If you are using Sonix’s multi-track feature you may experience an issue called “mic bleed”.\u00a0Mic bleed happens when you can hear two or more voices on one track.<\/p>\n

Isolating audio tracks is challenging especially if you have multiple microphones in the same room. Sonix has built technology to help with mic bleed. We can spot areas of duplicated text and remove them from the combined transcript. Having said that, if the mic bleed is loud, Sonix will struggle to isolate voices.<\/p>\n

Mic bleed is less problematic when you record speakers in different rooms or locations. It used to be a logistical challenge to capture each participant on their own audio track, but with all the great communication apps, it\u2019s no longer a problem. If you are using Skype, Zoom, or some other tool to capture the audio, each speaker is using a different microphone input. This helps reduce mic bleed.<\/p>\n

Can I fix mic bleed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are ways to strip unwanted audio from your tracks using other audio tools<\/a> like Audacity, Final Cut, and Pro Tools. The feature is typically called \u201cStrip Silence\u201d which will detect areas in an audio track that are quieter than others.<\/p>\n

Here are the links to instructions on how to strip out mic bleed.<\/p>\n
