Can I remove background noise from video in the browser?
Yes. The Fairlight page includes dialogue cleanup tools for common location problems such as hiss, hum, clicks and rumble. The result depends on how much the noise overlaps the voice and how much processing the recording can take.
Should noise reduction come before or after EQ?
Remove the obvious noise first, then shape the voice with EQ and dynamics. If you EQ first, a compressor can react to a noise bed you have not controlled yet. Compare every step with the original at matched loudness.
Why does the voice sound watery after cleanup?
The reduction is working too hard or the source has noise in the same frequency range as the consonants. Lower the amount, narrow the repair or accept a little room tone. A natural voice with a faint noise floor is usually better than a silent but metallic one.
Can I clean up audio without a separate DAW?
For interviews, YouTube, courses and corporate video, the built-in page covers the everyday chain. Heavy sound design, music production and large restoration jobs may still belong in a dedicated audio application.
Does the cleanup apply to every delivery version?
The audio belongs to the timeline, so the same cleanup is heard in the versions rendered from that project. Recheck a vertical or broadcast delivery if it uses a different loudness target or a different mix.
What if the noise is in the music or effects too?
Treat each track by its role. Dialogue usually gets the most care, while music and effects can mask a small amount of room tone. Do not run the same aggressive pass across the whole mix; it will flatten the parts that were already clean.
