Well done. I was in the process of preparing to upload a video to RU-vid when I saw this video was on the RU-vid home page. I almost didn't click on it but I struggle so much with sound that I couldn't resist at least giving it a shot. I do most of my sound editing through PP using the Audio Gain function and while this might be OK to do when you have a few clips, it can become very time consuming when you have a lot of audio clips. I've not used Audition before but the next video I make, I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.
thanks colin, i've done as you said (stupid of me i didn't think of this) i've found a few fx sounds to my liking and is now works like a charm... happy and satisfied. no to render al the stuff. cheers.
I'm going to be honest with you AND my comments will criticize me, not you. When I first started watching your videos, I didn't like you. Mind you I had no good reason and I knew it. But even so, every video has been so clear and so valuable that I soon subscribed and watch every one. Thank you for doing this. Your videos are the right mix of information and simple talk. Oh, and you know, now I don't know what I didn't like about you.
Wow, it's refreshing to read such open and honest comments. Hey, we all have moments where we judge too quickly. I really appreciate you hanging in there and seeing the true value in what we offer.
Thanks again, Colin. Could you think about doing a tutorial on matching volume AND “match EQ” in Adobe Audition? I think it would be handy when we are recording a voice in different environments and want to make them some (optimally) like they are the same.
Thank you! When I made the correction, the files have now an underlying humm/buzz. Perhaps add how to fix this problem after the correction or how to compensate for issues that come up as a result of the correction.
My guess is that the noise was there previously but amplified after the gain increase. This might help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iq_6HBcogbc.html
Great video! I was wondering if "Match Loudness" acts like a compressor and adjusts all parts of the audio file to the set loudness value or if it measures the average loudness and adjusts the average only (all peaks still have the same relative distance as before)?
There are 9 different "Match To" settings for things like television broadcast or radio. The final result adjusts the gain of each clip but no compression is added.
Thank you but I was acutally asking if the Match Loudness feature adjusts parts of the waveform individually to get to the setting value or if it adjusts the entire audio clip as a whole (i.e. it only adjusts the average loudness).
what about if I have some clips where the EQ settings are really different. I recordd one file in quicktime and one file in premiere pro and the problem there is that the clip that I recorded within premiere pro has much more low frequency in it. How could I match these two clips? Would greatly appreciate any input on this. Kind regards, Marcel.
Quick question after doing match volume , it seems they're are close in volume BUT when looking at the actual wav ( in logic ) the files don't look like they're the same visually
The Match "Volume" (now "Match Loudness" in the newest update) have several choices and the results are directly affected by that. The visual size of the waveform is not the complete picture of how loud a sound is because humans do not hear every frequency the same as a computer. The best choices for matching loudness have to do with "perceived" levels, or levels that the human ear is sensitive to. So the final result may not visually look matched, but the scientific values (based on human hearing) are correct. (Example 1 in the screenshot) You can use Peak Amplitude to simply set a level and have everything be pushed to that exact value. The waveforms should look the same but many not be perceived that way by human hearing. Just a note that this feature is more for balancing dialog for video broadcast productions and not for music. I would balance musical tracks using compressors and limiters. Here's a screenshot of the settings: i.imgur.com/XRXjBCG.png
Hi Colin, do Audition separate the audio from the video when bringing it into Audition match volume, example, multiple video with different audio levels
+Cliff Wilson - Yes, Audition will make all the audio files available and you can edit them as individual files or put them into a Multitrack. Thanks for you support.
Hey :^) Is the workflow the same for .mov files? That is; do you import the .mov or just the aiff? And do they save back to the existing file or does Audition offer to create another set of audio only files?
It's just the audio that is changing so any format works. You can't replace the audio in a video file, so Audition will have to export out new audio files. If you're using Premiere Pro CC, then the new Essential Sound panel will automatically balance the volume and allow you to make changes; all without rendering any extra audio files. Here's a tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1ZZU-wZhXgo.html
I used three files that I was going to use in the same mixdown, adjusted it to -16 LUFS, then after exporting I noticed a volume difference in one of the files that was supposed to be adjusted. I don't understand why.
If I took one file that was adjusted to -16 LUFS, and put it into a multitrack with another file that had an unadjusted LUFS rating, saved it as an mp3, then went back into Match Volume to adjust the newly exported file to -16 LUFS, what would happen? Would the overall volume change, especially the file that was pre-adjusted to -16 LUFS?
hi Colin thank you for the help i really appreciated it, however i have another question, for example I have a number of files in adobe premiere cs6 most of which has a different volume how do i then take all of those files into Audition match the volume and bring them back into premiere, thank you in advance
Select all the audio files in the Project Bin in Premiere Pro and go to Edit menu> Edit in Audition. All the audio will be extracted and Audition will launch. Do your edits and Save and because you're editing files in Audition that are already in the Premiere Pro Project Bin, any saving you do will instantly update. Note: It's not like Dynamic Link, the editing you do is destructive so don't send back and for too much.
I have a question I have a bunch of clips and I want to reduce noise on all of them by the same amount. I already did noise capture and I want to apply it to all of them at once. Is their anyway to do that?
I also have another question. So I did the match volume and now I want to save all of the clips to apply it to my premiere sound clips how do I save audition without closing the software? Also How do I apply a preset favorite sound recording to all my clips at once so they have the same effect on them without doing each one individually?
+vince d - Once you output your files from Audition, there is no longer a "connection" to those files, they are new files that you then load into Premiere Pro. Here is a tutorial I did on AdobeTV on recording and applying favorites: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KWAh7Nx99EM.html
@@VideoRevealed I have some wav files ripped from different audio cd's. Iam trying to adjust them all to an optimum volume for listening via digital devices since the cd's contain latest releases to releases from 80's.
"Loudness" is a specific and important term as it takes human hearing into account. "Volume" is a scientific measurement that can actually sound different if the gain is within a frequency that is very low or high; which is where human hearing isn't the best.
Is there a way to reduce the volume of someone speaking into a mic? Scenario: I placed a lav mic on someone speaking to a group of people. He was told that he would have a mic on him so everyone could hear him speak. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. However, I placed a lav mic on him for video. The issue is that he spoke extremely loud so everyone could hear him speak & I didn't think to change the settings on my lav mic. His audio is extremely loud (scratchy, aggressive). Is it possible to adjust this in Audition? Thanks.
Awesome. And I literally just watched a video on DeClipper, really ironic. I will definitely try this out. Thanks for the swift response! Love your channel by the way sir!
De-clipping really is sort of a miracle. For the longest time it simply wasn't possible. If the distortion was there, that was it. But because digital distortion can be defined, new curves can be created for the sound waves to follow that are more natural and just lack the flat peaks of distortion. What a life saver. You should report back how it goes for you.
Hysterical you said that considering that I’m sound editing a project I directed with that actor in it and came here to get some tips for sound mixing (before I send it to the real engineer).
+super12058 - You will have to tweak the settings and lower the target volume. If the differences are too great (+-20dB) you most likely will have to process the files with extremely low gain. Or, run a limiter on them before you use Match Volume.
