Dealing With Lipsmacks and Mouth Clicks in Post

If lipsmacks and mouth noises aren’t avoided in the recording process, then removing them in post can happen in several different ways:

• For big loud lipsmacks it’s usually better to remove them manually in the editing process.
• Regarding smaller mouthclicks: If there are only a limited number of mouthclicks, cutting them by hand is OK, but if a particular podcast participant a bazillion mouthclicks then Mouth De-click in iZotope RX is a lifesaver. Also Spiff from Oeksound can do a good job removing mouth clicks.
