FAQ

Before you begin

Does the voice control remove noise?+

No. It changes the level of the voice only, so noise in the voice track gets louder with it. To take hum, traffic or room noise out of a recording, use Remove Background Noise first.

Should I only boost the voice?+

This page raises the voice against background music at a fixed volume. To reduce music independently, open the related background-volume tool.

Which layer does this slider change?+

It changes the prepared voice track while the music stays at a low volume. Compare the clarity of the spoken instructions rather than just overall loudness.

Can this repair distorted speech?+

No restoration is implemented. Raising the sample voice level does not reconstruct missing or distorted detail in a recording.
