If you shoot video from your iPhone or mobile device, you know the audio it produces can be less than ideal. There’s often a lot of background noise and while your voice may be loud and clear, someone else’s voice who’s further away from the camera may be quiet and soft.
Here’s how I go about extracting the audio my phone’s video files and leveling it so everyone is at equal volume.

Sorry for the spelling errors a quick not typing !
Hi thanks fir your tips on how to editing the voice recordings. I have a question may be you will be able to help.
I have a length of recording of the early morning sound birds singing during the lockdown Oh my what a beautiful sound( but it was also airrinley salient not sound of traffic or sirens). The recording was done from my iPhone and it was really sensitive and it has also picked up my koi pound filter water outlet ! Yes it was just silently been returned back to the pound which you would not normally hear it during the normal time). Now when I played back my sound birds singing especially when I have to turn up the volume the back ground pipe of the water outlet is getting louder and startled to cause low noice pollution to the ear and the spoil my sound birds singing nose.
Is there a way to just eliminate the background low level persistent of my koi pound water flow (sounds like " Bloomb bloom bloom …!) which kind of spoils my sound birds singing.
Thanks for your help

If you want I can send over the clip
hello i have a recording from my house phone to my iPhone( i was recording a person) that i want to clear out the noises but i don't know how??
can someone help me thank you
Yes please do a video on the Adobe Audition. My first time listening and you rock! I subscribed🎉🎉
My phone over modulates my voice, not sure how you can lower the mic/voice on the mobile
Hey tim i have a clip that i really need to clarify the soft whisper in the background but am unable to down load the programs due to slow connection here at my home. I was wondering if you can help me bring the clarity of the voice in my recording.
A free alternative to Adobe Audition is Audacity 🙂
Hi Tim
My wife and I started youtube a year ago. And doing good. Have 4000 subs!! We use a alav lav mic. Should we still convert to aif ? We are learning so much from you!! Keep up your great work!!!
Where can I find the Convert to AIFF app?
Hi Tim, Don't know if you are still around. I shot something important in a big echo chamber room with a high ceiling. I need to find a software that will help take echo or the natural room reverb out of the audio….. Do you know of anything…..? Thanks
I didn't realize that you use your phone for these videos. I think you should make that fact known to more people because your videos are awesome and it might help people to know that such amazing videos are created worth a phone.
I use Avidemux and Audacity to clean up audio in post production. How do you feel about those? Do you think paid products are more useful than free ones like those?
if i sent you couple videos could you help me to clear them up? i tried and failed a couple times if so thanks a lot. im not very technology smart haha
Love your videos! I shoot rock bands in clubs. I use a Samsung camera and a Galaxy V in a Beastgrip rig with a Takstar condenser Mic mounted on it and connected to the phone. On the phone, I keep the mic set at +10db. It works pretty well except for low notes and drums, which are terribly distorted. Do you have any tips on cleaning up the distortion?
thanks for injfo
I have an I phone 5s. I recorded a video and I cant hear anything. Is there a way to fix the audio sound? Im trying to prevent recording it all over again. please help thank you
so I have a few great videos from a concert but it sounds terrible!! too much interference! can you help?
Anyway to clean up sound/audio (not sure if it's the right terminology) which is distorted from a video clip recorded at a concert?
Great to learn that you record with an iPhone! They are great! This is encouraging to me since I record all my videos with an Android phone.
Oh, you mean like this? youtube.com/watch?v=cfQe1-OzZdM
That's not exactly what I mean, like some more popular YouTubers have another URL redirecting to their channel. Is that possible?
You have to create another Google account and use it to create a new YouTube account. There's no way to have two YouTube accounts under the same Google account, if that's what you're wondering.
Hey Tim,how do you get a second URL? Like Nigahiga has RyanHiga, or YOMYOMFNetwork has YOMYOMF. I'm a partner but not part of a network (Neither is Ryan though). I've been looking for ages so it would be greatly appreciated if you reply. Thank you! 🙂
Yeah, a few other commenters have said the same thing. It's been a long time since I've used Audacity. I should check it out again!
