Using Noise in Audio Production

Importance of Noise Usage

• Crucial to know when and how to use noise
• Different applications can enhance or detract from a track

Types of Noise

White Noise

• Selected using dice setting on CL UPA 3 exhaust
• Contains all frequencies at once, sounds non-tonal
• Automated EQ creates a simple sweep
• Can be played around with, smoothed, reverbed, and swept in any way
• Rich in frequencies, useful for layering sounds
• Many synthesizers (SS) have noise options like W for experimentation

Noise in Background

Subtle Noise Techniques

• Vinyl crackle or silent ambient noise fills out background
• Enhances atmosphere subtly
• Example: Paul McCartney recorded "Blackbird" outside for natural ambiance

When to Avoid Noise

• Noisy vocal recordings are problematic
• Solution: ASUS Noise Reducer for quick, high-quality noise removal
  • Drag and drop sample online
  • Good quality noise remover
• Mention of sponsorship for the noise remover tool

Manual Noise Applications

• Creative uses like simulating environments (e.g., car, jungle, haunted house)
• Advanced use: creating white noise for sleep tracks
• Potential to monetize well
