Editing sound files is one of those. I\u2019ve always edited my files so I get better quality, but it\u2019s a bit of a rabbit hole because you can spend way too much time on it. \/\/ <em>Pour ceux et celles qui sont en train d\u2019apprendre comment faire un balado, ces modules contiennent plusieurs suggestions qui vous permettront de cr\u00e9er un balado de bonne qualit\u00e9, mais beaucoup d\u2019entre elles ne sont pas n\u00e9cessaires. Le montage de son en fait partie. J\u2019ai toujours fait du montage pour obtenir la meilleure qualit\u00e9, mais c\u2019est un peu comme un trou de lapin parce qu\u2019on peut y passer trop de temps.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I\u2019m giving you here are four simple suggestions that will immediately improve your sound quality without costing hours of work. \/\/ <em>Je vous propose ici quatre suggestions faciles qui&nbsp; am\u00e9lioreront imm\u00e9diatement votre qualit\u00e9 de son sans vous co\u00fbter des heures de travail.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, you don\u2019t need to do them. \/\/ <em>Mais, vous n\u2019\u00eates pas oblig\u00e9s de les faire.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m using Audacity to do the edits. \/\/ <em>J\u2019utilise Audacity pour faire le montage.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you\u2019re seeing is the unedited sound file for the PSA I recorded for another of these videos. \/\/ <em>Ce que vous voyez est la version pr\u00e9liminaire du fichier de son pour l\u2019annonce que j\u2019ai enregistr\u00e9e pour un autre de ces vid\u00e9os.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The four suggestions I\u2019m going to demonstrate are, noise reduction, fading in at the beginning and fading out at the end of the file, removing dead air and useless sounds like breath intakes, and then finishing up with a full compression and loudness normalization to make the overall sound file the right volume. \/\/ <em>Les quatres suggestions que je vais vous pr\u00e9senter sont les suivantes: la r\u00e9duction du bruit, un d\u00e9marrage fondu au d\u00e9but et un d\u00e9marrage fondu \u00e0 la fin du fichier, l&#8217;enl\u00e8vement du silence de radio et des sons inutiles tels que les respirations, et enfin, la compression compl\u00e8te et la normalisation de l\u2019intensit\u00e9 sonore pour que le fichier de son ait le bon volume.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>0:56 (Christine)<\/strong> So first we&#8217;re gonna do some noise reduction. \/\/ <em>Nous allons donc commencer par r\u00e9duire le bruit.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you&#8217;ll do is, you&#8217;re gonna zoom in so you can find it easily. Here&#8217;s a piece here that you don&#8217;t want. It&#8217;s obviously just a bit of sound. I always highlight that and go to \u201cnoise reduction\u201d, get my \u201cnoise profile\u201d so it knows what it&#8217;s gonna look for. Select the whole thing and then tell it to do noise reduction. \/\/ <em>Ce que vous allez faire, c\u2019est zoomer pour pouvoir le retrouver facilement. Voici un morceau que vous ne voulez pas. C\u2019est \u00e9videmment d\u2019un peu de son. Je le s\u00e9lectionne et j\u2019utilise l\u2019option de r\u00e9duction de bruit, et j&#8217;obtiens mon profil de bruit pour qu\u2019il sache ce qu\u2019il va chercher. S\u00e9lectionnez le tout et dites-le de faire de la r\u00e9duction de son.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1:23 <\/strong>You can see that it&#8217;s disappeared. The next thing you want to do is pick up a piece of sound that&#8217;s dead air so that you can cover over things that didn&#8217;t get captured in that. \/\/ <em>Vous pouvez voir qu\u2019il a disparu. La prochaine chose que vous voulez faire est trouver du silence pour couvrir les choses qui n\u2019ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 captur\u00e9es dans ce son.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we&#8217;re gonna copy that and then we&#8217;re just gonna go over everything. That looks like a bit of sound that you don&#8217;t want and take this piece out\u2026 take some of this out\u2026 OK? So that&#8217;s pretty good. \/\/ <em>Nous allons donc copier cela et ensuite nous allons tous passer en revue. On dirait qu&#8217;il y a un peu de son dont on ne veut pas et on enl\u00e8ve ce morceau&#8230; on enl\u00e8ve un peu de \u00e7a&#8230; OK ? C&#8217;est d\u00e9j\u00e0 pas mal.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2:19 <\/strong>Now, the next thing we&#8217;re gonna do is fade in and fade out since we&#8217;re at the end, I&#8217;m just gonna select the end here and do a fade out. That way it&#8217;s a smooth process, a smooth transition between this sound file and the next one. And then we&#8217;re gonna go to the front and do a fade in. We&#8217;ll take up some of this dead air. \/\/ <em>Maintenant, la prochaine chose que nous allons faire est un fondu entrant et un fondu sortant puisque nous sommes \u00e0 la fin, je vais juste s\u00e9lectionner la fin ici et faire un fondu sortant. De cette fa\u00e7on, la transition entre ce fichier sonore et le suivant se fera en douceur. Ensuite, nous irons \u00e0 l&#8217;avant et ferons un fondu entrant. Nous allons reprendre une partie de l&#8217;air mort.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3:00 <\/strong>Ok. Now, the next thing we wanna do is compression and loudest normalization. So you&#8217;re gonna select the whole thing and go to \u201ccompressor\u201d, \u201cloudness normalization\u201d. Now, I usually set this at -18, any more than that it&#8217;s gonna reduce it too much, didn&#8217;t see much change there and that way you&#8217;ve got a fairly clean sound file. Ok. There we go. \/\/ <em>D&#8217;accord. Maintenant, la prochaine chose que nous voulons faire est la compression et la normalisation du volume sonore. Vous allez donc s\u00e9lectionner l&#8217;ensemble et aller \u00e0 &#8220;compressor&#8221;, &#8220;loudness normalization&#8221;. J&#8217;ai l&#8217;habitude de r\u00e9gler ce param\u00e8tre sur -18, si c&#8217;est plus que \u00e7a, \u00e7a va trop r\u00e9duire le son, je n&#8217;ai pas vu beaucoup de changement ici et de cette fa\u00e7on, vous avez un fichier son assez propre. Je n&#8217;ai pas vu beaucoup de changement ici et de cette fa\u00e7on vous avez un fichier son assez propre. Nous y voil\u00e0.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3:37 <\/strong>When you\u2019re satisfied, save your file with a memorable name and you\u2019ve got a simple, edited sound file that sounds great. \/\/<em> Lorsque vous \u00eates satisfait, enregistrez votre fichier avec un nom m\u00e9morable et vous obtenez un fichier sonore simple et qui sonne bien.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Faire le montage d\u2019un fichier de son\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v--W4ReTnRk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
