What Hacker News says
6 sourcesI till now haven't figured out how to setup noise reduction in PipeWire. In Pulse, it was very easy. At the present, I'm using https://github.com/noisetorch/NoiseTorch.
(I do like PipeWire)
In Easy Effects: Audio effects for PipeWire applicationsI started posting videos regularly from March this year (probably had 10-20 subscribers before, now have 150+)
>If you watch some of my earlier videos there are a lot of “um’s” and “ers”...started with writing full scripts
I trained myself to go silent instead of ums/aahs/ers. I then changed how I recorded videos a bit so that I can simply use https://github.com/noisetorch/NoiseTorch to remove all the silent portions.
>Writing full scripts did have the benefit that they could more easily be converted into blog posts.
I'm kinda opposite. I was already consistently blogging and have now started adding videos (mostly for short tip posts, haven't tried for longer posts yet).
In I Posted on YouTube Consistently for 1 Month. This Is What Happened>but that’s very Linux-specific and a bit “hardcore” to setup
Have you tried https://github.com/noisetorch/NoiseTorch/?
