Keep only your voice, drop everything else
One take, a pile of problems, music, wind, traffic, a dog, all at once, and all you actually need is your voice.
The setup
Keep only
"people speaking" ยท preset
Step by step
- 1 Drop your video or audio file into SoundScrub.
- 2 Set the mode to Keep only.
- 3 Pick "people speaking" from the sound list.
- 4 Run it. You get the file back with only that kept and everything else dropped.
Why this works
Instead of removing each noise one at a time, Keep only with "people speaking" holds the speech and drops everything that isn't a voice, in a single pass. It's the fastest way to rescue a messy recording when the voice is all you want.
Honest heads-up
You keep all the speech, so any other talking in the clip stays too, it can't pick one speaker. And you lose the ambience entirely.
Common questions
How do I remove all the background noise from my vlog and keep my voice?
In SoundScrub, set the mode to Keep only and pick the "people speaking" preset. That holds the speech and drops the music, wind, traffic, and everything else in one pass, instead of removing each noise separately.
Why Keep only instead of removing each noise?
One pass instead of several. When the voice is the only thing you want, keeping it drops the music, wind, and noise all together.
Two people are talking. Can I keep just one?
No. It keeps speech as a group, so both voices stay. It doesn't separate one person from another.
