Hello,
I'm Rajesh from India, a freelance sound engineer, more focused on sound editing and sound mixing. I have my own audio setup. The specifications of the setup is mentioned on my profile. I'm new to this Freelancer website. But Im very experienced on this job since I was doing lot of cleaning and enhancing the quality for eLearning, Tutorial voice overs.
Tools/Softwares Used for this job:
1. iZotope RX advanced for removing the background noise, clicks, pops, chirps, glitches.
2. Pro Tools HD to manually remove clicks, pops and to equalize, enhance the quality of the audio.
Summary of the work process for this job:
1. Download the audio files to my computer.
2. Import the audio files to iZotope, check for the background noise. If there are background noises, I will use denoiser, to remove the background noise. Remove clicks, pops using declicker. Export the noise and clicks removed audio files to my computer. iZotope removes most of the commonly occuring click, pop noises.
3. Open Pro Tools HD and import the noise removed audio files. Listen to the audio and manually remove clicks, pops, chirps which are left undone on the iZotope by fading in and fading out.
4. Compress the audio files, so that all the parts of the audio file sounds the same. Because at one point the recorded audio may be too loud and at another point it may be low. Compression makes the audio sound same throughout the file.
4. Equalize the audio to sound at certain frequency throughout the file. Voices, Musical instruments and each and every sounds has its own sweet spot at certain frequency. Narrow down that frequency and set it. Compression is for level and Equalization is for frequency balance. And I have some mastering plugins to master the audio to enhance its quality. Export the processed audio files as .wav to my computer and send you.
So this is the work process that I will be following on your job.
Time Required:
I'm unaware of the duration of the audio file, but here's how much time I need - a 1 hour audio file would require 8 hours approx to clean and process. The duration is because I usually listen to the audio completely so I know what I'm working on.
I will be really glad to work with you. Looking forward from you.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh G.
