6 Ways to Reduce Noise While Recording Dialog

Last updated February 23, 2022

Mixing and recording production dialog is a balance of capturing clear, direct speech with just enough indirect, environmental background sound for context. When there is too much background sound, speech can become difficult to understand. The balance between background noise and speech is referred to as the speech-to-noise ratio. Increasing the speech-to-noise ratio is beneficial not only for recording, but also for on-set communication channels or IFB feeds.

Noise Suppression Options for Field Recording

Last updated February 23, 2022

Noise suppression and reduction software are effective tools for reducing unwanted background sound when recording in difficult, noisy acoustic environments. Although there are many options for noise reduction via a computer, there have been few portable options for running real-time noise suppression live in the field. CEDAR’s stand-alone noise suppression units have been popular choices for sound professionals who needed portable real-time noise suppression on-location. Now, for the first time in production sound history, adaptive, real-time noise suppression is available directly in a mixer-recorder with Sound Devices NoiseAssist and CEDAR sdnx. No additional hardware is required.
