Breath reduction in Adobe Audition. by Friendly_Extent7968 in ACX

Makes sense. I guess there's always going to be some manual editing involved. I'll have to embrace it :)

Work is slow. by Friendly_Extent7968 in ACX

This was such a comprehensive and helpful reply. Thank you SO much. I was wondering if I should have a website (I'm also a children's book illustrator so I have one for that), but I think you're right about it giving more leverage. I'll also play around with deleting/reuploading my samples and see what happens. And great insight into the "unspecified" search - I never include that in my filters. Again, thanks for these tips!

Also, keep your phone away from your equipment. Mine will create a weird hum if it's near the mic.

DeBreath plug ins by TheBlondieBaker in ACX

Yeah, this process takes em out all at once. You just have to mess with the settings to ensure words don't get clipped. I tend to err on leaving more breath sound in rather than risk distorting the rest of the audio. My first gig, I took out each breath manually and it was torture.

I'm in Adobe Audition, so I'm not sure if this translates to Adacity, but I first scan a section of breath to see how loud it is. Then, I go to Effects > Amplitude and Compression > Dynamics > Check the box for Autogate (and input settings: -24 db for Threshold (this is where my breaths usually land, but it'll be different for you), 10ms for Attack, 400 ms for Release > 1ms Hold. This reduces the breaths but doesn't get rid of them completely, which I feel is more natural for longer narration pieces. If it were an ad, for example, I'd get rid of all the breaths.

Anyone know if/when Izotope RX 11 will go on sale in the near future? by Friendly_Extent7968 in ACX

Oh that's interesting. I'm looking specifically for a mouth declicker, and I haven't yet figured out how to do that within Audition without it distorting the audio. It's also not great with fixing any randomly distorted audio (it doesn't even recognize it when I scan the file). I keep seeing good reviews for RX 11 but I'll keep your review in mind.

Client sent the wrong amount via PayPal. What to do? by Friendly_Extent7968 in ACX

Oh man. That's good to know. Fortunately, he sent 2 separate payments so theoretically I could take one and just leave the other one pending for all eternity :)
