I love these tutorials, wish more youtubers payed attention to their audio track

[Retrogamer]

You answered a question I had in my dreams about audio balancing in Premier. You are amazing Claudio.

[borrielloantonio]

Volevo ringraziarti tantissimo per questa guida! Noto utile anche l'effetto della riduzione disturbo se l'audio ha qualche rumore costante di sottofondo.
I wanted to thank you so much for this tutorial! I also find the audio noise reduction effect useful if the recorder voice audio has some constant background noise.

This is a great practical tutorial on the use of compressors, limiters and De essing for you tube videos. I use the same techniques with different tools but the same principles still apply. Thank you so much a great video

[TK_Lee]

This is very helpful, Thank You for making this 👍

[CapNRGMusic]

Claudio nice tutorial man! My buddy told me, when I first started YouTube, to get my audio to sound more like yours (levels and such). And now with this tutorial - you just handed me the process!! Very excited to implement it!! Thanks man!!

[djshineboy]

Very usefull video ! And not only for Youtube audio mixing. Thx !

[TrangLe-ccci]

You just earned yourself another subscriber. Amazing, informative and straight to the point! As a Premiere Pro editor learning audio mixing, THANK YOU!!

I thought this would be a „meh“ episode. Because we (i) want SYNTH and MUSIC. However, this turns out to be gold. SO many cool, yet simple tricks to clean up a YT or any other video. Great content and teaching Claudio!

Watching this in my studio, listening through Adam audio monitors 😎

[gabbo]

I always use the Dynamics, EQ and Compressor for the audio, but I haven't noticed that you put the Hard Limiter on the Master track to enhance, and I can apply it to my latest video. However, I made some other videos in the past and I always check the LUFS Normalizer to fulfill the standard (in this case is -16/-17 LUFS instead or-14 for YouTube) before to export. But Thank you for the tutorial!

Que buen video, que nadie explica y solo lo hace DR. MIX, gracias TOTALES!

[clifton]

Thanks Claudio, been trying to learn some of this stuff for recording my son on his drums.

I was listening to 99 Red Balloons a few days ago and thought it would be a great track for you to reconstruct.

Great channel by the way!

[airwolf]

Thank you for this very detailed demonstration of your workflow in Adobe Premiere! Very helpful for me, especially the gain staging part. Would have love to see more about LUFS in the end of the video, but thats just me :). Hope your new studio is doing well! I really want to see a room tour, as soon as you think its showable to the audience!

[Projacked]

Do you have a dedicated ground line for the studio?

[pietropavan]

Thanks a lot Doctor Mix, very informative video !! It would be nice to know what is your workflow when recording youtube videos, do you record in OBS ? or do you record internally inside your camera memory cards and mount all videos togheter with premiere ? I guess the different camera angles are actioned in post production, but it would be interesting to know how is the video and audio mixing done...

Hi Claudio, do you think that the fantom is too much of a beast for a first synthesizer, I'm in love with it watching all the 4x4x4 challenges
