Having trouble getting your dialogue audio to sound really present in your film and video projects? In this episode we talk about using compression and normalization to sweeten up your sound and bring it to the forefront of your mix.
I show how to do this in Adobe Audition but you can do the same thing in most video editing apps like Premiere, or any audio editing app including Audacity, Reaper, etc.
Now I'm not claiming to be an expert on compression, so if you see things that we could improve here, please leave your input in the comments--we love learning to improve!

8 years later tip: When compressing dialogue, try setting attack to the smallest setting possible and set the release to 500ms. It will usually sound better and less compressed that way, while still accomplishing the end goal - making your audio louder.

I agree... But for simple productions.. But. To those that may be interested in a large production.. 1st step : Dialogue editing Dialogue Volume match, Possibly de-noising, ect. Then its to Mixing..... Sometimes Room ambient matching, and real time processing is key here... , EQ-ing, Dynamics, ect...., .....Dynamic processing is the bookend. Especially in Film. Things cant be committed to a file...... Real time is a necessity..... . And when you have the tools, its just as quick.

@billstorm929 10 лет назад

Noise reduction is typically done prior to the steps shown here. The reason for that is you do not want to increase and compress the noise. The point is to to get rid of as much of it as possible before those stages.Having said that once you do normalize or simply increase the gain you may now detect noises that you previously did not notice. In that case apply the proper filters that selectively target the specific noise types. Once you have done that and have the cleanest signal you can then it it is time to apply special effects and/or processing such as compression, loudness maximizing. limiters etc.. The biggest cause of problems starts at the recording stage. Make sure your levels are correct at that time AND what ever you do make sure you do not use the camera's built in mic.. Spend a few dollars and use an external mic and better yet connected to a separate recorder whose .track(s) you can sync up in post. Properly done that is your best insurance to capture quality sound with the least noise.

Just wanted to send you a note telling you how grateful I am for your videos and sharing your knowledge. Your audio tutorial here has really helped my productions immensely. I am a professional video editor by trade (Dirty Jobs, American Chopper, Biggest Loser,, etc.), but I was never trained in audio. I would always go to the final mix, but had no idea what they were doing. So when I would try to make personal videos, they always looked good but had audio issues. Your tutorials have given me great insights as to how to better mix my own audio, and what a difference. Thanks!

I'm a videographer (depositions) and I've been using compression in the field for many years. Your video is a very good intro for other videographers to understand why we want to use it, and the settings you used are close to what I recommend for field compression. That was a good example that demonstrated the audible difference too. I'm glad I ran across your video. Post processing is one way to add compression, but you can actually compress in the field too, and then you don't have to use post! I use small portable units like the FMR RNC (around $150). Some of your viewers might not have audio processing software, and field compression is another way to get it done. The biggest benefit to field compression is the the additional freedom that it gives the videographer. With the lows boosted by makeup gain, and the high volume parts attenuated, the audio naturally takes much more care of itself and leaves you to focus your attention on other aspects of the job. It's practically automatic audio. Great video, thanks for posting it!

@TwoTrakMind 5 лет назад

Great tutorial! Thank you! One thing that should be mentioned is that normalization doesn't always return the desired outcome. At times, the levels may actually unexpectedly drop significantly, for no apparent reason. The reason for this is that there are often mic pops, or electronic spikes in the audio that shoot above 0dB, causing the normalization to lower the overall volume. This can be really difficult to address, because even a single sample containing a pop will result in a lowering of the levels, and will be very difficult to isolate.

@curtisjudd 5 лет назад

Agreed. This is one of my older videos. These days I loudness normalize using LUFS/LKFS instead of peak normalizing like here.

I know this is an old video and you've probably learnt a lot by then but thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in an easy to understand way. There's a wealth of information in the comments section also. Just my two cents on how the compressed signal sounds. It sounds kind of unnatural but then again I know this is just a demonstration of the basic compression settings (perhaps even softer settings would make it sound more natural). Also what's good with a compressor is that it leaves more headroom for sound engineers to work with their mixes. It's a tradeoff as always. And also it can be a lifesaver if there is a huge dynamic difference in the signal recorded and also for live streams because in this way you voice won't make someone's ears bleed if you start shouting and they are using headphones. So lot's of uses for that. It's true also what you said that it brings the voice more in the "foreground" than in the "middle" of the recording. I am almost a complete newbie myself, but I have an appreciation for good sounding audio and am trying to learn more. Cheers and thank you again! :)

@curtisjudd 3 года назад

Yes, learned a LOT since I made this video. Biggest thing is to use a longer release time for spoken word content. I find that starting at around 500ms on the release helps a LOT to produce a more transparent sounding compression.

@thatsrich944 2 года назад

My flow for working on dialogue is to take a noise print and remove the noise first. Then I look at the waveform and if there are a lot of large peaks I will add a hard limiter at an appropriate level to set the peaks at nearly but not exactly the same level, to retain character. Then I add some compression so that there's a visual uniform difference between the loudest and quietest levels. Then if needed, I will add an EQ and address the quality of the sound to make it smooth and rich. Finally, I normalize, usually to -0.1 db. Cheers!

@curtisjudd 2 года назад

Thanks Rich. The only thing I’d be careful about is that if you’re going to export/encode the audio to a lossy format, you should leave more headroom than -0.1dB. It is best to leave -1.5dB true peak because most encoding algorithms will remove some of that headroom and your audio can still clip if normalized to -0.1dB.
