(Awesome video btw, helped me so much)
You're the student in class whose notes everyone copies. Thanks for that cheat sheet.
thanks man, i've always came to this video to fix my audio and spent 10 mins scrolling through, you're a life saver!
@@mostunimportantman why don't you just make a preset that way you don't have to come back to the video? just a tip :)
@@jaycanon5957 wow there's a way to do that?? can you teach me if you dont mind? 😂
This should be pinned. I gave you a thumbs up so this can stay at the top.
1:50 Parametric Equaliser - (Low end to 120 to 130 Hz)
2:53 Loop trick (helps while comparing before and after effects)
4:52 Mastering - (Low shelf enabled, reverb to 0)
5:50 Multiband Compressor - (Bring down the threshold to match, and increase gain)
7:36 Hard limiter - (Limit to - 3db)
thanks, man!

THANK YOU! I wish every tutorial had a timestamp list like this to save time!
Great! Now can someone combine all of those and make a pre-set called Audio Correction" then upload it to the Adobe Cloud? Thanksssss!
Thanks!
Just a quick heads up: you can also set in and out points for a single clip on your timeline by tapping X with the clip selected.
Arhan Sett whhhaaattt?!? Dude, this is awesome and something I didn’t know. Thank you for dropping this comment. You rock, Arjhan. 👊🏼
@@KevinFremon lest we forget the CLEAR IN AND OUT key, defaulted at ctrl+shift+X
Itai Carmeli oh yeah!! Good call.
FUCKIN JESUS MAN U SAVED ME YEARS OF MY LIFE!
haha yeah I found that out accidentally !
This video saved my ass on a big project with some really hollow sounding audio- I’ve been stressing the last few days trying different effects to fix it, so glad I found this tutorial!
Jon Secord awesome! Sol glad to hear that this helped. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment and let me know. 👊🏼
@@KevinFremon Same! This video saved bad mic placement for a client project! Thanks Kevin!
Demo Bailey awesome! So glad it helped you out with the project. Thanks for letting me know.
I just attempted my first ever voiceover and it sounds way better after this tutorial. Thanks man. 👌👍
Denis Malizani awesome! So glad the video helped. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. 👊🏼
Thank you so much. When I recorded audio for some interviews, you could barley hear them and I got worried, but when I tested this out it sounded so much better. You helped saved the project.
Alexandra Raipe you’re very welcome. Glad it helped save the interview. Thank for letting me know.
Thanks man, you've been a huge help! Great content, you get straight to the point, it's all very practical yet amusing to watch. Thanks!
Just what I was looking for, thanks! Some of our voice over's sounded really flat. This has helped a lot, so thanks! Appreciate you taking the time to make this video =)
This actually did make a very noticeable improvement for me. Thank you so much!
Reverb was already 0 on the second effect. I also like the denoiser effect, its good for noise reductions for indoor audio, you know these little background noises that come in if you aren't recording in a sound proof studio.
trouvaille - by Aamir dude, great additional tips. Thanks for taking the time to share these. 👊🏼
I rarely comment but you saved my life here
Late comment but 2nding this! Denoise is my fav effect and really helps when recording indoor audio! This tutorial is great but adding denoise really takes my audio step up a notch - especially if you get a ton of echo in your recording area. My audio is sounding great adding these 5 effects!
Denoise effect is the GOAT for a quick audio improvement.
omg THIS! THANK YOU. I love how easy this is to follow from a non-audio pro lol. I have a mic on my camera, but I still felt my audio was "off" in some way I couldn't quite put my finger on. this video made me realize that it was missing bass!!! thank you a million times over.
So glad this was helpful and made your audio sound way better. Thanks for dropping a comment to let me know.
Excellent video man! I have a job with some suspect audio and this improved it dramatically.
That loop tip is everything! :)
I haven't even finished watching the video but I already appreciate it so much! Thank you Kevin!
Gaming About Life your welcome! Glad the video helped you make your audio sound awesome. 👊🏼
Kevin Fremon sooooo good! It's like I had a professional mic hahaha
Gaming About Life nice!!! That’s awesome!
Thank you for this. I learned lots from it. What I was actually looking for is compensating for a phasing effect caused by speaking from behind the inbuilt mic and the sound being mixed with bounce back off a hard surface plus the voice coming from behind too. There's like a fractional delay between the two voice sources, even though it's one speaker. If you get my drift. I think it might be called phase distortion.
Very useful, Kevin. And you've opened a whole new set of tools I didn't even know were in Premier Pro... What a beast!
Awesome! Glad it helped.
hey Kevin Fremon ...
i came for a premiere tutorial ...i did learn a couple of tricks from your video.
1 ) how to loop a section ....didn't know where this little loop button is located .
2) how to make your sound not better just louder ...
i am a composer and sound engineer ... i can tell you that you make the sound louder not cleaner .... all the low end you push up introduces rumble and dirt .... the high end you are pushing makes your ess piercing ... in audio as well as in video to my knowledge it all starts with the source ... record a with good microphone in good environment you will get good sound also in video shoot with good lighting and good camera and you are not gonna need wired tricks like this ...
but !!!!! i wanted to tell you how to really make you voice sound clearer
don't boost the lows as you did ... instead cut it until you hear your voice starting to get thin , then back of a few Hertz from that point... buy cutting the lows you will hear the high frequency much better , and if you want to give a bass boost to your voice usually around 100-400 hz is the right frequency to give some "bite" . for the highs if it feel's like the voice is too "dark and muffled" you can give a small boost above 5 Khz but some times it will bring the ess so you would need to apply a deesser that basically is a compressor that compresser only the high frequencies .
give this method a try and let me know what you think ...
Avi Lutinger thank you so mug for these tips! I really appreciate it. Clearly, Im just getting into becoming better at audio and this is really helpful. You rock!
@@KevinFremon HI man great vid, how do i repair a few blown highlights in audio i have good software, so i hope you can help :)
Chris Walzak thanks man!! Audio that’s blown out is really hard to recover to be honest so I’m not sure where to guide you. Best thing you can do is bring down the DB on that audio clip and bite the bullet. I’ve done that a few times. Now, I just make sure that I’m recording at a much lower level. Much easier to make it louder with out quality loss than the other way. Good luck man 👊🏼
Not everyone has good microphone Dude! This video is generally crispy helpful for all, and speak english dude.
Pilipinas Landscaped right on! Glad you found it helpful. And you’re right... not everyone does. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment:
Learned a lot, thanks! One suggestion would be to put the final clips in the video itself, rather than just playing it through the speakers, so we get a much better idea of what it sounds like without the added step of your speakers. Also, if you do something like this in the future (with color grading, effects, ect), I'd use the exact same clip, duplicated. Removes other variables that way.
Thank you soooo much for this tutorial! Your an absolute life saver. I lost our original audio from the mixer and had to find a way to work with our camera audio and this really did the trick! Much Appreciated!!!
back in and recently got soft soft again, it felt strange and i had previously just taught myself the software. Finding your videos is helping
Just a quick tip: if you're in Multiband Compressor, you can use the Limiter Margin in the same way as the Hard Limiter. Saves you the use of the last effect :)
Brent Panem awesome tip! Thanks for posting it. 👊🏼
I was searching for tips and saw the title and like ok let's check it out, I was expecting 2m subs and a lot of views and I'm shocked with the 2k subs. Dude you deserve more, I like the energy you've got, keep it up 🔥, I'm getting your IG
Ahmed Fadhel thanks, Ahmed. I really appreciate that and take it as a compliment. Definitely motivating to keep creating content. 👊🏼
I have used your audio tips a few times now, and they work! Thank you for this!
Awesome! So glad to hear that they've been working out for you.
DUDE!!! You just changed my life!!! The I and O tip, to loop while I fix audio, my man, I cannot express how grateful I am that you shared this titbit!! THANK YOU!!!
Right on! Glad to hear it. Yea, the I and O keys are life savers.
As an audio engineer I gotta say that the audio processing wasn’t perfect but it’s so nice to know that you have all the tools you need to process audio in premiere without using a different program, thank you for showing the plugins!
Can you share the mis-steps?
@@videocentric im not sure what alex was referring to. But as a producer myself id personally not raise the low frequencies of a voice neither with an EQ or multiband compresser. Id probably roll off some of those depending on the mic used and recording. Audio processing is very dependent on how the original recording is you want to edit so its kinda hard to give a guideline since it depends on the audio. Overall id say use an EQ to roll of the frequencies untill like 80-100Hz, if you want some detailed guidance on this try looking up a vocal EQ frequency chart (google it). Other than that use a compressor if you got very quiet parts in your audio recording, if you're not sure how to set one up and you got a very short recording you can even just do this by dragging the volume up and down. Hope that helped a bit ;)
you're doing an audio tutuorial, remove the background music jees
Mr Waffle yo!! Thanks for the feedback: you’re totally right. 👊🏼
@@KevinFremon Thanks good Tutorial tho!
@@MrWaffleOfficial A more important factor is how the audio is recorded - it should be through software providing the audio directly, rather than through laptop speakers and a laptop mic - that's a double degradation. I don't mind the music as much. You could duck the music at the points where you want the audio to shine, but that's secondary to getting good audio directly to the video.
You may have solved this already, Kevin, but something like Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack may do the trick. rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/
@@ataylortca To-TA-LLY! Ugh...
Thanks a lot for making this video, not only did it help me with my audio but what I really appreciate is learning to do the looping. Saves a lot of time and wrist movement!! Thanks again Kevin.
Ville Jokinen your very welcome! Yeah, that loop feature is a life saver. Glad the video helped. Thanks so much for dropping a comment to let me know. 👊🏼
Very helpful tips! Very much appreciated. I was "volunteered" to edit a video for work and part of the audio was recorded with airpods and it sounded like crap. It still sounds like crap but is a huge improvement over how it sounded originally. Thank you for posting this!
I Apply all to my audio except that mastering one, Looks like it gives the reverb tool which is found in the Audio Clip type side menu so will give it a go.
However, thought i'd point out something as this changed my life haha. In the Audio workspace (not Colour which for some reason you did an Audio tutorial in lol), toggle the small arrow pointing right at the top left of all tracks. This will drop down a bank of Effect Sends, like you'd get in a DAW. Now you can apply these effects to the entire Audio Track, and not to every individual Audio Clip! Speeds up editing 10x
cam shand So glad this helped you out, Cam. Thanks for dropping a comment to let me know. Also, thanks for the tip about the Audio mode and how to add the effects to the entire track. I actually learned that after creating this tutorial but appreciate the reminder.
@@KevinFremon all good, figured it'd save you a stack of time if you didnt know, however seems the videos pretty old so you obviously have since (good old UA-cam algorithm reserving old content). Thank anyway :)!
7:47 *-3 dB?*
I did some tests. And *-6 dB* sounds a lot better on mobile devices. Going louder than -6 tend to distort more.
I usually apply the Hard Limiter on the Master Track in the Track mixer, by the way.
Also, I shorten the release time a lot to avoid that pumping effect.
But er... great tips though! I should use the parametric EQ more 😇
Yh, that's true.... Nice optimization
by just showing me the parametric equalizer you saved some of my janky hissy audio and I was able to make it sound crisp and nice. THANK YOU!!
this helped a lot EXCEPT in the few various spots where i was yelling. Each time, it sounds tinny and far worse than the original. I'm going to try to just isolate those spots and remove one effect at a time to see what might have caused it.
other than THAT, absolutely amazing-- thank you
After watching your amazing tutorial... i just saw your subs😥 You deserve MILLIONS of subscribers... Energy Level is Extremely high🤩 You gotta Subscriber and Fan too❤️
Wishes are always with uhhh...
Rohit BakchuSaaki thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement Rohit. I appreciate that man. Really means a lot. 👊🏼
Lauren Regan thanks so much Lauren! Glad it saved you time. Thanks for letting me know. 🙏🏼
I agree! He definitely deserves more subscribers!!! 😭
I was sure the unexpected comic payoff of the video was that, midway, the tinny sound of his main narration was suddenly going to get warmer and deeper...
Omg 😱 this tutorial was one of the most helpful tutorials I have ever seen!!! I spent so long trying to mess with my audio and just couldn’t seem to get it right but these tricks worked like a charm!
Awesome! Glad to hear it. 👊🏼
Thank you very much indeeeeeeeeeed.......I have been looking for very long time to improve my audio and just did it after your tutorial
Am I the only one who thinks Kevin looks like jack Snyder🤔 ....nice tutorial by the way.
Yes indeed 😁
*zack snyder
I immediately thought he was going for the Cardone look.
But don't forget to cut everything about 50-100hz!! 🔥
Dentro Music yeah! You’re totally right. Good call. 👊🏼
@@KevinFremon 💪🏼
how does that work?
Yh really, how does that work?
Thanks again Kevin by the way, your tutorial might have just saved a life!
Although this video is 4 years old, it has helped tremendously. I used this exact technique with my boom mic with minor tweaks on the effect. But all the effects you mentioned were applied. This really helps if you're in a crunch or just want to beef up your audio. Thanks again Kevin.
Really glad to hear that it helped out. I still use it all the time.
Thank you! This video was very helpful. I had to tweak some audio settings and now it sounds amazing.
I'll give a million dollars to anyone who can tell me why he doesn't have 1M subs yet? Thank you for this God bless you brother!
Righteous Road man, you rock!! Thanks for the great compliment. I appreciate it man. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've applied these edits to my video, and it sounds much better! This explanation is awesome!
MikeGeorge360 right on Mike! Really glad it was helpful and worked for you. 👊🏼
your forehead tho 🤭
One of the most effective and comprehensive fixes for mic-less recordings. I've had more than one occasion where the audio capture failed and all I had was the room/ambient audio. These recommendations would be a nice fix. I've implemented one or two, but not all four. Thanks!
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for dropping a comment to let me know.
Awesome vid man! Thanks! Its very useful
Thanks a lot bro! You made my audio quality to get drastically improved. It's now a lot better. Thanks again!
omg this changes everything! i can never go back to my old videos now haha
Hey man, what a great tutorial. As a professional documentary sound recordist of 38 years and a long term professional Premiere Pro editor of 20 years I found your explanation of the compressor app really helpful as even with a lot of experience I’ve always been a bit shy of experimenting with it. Thanks man. The only small thing I would like to say is that it’s always, if possible, best to record excellent audio in the first place. Not easy but you would be surprised how easy it is to find someone who loves sound. They are still out there. It’s a bit harder if blogging but there are a lot of very tasty video mics out there for not much cash. Really good information though man. Thank you.
mirodigital1 thanks so much for the kind words. I really appreciate that. I definitely hear you on recording great audio from the start. 100%... i was inspired to make this video when I was recording from my Sony RX100 which only has an onboard mic making getting good audio nearly impossible. I happily used my Rode VideoMic Pro+ now and my audio is way better. :)
Wow, this really helped me in one take!! Thank you!! AS a complete beginner fluffling around was able to do something that worked!!
Just used this on a podcast edit I'm working on; works like a charm! Thanks!!!
I love the energy and passion brothe!
Just after the first tip it sounds WAY better! I'll be sticking around for the other three. Thank you!
Dalton Clay right on! So glad you were able to make a big difference in your audio. Thanks for dropping a comment to let me know. 👊🏼
I've been waiting to tighten up on my audio in Premiere Pro. This will HELP me a lot. Thanks for the video.
You saved my butt! I had a video I spent alot of time on and the external mic wasnt recording. The on board cleaned up with this tactic. Thanks!
I´m applying this 4 effects to all my voiceovers :) Thanks Kevin!
Thank you so much for this. I use various camera audio/video sources (GoPro, handheld camera, and Android phones) to edit live music videos. Until I invest in an external microphone, this is one of the most useful tutorials I have found!! Much appreciated :)
Really great tutorial, thanks for sharing!!!
thank you soo much very direct link n works for me love the way you expressed the installation .
Two thumbs way up! You really helped take one of my client's videos to the next level. Much appreciated.
Dia Martori wooohooo!!! That’s awesome. I’m glad to hear that.
Thanks a lot for the great lesson. I'm finally getting closer to getting great sound in my video. I love the cheer in your presentation. You indeed are alive.
Happy that helped and thanks for the kind words. I do feel alive. 😃
Thanks so much for this! Completely changed my video for the better. Really appreciate your help!

Sir.... I love you! Love your tutorial and your enthusiasm in your video. SUBSCRIBED.
Best Video on video I have found on youtube!! Great Job even 5 years later!!
Thank you so much. one of the most helpful tutorials I've come across. instead of saying just play with the settings, you explain your personal preferences. exactly what I needed. Again thank you
Dodongo's Cavern so glad to hear that you got value out of the video. Thanks for taking the time to reach out and say hello.
This video was a GAME CHANGER! I struggle with audio at times and background noise. Thank you so much!
Right on! So glad it helped.
s and a couple EDM and Dubstep goals for myself, and I guess I better start learning sowhere. Thanks for the great vid!
Thank you Mr. Fremon! You have some very helpful content!
THANK YOU! the multi band compressor was the most effective for me!
Thank you very much for that little trick !! worked flawlessly
Thanks man, I was starting to loose hope when trying to fix my audio until I found this video. You deserve more views!
Thank you so much for this video. I've watched this video three times and took notes. This video is easy to follow and doesn't take 20 minutes to get through.
Really glad you enjoyed it and it helped you out.
This made the crappy little voice recording from my phone sound so much better. Thank you!
i used this on car footage i had from my gopro. not sure if it was the right thing to do..... but it def did make it sound better. Thanks!!
this really helpful thank you, always strungle with audio
I hardly comment on tutorials but oh my goodness, this is so freaking helpful & coming in clutch. It was exactly what I was looking for regarding increasing the low-ends of the audio. Thank you so much!
Awesome! Glad to hear it. Yeah, this trick took me a long time to figure out. Glad it was helpful.
Thanks a lot for a wonderful lesson. It spoke to my needs.
Great video! Very helpful, thanks!
Kevin, I just stumbled upon this video while looking to pump up the audio quality on the voiceovers I do for my how-to videos. Thank you, sir, for taking the time to make this video! It was great. Just subscribed and liked!
Awesome. Really glad this helped you out. Thanks for letting me know.
@@KevinFremon I just did the voiceovers for our weekly bragging board at Catfish Weekly using your method. The difference in sound was amazing! Had another question, if you have a moment. Is there any way to save some of these settings as a new preset or save all 4 filters as a preset that I can drag/drop onto my audio just to save some time? Thanks again.
@@TheWeekendAngler Yep, there is a way. In the Effect Control pannel where you'd click edit to play with the Parmetic Equalizer, click each of the effects while holding the SHIFT key. With everything you want in the preset, right-click and you'll see the Save Preset option.
awesome tutorial, man. thank you
Thanks so much for all these details! This could really save me if I have an issue with a mic and I need to use what the camera had, not my recorder!
Right on Matthew. Glad these tips helped.
This is the best tutorial i have seen on youTube on how to im prove audio. Thanks bro
Thanks so much im always using this advice for my channel videos super helpful
Manor's Pillar! Right on! Glad to hear it has helped.
thanks Kevin...i used Parametric to reduce Background noise by keeping Boost 20-22 dB, Q 10.1
