Setting The Sound Level On 12 Video/Songs?

kenesp wrote on 3/3/2014, 6:14 PM

Hello everyone. I have 12 songs on a CD. My wife and I wrote and composed them all and we own the copyright. Now we have made videos of all 12 songs and are in the process of putting a DVD together. We mimed the videos and added the audio of the CD to the videos.

The songs on the CD are all mastered and normalized etc and there is no need to change anything on that but when we play the DVD video through the 12 songs the volumes of the music is at different levels for each song it seems.

Is there a way in Movie Edit Pro 2014 Plus to get all the music for all 12 videos to the same level?

Can all the videos be treated at one time or does a person have to work on each video separately and then join them later into a 12 song video?

Thanks for any help.

Ken

Hi,

For video made with VDL you can use the sound  mixer (Windows tab/Mixer) or select a sound track and press M on keyboard to open the mixer window. You can view this tutorial to give to you hints

I made a tutorial on sound mixer is a French version done with the English software this is the link:

Adjust the sound level to -6 to 0 or max orange level .

Hi

Have you tried Normalising the video sound track in MEP?

Right click each audio track and select Normalize.

Hello John. Thanks for the reply. Yes we did try normalizing but perhaps we have done something wrong with the levels before the normalizing of each song individually. I was hoping that there would be a way of normalizing all the songs/DVD in one long move. I guess we don't really know what we are doing. I think that we did not record all of the songs onto each video at exactly the same level.

Many thanks YR. Hey I wish I had learnt French when I was in school. We did not have that option unfortunately so I was lost when watching your video. I did however see you use the mixer in the video. I am not sure if the mixer will make any difference to the whole 12 videos as one.

I guess we will have to go back to the drawing boards as they say and try it all again.

Hi,

The master volume to your right can be adjusted to the level you need. normally is 0 but some use -6.

Also the sound track has a line to ajust directly the volume level.when you move up all the sound track become higher or the iverse is down.

Regards,
