How to Make Singing Sound Better With an Editor

Using an audio editor such as Audacity, Cubase or Peak Pro 6, you can improve the sound of a singer's voice. Audio filters and compressors can help to make the sound clearer and improve your overall recording. Achieving a professionally mastered sound requires that you understand some basics about audio editing. Once you have mastered the basic techniques, you will be able to increase your ability to create professionally edited songs while improving the timbre of the singer's voice.

Instructions

      Drag the recorded audio file into your audio editing program. This will import the audio and prepare it for the singing editing process.

      Find a few seconds of pure noise with no music playing in the audio file. Highlight three seconds of noise. Click the "Effect" menu or equivalent menu in your program, and then select "Remove Noise" or "Noise Removal." Click the "Get Noise Profile" option and then click okay. Select the "Noise Removal" drop-down option again and this time, press OK. This will remove any excess noise in the file allowing the voice to come through.

      Use the "Compressor" option, usually found in the "Effect" menu to compress the contents of the audio file and make the voice sound fuller. Leave all of the options at the default setting and click "OK" in the compressor dialog box.
