Rescue Your Audio Recording With This Tool!
Have you ever recorded something important, thought it sounded great when you replayed it yourself in a flash, but when you review it during editing or when you return to a quieter place, you find that the sound has inconsistencies in the form of a lot of background noise – the infamous “hiss” or the sound quality itself turned out to be less than optimal? Well, most of us have experienced this – Whether you’re a content creator, a casual user trying to complete a task, or even a professional journalist working in the industry.
Fortunately, with the help of artificial intelligence, you can solve most of these problems. Adobe’s free solution – Podcast – is an easy-to-use tool that lets you upload audio files, and depending on the length of the audio, can produce significantly more usable audio in minutes, if not seconds.
Makes budget microphones sound more professional
I have used the tool many times – both paid and free version, and I can confidently say that the tool is definitely useful when your video has a lot of digital noise or when the video has a lot of noise. background.
I remember editing a video interview for one of our YouTube channels (this one) where the audio had a lot of background noise from the event floor at London Tech Week, which made the interview vocals unclear. I immediately extracted the audio separately, uploaded the clip to Adobe Podcast, and the results surprised me. It had removed the background sounds almost completely and made the sound more than acceptable.
At the same time, I also tried Adobe Premiere Pro’s built-in DeNoiser plugin, but it was hardly as effective as Adobe’s Podcast.
However, one time I made the mistake of forgetting to bring my dead cat to the Zoom H1 mic I was using to record the interview, and as expected, there was a lot of “explosives” that ruined the audio. In this case, Adobe Podcast was unable to remove them. So it doesn’t offer a one-stop shop for all your audio problems, but it does a very good job of removing unwanted background noise and making an inexpensive microphone sound more expensive.
The free version should be enough, but you can pay for premium features
As I mentioned, I’ve used both the free and paid versions of Adobe Podcast. Truth be told, most users are more than happy to use the free version as it will solve most of your problems. However, if you want more control, the ability to adjust the strength of the correction effect and enhance files longer than 4 hours (the free version supports up to 30 minutes), you can certainly pay for the full version. You can also get a 30-day free trial to see if you like it first.
