Audio Improvement

Post processing is best avoided. Use pulseeffects to filter the input audio. There's a useful post here. I have good results using these options:

  • Webrtc/Noise Suppressor: High
  • Suppressor: Downward -> Needs work with the built in microphone, sounds good except when I speak loudly.
  • Gate: Defaults
  • Limiter: S, P, Bs, etc need to be caught to not distroy the recording. -2db gain. The equalizer is also useful if you want to get fancy. These settings should all be saved in a pulseeffects configuration file.

  • Phone Videos
  • USB Camera
