Maybe you want to sound like you're in an old time radio,
you'd like a music-bed to end before it really does end,
you'd like to improve the sound of your audio,
or you'd simply like to sound like a chipmunk,
or a dark Lord.
Let's investigate how we do this right now.
And the first one is really simple,
I've got a sample of me speaking,
and I want to sound like I'm on an old time radio.
You can sound like you're on an old time radio.
So this is just me speaking into my microphone.
But if I now go into the audio workspace,
and I just, let's crop this clip out,
by using the C the razor tool, work only on this.
Select it as dialogue here, and you simply tick EQ
and then there's three presets here that work really well.
The first one is intercom.
And I'm actually gonna go ahead and bring in
the loop shortcut, which is available to me up here.
Let's bring that down and loop round
this little bit of audio,
so we can hear exactly what this EQ effect does.
So I'm placing in and out.
You can sound like you're on an old time radio.
Pretty cool.
You can sound like you're on an old radio.
And the more I increase it...
You can sound like you're on an old time radio.
The more it increases the effect, it makes it sound cool.
So that's intercom.
There's also old radio, let's try this.
You can sound like you're on an old time radio.
And again, old time radio sound.
And the other one is on the telephone,
and again, this is boosting the kind of mid frequencies,
the frequencies you'd expect to be associated
with sounding like you're on the phone.
You can sound like you're on an old time radio.
So it's really good for changing the sound of a voice
and adding that old time radio, telephone, Intercom effect
that's so popular in many of our video productions.
Now, another thing you can do
is of course you can bring music in.
And I'm gonna drag and drop a music track here,
and start it playing back.
It's probably going to be too loud.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so that's definitely loud in comparison to the voice.
But that's okay because I'll mute out the voice now
and just focus on this music bed.
Again, we'll clear these in and out markers
so we can hear it in its entirety.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so sometimes we want to end the music bed
before it ends
Here it's a 3O second piece of music
and there's something called reverb.
It's available in Adobe Premier Pro.
I like to call it the false ending,
because essentially you're taking a piece of music
and making it end before it really does
using a bit of reverb.
So how would we do this?
(upbeat music)
Okay, so I want it to end there, at the end of that beat.
So what I'm actually going to do
is I'm going to duplicate this down onto audio track three.
So holding down Alt or Option on my keyboard
and dragging down one, I've duplicated this music bed.
Now what I'm gonna do is solo this track
and just focus in on the bit
that I want to make reverb into eternity, if you like.
So let's go here and cut that, get rid of the start of that,
and then we're gonna have.
Okay, so we're gonna have that little bit here.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so let's move that a little bit further in.
Okay, so...
Okay, so that is the bit that I definitely want to reverb.
Now I've cut there, but actually instead of cutting,
what you can do is expand this track down
and use the pencil, P, or select it over here,
and I can just fade this down
at the point I want to add my reverb.
So let's listen.
Okay.
Pretty good, but a sharp ending there, isn't it?
So now I'm going to cut this at this point,
bring both tracks back in.
Now you'll notice that track goes quite loud at the end,
I'm gonna fade that down a bit.
Okay.
And then I'm gonna go ahead and add an effect
to this track.
And the way you do that
is you simply go into your effects area over here.
It's usually over in the left
or you can go to the effects workspace,
or just search for the effects window,
which is available right here in the window menu.
Then I'm gonna search for reverb,
but more specifically,
I want to be looking for the studio reverb.
And when I found that effect, it's under audio effects,
I can drag and drop it onto my duplicated second track.
Not the original, the duplicated second track.
Place that there.
And it's important to have some of this audio playing
even after you fade it down, so the reverb takes effect.
Let's listen to it now.
(upbeat music)
Okay, we got a little bit of reverb.
That's good, but we haven't quite dialed it in.
So now I'm going go to my effect controls
and find that studio reverb.
I'm gonna edit it and I'm gonna find a suitable preset
to really make this false ending sound good.
So we'll go here.
One of my favorite effects is outside club,
and we'll bring that in
and then let's just pop that up there and play this back.
There we go, now we've got a nice false reverb.
If we really want to increase the decay time,
the amount of time the reverb goes on to,
from 2000, to say 4,500, that's four and a half seconds.
Let's play. (upbeat music)
And that's a nice false ending to that music.
So now we've got this,
let's play back from the start and listen to what it's done.
(upbeat music)
There we go, so false ending.
And we can tweak about with these things,
we can turn the wet up to make the wet more prominent,
we can change high and low frequency cuts as well
to make the reverb a little more shiny like this.
There we go.
So we've increased
the amount of frequencies available in the reverb,
and we get a nice clean ending.
And of course we can cut this music bed around here
when the reverb decay has finished.
Let's play that. (upbeat music)
But of course, if we cut it too early,
it's gonna cut the reverb as well,
which is why we need to drag this out a bit
to get the full effect of the reverb.
So, so far we've done old time radio effect,
we've done false ending to music beds, but that's not it,
let's dive back in and look at one of my favorite
and little known cool audio effects in Adobe Premiere Pro.
It's overall mastering to make your audio sound good.
So let's bring my vocals back in,
and let's actually duck down the music a bit.
Let's go to the audio track mixer
and bring these music tracks down ever so slightly
so you can hear what's being said.
Maybe push my voice up.
You can sound like you're on old time radio.
(upbeat music)
You can increase the quality of your audio
with just a bit of subtle clarity.
Okay, let's move this out a little bit to the end here.
You can increase the quality of your audio
with just a bit of subtle clarity.
And now I'm gonna go ahead
and I'm gonna do something really, really cool.
I'm gonna pop out this top left triangle here
to get an effects rack.
And then you have effects racks
for all of your audio tracks, audio one, two, and three,
you can see, one, two and three.
But you also have a mixed track,
which is your overall audio mix.
That's everything inside your sequence,
so the dialogue, the music, the sound effects, everything.
And over here, when I complete a project in premiere pro,
I like to go into special, and I like to look for mastering.
And one of my favorite presets inside mastering,
it's really easy to set up, is subtle clarity.
It's brilliant for enhancing the sound of the audio
on your videos.
The only thing I suggest you change here
is pull the reverb from 20% down to zero,
otherwise you're gonna have that kind of reverb sound
going on in the background.
Now let's bring this back and play.
(upbeat music)
You can increase the quality of your audio
with just a bit of subtle clarity.
And then let's remind ourselves with that disabled.
You can increase the quality of your audio
with just a bit of subtle clarity.
And as you can hear, it's enhancing the sound.
If you wanna really boost up the highs,
I suggest that you increase the exciter here.
Let's listen to that.
You can increase the quality of your audio
with just a bit-
Too much of that can go a little bit too (indistinct) though
so be careful with that.
And if you want really good compression on your video,
try the loudness maximizer.
You can increase the quality of your audio
with just a bit-
And notice that I'm going over zero DB there,
so I probably need to also go ahead
and turn that down a little bit on the master track
so it doesn't distort too much.
You can increase the quality of your audio
with just a bit of-
And the final thing I'd probably go ahead and do
is go back into special
and I'd find the loudest meter,
and I'd make sure I'm conforming to loudness standards,
but that's for another video.
Mastering with the subtle clarity effect
is absolutely awesome, try it on your next video.
You will thank me.
And finally, the fourth and final one,
it's a little bit of fun.
We're gonna leave the mastering effect on,
but now we're gonna add in a new effect,
and I'm going to split out these files
so I can add on the effect to two different clips here.
So we'll go and search over in our effects again for pitch,
and we'll drag on the pitch shifter
to both this one and this one.
And then when we go into the effects controls,
we'll go to the effect controls, first of all for this one,
and we'll edit the pitch shifter,
and we'll push this up to maybe 10 semitones plus.
And then on this one we'll edit it
and we'll push this one down to 10 semitones minus.
There's also some really cool presets,
Angry Gerbil, Deathly, Stretch, and the Dark Lord.
And you'll see adding this pitch shifter effect does this.
You can sound like a chipmunk.
Or you can sound like the the Dark Lord.
So it's just a bit of fun, so much you can do.
Four of my favorite cool audio effects
for Adobe Premier Pro.
