Level Out Audio in Premiere Pro to -6db without using SoundBooth?
Hi,
I’m trying to level out Audio in my Premiere Pro CS 5.5 timeline.
Here’s what I’ve done so far, and it sounds OK.
I laid my 12 minute on a timeline. I then went into Soundbooth from Premiere Pro. I wemt to Process —— Hard Limit.
It brought up the levels a lttle bit.I saved it, went back in Premiere Pro and clicked on my AudioTrack, I went to Audio Effects and raised the volume to 6 DB. It was still a little low so I added another volume effect from the Audio Effects folder onto the Audio Clip in the timeline. I then raised that up to 6DB as well. Now it sounds good.
The first time I did this I put the clip on the timeline, went into SoundBooth and put a Process —— “Equalize Volume” on the clip.
I went back into Premiere and when I played it back, the levels were perfect, but the audio would go up and down when someone was not speaking. It was annoying.
So that’s why I did the “Hard Limit” I described above.
Now my question:
Is there a way to level out all of my Audio to -6 without going into SoundBooth? I would like to do it only in Premiere if possible.
If not, what is the best possible method to do it in SoundBooth so my audio is even and it does not go up and down when someone is not talking
Thanks in advance.

If you look at the Audio Mixer panel, there is a “master” channel all the way to the right, with a blue volume slider. This represents your output audio. You can apply effects to this channel which in turn will affect the entirety of your other tracks simultaneously. See this tutorial:

The “dynamics” effect has a hard limit tick box you can check and set for -6.
And the Lord said, “Come forth and receive eternal life.” But I came fifth and all I got was a set of steak knives!
