When you create a voice-over recording (or voice-over or out ... no one seems to know exactly), is the final product is usually only the voice ... all by myself ... with nothing to hide mistakes. Yes, sometimes speech synthesizer background music, as mentioned in a short video or podcast intro accompanied "Outros". But for the most part, a voice in the recording is only one voice.
If the case is better, the better the sound quality of the professionalization ofFinal result. In a perfect world we'd all be rich and can afford any large diaphragm condenser microphones, analog-digital converter and excellent for our PC Studio. But, as we know, this is not a perfect world. Make most of us only able to be gearing price. That's fine. The techniques I mention in this article allows you the best possible quality from what you get to use the microphone.
So what makes a good quality off? Obviously there are someThe subjectivity of the matter, but in general, the voice should be clear in advance, must be easily understood, the volume (you can use the loud parts and soft tissues, without pain or fatigue, or feeling), and is used as without a noise as possible. We begin the recording session to begin.
1 Make sure the microphone closer to your mouth is 4-12 inches away from the microphone. Experiment with the distance, but what are you doing here is going, make sure your voice is as strong as reportedpossible, without overloading the microphone or cause unpleasant noises such as p-pop. Because we are a recording studio for the PC, it's pretty easy to see if your recorded voice loud enough or too high. The voice is evident in the recording software, such as waveform (or "blob rolling," as I like to call it) looks like a swim in the lane on your screen. You want to make the blob, like many of the track can swim, never ends. Experiment with the distance from the microphone untilto achieve this goal.
2 Register in a quiet room is almost impossible, especially with a recording studio for your PC completely trouble-free environment, have to register. But the lower the volume, the better. Check what you can. For example, close the door of the room where you can record sounds from home. Try to hold the microphone far enough away from the computer, the fan and hard drive are not to loud noises. Strategically can help at times with blankets or mattresses reallyHere. Just do not block the ventilation openings or the computer may overheat. You might also want to be a time of day when the neighbors do not mow lawns or construction will not be voting in the vicinity.
3 Turn down the noise after it has recorded most of the recording software (including open-source Audacity) comes with basic audio editing tools such as noise gates and noise suppression. Since it is likely that some noise, but little in the recording (you can not stop it) will be, you want a jobor both of the editing tools described above. I recommend you try the noise gate first. It is closed, all sounds during quiet bits, said that if the vote does not occur in the same period (noise included), the sound if the voice speaks. If you only have a little hiss or fan noise, this works very well. Just be careful that things do not sound too weird, when the gate opens and closes. You can play with the settings to make this sound more natural. Also, if the environmental noisestrong, it seems unnatural in the quiet bits of language, when suddenly seems too quiet compared to when the voice spoke.
If the noise gate is not enough, try a noise reduction. But beware, this may seem strange, if abused. Sound reduction of noise artifacts as the voice is under water ... Kin of "swirly" in the absence of a better term. Reduction of noise about all of the audio parts of speech and not speak. For this to work, sayComputer, which sounds just noise, selecting a region (where there is no word), the only noise. So white, the tool to get rid of something. If the noise was not too strong, works well. But the most noise in the recording, the most "under water" that will sound after the noise reduction. Experiment to get the settings with this tool, the best result.
4 Squish the audio with an audio compression compressor something else that can be used with caution. It 'easy to mess with audioAlthough much of it. Properly used, this editing tool is still with the volume so that the listener can be softer, more quiet parts and loud, exciting parties, without ever hearing the volume slider up and down. A compressor reduces the volume of the parts that are over a certain volume (at that level) so that the quieter tone alone. This allows the creator of sound, the total volume of the voice-over-without increasing tooaloud. Remember, when I try to be the largest number of votes in the track can swim without touching the walls to have said? Compression allows you to do so. If the sound "touch the sides" are distorted, definitely a bad thing with computer audio. How to experiment with other instruments, and play with the settings for best results.
5 Normalize The last thing I usually do, is another audio editing tool called normalization. All this means that the volume for the enhancementthe point that the first bit stronger 'distorted. For example, if a little 'shouted the voice-over, this part of the show as a bit "higher" of the waveform in the swimming lane. Normalization Sun determined that the highest (strongest) while 'and turns everything up just before it touches the side of the majority. In this way the sound is as loud as possible without distorting.
If you do these 5 things you should end up with the best recording of voice-over with each microphone. TheBest of all, it costs nothing to use these 5 tips home recording. Try it and see if your sound does not sound much better after. For more home recording tips, please visit the Audio Home Brew. View our video tutorials, articles, free downloads and more.
