Adobe Express: Advanced noise reduction and gating

Adobe ExpressTry it →Watch full video →Mike Russell ·

Demo summary

Mike demonstrates capturing a noise print and applying the Noise Reduction process followed by a Dynamics Auto Gate to clean up background noise in a podcast recording.

Step-by-step

  1. Press Shift + D to switch to the spectral view to identify low-end background noise and glitches
  2. Highlight a section of the audio containing only the background noise
  3. Go to Effects > Noise Reduction / Restoration > Capture Noise Print
  4. Select the entire audio track
  5. Go to Effects > Noise Reduction / Restoration > Noise Reduction (process)
  6. Adjust the frequency graph to target low-end frequencies and set the reduction level
  7. Go to Effects > Amplitude and Compression > Dynamics
  8. Enable only the Auto Gate option, set the threshold to approximately -45 dB, and click Apply

Options

  • Use Adobe Enhance Speech as an automated alternative
  • Adjust the noise reduction graph to target specific frequency ranges (low, mid, or high)

Watch out for

  • You must capture a noise print before the Noise Reduction process can be applied

Tips

  • Manual noise reduction can often achieve better results with less processing on the voice than AI tools
  • Set the noise reduction level to around 44 dB for a balance between noise removal and voice quality
  • Focus noise reduction on the low end of the frequency graph to avoid destroying the voice
  • Use a noise gate after noise reduction to ensure complete silence in the spaces between speech

Highlights

“advanced noise reduction still exists and works incredibly well if you know how to dial it in”
