How Do I Make Multiple Songs The Same Volume? (How To)

what's up ladies and gentlemen it's your boy Isaac I have a tutorial for you so this is a little bit different really so like this isn't like a professional audio tutorial or mastering or anything like that the situation is is I have a couple friends who own dance studios right and basically what they do is they take you know 18 20 songs and put it together into a set list right so the problem is is they're all different volumes cuz they were produced by different producers they were Mastered by different mastering houses the volume levels are not the same so as they go through their dance set list you know they'll be vibing they'll be vibing and then the volume will just drop on the next song and their set and that's that's just not good for anybody right um so they're always asking me is there some kind of program I can just put them all in and make them the same volume and you know what and this day and age there probably is what I don't know about it but I can just show you very quickly uh how to do it with a basic recording program anything Garage Band Whatever uh so basically what needs to happen I'm using Ableton Live for the sake of this tutorial along with Sarah Bellis gravity song One the fry How to Save a Life song two and Gavin de gr belief song three so anyways H first thing you need to do is you need to import your songs into your recording program whatever it is um so if you don't know how to import songs into a recording program you should probably start there before this video just saying so what I've done is I've imported these songs in right and I've laid them out on separate tracks so I've got Sarah barelis on track one I've got the fry track two and I've got D Gavin Negra uh whatever track three and you do this for however many songs you want your set list and you can also see that I laid them out uh anyways I laid them out behind each other like you would in a set lless and you you can drag this around whatever length you want between s it doesn't really matter but anyways what I've and you can look right here so if you look at sellis you see how fat the waveform is here and like let's let's just watch this real quick so you play that see this is this is the output meter right here you don't even need to really listen if you can just watch right so you see how her song is just like cracking right at the top of this limiter that means it's like maxed out right um now let's play uh The Fray right now watch this you see the output meter right here here let me see this you see this right here he's not even close to the top of this meter C Bellis was way up here okay so let's go check gravin narage track out real quick uh it's better it's actually not that bad really c el was still cracking off towards the top so that's the problem right you go from Sarah to whatever and the volume drops no bueno right so what I've done is I've put a limiter on each one of these tracks it's uh this should be in any program you have like uh it'll just be like an audio effects you'll find the limiter I personally use a plugin uh from ver what is it Vienna Suite Library cuz the just their plugins are just they're they're sweet right but anyways it's besides the point so what I've done is I've laid out a track let me get this stuff out of the way here so I've laid out I've laid out each song on individual tracks right and I put a limiter on every one of these right so you need to pick a reference track right I would suggest the loudest track in your mix just just pick one to be like the main source right for us it's going to be Sarah Bellis so here's a little trick too right now so you have this song in the limiter it's Ben mastered somebody awesome did it but I'm still going to show you this anyways so your limiter this is the ceiling of the output right I always make my ceiling 8 the reason I do that is like if you upload anything to Instagram Faceook any type of thing where you're going to load like like a video or whatever you're doing into something it's going they're going to limit they're going to basically make it louder and it's going to distort if you're at zero not Bueno so basically what you're doing is you're telling the limiter it's going to press down anything right here uh at8 the ceiling is ne8 anything that hits that is going to get pressed down and nothing's going to come above it so you're not going to get Distortion when you like upload an Instagram video that's just my personal thing I recommend it so anyways boom so our first track let's listen so it's not really I have that uh that limiter on there and it's not I bet you this was already done in the production cuz it's not pressing it [Music] down my bad so anyways oh yeah let's watch this limiter so let's play sella and let's watch this is the volume of the track and it's like it doesn't really dip below this [Music] six so doesn't it doesn't really drop below that six right so let's go over here track to the fry so if you don't have so look at look at [Music] baralis look at our boys over [Music] here right that's pretty much how you do it so let's go just go fix the gav the garage track so you can see what's up here let's see where Gavin's bouncing at so right now we've got Sarah Belles bouncing it doesn't come below that six you've got the how to save life doesn't come below that six that means like even though like that's the output now they're even crazy so let's go over here to Gavin de GR track real quick limiter so just with a limiter on each track I put a limiter on each track and I'm adjust adjusting the threshold right here I'm just adjusting the threshold on each track against like my reference track which is Sarah barelis um and basically I've matched the output of every single song by just adjusting the threshold that's pretty much it so like now all all three of these tracks boom [Music] boom boom they all have the same exact output volume that's pretty much it so all my little dance studio homies that's how you do it you just import your audio uh into individual tracks drop a limiter onto each track pick a reference track uh find out where it's bouncing at on the on the uh on your output meter right here and basically you just want to have every single one of the songs in your set bounce at the same output level so it doesn't change it's literally that simple and then you just export it all out which enabl to live you just like do your loot brackets boo you export it all out into your song and it's all the same volume you can dance if you want to but anyways that's it I hope this helps yall out um this was a recommendation for my friend Roman to do this for all my dance studio peeps so if y'all do uh want to learn something else or want to know something else to do just uh let me know in the comments and I will try I can't say I guarantee it I will try and make y'all a video to help yall learn or figure something out so I don't want to be cliche but like And subscribe please bye-bye
