In-Breaths That Are Viciously Loud

In-breath sounds that are super-loud-and-harsh usually occur when a person is laughing really close to the mic. But overall they are kind of rare, so it’s not a widespread problem or anything.

Also, keep in mind that using compression on the whole track will make those vicious breaths even louder.

Therefor, it’s usually best to manually drop the level of these killer breaths to taste by 5-15 dB. But be sure not to drop a breaths level TOO much because that will sound strikingly unnatural.
