As we are always learning in Audacity, I have been doing a lot of audio work with students. Mainly recording of musical instruments and vocals such as: Keyboard, Guitar, Guitar, Drums, Brass (Saxophone and Flute) and Electric Bass. Given the procedures for quality work, I don’t always know if I’m correctly using a sequence of tools for a satisfactory quality project. Our work is summarized in the script below, in case any friend can carry out an assessment, guidance or even a teaching related to this already, I am very grateful.
After the audio has already been captured and the tracks have already been opened in Audacity, I carry out the following procedure for each track, taking special care with the brass and vocals:
01 - Eliminate the noise from the electrical network (Puglin Filter Notoch)
02 - Eliminate background noise (Noise reduction plugin)
03 - Eliminate the Clicks (removal of clicks plugin)
04 - I silence the empty sections where there are noises, noises, crackles and others (toolbar).
05 - I eliminate the sub bass of the vocal (plugin Filter Curve).
06 - Normalize to -6 (Normalize plugin)
07 - Equalize the vocal (bass and treble plugin).
08 - I apply reverb to the vocal (Reverb plugin)
09 - I normalize the height to -16 standard Youtube (Normalize height plugin).
10 - I apply the Limiter (Limiter plugin -3.5 / 10.00 / 0
11 - I export the project in WAVE format
12 - I open the project in WAVE format - all tracks already mixed (Compress Dynamics plugin) with the following settings:
Compress ratio: -0.770
510.0
340.0
-0.00
0.990
2,000
Attack exponent: 4,000
0
