![]() ![]() I tried a few noise reduction plugins as I was experimenting for this video and really, I kept coming to the same conclusion. I find in this workflow, I EQ and compress less than I do if noise reduction comes in later and don’t hear the noise reduction ‘pumping’ the noise and the dialogue as much. If you think about it, the signal processing chain where the noise reduction happens first means that we are in effect ‘cutting’ away things we don’t like about the recordings we’re trying to repair. That would open up the compressor a lot and allow things to retain a little of their natural punch. ![]() If I was going to put my noise reduction after a compressor, I’d likely want a low frequency filter in first in the chain, to carve away the heavy bottom end load. Dialogue pumps a little more and ultimately sounds a little buried if it nails a compressor too early. In effect, I’m mimicking offline noise reduction, which happens at the clip level, prior to any real time plugin instances. To my ear, placing noise reduction after compression in the chain can result in a less dynamic, less bright sounding track. I like to process noise reduction before anything else. ![]()
