Go to the Effects menu -> Compressor and bring down the Threshold to about -16dB through -18dB. The next step will be to add a compressor which will increase the vocal volume and help add a little clarity. You have now reduced a large amount of background noise or possible distortion. Once you have registered that information the tab will close and you may highlight the entire track, head back to Noise Reduction and click the “OK” button at the bottom. Here you will want to click “Get Noise Profile”. To do this highlight the first few seconds you recorded and click Effects -> Noise Reduction. Editing Your Vocalsīefore we add any effects we want to get rid of all the background noise possible from your track. Now that you have recorded your audio, let’s talk editing. This allows you to have enough background noise registered and makes it easier to eliminate with the noise reduction tool. Once you are ready to hit the record button, make sure to wait 4-5 seconds to allow a gap in the recording before speaking and also after speaking. Most binaural microphones used for ASMR do not have pop filters and you must test out the sound levels with a few practice runs in audacity.

If you are going for a more close up effect for ASMR try lowering the overall recording volume in your audio mixer or gain knob. This will stop you from popping and distorting the audio track. Recording Techniquesīefore actually hitting the record button, take a step back and allow yourself to be a foot away from the mic. This is my step by step guide for all beginners to Audacity, I hope you are satisfied with the results.
