have recorded your audio plus video with any kind of recording software like OBSE Studio or Bandy Cam, then if you want to improve your audio quality more, then what can you do? At this time, you have to open your video editing software. In this particular lecture series, we have learned that we can improve our audio quality with the help of AI software and Audacity. Okay. So suppose you have already recorded your video and audio with the help of Crisp AI. Suppose you have already recorded with Crisp AI. Okay. And if you want to improve it more, then we have to look towards the Audacity. So for that, we need audio file. So we need to extract audio file from the video. That's why here we have to use video editing software. So in this case, I will use Wonder Share Filmora. Okay. So first of all, you have to click on Import Media and you can select your video file. So this is my video file. In which I have to improve audio quality more. Okay. So first of all, I will drag and drop towards the downwarad direction. So currently, my clip is in timeline. Okay, so let's play this. Hello, everyone. Okay. Now what I need to do I have to extract is audio so that we can edit it in audacity. Okay, so let's click on Export. And you can do same method in any recording software. Okay. And you have to select your save directory, okay? And format. So you have to select mp three because we have to extract audio file only. Mp three. So let's click on Open folder. So this is a audio, so let's copy this. Okay, so this is a audio file which I have to edit. So now let's open this audio file in audacity and we will apply same effect which we have learned before. And after applying all the effects, what we will do, we will again, um, attach same audio file with video file. Okay. So this is audacity. Let's open. Let's open go on music section. So this is a audio quality. Now, currently there is no background noise. That's why we don't need to remove it. Okay. So let's select all. So if you have to select all the entire audio file, you have to press Control plus A for Select All. Okay. Now let's go on effect section. First step you have to apply, which is normalize. You have to click on normalize, and you don't have to change any setting, default setting is best. Then again, you have to go on effect section, go on compressor, and hit the Okay button. Okay. Again, go on filter curve and go on Manage. At this time, you have to visit factory presets and you have to click on Bess Bosch. Okay.
