Sound Devices NoiseAssist Demonstration - Reduce Noise While Recording

In today’s episode we cover a new noise reduction plugin for the Sound Devices Scorpio, 888, and 833 recorders called NoiseAssist. This plugin is most effective at reducing - no eliminating - constant, broadband noise like fans, HVAC systems, or generators. We demonstrate how it works and provide several sample clips.

You can learn more about the Sound Devices NoiseAssist plugin over at SoundDevices.com.

Live Sound for Video Session: Accentize VoiceGate & Q&A

Hello Soundies! In this week's Sound for Video Session we demonstrated a new dialogue de-noise plugin which evidently uses neural networks to more effectively separate voice from noise. We ran a few different audio clips through the plugin to show where it excels and where it is not quite as effective. You can find out more about the VoiceGate plugin at https://www.accentize.com. Full disclosure - Accentize gave me a free license to demonstrate this plugin. I do not earn any money from purchases of VoiceGate.

Sound for Video Session: Tools for Dialogue Sound De-noising Audition, RX

In this week's episode we cover three tools you can use to help reduce noise in your dialogue audio recordings: High pass filters, de-hum, and de-noise plugins. We cover most of this in Adobe Audition but also jump over into Izotope RX to show the same set of tools. The same principles apply for other audio editing apps as well.
