please help problem of removing breaths from audios for mixt

[Mc Cubz]

hi i need someone that knows about mastering to help me please:

im making a mixtape, and I have a few recordings and will have many more, but theres big gulps of air/breaths between certain words, cos of the faster flow i use.

basically I have tried using noise gates and dynamics processing but it doesnt seem to remove the breaths well at all, if it does, i.e. if i make a higher noisegate then some of the actuall words are dampened down alot aswell.

please could someone give me some feedback about this, and also, if it is eaiser I could send them an example of an acapella they may play around with. I have also tried selecting the breaths manually with the pella on a high zoom on cool edit, but if i delete them or lower the amplitude it seems to not flow at all overall when i play the whole pella.

this is for a mixtape so its quite important to me, if anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated and acknowledged!

safe newy

noise gate is usually bad for the acapella, because it cuts of a low frequency which is mainly the 'bulk" of what your saying it's like the bass of what your saying and it makes ur pella lose energy.. I'm not positive about this but i think i'm right.

Aiyo u dont need to remove them. However if u rly want it, search ur waveform and remove them one by one by amplying each one to -96db

He said he's already tried that,....

btw send me a sample, i'll try something.

seems like you tried everything you could... I don't know any other ways to remove breathing sounds... but selecting them one by one and cutting like 5-6 db usually works fine... it might sound weird to you, but that's because it's only the acapella, and you're used to the "unedited" one maybe... if you put it on beat, and show it someone else,I'm pretty sure he/she/they won't notice it

thanks man, well I did retry lessening the amplitude of the individual breath noises on cool edit, also I tried all the editing stuff u and another person has said, plus a few of my own on a track ive alread upped called dont bully me:

i used the following edits:
noise removal
dynamic processing soft -18 limit
ur preset reverb on that thing u wrote in tom aguanis; explanation
graphic eq basically a flattened u shape, so abit extra low end bass and high treble
ff filter heavy and wide it may have said high and wide cant remember
which basically took awa bass and added treble
dynamic processing soft -18 limit
ur preset hard limiting on that thing u wrote in tom aguanis; explanation
chorus effect - a reli tight one so u dont notice it of 2

personally i fink it sounds beta than the origional one but im not happy wid it does anyone have any feed back on it, not on the track itself, just the sound quality/masatering

thanks alot man

ps thanks tash n kojac aswell

you know all you have to do is highlight the breath and amplify it to -100 or the maximum negative level and it wont screw up anything

ye fanks mate

oh btw, I listened to it 2 days ago but forgot to reply lol... your recording sounds fine, I think it has a little too much high frequencies (just a little)... but other than that it's fine I think

adn by the way, I didn't write that tutorial you talked about, I read it like 2 years ago and sent it to thomas

[B.A.D.]

Cubase de-esser at a certain rate will nearly remove them all

Cool edit ...

Effects

Amplitude

Then go to normalize.....mines set at 7 percent for breaths lol...


It will ask u for a percentage... The lower the percent you make it...The lower the volume of it will be...cause u dont want to silence it or it will fuck up the pella if ur not careful...But trust me... if you just lower the sound of the breath it actually sounds natural, and it adds a good effect to the song

[Vettori]

Nice track btw u never sent me this haha...If yo udo have questions about sum things from cool edit or w/e lemme know i might have ur awnsers
