Video & Audio Masterclass | Understanding Compression & Limiting

In this week's Masterclass, we’re deep diving into the question that keeps on coming: how to properly use a compressor/limiter? Whether leveraged for music or audio-for-video, once you understand the technique, your mixes will instantly become more robust, bigger, more present and enable you to add more volume and punch.

I love this subject, thanks for sharing. I also enjoyed your presentation during Max. Everybody should bring that level of energy 🤘

Jason you're a legend you brought my audio skills UP drastically which in turn made me create Awesome video for myself and clients, currently going through a lot of them again to catch anything I might of missed. Thankful for these being out here for free! there is no one out there that can explain it so well as you do.

[@alainpatry]

Have you ever auditioned for Joseph and the Amazing Tech Dreamcoat? I think you'd be a great fit for the voice and the look!

Hi i have a doubt regarding premiere pro codec. Apple quick time player is already installed in my pc. Can you suggest any other codecs software for premiere pro like alternative for quick time player

[@Jacobbrothers]

Hi i have an optical input 5.1 Dolby digital speaker and 5.1 output from my pc with separate ports for separate speakers.But there is no separate input for my Dolby speaker.Only single optical input is there.Can you suggest analog to digital audio converters for doing surround work in audition.

[@jasonlevinevideo]

Your soundcard/sounddevice must support multi-channel output and be recognized in Audition. If you can see discrete outputs, you can mix in surround.

Wonderful as usual! Have you run into Reference Audio Drift, with a Multi-3cam shoot? (diff audio settings) With a switcher audio file also. Hmm, just wondering. Thanks

[@jasonlevinevideo]

Hi Andre. If you're experiencing drift, that's usually related to a mismatch in sample rate. If one cam recorded at 48k but the (secondary audio) or other cam was recorded at 44.1k, this will without question create drift. There are other causes (in some specific cases) with similar sample rates, but those are less commonplace. LMK

@@jasonlevinevideo best common practice in premiere to handle that? Thanks!!
