You've probably heard of Adobe's Photoshop app, a tool that allows you to cut out extra parts from your photos, make girls' black eyes bigger, and edit image data in a variety of ways.

Audio repair tools used by professional voice engineers

An audio repair tool called RX developed by a software maker called izotope, which is headquartered in Massachusetts, USA. This application is a standard sound adjustment tool in advanced post-production that deals with Hollywood movies. Various sounds can be erased from the audio data.

Sound editing by visualizing the components of the recorded sound

However, handling it requires experience in sound editing, which is not as common as image software.

It can perform various processes, but it features a spectrogram meter that visually visualizes invisible voice. When you import audio data such as Wav or MP3 into the software, the audio components will be displayed like the above video.

For stereo audio, the video that analyzes the sound components recorded on the two left and right meters is displayed. From this visualized image, find the noise you want to reduce and add the necessary processing. It has various functions such as weakening the sound component, blurring, and resynthesizing (resynthesizing).

It is not possible to improve the entire sound with one touch, and even those who can operate many music-related plug-ins need abundant experience and a high-resolution monitor environment to use it effectively . Aside from those with high editing knowledge, it will be almost difficult for an amateur to handle.

If you do a Google search for noise processing, free software such as Audacity will hit the top of the search. Installation is easy but too difficult for a complete layman. Unless you are a hobbyist who handles DAW software on a daily basis, you will spend a lot of time just looking up settings and operation methods.

A voice recorder with excellent functions has a noise canceling function. The noise of "Zawazawa" and "Sur, Shoe" can be reduced to some extent, but loud noises cannot be cut.

Let's think that it is difficult to handle audio data that is quite difficult to hear unless you can master the iZotope RX and Adobe Audition introduced above.

I run a sound quality improvement service and have the opportunity to come into contact with various sound sources, but about 40% of the give-up cases cannot be improved. Momentary noise is relatively easy to remove, but it restores the continuous "Zaah" sound and the "unrecorded sound" that has been completely drowned out by those noises. I can not do it.

In addition, the post-processing accuracy is low for data with a small volume and data recorded with MP3, which is a compressed sound source with low data density, because the distance to the target to be recorded is long. If you would like to refer to more detailed situation-specific cases, please also refer to the following recording example linked article.
