Working with audio files before Importing into Storyline
Jan 10, 2017
Hello, I have some raw audio files in .wav and .mp3 format that include narration of the modules of a course. I have one .wav or .mp3 file for each module. The voice is very soft in these files and needs some optimization. These files should be broken into separate audio files for each slide of each module and then imported into Storyline. I am thinking of optimizing them at first and I am familiar with Audacity to do that. So I am suggesting applying several effects Audacity has (amplifying, normalizing, noise removal etc.) to each of these .wav files and then start cropping them in order to produce a final .mp3 file for each slide.
Does anybody think of a better approach? Is there a specific tool to optimize soft voices
Thank you in advance

Especially I need advice on how to remove the effect of the sound produced when you speak close to the microphone
Hi Teo, Tim Slade wrote a blog post a while ago on how to remove background noise using Audacity. I thought it was well done and it might help with what you are trying to do.

Thank you Nancy, it was really helpful. However, I want to see if there is any other option to remove the sound generated when speaking close to the microphone
You could try applying the Fix Clip effect. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/clip_fix.html
