Matt WhoisMatt Johnson another amazing video. I saved this video in my folder. Your tips have been extremely help lately and this is going to help me. Thanks Matt
The fact that this video is from 2017 and it s the best on this subject it s blowing my mind... you re still one of the 3 youtubers that I watch for wedding films!!
you just blew my mind.. literally had no idea. thinking back to some of the wedding audio I outputted earlier in the year and wish I knew this! thanks a bazillion Matt
Being a music producer I can give something back to you that might help as you've helped me along the way alot with making videos! :) .. A great (and quick) way to stop a backing track interfering with a vocal line is determine the most dominant frequency of the vocal and then scoop a little of that frequency out of the backing track. Most EQ's will give you a live graph showing you the frequency as you play the vocal clip.. so say for instance your looking at your vocals main peak and its around 160hz .. you can then add say a parametric EQ onto the backing track and scoop out some of that 160hz frequency range a few db to give the vocal its own range to sit in. The benefits of this is you can raise the volume of the backing track and still have the vocal audio shining through and have a much fuller sounding audio .. you may have come across it when in a project .. in your head it sounds like the music wants to be louder .. but when you try it starts to drown out the vocal.. that will be an unfortunate song choice that has clashed with the vocal chords of the guy/girl that decided to get married (very mean of them!) So if that happens .. find the most dominating frequency of the vocal and scoop a little of the same frequency out the backing track.. you'll find you can then raise the backing track and still have the vocal punching through clearly. Hope it helps as you've helped me so much in the past!
This is also a fantastic tip! I do this for instruments when recording music, but I totally forgot about applying to vocals/ music in my wedding videos!
Dude I just spent a few hours watching videos to try and get a good audio preset (adding all kinds of different effects) and this method was SO MUCH SIMPLER and it sounds better than every other preset I tried to make. Thanks!
One of the better Videos. Broadcast editor here and you explained it perfectly. As well listen to your finished piece over as many devices as possible!!! Bravo!
I've watched SO many tutorials with no luck of finding what I needed for audio editing. I can't thank you enough for sharing this, it's exactly what I was looking for. A++++!
Your tutorial is good and helpful but it’s your personality which just made me sub. You emit so much positivity. Looking forward to watching your other content.
you are the man! dude thanks so much for your willingness to share your knowledge with others. I have gotten very good feedback on my first few wedding films. they think I have been doing it for a long time. little do they know I am just a student of whoismatt - making me look like a pro!
Awesome stuff! One piece of advice for further separating the dialogue from the music is something called “notching.” This is where you locate the main frequencies of the voice and then dip those frequencies in the music track. Works like a charm.
So happy I found this. Seriously had the impetus to 'like' or add to a playlist about 5 times throughout the video...but I already had within 5 seconds. :D You're my new role-model for online presence...even your email collection and how you guide people to your site...Love it! [your dancing to the wedding music track :'D] Happily signing up for your email list. I'm starting my own production of video and audio and I'm confident you're gunna take me 5 (or way more) big steps towards producing something I can be proud of. Thank you for doing what you do how you do it!
Karmically and coincidentally, you have once again saved the day Matt! I'm in the throes of editing audio for one of my wedding films. Your tips saved my toasts and note reciting BIG TIME! Thanks again for your frenetic and comedic energy and for your awesomeness and expertise!
Matt, Thank you for this!! I'm working on a Highlight now and you just up'd the quality so much! By the way, after our consultation I've now booked 18 weddings in 2018. I credit you with much of my success! Thanks for putting these videos together for us fellow creators.
Thank you so much for this brilliant video Matt! I watched a bunch of audio tutorials beforehand but they weren't helpful at all. Then I remembered following some other tutorials of yours in the past. So finally I landed here! 😊
Another - game changer from Matt... so glad I found this, the plug in it's a time saver, headache reliever and the shiznit... if you're ever in Richmond, VA... beers on me!!
I do love your Videos Buddy. May I give you and your viewers a Tip. I use the same Multiband Compressor all the time, it's great but if you add the effect to Audio Track Mixer, rather than the Clip itself, It applies to the whole track at once, also for some reason only known to Adobe, the Broadcast setting don't need re selecting when applied this way? they are already set correctly, win win!. And lastly on the Effect control, if you set the Margin to -3, of the right side of the effect Panel, it will stop any of the compression exceeding -3, so you are all done... Hope this helps, it really helped me when dealing with multiple clips at once, in fact it's still quicker when only adding to a couple of clips.. Happy new Year.. Steve Does that all make sense buddy?
@@cristian_enea At the top of the Audio Track Mixer there is a small arrow on the left > Click that and the effects panel twirls down. Add your effects there.
Years ago Sony Vegas (software) had a "auto duck" effect that would automatically reduce music volume when a narrator is speaking. Felt it was helpful for certain kinds of videos.
Amazing video tutorial about audio editing on Premiere Pro CC 2018. Very clear and easy to follow your all instructions. Love the way you talking about, your explanation, your Face expression, and so on! It makes your video tutorial alive and interesting than other person tutorial they have out there. Keep up the good work dude. Well Done :)
I love how you provide useful audio tutorials, as we engineers are only beckoned out of our dungeon when there is a wedding post production crisis lmao! Thank you for this, and happy filming!
Dude! I'm shooting a wedding in a few weeks time and audio is something I'm only just looking in to in any detail. I've just done a little test recording and this trick is freakin' awesome. Liked, Subbed, You're awesome! Thanks so much
Thank you so much. Super helpful and entertaining. If anyone does want to know the broadcast standard as a basepoint Larry Jordan has stated Talking Heads is between -6dB and -12dB, Sound Effects between -12dB and -18dB and music soundtrack -18dB but like you say unless it's actually for broadcast TV there's probably a bit of subjective flexibility in there.
It's a bit more complicated than that because everything gets mixed differently for different speakers and different rooms. That's why the ads sound louder than than the movie when you're watching on TV.
I also use EQ alot.. typically taking out super low frequencies (high-pass) and bumping the mid range a bit to allow the voice to cut through a bit and live in a different space. I love your videos bro! Huge fan!
Profoundly useful - timeless value, even six years later, because it addresses factors that make audio sound great and that will never change. Presence, and clipping, have to be addressed the same today as in 2018. Thanks also for showing how to fix audio directly in Premiere, without having to jump into Audition. That said, I've been intrigued by the wonderful mixed sound I can get, quite accidentally, with RX Ozone (cheap stripped-down version). Would love to learn more.
dude. Clear concise video and this was exactly what I needed to see and understand to bring audio in my videos podcasts and films to a way better level instantly. I used to shop the audio up where was loud and quiet and adjust the audio gain manually and then blend those chunks of audio together with constant gain. You've literally saved me countless hours of work with better results. I'd love to interview you on our show that's all about filmmaking and talk about some technical things that can help people improve their short films.
Yes, I've been doing that, editing live theatre productions, balancing loud and soft voices, line by line, and as you know, it takes many, many hours...! Am about to try Matt's techniques, and will cheer (and comment), if successful!
@@fiddleandfart I found the audio compression got me pretty much 90% of the way to where I was getting with all the manual adjustments. And for the purposes of the podcast that I'm producing it gets the job done beautifully saves me so much time
As a long time audio engineer I will say that your explanation was great. You could also use a gate (waves) to reduce the noise between the dialog and noise reduction like x-noise (waves) to reduce any static or hiss in the audio and R-Bass (Waves) to give the dialog more body.
Great explanation, I've been watching poorly explained videos all night trying to understand PP audio editing and I just learned what I needed from you in 20 min. Thank You!!! SUBSCRIBED..
this is a very down to earth way of correcting audio, aimed for the masses not towards sound specialists this is how you edit events not hollywood blockbusters
10:57 You're absolutely right. If you drop the gain on clip level would basically trigger the multiband compressor in a different way so the gain reduction wouldn't be the same. The difference might not be dramatic but it's technically correct to change the output on the plugin itself. it was a single band compressor then things would be simpler but with multibands it's better to be safe than sorry :) Great video as always Matt :)
I have spent the last week scouring UA-cam for a good audio tutorial and I am so glad I found your vid. Great tutorial and it was funny as well. Thank you sir.
Great video. This has made my vocals sound so much better on my videos. I only see half of the waveform in the groom's voice audio track. Do you record the vocals in mono?
Really great! I know absolutely nothing about video/audio editing and you helped make a very painful investigation into this realm a bit less daunting so thank you.
Hi Matt, your tutorials are great and thank you alot for doing this and the way you expalin. I'm a photographer and I just started to learn videography with my new a6500 and your clips are very useful for me !
This is my 3rd video I've watched and I really love your content,started out with just the res video then got pulled in by the fps video now this and the gear one sounds good as well ,checking it out after this
hey thank u very much for this video, you just safe my life. i am working on a wedding right now and that is just what i needed. nice job men appreciate it :)
YESSS!!! I would love a video on how to handle background noise. I am a super noob at all this video stuff and your videos are super easy for me since you explain things in a simple way. Thank you so much for your videos!! :-)
Super nice tutorial, thanks!!! This year (2018) Premier launched an option where you can set which is the voice and which is the music and BOOM! premier make the magic with the sounds levels, really good to save edition time.
Just a note on your comment on turning the waveform down, it just makes your plugin work less effictively, you're raising the threshold at which the compressor starts to work so making the compressor less aggressive. hope that clears up the gain anomaly.
I am still learning how to use Premier but if the signal path is the same as standard DAW's like Ableton, Cubase, Pro Tools ect then you can turn it down at the mixer as well and it shouldn't affect the signal. But yes changing the gain on the waveform is going to have an impact on the compression.
Hi, good and entertaining videos! Instead of the multiband compressor, you might consider the Dynamics Processing plugin for 2 reasons: You're not actually using the processor to process multi-band (separately low, mid and high frequencies), and indeed for wedding videos probably never will. The Dynamics Processing plugin allows you to set the same attack and release in the Settings tab, but more interesting for you (I think!), the Dynamics tab provides you with curves in a way that is totally analogous to the Lumetri RGB curve. You have the same straight line from bottom left to top right. Black=silence white=full volume. You add points to your curve in the same way, and you can "grade" your sound. If there's some background noise, you can quickly adjust the curve to reduce it, if there's a mid part that could do with a little extra gain without "pumping or breathing", you can do that too. It's all very controllable. I use it very often.
Your tutorials are by far the best I have found on UA-cam! Can you do more specifically on audio, maybe some more stuff beginning vloggers/filmmakers need to know? There is a lack of good videos on this topic, most videos just say "do this and do that" without explaining what all these confusing audio settings actually do, but your explanation really makes me understand what I am doing when I apply those settings, so I hope you will make more videos about this!
Thank you, thank you Matt this is so easy and makes such a huge difference and saves so much time. When you come back to CO I will volunteer my time to help you haul around cameras and gear. Unless you want me to bring my Sony A7s. Appreciate all you do.
10:19 - I would recommend that you stick to the audio track for volume control when I use effects for the audio I will use bypass to toggle them so I hear how much it effects the track. If I used the gain in the effect it would spike the volume when I am checking how the effect influences the audio quality. I am still in the "What does this do" stage of my video editing and will change controls to the extremes just to see what it can do.
Hey Matt! Your video was super helpful and I enjoy your enthusiasm! Keep the videos coming! A video dedicated to getting rid of those background noises would also be appreciated :)
Thank you for this my friend. New Premier Pro user (from iMovie) and was struggling to mix voice and audio since iMovie does is automatically. This was superrrr helpful.
Hello Matt.. I use multiband compression a lot to improve my audio. I want to give you an extra trick to save you some time and some pc performance: Instead of applying the plugin on tracks and use multiple plugins and since you are using the same values on the compressor, you can apply it once on the audio channel that contains your speeches. Additionally, after mixing both music and speeches you can use a compressor on the master channel in order to make everything match even better.
Hi Matt, Great video. You started with very good audio to start with. Do you have any tutorials on fixing bad audio? Removing wind noise, fixing mic harmonics, fixing levels etc. Cheers

If there's some background noise, you can quickly adjust the curve to reduce it, if there's a mid part that could do with a little extra gain without "pumping or breathing", you can do that too. It's all very controllable. I use it very often.
Your tutorials are by far the best I have found on UA-cam! Can you do more specifically on audio, maybe some more stuff beginning vloggers/filmmakers need to know? There is a lack of good videos on this topic, most videos just say "do this and do that" without explaining what all these confusing audio settings actually do, but your explanation really makes me understand what I am doing when I apply those settings, so I hope you will make more videos about this!
Thank you, thank you Matt this is so easy and makes such a huge difference and saves so much time. When you come back to CO I will volunteer my time to help you haul around cameras and gear. Unless you want me to bring my Sony A7s. Appreciate all you do.
10:19 - I would recommend that you stick to the audio track for volume control when I use effects for the audio I will use bypass to toggle them so I hear how much it effects the track. If I used the gain in the effect it would spike the volume when I am checking how the effect influences the audio quality. I am still in the "What does this do" stage of my video editing and will change controls to the extremes just to see what it can do.
Hey Matt! Your video was super helpful and I enjoy your enthusiasm! Keep the videos coming! A video dedicated to getting rid of those background noises would also be appreciated :)
Thank you for this my friend. New Premier Pro user (from iMovie) and was struggling to mix voice and audio since iMovie does is automatically. This was superrrr helpful.
I can't tell you how many times after a Premiere update I come back to this video just to get the Multiband compressor settings lol. Thanks...AGAIN!
Hello Matt.. I use multiband compression a lot to improve my audio. I want to give you an extra trick to save you some time and some pc performance:
Instead of applying the plugin on tracks and use multiple plugins and since you are using the same values on the compressor, you can apply it once on the audio channel that contains your speeches. Additionally, after mixing both music and speeches you can use a compressor on the master channel in order to make everything match even better.
Nice tip! :)
Hi Matt,
Great video. You started with very good audio to start with. Do you have any tutorials on fixing bad audio? Removing wind noise, fixing mic harmonics, fixing levels etc. Cheers
I'd love to know this too!
