    Interview Compression

    Posted by Pavlos Varnavides on November 26, 2008 at 6:13 pm

    Hi there. Adobe Audition newbie try to make an interview sound nice!!

    2 voices on the track, one regularly hitting -2 db, the other regularly hitting -10 db

    Thats my problem – one voice much louder than the other – probably due to proximity to microphone.

    Tried multiband compressor which helps to a point, but still voice two isnt quite loud enough and I now have quite a lot of background noise / hiss on it.

    Any help here fro the hardcore audition heads?

    Thanks!!!

    just highlight each of the parts for the second voice and normalize to -2dB.

    thanks emmett.

    problem there is its a LONG interview so would take quite a while, and lifting the voice is giving me lots of background noise…

    There are a number of third-party plug-ins that will do this. And Soundbooth has a utility as well. You may need to run some noise reduction.

    Thanks

    I ended up using Levelator and stuck it through some noise reduction. Results were more than acceptible.

    Thanks again for your help.
