Gain/Volume in Premiere Pro
Hi there and welcome to this video where we're going to be looking at gain. So in Premiere Pro, they actually call gain volume. And if we select our track and go under effects, we can see here, we have volume and channel volume. Let's just look at volume though. So I'm just going to hit this disclosure triangle and I'm just going to make sure any key frames are deleted for the volume and with the slider, we can change the level. So the order we have our audio effects actually makes a difference. And when you record your audio, I do recommend having some headroom so the audio won't clip or distort at the loudest points. And with our audio, we can turn this up with gain. But in this case, it's called a volume. So we can turn up our audio with the gain. So it's louder before it goes into the other audio effects. So going over to the mixer and we have these volume sliders for the different tracks, these volume sliders, however, will actually change the volume after the effects processing. ...
But we gained, we want to change the volume level before it goes into the audio effects. So let's just go back to the effects control and make sure we select our track to see these effects. And later on in the next few videos, we're going to be adding other audio effects. So we're actually going to be adding an EQ ad noise plug in a compressor ad ser a limiter and a loudness meter. And we want the level of the audio to be loud enough before it goes into these effects. And like I said, we control this level with gain. So I just want you to know the difference between gain and volume. So gain is controlling the level before it goes into the effects and volume is controlling the level after it's gone through the effects. So it does seem very similar, but it does affect how the audio is processed later on. We will be turning up the level again with a limiter, but I do recommend setting your gain. So your audio is around about minus six DB if it's already at that level, don't worry, you won't need to add any gain. But for this example, I'm actually going to add 10 DB of gain. So to do this, let's go over to level and here I'm just going to type in 10. So I've added 10 DB of gain. So if I play this audio back now, so in the logic 10.5 update, they got rid of the exs 24 and replaced it with this sampler. So you can see that on this audio meter, our audio is around about minus 60 B. And if I just bypass this volume audio effect and play this audio back, it's got an updated user interface and it's much easier to use. One thing to note our audio. There is averaging around about minus 16 DB, which is why I added the 10 DB of gain. So that's what I really recommend. Try and get your audio around about minus six before it goes into the different audio effects. Like I said, later on, we will actually be adding more gain with the limiter. But now we have enough gain for our audio to be processed efficiently and we also have enough headroom. So the audio won't clip. Like I said, there is a distinction between gain and volume and this is a step that people often forget and it can affect the quality of your audio. In the next video. We're going to dive a lot deeper and have a look at parametric eq I'll see you there.
