Even Out Volume Levels

The Even out volume levels option adjusts the volume of the audio on the Timeline to a standard level. Use this option when the recording level between audio clips varies greatly.

Audio enhancements apply to all audio on the Timeline, not to a selection or individual clip.

1.	In the Task List, select Audio enhancements.

2.	The Audio Enhancements pane appears. Enable the Even out volume levels option.

3.	Select an option from the Settings dropdown that best describes the level of audio variation on the Timeline. The volume leveling occurs immediately. If you select the Custom Settings option, click Show advanced options to adjust the custom settings.

Ratio: Sets the compression slope which determines how the output signal changes in relation to the input signal once the input signal exceeds the threshold.

Threshold: Sets the level which signals are compressed or limited. Increasing the threshold clamps signals at a higher level, reducing the amount of compression or limiting.

Gain: Process of reducing dynamics lowers the signal’s overall level. The gain control compensates by adding increasing output gain, or signal level.

4.	To preview the new audio, click Play in the Preview Window. Enable and disable the Even out volume levels option to compare the audio quality before and after applying this option.

5.

Click OK.
