@ThePremierePro Here it is, my mix may not be perfect, but if it were not for this tutorial of yours, I would've fallen down a fcking rabbit hole 😂 cheers mate, here is the short..th-cam.com/video/fb2-KRKrFMk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ECR03cizCqa7iLHy
Out of all the videos I've watched so far to help me with my audio/video editing for my TH-cam productions, this one has been the most helpful. As an audio-neat freak, I just want to say thank you so much. Keep on keeping on!
Thank you so much! My videos audio was really bad and I couldn't put it up on TH-cam, I had no idea what was wrong. You fixed the problem and I can finally use them. I am very grateful, thank you.
@@ThePremierePro Well done champ! I learnt so much with this short video! I saw "100% / 100% (content loudness -0.0db) as well!! Just wondering if you have a short video explaining the "Network Activity".. Connection Speed and "Buffer Health"? .. reason being some other channels i watch have a audio artifacts or scratching, fuzziness etc and their video playing sort of in fast motion every now and again... and i notice the "Buffer Health" and "Connection Speed" they have in "Stats4nerds" has different colors like Orange - Green - Blue... where as your video is perfect just displaying all Green "Connection Speed" and all Orange "Buffer Health". I know it may have something to do with my WIN8.1 and Chrome browser wont update anymore, VPN, sound drivers, cache etc etc and that TH-cam video has this "Stable Volume" and " Annotations" thing now in settings... and when i disable the stable volume and annotations that sometimes improves the other channels videos audio, stuttering etc... also TH-cam tends to throw low resolution videos firstly for Mobile purposes and i would have to change video resolutions back to 1080+. Any ideas greatly appreciated on how to fix this audio bug in TH-cam? Cheers mate!
I've been editing video (first professionally...now for fun) for over 10 years. I am a musician and have always manually adjusted and eq'd the audio throughout my videos. As I was working on final touches for audio on a project this morning I thought....I wish there was a way to have Premiere do this for me. Tah Dah!! Thank you sir! I now realize I've wasted a lot of time! : )
Thanks so much for this. As a small youtuber almost pushing the 1k mark, I had noticed my videos were a little softer then other videos I watched on the tube. And now I have a way to actually test if this is true (and a solution) Your a legend and this will help me so much in the future
This is a brilliant help...as a newbie to premiere pro, this has been a lifesaver for me and I use it on all my TH-cam videos! Make sure the mix of VoiceOver and music sounds right to ears, apply these settings and voila! Ready to rock and roll!!!! 🎸
THIS is the video that i have been looking for !!! straight to the point and JUST what I was looking for 😂 Thank you so much !!! because I never knew if my videos were too soft or too loud ... and my phone has a shocking speaker on it .. so It didn't help the situation 😄
Wish I came across this video before I dropped my previous music video… But we learn from our mistakes, I’m not going to delete the video, instead, I’m releasing the next one with a corrected audio volume. Thank you for the brief explanation of the difference between LU and dB, and for providing the information with the easiest way possible.
Same, I posted a youtube video and I can barely hear myself in part of the video but when I played it back in premier pro, it was completely fine. All we cna do is keep learning and grow from our mistakes
I have been looking for this for over a year, reading articles and watching 100’s of videos to no avail. YOU SIR may have just given me the answer for my audio. You are a Gentleman and a Scholar my friend - smashed the like and your subscribe button
I also want to know if I don't apply your effect then what my total sound of video including my background music results in how many Decibels so that It is not so soft or loud for my audience ????
LOVED this man thank you so much! I was stressing out over TH-cam's dumb compression system and I really wanted to know how to bypass it. This was a huge help! Liked and Subscribed :)
Thank you. Saved the settings for future use. I'd upload a video and start comparing my video's audio to other channels and felt like something is wrong. I exported my newest edited video with these settings and compared it to my past exports. Massive difference. I wasted so much time playing around with audio levels, trying to find the best levels lol. Thanks a ton.
Wow, very, very useful tuts indeed bro, I always set my Volume Loudness on my Premiere Pro CC 2022 using "manual/visual peaks" using the meter on the P-Pro, very, very time-consuming and when I upload it to TH-cam, it will still have at least 1.0db, and YT will degrade it to -9db, very Frustrating, Im glad I found your solution. Great thanks! More Power!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SETTING EXISTS after all this time! Could you elaborate more on this subject? Is this really necessary? You could do another video which is the step Before this step about a good mix (if you're going to add this step to your process.) Thanks, sub.
I guess youtube uses -12 to -20 decibels for their max and min now. i learned so much from this video. thank you so much for your empirical tests using stats for nerds! amazing content.
Great explanation - thanks very much. I'd been using Loudness Radar in Premiere (slow and tedious) or exporting audio to Audition to LUF (faff). This is elegantly simple.
Awesome, thanks. Kept trying different equalizer/normalizer/Set Max Peak whatnot in Premiere but since my narration is across three different audio sources, it kept making certain ones a lot louder than the others.
@@ThePremierePro have you ever seen waveform disappear on multi cam clips after cutting for a while? Then they can come back with a render but then go away after more trimming?
@@CreativeVideoTips This is almost always a result of manually created multicam sequences mixing down audio tracks. My latest video on this should fix it so waveforms never disappear: th-cam.com/video/aiVYRuWohZI/w-d-xo.html
I love this video! The information is exactly what I needed! However, I am wondering if there is anything I can do to fix a past upload? Thank you so much for all you do!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I want to say thank u so much, it has been truly helpful for me and everyone else for that matter. Hope you grow further! Take care.
It appears that in 2025 (25.1.0), this setting is gone or moved on export. Does anyone know where it is moved to?
Go to the Export tab, then Effects > Loudness Normalization.
@@ThePremierePro Thank you so much. Quite hidden! Cheers.
@@ThePremierePro It worked! WOO HOO! THANKS!!!!
*Effects Tab*
- Select Loudness Normalization
- Loudness Standard: ITU BS.1770-3
- Target Loudness: -14 LUFS
- Tolerance: 0 LU
- Max True Peak Level -1 dBTP
Seriously -- 4:21 minutes reduced to 3 seconds. Kuddos :)
Where do you find toleranance? I only have "Low Level Below"
even in 2021 this man is still the most underrated legend of premiere to date
You're too kind :)
Oi keep the good shit up ❄️❄️💯💯
@@ThisHeatOnly Thank you sir, will do.
Wow! I learned so much! Didn't even know that info existed on TH-cam as stats.

This is so insanely helpful - thank you!!! Audio balancing is such a struggle for me!
Thanks for making this, super straight forward and simple!
TH-cam content loudness *-47 dB* = Clear example of a video with really low sound. 🙌🏼

My word. I've been on YT since 2017 and had no clue about this information. Still leveling up Premiere Pros 3 years later
Just out of curiosity, when I clicked on your video, stats for nerds, I saw "100% / 100% (content loudness -0.0db). Well done!

As a full time editor, this is amazing
Makes me wonder why the loudness normalization effects aren't applied when using the TH-cam export presets in PP.
Exactly my thoughts.
This is a textbook perfect video. Not too long, explained everything clearly and concisely, then showed us how to do it. Thank you!

This was the only video that helped me solve youtube making my videos so loud after a few days. Thank you.
After a test I am shocked with the result ! Big thanks ! And after years of experience (self-taught), I'm still learning

Thanks very useful. I am looking for a similar guide for videos with music because I think the perceived loudness seems to be different from speech.
This is exaclty what I needed to know and you didn't need to give me your life story for 20 min thanks for the info!
thank you, ive been trying to figure out how to make the audio good for ages. Now I don't have to hurt my ears in the progress of editing anymore
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this! I checked the stats for nerds on my videos and it was...not great. This will certainly help me!
TYVM! You answered a handful of questions I thought I'd have to research each individually. THAT is how you earn them likes! :D
Your channel is gold for editors bro! Find so many good stuff here which I didn't find anywhere else. Keep it up!

Wish broadcast stations did this before uploading their segments to TH-cam. Have to crank some of the late night monologues to get to a decent level.
I have literally said the exact same thing in the past! Late night entertainment used to be the worst offender.
