hey everyone this is Mason with filter
0:05
grade and today we're going to be
0:07
talking about editing audio with Adobe
0:09
Premiere Pro that's right Premiere Pro
0:10
not audition the dedicated audio editor
0:13
in the Creative Cloud suite Premiere Pro
0:15
has plenty of great audio enhancements
0:17
that can improve your video sound
0:18
without ever jumping into another
0:20
program bring bass back into your audio
0:23
a lot of audio recorded on cameras or
0:26
cheap microphones can be pretty tinny
0:28
and flat you may think it's beyond
0:29
saving but there is a lot that we can do
0:31
go to the effects panel and search for
0:33
parametric equaliser then drag it onto
0:35
your clip an equaliser lets you play
0:38
around with the different audio
0:39
frequencies in your clip if you ever
0:41
messed around with the bass and treble
0:42
controls on a car stereo then you're
0:44
already familiar with a basic equalizer
0:45
tool once you've applied the effect go
0:48
into the effects control panel and
0:50
scroll down to custom setup click the
0:52
edit button this will pop up with a full
0:54
equalizer control panel the left side
0:56
has your low end the bass and the right
0:58
side has the high end the treble here's
1:01
what our clip sounds like right now
1:02
don't forget to Like and subscribe the
1:06
first thing you can do especially on
1:07
tinny audio is adjusting the bass curve
1:09
higher you can mess around with the
1:11
exact amount until it sounds good to you
1:13
but likely around 120 Hertz should be a
1:15
good starting point don't forget to Like
1:18
and subscribe don't forget to Like and
1:22
subscribe
1:24
don't forget to Like and subscribe
1:27
that's not a fixed tinny audio the rest
1:30
of these tips are more for audio
1:31
recorded in standard microphones and
1:33
more ideal environments rather than
1:34
trying to save audio format in your
1:36
recording compression compression is so
1:39
named because it literally compresses an
1:41
audio waveform lowering the volume of
1:42
loud parts and raising the volume of
1:44
quiet parts until the audio is fairly
1:46
consistent this helps make your audio
1:48
sound so much better especially voices
1:50
when talking we tend to trail off or
1:52
speak with any consistent volume
1:53
compression helps mitigate the
1:55
unfortunate side effects of this natural
1:57
way of speaking while also giving your
1:58
audio more of a crisp sound go to the
2:02
effects control panel and search for
2:03
multiband compression here's what our
2:07
clip sounds like right now don't forget
2:09
to Like and subscribe go to the effects
2:13
control panel and click on edit and here
2:16
we see our multiband compressor
2:17
interface it comes with a lot of great
2:19
presets that might work well for you so
2:21
start with one of those if you're not
2:22
comfortable with advanced audio editing
2:24
and here's what happens when we use the
2:26
broadcast preset don't forget to Like
2:29
and subscribe already a massive
2:31
difference this should bring up the
2:32
overall volume and balance of your audio
2:34
but it will also bring up the volume of
2:36
annoying bass and treble sounds so we'll
2:38
need to cut some of those off to deal
2:40
with the bass take the bass section on
2:41
the far left and lower the gain until
2:43
those rough booming bass sounds start to
2:44
disappear don't forget to Like and
2:49
subscribe don't forget to Like and
2:54
subscribe don't forget to Like and
2:57
subscribe if your treble is too high or
3:00
you're getting a lot of annoying s
3:01
sounds you can do the same with the
3:03
highest frequency is found on the right
3:04
side don't forget to Like and subscribe
3:10
don't forget to Like and subscribe you
3:15
may also want to experiment with the low
3:17
mids this is where most of the human
3:20
voice falls boosting this range can give
3:21
your voices a brighter and more
3:23
professional tone don't forget to Like
3:26
and subscribe don't forget to Like and
3:30
subscribe
3:33
don't forget to Like and subscribe don't
3:37
forget to Like and subscribe while
3:40
you're in the compressor make sure your
3:42
audio levels are all right you can
3:44
adjust the output gain to boost the
3:45
volume of your audio clip you can also
3:47
utilize margin in the limiter tool to
3:51
prevent yourself from peaking too much
3:52
make sure that brickwall limiter box is
3:55
checked and then try setting the margin
3:58
to about minus three this will make sure
4:02
your audio won't peak past minus three
4:03
decibels don't forget to Like and
4:06
subscribe
4:07
noise removal the unfortunate part about
4:10
compression is that it will introduce a
4:12
digital noise in the portions that were
4:14
boosted this is a side effect of
4:15
applying additional gain
4:17
let's denoise this clip that we just
4:19
added compression on go into the effects
4:21
panel and search for D noise go into the
4:24
effects control panel and click on edit
4:26
the default settings should be a good
4:27
starting point and will probably fix a
4:29
lot of your noise problems don't forget
4:31
to Like and subscribe in this case we'll
4:34
probably want to adjust that down a
4:35
little bit because it's taking out too
4:36
much don't forget to Like and subscribe
4:38
that's pretty good
4:41
now let's use an unedited clip that has
4:43
a lot of noise here's what it sounds
4:46
like right now
4:49
don't forget to Like and subscribe the
4:53
kind of noise the denoiser gets rid of
4:55
in cases like this is consistent
4:56
background noises like microphone hiss
4:59
or fairly consistent noise like computer
5:01
fans this won't magically erase
5:03
background noises like people talking or
5:05
cars honking now let's go and add the D
5:07
noise to this clip and click on the edit
5:10
button with the default selected let's
5:13
see what that did as you can see almost
5:17
none of the noise that we heard before
5:19
is in the clip now don't forget to Like
5:26
and subscribe you can move the slider
5:29
around to adjust the amount of denoising
5:31
again you can also tell Premiere Pro
5:33
which frequencies the noise occupies by
5:36
default Premiere is checking all
5:37
frequencies which can be effective in
5:38
many cases but has a higher chance of
5:40
degrading your overall audio quality a
5:42
hissing sound might occupy only the
5:44
higher frequencies so you can tell
5:46
Premiere to only look there and then
5:48
adjust the amount to see if you're able
5:49
to scrub away the noise that way don't
5:56
forget to Like and subscribe if you're
6:00
not sure if the tool is removing too
6:02
much of your original audio you can
6:03
click on the output noise only box and
6:05
hear if much of your original audio is
6:07
being cut out
6:13
in this case we hear most of the noises
6:15
being removed and only a little bit of
6:17
my actual voice reverb removal removing
6:23
reverb works much the same search for
6:25
and apply the effect D reverb here's
6:27
what our clip sounds like right now
6:29
don't forget to like it subscribe now
6:35
let's click on the edit button in the D
6:36
reverb tool adjust the slider until
6:38
you're happy with the result
6:40
here's what default sounds like don't
6:43
forget to Like and subscribe in addition
6:45
to adjusting the amount you can also
6:47
adjust the frequency if you're
6:48
comfortable just like in the denoise
6:50
tool don't forget to Like and subscribe
6:55
to my kit subscribe don't forget to Like
7:00
and subscribe
7:03
the autogain toggle will try to restore
7:05
the overall volume of the clip as
7:07
reducing reverb will result in a lower
7:09
volume audio track working with audio in
7:12
larger projects so far we've covered how
7:14
to apply these effects to individual
7:16
Clips but if you're working on something
7:17
along with many Clips like a podcast you
7:19
probably don't want to have to apply the
7:21
effect to every clip one by one there is
7:23
an easier way which lets you apply an
7:25
audio effect to the entire audio track
7:27
in your entire project to access this
7:29
click on window and make sure that audio
7:32
track mixer is selected for whichever
7:35
track you want to apply the effect to
7:36
click on the drop down menu and you will
7:38
see a list of effects these are the same
7:41
audio effects you have access to
7:42
normally you can add the denoiser the
7:44
compressor or any other effect double
7:46
click on the effect and you'll see the
7:49
same control panel that we saw before
7:50
and of course you can add multiple
7:52
effects on top of each other so you
7:56
could use a denoiser and a compressor in
7:57
conjunction these were some simple tips
7:59
for making your audio sound better in
8:01
Adobe Premiere Pro without ever leaving
8:03
the program Premiere has all the tools
8:05
and presets that its counterpart
8:06
audition has and using them in your
8:08
video edits can greatly increase the
8:10
quality of your production especially in
8:12
things like vlogs podcasts or audio that
8:13
was recorded in an unidentified or
8:19
anything we may have skipped over in
8:21
this tutorial that we should cover in
8:22
the future
