In this insightful episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody tackle one of the most common challenges faced by audio engineers and producers: cleaning up unwanted noise in recordings. From vocal artifacts to background hums, noise can detract from the clarity and impact of your mixes if left unchecked. Join us as we explore the four main types of audio noise—non-musical noise, vocal noise, instrument noise, and audio editing noise—and dive into practical solutions for eliminating them before the mixing stage.
