The audio level is the base level for your audio, while the volume is the audio the viewer controls. It is important to remember that audio levels and volume are two different things.

Secondary audio, such as natural sound, should always be between -30 and -18dB. Primary audio, which typically consists of narration, interview or dialog should always be between -12 and -6dB. Your video products should adhere to specific audio standards to optimize sound levels and prevent competition between tracks. You can adjust the gain for an entire sequence with the Normalize Master Track command. Its value is combined with the track level for the final mix. The Audio Gain command is independent of the output level settings in the Audio Track Mixer and Timeline panels. You use the Audio Gain command to adjust the gain level for one or more selected clips.

The most straightforward is by using the Audio Gain adjustment feature and the Audio Mix Tool.Īs stated in the Adobe Premiere Pro User Guide, gain refers to the input level or volume in clips. There are several ways to edit and adjust audio.
