This audio production tip will save you in editing maybe not every time but when you need it you’ll have it.
While you’re still at your recording location, whether you’re in a studio or under the bleachers or at the local Starbucks, record one minute with no one talking. Keep everyone in the same position, including your subject if possible. This is called “room tone”. Every place has a certain “sound”, even a room with no one in it in the dead of night.
Now, when you get back to your editing room/studio/suite/airplane seat and you have clean up a bunch of “ahs” or a burp or some other extraneous noise don’t cover it up. Cut it out. Then on another track put some of your “room tone”. Do it right and no one will ever know you had to edit your audio.
