Okay, Good. All right, let's take a listen to this part as well. It's your event, but we power it with great music. Okay, let's take a listen to this spot. It's your event, but we power it with great music. All right, which means basically it's the same scripts, but the voice talent decided to take it in different terms. Obviously, we need to take off the path which will not be needed. As a matter of fact, we need to trim. Personally, I think a lot of the first tone, it's your event, but we power it. Great music. Enjoy so sorrowful moments. We keep it classic. We are your preferred sound system company for marriage and naming ceremonies. Okay. Right. So which means this part from this part downwards, It's your event. I'm not needed. So you just have to bring your red marker to whichever parts that you want to start trimming from. And then you left-click hold and you drag to highlight. Okay? Then you press the Delete button and it's off. If you want to close some gaps. And the voices as well. Same thing. You have to left-click, hold and then drag back has-a to highlight and delete. Then it's gone. I don't like this pots. I mean, space here, need to do it and it's gone. So it's that simple. Now again, if you want to close a smaller gap in wave, for instance, Up here, yeah, I'll call you, enclose it. You can have in place the red marker. Okay. So how are you going to close that gap? You would have to come here, here, up here. Okay. And then you again, left-click hold and drag. So we can Zoom. So the moment you use Zoom, you realize this is the space or the gap. You can guess. Again, left-click. Hold, drag to highlight and delete. So we've noted marriage and naming ceremonies. Okay? So basically this is how to import and a trim revoice of AI in Adobe Audition CC. In our next topic, I'll teach you how to remove noise and also how to remove breath in a voiceover. I hope you've been able to learn something. Make sure you practice whenever you learn. And by the end, you'll become the master of what you do best. See you in our next lecture. 3. How To Reduce Noise And Remove Breaths In Voiceover: Today we are tackling breath removal and noise reduction in a voice-over. Now if you should take a look at our audio file here, I suspect there is some kind of noise in there. Let's take a listen. We are the both players. Okay? So I've captured some noise right here. So you left-click, you drag to highlight, then you give it a play. Obviously it has both noise and breath. But firstly, we would have to remove or reduce the noise before we can remove the breadth. Basically, you need to Zoom. Zoom. During our last lecture, I taught you how to zoom. So you come up here and then you left-click, you hold and drag. Drag so that you'll be able to locate every single gap that you want to work on. The areas are noise. You can hear it. Right. Time for us to remove the noise. What do we do? So for you to remove the noise, you need to locate a gap which obviously had the noise or has the noise. Then you left-click drag, hold and drag portion, where the noises. Then you come to the menu. Click on Effects. It comes down to noise reduction and restoration. Then you come to noise reduction process. Tap on it, you come here. So here's another trick. There is the reduced by db right here, which is 15 minus 15. But the Finnish demo, the DB, the para, the quality of the audio file basically means if you should increase, so you can increase it to just tap on it. It gives you The box. You can delete the 15 and then go like 20 or even go like 30, or even go like 40. I mean, it doesn't matter. You can just put in any number buds. The higher you go, the poorer the audio quality. I use 15. Yes, I think it's done that I mean, it doesn't really deteriorate my file like that. 15. Then you go to capture noise print. Okay, so this one would captured a noise print that you've highlighted on the audio file. So you click on capture non sprint, and then you apply. You realize the noise is no more. You got it. No more noise. Okay, so it's time for me to affect the entire file. You go through the same process, effects. Then noise reduction or iteration. You come to noise reduction process. This time round. Do you select entire file here, right here, select entire file. We click on it. Then kapha has been selected or has been highlighted, then you apply. Awesome. You are through, right? We are. The both players get in touch now and let's sound up your events. Zeros. Now the noise has been reduced. You realize there is some kind of breath here. Let me highlight it. You left click, drag, hold and drag to highlight. I want us to remove this breath because we want to offend to sound professional. So for you to be able to remove the breath, you will use the Gain. Here, adjust amplitude. That is a volume control or the gain volume control. Then you reduce it to bits, alright, negative down db. Now let's take a listen. The breath is gone. Yes, the breath is gone. Now, CRM, you can apply to all the gaps in here or the spaces in-between the waves you left-click you hold and drag to highlight. Then you lower the DB here. Then you are good to go. All right, make sure you check this basis. Well, then you are good to go. So in this case, you wouldn't have to be dealing with anymore noise in your audio with balance. Here we go. Let's sound up your events. 0269864780 and at the bolus players on social media. So we are done. This is how you can basically reduce noise and also remove breaths in an audio file. 4. How To Process Voiceover Professionally: In all of this has been our audio file from the beginning of the lecture. Thus the boss, if you can remember, because at the end of that calls you become your own boss. So we did that importation and also auto trim. It was quite lengthy, but we've been able to trim it to 36 seconds here. I'm right. Okay. Also we did how to remove breath and reduce background noise, also using the same audio file. And after doing that, we realized there were no noise. 0269864780, right? And also there was no breath. You realize that the space in here is really silent as dead. Okay? It's time for us to process the voiceover. It's time for us to add the necessary effect to ensure that it sounds appealing today? Yes. So that's what we're going to tackle today. Process and the voice to ensure that it sounds beautiful. First, we go to the menu because we need to apply order and has a three effects to ensure that it sounds great. So we go to the menu, that is effects, and then you come to amplitude and compression. Amplitude and compression. There is amplitude and compression, there is hard limiter. Hard limiter. You select hard limiter. And you can come to the presets box where you might want to choose default, distorted, heavy, light, limit to negative one dB, limits to negative three dB, then moves to negative six dB. Db means decibel, okay? You can medium and also that's one dead horse. But I prefer using medium because it doesn't make their voice blast. It keeps it intact. So I prefer using a medium. So we choose a medium. Then you apply. You see, now the volume has increased or the waves have become bigger. Okay, let's take a listen. It's your event. The WEP power it with great. Before it was like this. It's your event though we'd power it with great music. And now it's like this. Enjoy your so sorrowful moments. We keep it classic. We are your preferred sound system company, right? So after a plan, their hand limiter is still not really giving you that powerful vibe. We need to apply a few effects just to ensure that it sounds more better. Let's get to another effect and this is one of my specialties as well. Special, special master in. You click on mastering. I love to use the club master. We have primary type club must star dream sequence, mid, enhance or reduce stereotype mono and all. But I prefer to collab master because it gives the voice some kind of heavy effect. To make it sound more professional. You apply. And you see waves have increased again. So let's take a listen. It's your event, but we power it with great music. Okay? So it depends if you want to add some base to ensure that your voice is really heavy, then you come to effects, the menu effects, you get to amplitude and compression again. This time, Raju selects multiband compressor. Multiband compressor, choose the multiband compressor. You get to the presets. There are options that was broadcast, which is actually good for podcasters to use. That is the broadcast because it makes your podcasts sound more like it's being added from our radio station. So I choose tighter base because I want my voice to be Bessie or heavy. So you choose tighter base and then you apply. Okay? So we took a listener again. It's your event, believed, power it with great music. Enjoy your so sorrowful moments. So I'm through with this. And now I want this to sound more crisp, right? If you want the voice to sound more crisp, then you come to the menu. Okay, You faked. You'd get to fill an EQ. There's an effect here, which is Parramatta equalizer. This parameter equalizer. It makes your voice sound more crisp, crispy. So loudness maximizer. But if you are working on a radio commercial and you want your voice to sound like you are on telephone. We can use the old-time radio because it actually gives the voice that telephone tone. But for now, we are using loudness maximizer. You click on it and then you apply. Then it's your event believed, power it with great music, enjoying so sorrowful moments. We keep it classic. We are your preferred sound system company for marriage and naming ceremonies, funerals, parties, etc. We are the boss players. Get in touch now. Oh, now it sounded and crispy and I feel like it's really too high. Markets hits and read dB here, so I just have to reduce it. Reducing it, you come to adjust amplitude up here. Don't you reduce it a bit? Then? Rolls parties. Here we go. Again. You reduce it here. Amplitude, just amplitude. And I love mine to be 2.1 db, which I think is okay, what am blessed? Naming ceremonies, funerals, parties, extra. It's not hitting the red button again, which means the sound is okay. Cetera. We are the boss players. Get in touch now and let's sound up your events. This is how to process raw voiceover to sound more beautiful and also to sound more appealing to that, yes. 5. How To Import Audio Files Into Multitrack Session: Today we are going to learn how to import that edited audio file into multitrack. It always started the whole course with this particular file. There was a row voice-over, but it's now a processed audio file. It's your event believed power it with great music, right? So it's time for us to add some music to it so we can call it a complete radio commercial. And in doing so, we need to insert it into the multi-track session. How do we do that? You simply have to right-click. You right-click, and then you come to insert into multitrack. Let's take it again. You right-click on the wave, and then you come to insert into multitrack. Then you create a new multitrack session. I mean, these are all projects I've been working on. So you need to create a new multitrack session and give it a name. What am I choosing? Okay, so for tutorial, then you hit Enter or probably click on. Okay. Now here we are versus our multi-track session and we need to add some music bed towards. How do we add music bed? Let me try and locate some instrumentals here. I've got my folder, and I have some pretty cool instrumentals right here. My Jewish important for you to get a royalty free instrumentals for your radio commercial background. Okay, royalty-free instrumentals as your music bed. Let's take a listen to this. I think I love this. For you to be able to import it instrumentals into the multi-track session. You just have to left-click, okay, you left-click, you hold the file, and then you drag into the multi-track session. Here we go. Now we have our voice-over and music bed. In the multi-track session. 6. How To Add Music To A Voiceover In Multitrack: After being able to import the audio files into the multi-track session token off their voice-over, which is this music bed, which is also this is time for us to arrange the files and also give them the right levels in terms of volume to make them sound appropriate. Let's take a listen. It's your event. The weak power. Realize their levels are high, especially with that of the music bed, very high. So we would have to control the volume of the music bed. So that's the voice of our code sync perfectly. In the meantime, let's talk about how to minimize their trucks in here so that you'll be able to make their workspace quite simple and also get to see audit trucks that we are working on. So in order to minimize their trucks, you come here, you left-click and hold and then you drag up to the second track, loved hold and drag up. Same with a third truck left hold and drag app. Since we will be arranging the files, especially where their voice-over, It's important that we leave one space in the middle, so we'd drag this one, does the music bed, we bring it down. If you left-click hold and drag down. Here we go, simple as that. So there is a space here, and this space will be used to arrange their voice-over. Now let's take a listen. Again. It's your event. A weak power. I wanted to music bed two starts before the voice of Occam seen. So in that case, I need to push their voice-over back and let all you left-click, hold and slide. All right, so I want my voice-over to start from here. Probably. Take a listen. Awesome. So we've been able to lead the music bed starts and it's now time for us to adjust the volume, control the volume. So that's the voice of r could be head clearly. Doing that. We have to create keyframes. Now, this is the key frame. You see that pump line here, the volume line. You click on lates or you left click. Then a keyframe is created. So you see it's positive 0 dB or plus 0 dB. Now in order for us to lower the volume of the music bed, you create another key frame. You will left-click and you've created a keyframe. Then you left-click on that key frame. You've created. The second keyframe you've created, and then drag it down. Drag it down. Which means now the volume of that music bed is down. Let's take a listen. No revenge, the weed power it with great music. Enjoy and so sorrowful moments. You keep it classic. It will prefer it sounds system company for marriage and naming ceremonies. Awesome. So I think the music bed is quite tie. Let's bring it down at dates from 21 to negative 2.48 dB. No, negative 26.3 dB. I think that's fine. Let's take a listen again. It's your revenge. The WEP power it with great music, being joy and so sorrowful moments, we keep it classic. Okay, I think it's good. So one thing that you should note is why you would want the voice-over to start from. That is where you would have to begin lowering the volume of the music bed. So if you realize we want our voice-over to start from this part here, let me bring their red. This is where I created my first key frame to ensure that this is where I will start lowering the volume from. So let's arrange the voice of a now that your event a weak power it with great music. Enjoy and so sorrowful moments. You keep it classic. We Are you. Okay? I think this part is so fast hit classic. We are. So in that case, I would want us to operate this parts. I use Zoom.

You press on that positive, I don't need press ON, delete, it's gone. And you just hold and drag it to bits. You left-click, drag it. Create another keyframes. Keyframes. I wanted music bed to start increasing from this part. I created the first one here where I wanted to music, where to start increasing from parties, etc. Okay, I think that's so sharp.
