I make videos of acrylic markers drawing on paper ASMR, no talking. But i have annoying problem with background static noise. I’ve tried everything i’ve been advised. I upgraded my cheap mic to a blue yeti, i bought a USB hub so it doesn’t connect directly to my phone (this seemed to help a tiny bit), and of course i make sure my real life room is dead silent. No AC, etc. I’m fairly new to audacity (been using it lightly for a few months). I’ve experimented with the settings on noise removal (just randomly testing different slides, bc i dont actually know what LUFS means, or aything else that isnt common english)
Audacity can’t seem to distinguish between the marker scratch and the static sound, because it will either do almost nothing on low settings, or make the asmr sound badly muffled. I’ve tried amplifying an isolated clip of static so its very loud when i take its noise profile, this again seems to help a tiny bit (better than noise profiling it at low volume) but overall nothing solves it to a usable extent. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but are there maybe presets that remove static…? since i imagine this is overall a common issue, though i’m sure it’s a lot easier when dealing with vocals.. thanks for any help!
Marker shhh, and electronic hisss are too similar for Audacity’s noise-reduction to tell them apart.
A contact-microphone attached to the pen is a possible solution … Freesound - Paper and marker (not actually) by Sadiquecat
Hi! Can you provide a sample of the recorded sound?
