Question about volume & sounds

Hello,

I have an important question regarding audio for video.

If you put together a video that includes more quiet sounds such as background ambience and sounds that are supposed to be far away, what happens if somebody watching your video is watching with their TV speakers or headphones set to a low volume? The reason I ask is because if somebody is watching your video with a lower volume, then they won’t be able to hear the quieter sounds as mentioned above? Is there a way to ensure that the quietest of sound effects in your videos are able to be heard when being played at a low volume?

This is something that I have been wondering about for quite some time...

@Mitch-way06

How would you suggest I go about making the background sound closer to the foreground, as you say?

I haven’t yet tried out the settings that you showed me for the compressor.

When you do try out those settings in that second sentence, you will almost certainly have the answer to the question in your first one!

The settings that John showed me you mean?
