Read below how to try to decrease the playback distortions for your audio equipment or portable device digital audio player, mobile phone, etc. Disclaimer: Result of sound quality improvement method, that described below, depends on used playback hardware and software and sound quality improvement isn't guaranteed. Digital-analog converter audio hardware may have different distortion levels for different modes. One or several modes may have minimal distortions.
Below such mode is called as "the best sounding mode". However, it is an implementation matter rather. However, it demands precise measurement equipment and skills in the measurements. The article describes step-by-step how to found "the best sounding mode" by ears. It is not a precise way, unlike measurements.
But ears allow approximately estimate the DAC's modes at home without additional measurement equipment. In contrast, audio-file-resolution changing, that work together with DAC, dithering allow increasing the sound quality of an audio file as itself in some cases.
Because non-linear distortions of quantization, initially correlated with an audio signal, are smoothed and transformed into uncorrelated noise after dithering.
Dither can improve the sound quality of an audio file via correlated distortion decreasing. If DAC has a noise level above the quantization noise of audio file, the dithering impact may be decreased or disappeared even. But modern DACs, as rule, have noise level below bit error quantization and dithering noise. Therefore, for such DAC dithering may impact to perceived sound quality.
This works fairly well in a pinch, but won't help you with all your problems based on its limitations. It is not suitable for individual clicks and pops, or irregular background noise such as from traffic or an audience. Using spectrum analysis can help you further determine where your issues are.
You can use this to inform you on different frequency areas to automate filtering during different time passages. However, this is a long and convoluted process. Depending on what noise issues you are facing, there are tools that are designed to combat specific problems more effectively. For instance the ERA De-Esser is the perfect tool for treating sibilance, hiss, and can allow accurate and specific removal of nuisance high frequencies, without damaging other areas of the sound.
The ERA Plosive Remover can help with bumps and mic pops, and tame any low end rumbling and tools like Voice AutoEQ can help make your recordings sound consistent and balanced. Luckily these tools are VSTs so will work in Audacity and other programs. While you're at it, also check your audio for breath noise with a De-Breath plugin. Just like background noise, this would usually take ages to do manually; that's why a plugin works best.
This specific one has a single dial through which you can control any breath sounds in your track. Fully remove them if you want a clean-cut track, or alternatively reduce them to a comfortable level for a natural, cozy track.
Utilising this will have a massive impact on the professionality of your videos or podcasts. It will also ensure your voice doesn't get drowned out by other sounds in your productions. If you have background sound or music playing at the same time as your Vocals, they will be competing for attention. If not mixed well, the music can totally overpower the voice, leaving viewers confused and only getting half the message.
Audacity has an Auto-Duck effect, which is the perfect tool. It uses a control track to lower the level of the ducked track. The music will be playing at full volume, then it detects when the narrator starts speaking.
This lowers the level of the music track so it is quieter than the narrator. When the narrator finishes, the music returns releases to its original level. Moreover, it comes with an audio spectrum that works as an audio visualizer as it shows the representation of the sound through the waveform. On the other hand, here is how to use Adobe After Effects to normalize audio volume. Step 2. Now, select and import the audio clip you want to edit by dragging and dropping it into the program.
Step 3. Select the audio from the composition's timeline and hit L to reveal the Audio Levels property. Step 4. When you are satisfied with the results, simply export the file. When you are using a conventional speaker or your headset does not have good sound output, you might need to boost it with Chrome Volume Booster.
This is great, especially for entertainment purposes, as it boosts the audio output of every media playing on your Chrome browser. The tool is as simple as dragging the slide bar to control the audio volume, which makes it easy to use.
Indeed it is a great stereo audio amplifier with digital volume control. Equalizer Pro is also a good tool that you can use. The tool provides a band equalizer and comes with 20 presets for different kinds of needs. Although it is way behind professional equipment, it is more than enough program for most audiophiles.
Aside from that, you can also save the profile you created in which you can apply to other audio files. Therefore, you don't need to tweak audio files individually. However, this audio volume equalizer is not free. Still, you can freely explore its free trial and decide whether you want to upgrade. Besides using a volume booster, you may change the angle of the device at which it sounds loudest. Also, you can increase the sound by connecting an external speaker. By default, the volume limiter is activated to protect the user from hearing.
