Introduction

In this episode, we'll read the audio meter and adjust the interview audio level using audio gain and normalize to make it clear without clipping. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Premiere Pro series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Audio is as important as video. Viewers can forgive poor video, but not quiet or clipped audio. In this episode, we'll read the audio meter and adjust the level using audio gain. The teacher interview clip is on V1 and A1.

Step 1: Audio Meter

Play the clip while paying attention to the audio meter next to the timeline. The numbers are in decibels, with 0 at the top. Green is safe, yellow is starting to get loud, red and 0 decibels mean clipping, the audio is broken.

Step 2: View Waveform

Increase the A1 track height by dragging its boundary. The green waveform appears small, its peak is far from the top of the clip. On the meter, the teacher's voice only reaches about minus 20 decibels, which is too quiet for the video.

Step 3: Audio Gain

Select the clip and press G or right-click audio gain. The dialog shows the PIK amplitude, which is the highest peak of the clip. The 'Adjust gain by' option increases or decreases the gain by a specific number of decibels. Select normalize max PIK2, then fill in minus 3 decibels.

Step 4: Normalize Max Peak

Premiere calculates on its own how many decibels to add so the highest peak is exactly minus 3. Click OK.

Step 5: Result

The waveform on the timeline immediately increases. Play it again, the teacher's voice is much clearer, and the meter now peaks around minus 3 decibels. Stay below 0 to avoid clipping. Audio gain changes the base level of the clip before any effects, while volume in the effect controls and rubber band is used to adjust the audio level along the clip.

Step 6: Gain or Volume

Normalize first with gain, then adjust the dynamics with volume.

Done!

Done. We've looked at the audio meter, seen the waveform too small, opened the audio gain dialog, used normalize max peak minus 3 decibels, checked the result, and understood the difference between gain and volume. In the next episode, we'll create volume keyframes and fade the audio. Need a product advertisement video, business profile video, reels and TikTok content, or subtitles for YouTube videos?
