Okay, I was recording some Minecraft gameplay. The mouse and button clicking noise is ridiculously loud and annoying. It pretty much makes my voice the background sound. Could something help me with reducing the sound of the clicking. Thank you.

It could be done with VirtualDub or some other editing software.

I don't think so. He's only recording one channel of audio, so if he talks while he clicks and he removes the click he removes the talking bit too.

The only thing that came to my mind is to find the sound in the game's files and delete it or replace it with a blank sound. I don't know how Minecraft's files are organized though. There's no option of turning the sound off in the game settings either I suppose?

I still want the game sound. Do you think it's coming from the computer itself? Or the sound of clicking is coming though my mic?

I thought you meant the clicking sound from the game, isn't that what you meant?

I mean the sound of my mouse and buttons clicking when I press them. It's extremely loud and is about the same level as my voice.

FRAPS - Crap
Try this: Bandicam
You can also try this: Game Booster 3.5 BETA (Featuring Video Recorder - No watermark, No timeouts) But I head they have some problems with Minecraft. Though, worth to try.

That's weird. If it is the physical sound of the buttons that you are talking about then the mic is the one picking it up obviously. Are you using some sort of volume boost option for your mic? That could vastly amplify all sorts of noises picked up by the mic.

@Dr. John13 Fraps is not crap. It may not be able to compress video but it works great. Compression on the fly\whilst recording would affect performance anyway.

Disable any sound themes, certain sound themes will cause the mouse to make a click noise. If your mouse is physically making the click noise, I suggest you try another mouse.
For recording, some will option called "What You Hear", this will only record what the computer hears from within the OS and will not pick up any outside noise. I don't remember if it will record your voice, if you set it to that option, but you can try it out.

Depending on how much time you want to spend working on this you could do this:
The free way....
Use VirtualDub to export the audio track to an audio file.
Open that file with Audacity to remove or reduce the click. There is a "click removal" filter that's meant for removing the clicks from recording LPs but could help here as well. Just find a clean sample, meaning no other noise like you talking or game sound if possible, and run the filter.
Save the new audio file
Open your video editor, even VirutalDub should work, and replace the original audio track for your new one.

The costly way....
Adobe Premiere is a very good video editor and can edit the audio track as well. I'm not sure how much control you have on the audio track but I'm sure it's more vast than most cheap and free video editors which usually only offer; add, replace, fade in/out and maybe amplify.
More so if you get the CS that includes Premiere and Adobe's audio editor (I forget the name) then you'll likely be able to open the video in Premiere and tell it to open the track in the Adobe audio editor to tweak it and save it and switch back to Premiere where the changes would happen instantly without having to import a separate audio file. I'm not 100% that can happen but having dealt with other aspects of Adobe CS's in the past with other things that this sort of thing did happen, then I don't see why that couldn't be true with that as well.

Thanks for all the replies. I think it could possibly be the mic and the mouse. The mic is a cheap $30AUS one and the mouse makes a pretty loud clicking noise. I might invest in a a one of both. I have heard that the Blue Snowball is a good mic for about $100US. I guess it would probably block out most background noise.

You can get a new mic all you want. If the mouse click is as loud as you say then even turning off noise reduction won't stop it.
Noise reduction is more like like cutting out air noise. If you go into a room with nothing in it and don't move and just listen you can still hear a noise of just the air moving around, that is what I mean.
