You’re a genius for having us hear “Take part in one of my online production audio classes!” a dozen times!! Also fantastic video.

Repetition

[@CoconutPete]

I wonder if he got any new clients from this video ? lol

[@AndrewNottage]

genius or slimey?

[@ColonelSanchezJr]

Probably the most helpful and easiest audio fix I've come across. Every other video has you running through so many hoops just to get to this level of audio correction. Great job!

[@MikeRussell]

Thanks 🙏

[@barrynervous9026]

Sweet video! This literally was quick and this is all I was looking for, quick steps to get my audio sounding better. Great Job!

[@GGFilms]

Come back to this almost every new film! Thanks Mike!

[@ChristopherDillman]

Learned so much in this 8min of how-to voice tuning than anywhere else. 👏

[@evelinlongo9950]

OMG!!!! There is no comparison, I even saved some crappy dialogue badly recorded. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I always felt so intimidated by dialogue mixing, a revelation really!

[@MikeRussell]

Wonderful to hear this!

[@SkymaxVisuals]

Amazing tutorial. It's surprising how much one can learn despite the years spent on Premiere 😄

[@wedareal7528]

Thank you so much, I’ve been looking all over RUclips for the right video. Now I can start pumping out video with confidence.

I never realized how much I could do with premier and audio! At first I thought I captured bad audio, but I now realize that I just needed to fix a couple of things to make it great! Thanks!

[@MikeRussell]

Glad to have helped

[@BNoble86]

Hi Mike, Thanks very mcuh for these great tutorials. Quick question - does it make a difference in what order I apply these affects to the clip? Thanks in advance!

[@yoru295]

That's really helpful! I was always having trouble with my editing cuz there are 8 and more people talking over each other and everyone has a different mic quality. Now they're at the same wavelength and easy to understand and distinguish. Thank you!

[@MikeRussell]

Hi, just a hint for you, if possible record everyone on a separate track so you can EQ and process each voice individually.

[@yoru295]

@@MikeRussell Thanks for the tip, though sadly I won't be able to apply it. I diverge my mic track, system sounds track, and discord (where 8 other people are) track. So, all 8 people end up on one track anyway.
Though I might try it for podcasts!

[@GetBeamed]

you helped so much with this vid! i never knew i could play with my voice this much in premiere! thanks so much for the knowledge!!!

[@MikeRussell]

Glad to help!

[@TitoMcFadden]

I didn't know I could do all this from Premiere. This will save me some time.

[@jordantinkler2334]

Great tutorial but on the last part whenever I change the compressor and the other settings and play the audio. everything goes back to normal. Why does that happen?

[@MikeRussell]

👌

[@Yellowswift3]

Thank you for the video, Mike. I don't know whether I apply too much post-processing, but I use the compressor, noise gate, and expander in OBS, and then add a few simple effects in PP: denoise, deEsser, EQ, and mastering, that's pretty much where 'I'm at' so far.

[@MikeRussell]

A pretty nice setup there!

[@TopgunB]

I have found going onto the Audio Workspace--click dialogue on the right and set to "Balanced Male Voice" or "Clean Background Voice" seems to do pretty much the same with basically one click!

[@ndiltd]

Wow! Great tutorial video! This is exactly what I am searching for! Thank you 😊

[@MikeRussell]

Try pressing Sift + K . It’s a nice way to play a short clip. If you enable loop, it will also loop.

This was really helpful, my audio will sound better from now on, Thanks

[@MikeRussell]

[@scottmagnuson8920]

Do you use dynamics/autogate to get rid of annoying breaths or just use it every once in a while? I think it's natural to keep a few breaths when talking

[@gregkrazanski]

the compression and eq on your voiceover for this video sounds outrageously aggressive

[@Nicistarful]

It's kind of difficult to listen to, it sounds like the typical "over the top" improvement.

[@thegraphixgeek1543]

Dude could you edit me a 60 sec dialogue audio

@realmasculine8891 How old are you?🤣🤣 what s so good about having authority?

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Thanks for the helpful tutorial. I have an interview with a hand-held mic and there are a couple of 'voice' pops on words. Any method to ease or quiet that letter 'popping' sound?

[@MikeRussell]

There is a pop filter in Adobe Audition otherwise roll off below 100 Hz and tools like iZotope RX.

[@Hollmuth]

Hi Mike. I wonder if you gonna read this old podcast comments of yours but I really would like to know what is the microphone you are using in this tutorial there in the right corner as you speak. I love the deep tone and low freqvensies of this one. That is what I would like to get to my new Blue Marble News Watch channel. I am using some taped old usb headset that sounds terrible :)

[@michaelvanarey8013]

Hey Mike! Great video. Straight to the point. I like it :) I am wondering though, is your workflow the same if you intend in having music in the background under the voice over?

[@MikeRussell]

Thanks! If you intend on using music you'd still follow this process to improve the sound of a voice but then start making adjustments to the music track like removal of EQ and auto-ducking.

[@ProductionJournal]

You are an absolute king

[@theatreman3771]

Complete honesty- I like the original better, just a little quiet (but easily fixable). Everyone has different tastes and mine is simply not your EQ and compression choices. Thank you for showing how it's done though, because now I can go and create a combination that I like. Really do appreciate the effort 👍

[@MikeRussell]

You're welcome. EQ and compresison is a personal choice, every VO artist or producer will probably add their own take. Glad the video has helped

[@sdavies6064]

Brilliant vid - thanks so much. Sorry if I sound dumb but why does my mic only seem to record in one headphone?

[@MikeRussell]

How is your mic connnected to your computer? Under the preferences menu you want to ensure that under Audio Channel mapping your mic is set to both left and right channels. At the moment it's likely that your mic is on one channel and another input on the other channel.

[@gsfcuk]

great vid, thanks for the help

[@MikeRussell]

👍

[@RapidBlindfolds]

have only just started watching, but it would be great if the first tip was 'remove background noise' as thats the main problem I have with my audio. I recommend when doing RUclips tutorials, start with the worst possible (within reason) starting footage so that the viewer - whatever their problem is - can find identify the help they need for their problem

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your suggestion and will make sure to prioritize addressing background noise removal in future tutorials so viewers can tackle their audio issues right from the start.

[@top_tech.500k]

Can you demonstrate how to use the De-esher filter in audition to remove harsh (SH) sounds in words like: she, should, invitation (tion), much (ch), change (ch)?
