Hello Adobe community,

I had a very interesting problem that I still can’t find a solution to. The point is that when I record a voice in Adobe Audio Audition, there is a lot of superfluous in the recorded sound .. Let's say some strange sounds or saliva or clicks, well, something like that .. As I understand it, my microphone, RODE-NT | USB is very sensitive and records sounds that make my voice not clear, but with small extra sounds like clicks and so on .. Is it even possible in this program to make them non-existent or at a minimum? Well, or make my microphone less sensitive to voice. I will be extremely grateful to your answer!

Thanks one more time,

KirkinS

As mentioned you can prepare before you record with a warm drink (honey and lemon as SuiteSpot recommends). Make sure you don't take milk or any other dairy (like chocolate). Also, try an apple before recording.

 

If all else fails there is a DeClicker in the Diagnostics panel but I'm not sure how well this will work. If it's just a few obvious clicks you can use the technique I show in this video to remove them.

I find that the Rode mics (which are good value mics) tend to be a little toppy for my liking so I will assume the Rodents are probably the same.  However, I would doubt that they are any more sensitive than any of my Neumann mics so I don't think 'sensitivity' is the issue.  Possibly your input gain is set too high but hard to tell.
Remember, a mic will/should only pick up what is there - some better/clearer than others so the source may well be producing lots of 'saliva or clicks'.
Are you using a pop filter?
It would be helpful if you were to post a sample so we can have a listen and better advise.

This is mostly going to be about the mic actually picking up what's there in the voice, and also somewhat about the position of the mic. These noises are always worse if you are facing the mic directly, and it's slightly below your mouth. You are better off with the mic slightly above your mouth, and speaking across it rather than directly at it. This also has the advantage of reducing 'blast' noise.

 

But most of this can be fixed by paying attention to what's happening with the performer. If, for instance, you drink something like milk before recording, you are almost bound to get clicky and slurping noises. Coffee doesn't help either, nor does fruit juice. If you have somebody with this problem, the only really sensible thing to drink during recording is water. You might be surprised at how much difference this can make...

I find hot water with honey works best but that could be just me
