• For removing irrelevant noises, typically background noise while while another person speaks.
• Watch out for words or relevant audio being cut off.

• Threshold - At what level it opens and closes
• Attack - How fast it opens
• Release - How long it holds on until closes
• Hold - How long until Release
• Sidechain (key) - At what frequency it opens

• For removing hiss, hum and buzz.
Noise Reduction
• For removing hiss, hum and buzz.
• Watch out for left over garble and artifacts.
Noise Reduction
• For removing hiss, hum and buzz.
• Watch out for left over garble and artifacts.
• Better to leave in a constant hiss than to cause negative artifacts.
Noise Reduction
• Adaptive
Noise Reduction Types
• Adaptive
• Constant (Noise Print)
Noise Reduction Types
• Adaptive
• Adaptive constantly varies is algorithm to tame background.
Noise Reduction Types
• Adaptive
• Adaptive constantly varies is algorithm to tame background.
• Benefits:
• Adapts to changing background noise.
• Don’t need a hiss only section for the noise print.
Noise Reduction Types
• Adaptive
• Adaptive constantly varies is algorithm to tame background.
• Disadvantages:
• Can mistake other sounds for hiss, and deal too harshly
• Might not remove hiss as accurately.
• CPU Heavy
Noise Reduction Types
• Constant
• Removes only what it’s assigned to.
• Benefits:
• Does not mistake not-noise for noise
• What you hear in one section is what you’ll get throughout the entire audio.
Noise Reduction Types
• Constant
• Removes only what it’s assigned to.
• Disadvantages:
• Can miss hiss as it changes.
• Needs a section of the offending noise only.
• One time processing that cannot be undone without undoing all processes since.
