What is the difference between 'remove background noise' and 'noise reduction'?

Both remove background noise and noise reduction are features that make your recording sound clean and professional, but there are a few differences to note:

Noise reduction

  • A filter that can be toggled on/off in the studio before or during recording
    • Applies to all participants' audio tracks
  • Changes the raw audio that is recorded
  • Cannot be removed from the recording tracks after the recording session is complete

Remove background noise in the editor

  • A filter that can be toggled on/off in the editor after recording, before exporting
  • Changes the audio in the recording track that you export from the editor
    • Does not change the raw recording ('non-destructive')
