Notice how on this recording there is still a band of louder low frequency noise. Striolated Puffbird with all frequencies below 350hz removed. This will remove the frequency range you’ve selected, similar to using the “filter out selection” feature in Raven Lite. Using the Marquee Selection Tool, select the frequency range you want to remove…for most of my recordings this is from about 350-380 hertz (hz) and lower. I have gotten in to the habit of removing the low frequency rumble entirely, so I will describe my method for that first, then an alternate method later. This is actually more like three or four steps with Audition. This will be the test case for the methods details below here it is untouched except that I cropped this sample out from the original, and amplified it some to better show the differences that editing will have on it. Striolated Puffbird, Cristalino Jungle Lodge, Brazil. In the Waveform Display view, you use the Time Selection Tool to select a portion of the recording that you want to remove, and then go to “Edit”, “Delete Selection”, or simply just hit the “delete” key on your keyboard. Audition has the HUGE advantage of being able to load and edit cuts longer than the one minute limit of Raven Lite, and you don’t have to worry about any of that annoying copying and pasting to get longer clips. Step One: CropĪs before, the first step is to crop out the audio you want to edit.
You can also see larger images of all the sonograms and pictures below by clicking on them…this will be especially useful to see the finer details of the results of some of the editing. Use your best judgment and look carefully at the sonogram before starting any editing procedures.ĭisclaimer: to best hear the results of the methods below I recommend using headphones when listening to the examples. However in more complex cases you will not be able to use many of these methods quite as thoroughly. The example I use below is a pretty simple bird sound, so it is easy to not mess with the actual song. Some of the editing techniques below are the same as what you can do in Raven Lite, while others will be entirely new.īefore I start writing about various ways to manipulate a recording let me stress that the cardinal rule of editing a bird sound is to not alter the target signal itself. In this post I will take a sound from a raw unedited start to what I consider a finished state.
ADOBE AUDITION SONG MIXING PROFESSIONAL
It isn’t cheap – but it is a fully professional sound-editing tool and will let you do pretty much anything you want with your sounds.
If this is the case the one I recommend is Adobe Audition. While using just a basic program such as Raven Lite will be sufficient for many recordists, you may find yourself wishing you had a more versatile program for fine-tuning your recordings.
