 Welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro tutorial guys, this one I'm gonna show you how to use audio keyframes to adjust the relative loudness of the voice track versus the audio or the music track. Anybody that's watched any Netflix movie or any movie at all for that recently has always seen where the friggin voices are too quiet and the music's too friggin loud. And then the music's too quiet and the voices are too loud although it's usually the other way around guys. And I'm gonna show you how to actually mix the audio inside Premiere Pro the correct way using audio keyframes. Let's get right into this. This is not set up to go. I'm gonna hit spacebar. It's gonna be a mess and I'm gonna show you what we're starting with. Yeah, a mess guys. That does probably sound like a lot of movies we've watched where you can't hear a damn thing they're saying. Anyways guys, enough griping. Let's just get right into this. I am in the effects panel, but let's just go to editing because this is probably the one that you guys would see. So we're working in the editing panel and I'm just gonna make some small adjustments and boom, off we go. So what basically we've got here is we've got two tracks on top of each other. The top one, I'll solo this one, is me talking. The bottom one is drum track. So it's a big mess. Now I'm gonna go ahead and make some major adjustments to it so that it actually sounds correct. So the first step is I'm gonna go ahead and reduce the drum track. Now this isn't the point of this tutorial but I gotta do this in order to show you how to do the keyframing for the voices. So I'm gonna right click on this audio track here, A2, and I'm actually gonna go ahead and increase the size of the audios. So let's just do that. So we've got a little bit more room to work with and I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna show you a trick. I'm gonna click on this line here. If you zoom in, you should be able to see a line. Let's go to right about here. And if you do that, you'll see that the cursor has the up and down arrow. This basically allows you to reduce the decibels or reduce the audio gain without having to do it manually. So I can just pull this down and it will change it. So I'm gonna reduce it to say minus 20 just to see what that sounds like. Okay that's pretty good actually. I'm gonna drop it down a little more to minus 25 because again I'm just doing a tutorial. Now we'll hit spacebar and see what we got. Okay so the audio in my opinion is not quite loud enough. So if I hit, yeah it's not. So I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna right click on this. So I'm gonna click on the audio track which is A1. I'm right clicking on it and I'm gonna go to audio gain. And now I'm going to increase the audio gain by, I'm gonna go with 8 decibels to start. Let's see what this looks like. Okay it's pretty good. It did spike a little bit over here on the right side. You generally don't want to go above zero except for like special noises. So like if you're doing a jump cut or something like that. So maybe I'm gonna right click on it again, audio gain. And instead of setting it to eight I'm gonna set it to about six and a half. Let's go with that. Alright it stays a little bit below the zero. We're in good shape. Now the point of this is that I wanted to show you how to adjust using keyframes. And if you hear a bulldog and a Labrador and it sounds like they're wrestling that's what they're doing. The use of keyframes is right here. What you gotta do is you want to make sure that you've got your selection tool selected. And then you want to hold down the command or the control key if you're on a PC. Command if you're on a Mac control if you're on a PC. And what you can do is let's say we've got the audio. I'm gonna work on, or pardon me, the drum track. I'm gonna click on this right here. Let's click on it right here. And you're gonna see here that I've made a point. There is a point there. And if I make another one here you'll notice that I can now lift them up. I can extend them out. So if you want to ramp your audio so if you want it to start quiet and that might make sense let's start it at zero. And then it climbs up to say minus five here over like the first five seconds. Let's see what that sounds like. Do you see what we did there? We made it so that the audio increased over time. You can also do the same thing and decrease it over time. So I'm gonna hold down command or control. I'm gonna make another point here and then I'm gonna drop it down to like, I don't know, pretty damn quiet. Let's go to minus 20. So when I hit space bar from here it goes up and down. Now guys this is just a tutorial. I'm just teaching you the techniques. These are not finished products of course as you can tell. But that's how you can control music. That's how you control voice. You can do all of these different things inside Adobe Premiere Pro. You don't have to open up audition. I hope this tutorial helped you a little bit. I got a ton more stuff coming up. Stay tuned.
