    To get the "gray boxes", click the tiny arrow at the top left corner of the audio track mixer (if you hover above it it will say "Show/Hides Effects and Sends"). By double clicking you can edit the effect like in effect controls.

    You have no idea how much time this saved me. I was manually trying to level out each track for a documentary-style voice-over but realised it was taking me far too long. That's when I decided to look up ways to make this process quicker and easier. Thank you so much for sharing this. You're a total day saver!

  • @Gryflir
    @Gryflir Před 7 lety +57

    Also if you have several audio clips on different audio tracks (let's say A1 and A2), you can create an audio submix track (in Sequence -> Add Tracks).
    Then from the audio track mixer you can redirect A1 and A2 to your submix (click on "Master" above the circles of A1 and A2 and select "submix 1") and be able to use the multiband compressor on it so that it affects all the tracks at once and not separately.

    I have a 45 minute live presentation where the speaker was all over the place. I had a lavalier on her so I had a good signal, but smoothing out the volumes was going to be a keyframe frenzy just like you said in the beginning. This technique will save me probably 2 hours today!!! Thanks again for another greta tutorial, Josh.

    This is 3 years later, but this is the best/quickest video on this topic. I've seen others, and they go too deep into things the average person doesn't need to know (It's great that they exist for those wanting to learn more). Often we just need a quick answer so we can keep editing. Well done sir!

  • @johnnyb198
    @johnnyb198 Před 6 lety +2

    With how you use the tool, you could achieve the same thing with a regular compressor actually. compressors limit peaks and bring up quieter parts making the entire waveform less dynamic. so it doesnt fluctuate in volume and stays audible and in your face.
    The multiband compressor does that, but on separate frequencies. Multiple bands of frequencies. let's say your bass is overpowering and your sharper sounds like "S " and "T" are too quiet. You can compress/gain individual frequency bands to balance it out.

    I am so glad I found your channel. Awesome tutorial and very easy to implement. Until now I have always been using an external software to deal with the audio because I was better used to.

  • @eschelar
    @eschelar Před 7 lety +2

    For CS6 users, you can also take the entire project and lay it into another timeline, then apply the Multiband Compressor effect to the audio track - OR you can simply nest your vocal tracks into one and do the same. Note that you generally cannot nest audio only, but you can always nest whatever and bring in audio via copy-paste.
    Also, for more advanced workflows, here are some tips from how I work.
    Bring all your audio clips into one sequence - Audio Cutter. Track 1. You can color code them at this point.
    Select all, alt-drag up to the next track. Mute track 1. Now you can slice and dice and remove the junk working semi-destructively on Track 2.
    Premiere doesn't have a quick and dirty way to ripple remove the spaces between the clips that I know of, so when I have only "good takes" on Track 2, I will duplicate the sequence, rename the new one to Audio BUS.
    Now select all clips on Track 2. Drag down to track 1. Drag back up to track 2. Now you have used Track 2 to punch holes like a cookie cutter in the contiguous tracks on Track 1. All content on Track 1 matches exactly the spaces between the good content on Track 2. Select all the content on Track 1 and right-click, Ripple Delete.
    This will remove all the spaces and leave you with a nice clean audio track.
    Now you can bring all of that into the Main working sequence. Match the end of the audio tracks to the end of the video clips and start organizing from the beginning.
    Obviously, this only applies if it is voiceover - you'll need to keep your audio-sync'd tracks in line, but this can also give you the primary structure for a mixed voiceover/on-camera vocal track project.
    And come on Josh -
    Audio-Technica ATR3350
    It's less than 30 bucks... Buy it. Shove a battery in it. Turn down the H1n input level so you don't get clipping. Breathe easy...

    The problem I have using this effect is, we record two lavs on separate channels in our zoom h1, which will still pick up each other’s voices. The compressor picks up the quiet other persons voice and cranks it up. The only way I can figure to get rid of this is to cut out the other persons audio manually in adobe premiere, which is very time consuming. Larry
