Audacity Audio Post Processing

This is Mike Russell’s Video “5 EASY Steps For Sounding Better in Audacity”. However, I want it formatted for myself and slightly easier to read. The fomat is ENCNL.

1. Equalize

   • Effect > EQ and Filter > Filter Curve EQ
   • Lows: Drop -18db from 100hz to 60z
   • Mid-Range: Peak at 200hz of 1.5db. Rounding from 100hz-300hz
   • Nasal: Drop -1.5db at 1000hz. Round from 600hz-2000hz
   • Highs: Increase 6db from 400hz to 6100 hz

   Effect > EQ and Filter > Filter Curve EQ > Presets & settings > Import this below as a text file

    FilterCurve:f0="59.249598" f1="98.876258" f2="137.07937" f3="198.621" f4="295.5167" f5="999.43922" f6="3997.4965" f7="4984.8605" FilterLength="8191" InterpolateLin="0" InterpolationMethod="B-spline" v0="-40.151863" v1="-0.060172081" v2="1.7621775" v3="1.9140396" v4="-0.060172081" v5="-1.5787964" v6="-0.060172081" v7="6.1661892"
   

2. Normalize Effect > Volume and Compression > Normalize Peak Amplitude to -1dB

3. Compress Effect > Volume and Compression > Compressor Threshold: -20db Make-up gain: 3db Knee Width: 5db Ratio: 2 (I use this for Podcast Audio)

4. Normalize Effect > Volume and Compression > Normalize Peak Amplitude to -1dB

5. Limiter Effect > Volume and Compression > Limiter

You can also support Mike Russell by buying the preset that he has probably better fine tuned.
