If you’re struggling to set the right volume for your voice and music in Final Cut Pro, this video not only answers how loud your videos should be, both voice and music, but it also breaks down the audio settings that can help you achieve more professional-quality sound. I’ll cover how to set your recording levels, use the compressor for smoother audio, add a limiter to control volume peaks, and reduce background noise. Plus, I’ll show you how to balance music with your voice for clear audio and how to save all these settings as presets for faster editing.

Legend. I need to creat a folder to save all your helpful videos until I’ve engrained it all.

[PANDACHOPChronicles]

Thank you so much for this video. Definitely a lot of great helpful tips.

[JWindsor]

Wow, Dylan, this was SO GOOD! Thanks!

[SmackeysGarage]

This is a question I've had forever and struggled to find the answer. THANK YOU!

For quick adjustment, I like the tonality (Compressor) and uniformity (dynamic) in the audio inspector. Sorry for bad english.

[creatingwithjon]

Thank you!!! Everyone always says audio is half your video but nobody has made it so easy to understand. 🎉🎉🎉

[srividya]

Best videos . I have been waiting for this video

[HaiTomVlog]

Wow I was just trying to figure this out, perfect timing! 🤙🏼

[JasonParkerMagic]

Wow very nice video! What do you think about using techniques (like you did with music at the end) to isolate and remove certain annoying frequencies from the voice track? I've seen videos of YTers teaching this, but not sure if it's really a great idea.... like kinda sweeping / scanning for annoying frequencies and cutting those out. Or is this just going down some rabbit hole that's not worth it?

[goodshotsproductions]

Pleasant to watch and really concise tutorial. Great info! Going to apply this for sure.

[TomSwanPlaysGuitar]

As one of the lucky first to see this great video I just want to say how helpful your advice is especially on EQ and volume adjustments. Thank you for making this. More please.

[backtoreality]

Dude …. You are always on point .. your tips have help me out so much thank you… It’s crazy but the EQ lesson you taught it in another video and i have been using it in every video … thanks again

[JasonParkerMagic]

Also... does following all the steps in this video take care of adjusting the overall volume level which you upload to YouTube? Or after applying these... you still need to go back and adjust the overall global volume level to be loud enough for YouTube?

[weeklycreep]

I'm the person who messaged you on IG a few weeks ago and this helped me so much lol I'm an electrician, this stuff is my hobby so I need these tutorials!!! 😅

[SeoulMan]

[rowanharty]

Yo! Great tips! How can I apply them when editing dialogue in surround sound mode. I get tripped up on how to use the limiter properly when I select Pan> Surround> Dialogue
