Re: What are your top tips and best practices for reducing background noise?
I use a hardware expander/gate, but you can do the same thing with software. I like the hardware option because it can save a step in or even eliminate the need for audio editing.
By the way, a noise gate mutes a signal if it falls below a set threshold. For example, you can set the gate to block background noise from an air conditioner. However, when you speak while the air conditioner is running, its noise will still be recorded. This is where an expander comes in, as it can reduce the volume of the air conditioner noise.
Re: What are your top tips and best practices for reducing background noise?
The DBX 286s pre-amp (usually paired with a Scarlett 2i2 interface) is awesome and relatively low cost if you can't be bothered messing around with software after recording and/or if you want to eliminate background noise in live meetings or streams.
You'll need a decent microphone with it as others have commented.
Re: No Udemy Sales
Hi @RonErez
- Udemy generally runs sales every Tuesday, Wednesday and sometimes Thursday. However, the "quality" of these sales often leaves much to be desired. Sometimes I have tons of sales when a Udemy promotion is running. Other times sales are not so great. Overall I think this is consistent with Udemy gradually deemphasizing the market place.
