  • Why should you loudness normalize your audio? There’s a couple reasons. The first reason, is it will make your video loud enough for people to hear clearly, but not too loud. Another reason to loudness normalize, is it brings consistency to your videos. Loudness normalizing all your videos to the same level, ensures the overall loudness is very similar across your channel. In this video, we take a look at how to set the overall volume level for your videos to -16 LUFS, the target level for uploading to CZcams.

    @Dollectable_Dreams Před 3 měsíci +1

    In another video of yours you set some of these levels, differently. With different values. I've already set the levels following the other video and now I should probably have to change them to follow this. There are so many changes and things that you can do that it really is overwhelming. You do one thing and then discover you should do it differently after having applied the change to all video. :)

    Good morning Serge. I am into making Christian song videos and am deeply frustrated in this matter: the audio of CZcams videos we create sounds so well on all devices except one: mobile phone speakers where the volume is reduced! I will use your suggested method and hope things will be sorted out! One doubt exists in my mind: does the browser you use affect the audio quality of the uploaded videos? Would using Google Chrome instead of Safari help matters? Actually I wish you or someone else would bring out educative videos upon this matter at a greater depth. Anyway, thanks for this video. I have never considered FCPX as the place I could normalise levels of my audios. Have a nice day Serge. You are one on your own: excellent and crisp presentation.

    No matter how many videos I watch about this topic, I still can't for the life of me understand why all the content in CZcams sounds significantly louder than broadcast TV. I watch CZcams mostly in my living room's TV connected to an ONKYO home theater. If I leave my sound system at the same volume as when I watch TV, but switch over to CZcams on the Smart TV, I have to bring the volume down on my home theater from about -12 dB to around -30 dB or my neighbors will hear my TV from their living room.

    I generally make any dialogue or talking to around -6 db and have background music or sounds float around -12 db.
    I sometime double the dialogue tracks to make the sound of the voices thicker. I don't know why this does what it does, but there is a definite difference... presence... to speech tracks where I do this.

  • @eduardo_corrochio
    @eduardo_corrochio Před 2 lety

    There's a CZcams playlist that I compiled for myself from other peoples' existing YT videos, and it is a mix of songs and movie clips. When played, the volume changes from clip to clip; some tunes are soft while a few others play quite loudly; also, the dialogue/movie clips' audio runs the gamut from loud to very quiet. I was wondering if there is a way somehow to change the volume so that most of the videos don't have dramatic differences in sound, and if this can be done in CZcams itself (without using outside apps or software). Thank you.

  • @PetrSalz
    @PetrSalz Před 3 lety

    Hi Serge, my regular built-in green meters in FCPX show peak values that are about 12 dB higher than the values I see on the Multimeter set at True Peak. In your video the meters seem pretty much the same. Any idea what could be causing the difference? As far as I can see I am using the same settings of the multimeter as you are.

    • @PetrSalz
      @PetrSalz Před 3 lety

      Solved this! It turns out that if you increase the volume of the compound clip in the audio track, that increase is not reflected in the multimeter. When I reduce the volume change to 0 dB in the track or in the inspector, the two meters are equal. So your method with the limiter is really the way to go ;)
