MASSIVELY Improve Your Audio with These 4 Effects in Premiere Pro (Tutorial)

I'm pretty sure I do not need to explain the importance of quality audio in your videos it's crucial you know that and when you're working in recording with a point-and-shoot camera the audio can just turn out tinny and super gross but I love the trick that can solve all of it let's head back to the studio and jump into the tutorial [Music] this little camera I love it and I hate it it is such a cool little pocket-sized camera but the audio is terrible you know on most of these little pointing shoots it's pretty terrible but with this trick I learned I'm about to teach you I've actually gotten the audio on this guy to sound a lot better let's jump into premiere and I'll show you the few effects audio effects that you can add to any audio clip that sounds tinny and like it lacks bass and that like just like real nice tone what you can do to get a lot closer to that so I'm here in my premiere file I already dragged the two audio clips that I recorded earlier here in my studio into my timeline to speed this up the first clip I have here is this is how the audio sounds without this tactic the best I can do here with this tutorial is just play this out loud on my speakers here in the studio it's not perfect but it'll work it'll suffice let's keep rolling with it the first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna go over to our effects control right here and we're going to search for parametric equalizer and we're gonna drop that puppy onto our clip this is the secret sauce I didn't know what this this little effect did but it is magic I love it and I'm so excited to show this to you click on the sound of our clip and then scroll down here under our effects controls and hit edit now that we have this up the one thing that we're gonna do is over here on the low end the 40 Hertz what we're gonna do is we're gonna use this which is this little keyframe right here and we're gonna pull this up to about aa 120 130 is usually where I like it and I'm gonna show you what that does so if I just put this bad boy right back down and I click play and I'll bring my playhead back actually before I go any further let me show you one more quick trick so you can loop the audio whenever you're working to master it all you have to do is go to your timeline and go to the very beginning of the clip and click I to set an end point and then click o27 out points and then what you can do with this little loop icon is make sure that's toggled on if you don't see that just go ahead and click this little plus it'll bring up the button editor and you can drag that loop icon right into the bar here so what that'll do is that'll just it'll just create a loop and frankly it's gonna get super annoying hearing that over and over and over and over again especially if it's a short clip but it is way less annoying than editing and then having to click back go to the beginning of the playhead click back go to the beginning of the playhead that sucks way more all right back to the effects so now that we have our loop I'm gonna show you what it's gonna do once we adjust this paramedic parametric equaliser this is how the audio sounds with this tactic this is how the audio sounds what you can start to tell and you can start to hear that it's getting a little bit more of that low end where I end up actually liking it and you can kind of use this as your baseline is around 130 Hertz and then I usually put the decibels up to 20 and then what I do is I go ahead and enable this shelf so it's on its steepest incline I guess you could say we have three more effects to add that's two more we have three more effects to add so I'm gonna go ahead and close this guy and then what we're gonna do is we're gonna go down here and add during drag mastering over to our clip slide down here click Edit perfect now we got our mastering what I like to do on mastering it's super simple I'm gonna go ahead and enable low shelf high shelf is already enabled I'm going usually our reverb is around 20 bring your reverb all the way down so here's how we sound now not too bad okay you can't tell a huge difference especially probably through this speaker but now I'm gonna adjust the playhead and show you the original clip and how much difference we've already made so here is without without this and this is how the audio sounds with this it's starting to get better but we have two more effects to add next we're gonna go over here and we're going to add the multi-band compressor so I'm gonna drag this onto the clip I'll go ahead and close this guy click on there and then let's edit our multiband compressor so here before I play the clip we're basically gonna adjust the low end frequencies of the clip again our audio is really tinny because of his microphone so mostly what we're gonna be adjusting is the low end and mid-end audio arranges audio arranges sure I'm gonna go with audio ranges so let's play the clip back really quick just so we can see how our frequency lines up and I'm just gonna like go ahead and mute my speakers we don't need to listen to this once again yet I'm just gonna show you what the frequency looks like here in our multiband compressor so as you can see here we're still lacking a little bit of low-end you can also tell by our equalizer right here so one thing that I like to do is I like to bring down this threshold to right about where the yellow is hitting so on this low-end it's all right around 36 and then what I like to do is bring up the gain to accommodate for it and usually I'll bring up my game about 10 decibels so let me just go ahead and pause this restart it and I'm gonna show you what this sounds like turn the speakers back on this is how the audio sounds with this TAC let's keep rolling so close this guy and the last thing that we want to add is a hard limiter drag this puppy right on there click Edit now we've got our hard limiter what I like to do is always limit to negative 3 decibels this is going to make sure that our audio file or our audio doesn't clip and get to crazy loud so we'll set that to a limit of 3 dB so if we go back to our playhead this is how the audio sounds with this tactic oh it's starting to sound so good now just really quickly I want to go back I want to show you our original clip and how our sound has changed by adding those or effects and this is how the audio sounds with this tactic oh it's sounding so much better so those are the 4 effects that you are gonna want to play with the parametric equalizer mastering the multiband compressor and the hard limiter I highly suggest you start playing with a few of those different levers within each of those tools but between those or effects it is going to drastically help you could create produce in post awesome audio that is the tutorial for the day if you liked this tutorial and you want more like its let me know in the comments below what are you struggling with in Adobe Premiere that I can go out research learn some
