How to Clear Background Noise Out of a Video

Removing background noise from a video is possible with filters.

Clearing background noise from a video can be accomplished using an audio editing program such as Audacity, Sonar or Peak Pro. These programs will automatically isolate noise and remove it from the video, helping to clarify the sound and improve the audio quality. While this process will not remove all of the background noise, it is effective in removing the majority of the sound. Results will vary depending on how the frequencies of the background noise interfere with the spoken audio and music. In most cases, the background noise will be outside the range of music and dialogue, making it possible to isolate and remove background noise.

Step 1 Open your video with a native video editing program on your computer. Possible programs include Windows Movie Maker, Adobe Premiere, and on the Macintosh, you can use iMovie.

Step 2 Use the "File" menu to "Export" the file as an audio track. Select either "WAV" or "MP3" as the destination format. WAV files are higher-quality files, but they also take up more disk space.

Step 3 Drag the audio file into your audio editing program. This will import the audio and prepare it for processing.

Step 4 Select the "Effect" menu and choose "Remove Noise" from the drop-down menu. Highlight three seconds of the audio that consists of noise only, select "Get Noise Profile" and then click "OK." Choose the "Remove Noise" option again and press "OK." This will remove noise from your audio file.

Step 5 Save the audio file to your desktop. Remove the original audio track from your video editing program by selecting the audio track and pressing "Delete" or "Backspace." Drag the new audio file into the video editing program and "Export" the file as a video file of your choice.

Why Claude Debussy Never Cared About Music Theory

  Claude Debussy was born on August 22, 1862. So, I felt writing a blog post to celebrate would be appropriate. Debussy was a revolutionary composer who challenged the conventions of Western music. He was influenced by the impressionist painters, the exotic sounds of gamelan music, and the symbolist poets. He created a musical language that was expressive, colorful, and atmospheric. One of the most remarkable aspects of Debussy's music is his use of harmony. He did not follow the rules of tonality and functional harmony that dominated the music of his time. Instead, he used modes, scales, chords, and parallel movements that created a sense of ambiguity and fluidity. He also experimented with timbre, texture, rhythm, and form to create musical images that evoked moods and emotions. Debussy's music can inspire us to think outside the box and explore new possibilities in our own compositions. We can learn from his innovative techniques and his artistic vision. We can also apprecia...

List of Musical Techniques and Their Meanings

Musical techniques are the building blocks of any basic music training. These techniques allow performers to improve their coordination and develop accuracy through repetitive daily exercises. Musical techniques progressively build upon previously learned techniques. Scales Scales form the basis for other musical techniques. Student may study major and minor scales as well as modern scales, such as the whole-tone and octatonic scales. A scale consists of patterns of half steps and whole steps. These whole steps and half-step arrangements will be different for each scale. Scales are musical techniques that can help a performer to play faster and more accurately, and make learning new pieces easier. Chords Chords require knowledge of major and minor scales. Chords come in several different forms that affect the sound. Triads consist of three notes spaced a third apart and classified as major, minor, augmented and diminished chords. Seventh chords build on triads and have an additional no...

Similarities of Classical and Baroque Music

Music has evolved through the centuries and undergone drastic changes. One of the most significant transitions was from the Baroque to the Classical period of music. In this paragraph, I will compare and contrast some of the main features of these two styles, such as ensembles, instrumentation, and counterpoint study. The Baroque and Classical periods of music have many similarities. While the style of music changed drastically, certain key elements remained the same between the two styles. Composers in the Classical period sought to simplify music and create clearly audible musical lines. In contrast, composers from the Baroque period were interested in creating complex and highly ornamented musical lines. The Baroque period occurs from approximately 1600 to 1750, and the Classical period extends from 1750 to 1820. Ensembles Ensembles are groups of musicians that perform together. Both the Baroque and the Classical period had similar types of ensembles, such as operas, orchestras, str...
