Hey what's up you guys and welcome back to Gal. If you guys are new here I make
weekly video editing and production tips to help you guys create better content.
Even if you are subscribed or you're a new subscriber be also sure to hit that
notification bell so you're notified when I publish new content so let's just
jump into it here. In the last tutorial I did on Audio, I compared microphones
recording into Premiere Pro. The RODE NT USB versus the FiFine K670
[GOLLUM VOICE] They stole it from us!
And what I have here is the voice sample from the Fifine k670 which i've put in a link in
the description box below so if you guys want to download the voice sample and
follow along you can! So what we're going to do is make this audio sound as
best as possible so let me just play back a little bit of
it. [Voice sample] There are only fourteen peaks in the world that rise to over 8,000 meters.
So it's pretty good there's just a tad bit of background noise and we want to level
out the sound to get it between minus 12 and minus 6 decibels so the first step
is to select the audio track here in your timeline and then go to the
essential sound panel if you don't have this open go up to window then go to a
essential sound then we need to select the audio type this is dialogue, so select
dialogue. The first step is to automatch the loudness and see what happens when I click that
the waveform bounces up because it's equalizing it and it's making it
broadcast standard for loudness. Now if I play it back we can see the audio level
set rise to over 8000 meters so it's still a little bit low but what we can
do is just increase the clip volume here just a tad bit to see how it sounds
let me play it back "there are only 14 peaks in the world that rise to over
8,000 meters" so that looks about right the next step is to reduce any
background noise so this is where I go to the repair tab right here in the
essential sound just select reduce noise and at 5 it's too much let me play this
back "all of them are here in the Himalayas lethally cold scarred
by gales and blizzards these mountains are among the most hostile places so
that sounded good around 0.8 you don't want it to be too high or it's gonna
sound distorted the next thing if I play this bit back here you can hear that my
voice kind of bumped the microphone so we need to reduce the rumble here and
there's a slider for that let me just play this back so you can hear the bump
"these mountains are among the most hostile" did you hear that right there?
"the most hostile places" so that bit right here along the most hostile we
want to get rid of that bump so to do that I'm just going to click reduce
Rumble and then I'm going to play this back to see how it sounds these
mountains are among the most hostile places there's still a little bit there
so let's increase this up let's crank it up "are among the most hostile places so
you can see that before if I uncheck it or among the most hostile play and after
it's applied " are among the most hostile places" it's much better now there's some
other stuff here under repair there's De hum to remove electrical noises we don't
have any there's a de-esser if you need to remove harsh s sounds from your audio
we don't have any so I'll skip that and there's reduce reverb so if you have
any like big echoes going on you can use reduce reverb to get rid of some of the
echo-ness there's clarity if you want to make the voice more focused or
natural I'm going to skip that and I'm going to jump straight into EQ because
this is what I normally apply to my voice so what's really cool about EQ is
that there's a bunch of different presets so there's some cool ones like
if you want to sound like you're from an old radio if you just click that and
play it back "there are only 14 Peaks in the world" and that's a super cool effect
so if you want to sound like you're from a 1940's broadcast you can just apply
this preset and you sound that way but for this I'm
just going to use a subtle female boost just to boost the EQ and then you can
play around with the amount until it sounds great "that rise to over 8,000
meters" and this just adds some more texture makes my voice more present
now there's also another feature here called enhance speech so if I apply the
enhanced speech you will see that it kind of sounds a bit robotic "there are
only fourteen peaks in the world that rise to over 8,000 meters" and with it
off "all of them are here in the Himalayas" so it just sounds more natural
but I actually find ironically that the male enhancer actually works much better
on my voice because I have a lower range voice so let me play this back with the
male enhancement on and let me know what you think "there are only fourteen peaks
in the world that rise to over 8,000 meters all of them are here in the
Himalayas" so it adds a little bit more presence to the voice add some more bass
and I actually like it for kind of that powerful voiceover that I'm going for
but of course you don't have to use this it just adds a bit more presence another
thing I like to add is reverb so this brings in more environment you can
choose from a variety of presets just like the EQ so if you want it to make it
sound like they're in a large auditorium or a large reflective room and you apply
it at five you're gonna get a lot more echo there are only fourteen peaks in
the world that rise to over 8,000 meters yeah so that does the job obviously we
don't need it here but what I like to do is add a very subtle amount of thickened
voice to my voice just to make it sound a little bit more whole and thick there
are only fourteen peaks in the world so those are the tools that I use to make
my voice sound great and in the next tutorial I'm going to be
showing you how to mix music with voice so that way the music levels are good
and you can hear the audio at the correct levels. And for the new product
