Post-Production of Voice Recordings - Adobe Audition

Discover how the spectral frequency display in Adobe Audition reveals vocal frequency distribution, teaching you to think in frequencies rather than loudness to improve recordings from bad to great.

Learn how understanding voice frequencies improves post-production with multiband compression and a parametric equalizer, isolating critical bands from 0–100, 100–2000, and 2k–10k for clearer voice recordings.

Learn to use a parametric equalizer in Adobe Audition to target specific frequencies, adjust gain on individual bands, and clean voice recordings by reducing noise and harsh tones.

Identify noise in Adobe Audition by targeting frequencies below 100 Hz, delete non-voice material, and use spectral frequency display to differentiate consistent from inconsistent noise with the spot healing brush.

Identify and reduce consistent noise in voice recordings using Adobe Audition's noise reduction and adaptive noise reduction, capturing a noise print, applying small reductions, and avoiding artifacts for clear dialogue.

Learn how to achieve vocal consistency in Adobe Audition by applying noise reduction first, then compression with threshold, makeup, ratio, and attack-release settings, using single-band or multiband compressors.

discover how to use a multiband compressor in adobe audition to adapt threshold, ratio, and makeup gain across frequency bands—from 0–100 to 2000–10000 Hz—to protect the voice’s core.

Learn how limiters prevent distortion and clipping by capping peak levels, with practical tips on using a minus 6 ceiling, avoiding zero, and safeguarding vocal recordings.

Learn to sculpt vocals with the parametric equalizer by cleaning unwanted frequencies, building a custom preset, and boosting presence to enhance clarity—avoiding default presets.

learn to use a de-esser in adobe audition by identifying the sibilant range around 3–6 kHz with a parametric equalizer and avoiding default settings.

Understand how normalization raises amplitude and moves the peak to a target level in Adobe Audition, and why you should use it only if the initial recording is too quiet.
