20220827 - AURORA - Take Me Back Home, live for BBC Earth Proms, Frozen Planet 2 (enhanced vocals)

The mix in this beautiful performance always bothered me (Aurora's voice way too low compared to the rest), but I always forgot to tackle it ... until now ;)
Source used (by ‪@piggystriker2‬ ) : • AURORA Live from BBC P...
What I did :
- extracted the different "tracks" (bass, drums, vocals and so on)
- increased volume of everything by around 22dB (the source was around 66dB).
- increased the vocals volume by another 6db
- decreased D. Attenborough's voice by 2 or 3dB (it was way too loud at this point)
- merged everything back together
- realized that this process messed up the applause somehow (they sounded really strange, kinda muffled but worse than that :D), while the rest sounds fine
- so I removed the start and end of the video, which leaves just the song. A shame in a way, but not too bad in another way if you want to use it as a "regular" song ;)
- lowered the whole volume by 6dB, as it ended up around 96 or 97dB, which is way too loud (90 or 91dB is usually fine for YT)
- and I also added subtitles (yes, I'm aware of the other version, which actually has a louder volume than the source I used, but the subtitles are embedded in the video, i.e. you can't disable them, which I don't like ... but that was the version I was using in my playlist up to now).
NB : I can't increase Aurora's voice more, as it's already bordering clipping now ... I could lower the instrumentals more, but I don't think that's necessary, imho.
With all those changes, the picture quality might have been lowered a little bit, but sound-wise, I think it's better, let me know what you think :)

[@Geralt26]

Yea. In original mix volumes was bad. Thx for your work and "repairing" what should be good from the start.
