This is a great tutorial. Clear and to the point but you can really see how much fun you're having making this content.

[@ShavonSmith]

This honestly was a helpful tutorial especially now that I am getting into audio side of production

[@stephenbruce5431]

Fantastic job. Super helpful tutorial. Appreciate ya bro.🤙

[@raksh9]

Your videos are absolute timesavers and lifesavers. Thank you for all the work you do to make our work easier.

[@helloynasfed]

Best Ever

[@OtakuG]

Thanks! I'm used to do the first 2 methods only... The 3rd one can get really handy sometimes! And I always wondered about how to do the lowpass trick but I was too lazy to research it haha

[@Freeguy1219]

You did amazing job , i watch several videos but your's was just outstanding, thanks brother, love from india.

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you!

[@PaijeBreaks]

Thanks for this video Javier!! Audio has been one of the hardest things for me to grasp. It never sounds right, and there's so much that can go wrong. But this helps!

[@ChristianCantrell]

Quick, clear, effective - and even entertaining. Really good stuff!

[@jdawg63000]

Found you in a Google search and I'm staying for the long haul (just subbed). I really like your tutorials thank you for all you do. There were some real gems in this video. ❤️

[@JavierMercedes]

hey thank you J.R. !

[@jeffkrebs]

Superbly explained - I have used everything else, but I never used the lowpass method. I always avoided music with vocals... I learned something new today! Thank you

[@ylberazizaj]

I really love the simplicity and accuracy of all your videos. You helped me a ton so far! Thank you!

[@ohayuhanna]

the ending with the music with vocals actually queueing back in was very creative

[@youritguy1]

OMG. Just came across this video. I was completely blown away by this method WOW... From now on will be using this as often as possible.

[@CayleeGrey]

SO HELPFUL. I have been manually using key frames because I’m too lazy to learn the automatic way. Now I’ve learned it 💁🏼‍♀️

[@jboremus]

the g.o.a.t. of tutorials, thank you Javier!

[@shimronnetia]

Javier , so creative with this Ducking video... with the birds... good job

[@longnguyen203]

Less than 10 mins and I learned 3 new things (beside the keyframes). Really handy. Subscribed!

[@Brandon4Weiss]

great stuff! Lately I've been playing around with a simple parametric eq centered on an average-ish frequency of the person speaking, so it works a lot like the LPF, but retains some of the higher frequencies the voice doesn't get to.

[@albertusbayu11]

You have content that i really want but never found. First the echo at the end of a sound, and now this. Thank u so much, you deserve more subs & views. Keep it up!!

[@Angelux31]

WOWOWOWOW I JUST LOVE HOW YOU EDUCATE!

[@jackrendall4013]

thank you sooooo much! I started editing this year and just got Premiere Pro recently and your videos are great for helping me learn

[@giziquestudios2091]

You have just saved me hours of work ! Fantastic !!

[@mglkash]

Thank you! You're a life saver! The auto duck wasn't working so was looking to manually add these keyframes

[@marcgothic]

I never realized that I had ducking in PP. Thanks so much. I am in love. Love your tutorials. Thanks so much!!

[@emperorspock3506]

Really like the low-pass filter idea!

[@smitbhatt3593]

These tricks were the need of the hour for many editors.

[@RahasyamayaDuniaODIA]

Thank you

[@ghaithasaad6746]

Rich, fun, and creative content Love this!!!

[@evanfrystakpost]

That lowpass tip was sick!

[@laurametzger8946]

[@Tavyan9]

super helpful video, especially the lowpass tip! thanks!

[@finaltouchautodetailingllc]

Thank you for making this video. Ill be using this in one of my videos soon

[@maviniii]

Hey man, such an informative video, I learned a lot from you, please keep it up ☝🏻👏🏼👍🏻

[@djmoqua]

Can I add another tip? With a background in radio broadcasting I use the audio mixer to accomplish an automatic "ducking" effect: just set your music channel(s) to -21 dB (always use numbers in the table of 3 when working with decibells) and put a multiband compressor set to Broadcast on your master channel. It doesn't duck the music, it does the opposite: it boosts the music when there's no talking. It makes life so much earies for me!

[@omarkhalaf1611]

I've been doing this for years and now it was about time someone gave it a proper name 👏

[@NLENinjaEffects]

I've come across your videos on a few occasions and you've always provided great tips and knowledge. I finally subscribed so I wouldn't miss anymore. Keep up the great work!

[@sannansaleh_]

so much value in just 8 minutes. Subscribed and awaiting more like this!!

[@torinmscott]

I'm just gonna drop a THANK YOU every time you help me out. Lol. Even when I already have a good process for a lot of the stuff you teach, I always get something new that helps strengthen my skills. I used to only drop the mids to make room for VO, I didn't realize how much the highs interfered too! Thank you again.

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you Torin!

[@ScottyCo]

Thanks Jav! Educational and helpful for videos as always!

[@MaxoticsTV]

Great balance of tips to tutorial speed.

[@Zaramindora]

[@thesuburbanmorrigan]

Thank you for this helpful -- and entertaining -- video! I am new to Premiere Pro and watching lots of instructional videos right now. Your presentation style and sense of humor really stands out from the crowd. Thanks again!

[@ginetteco]

What a time saver. Thank you!

[@kimball_stone]

Wicked, thanks! I've been doing manual key frames and the razor tool for as long as I've been editing. Had no idea about the ducking tool!

[@quirkworks4076]

Fabulous. This and the new remix tool, plus your boundless wisdom and encouragement, have been like workflow rocket fuel!

[@JavierMercedes]

That’s awesome to hear!

[@Clemeeeee]

These videos are GREAT! Been using premiere for around 10 years, and I have learned something new in all the videos I've watched from you!

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you Eric!

[@SimRacing604]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@luke_and_listen]

you are the best editor online !!! \

[@florianalbert6566]

Thanx for your tutorials. So informative and practical. Keep up the great work.

[@Linealo]

Combining NR.2 with Nr.4 and balancing them out is my to go to.

[@BrendanCescon]

Low Pass filter is a cool option! It never occurred to me to try that

[@grimsleyreaper]

Great video, man! Another option: Instead of a low-pass filter, scoop (remove/lower) the mids only. Your voice still comes through but the music loses that underwater effect as some of the high-end is still there. Voices exist in the mids anyway so you create a nice space for it without sacrificing the actual intention of the music.

[@JavierMercedes]

Awesome tip and makes so much sense, I’ll have to try it out!

[@grimsleyreaper]

@@JavierMercedes You're the best, man! Much love and positivity

[@AmitIsBest]

@@grimsleyreaper hello bro please explain me how to do that i m new to premiere

[@MahaRudradevMandir]

Amazing Tutorial can you advise how to set all audio to -24 lkfs for tv broadcasting?

[@TrainToAdopt]

[@JLaren]

Another fantastic video, cheers brother.

[@pollutedeyeball6126]

[@AndyBanner]

I had no idea that automatic audio ducking was there! Thank you.

[@JohnDoe-qt8wh]

Great Tutorial. Very straight forward and easy to follow. Thanks

[@ilSolitoMute]

Thanks for this video, Javier! I’d also like to know which is the recommended level for the voice volume and which for the music one.

[@DylanGarton]

Excellent video Javier!

[@LokeyTavs]

The fourth option is my jam! Thanks, Javier ✌🏼

[@mrsthicke]

You would think after watching hundreds of tutorials on Premiere, I would know everything. lol NOPE. Javier...You have the BEST tutorials about Premiere Pro on KZbin. I'm learning stuff I didn't even know existed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for making such fun, easy-to-digest videos. 🤘🏽🔥

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you!

[@ShotByChuka]

Love this tutorial. I knew about the first two methods before. I make use of the 2nd method because its easier than the first in my opinion. But that 3rd method is legendary. Just learning about it for the first time today and I see myself trying it out in the future. Thanks for this nice tutorial.

[@andyony2]

Thank you, Javier :) 1 Note to using "Low Pass" Filter. I dont like it the way, you showed it, because if I see it correctly, you have to manually do the keyframes, again, right? The great advantage of step 3 is the automatic feature! So I am thinking about a better way of combining them: What I often do is that I use 2 seperate versions of the tracks underneath each other. Then I automatically duck the first track by so much, that the second version is more audible. Then you can apply all the effects you need to the second track and it will be audible :)

[@LifeofPal]

I think making cuts and adjusting volume level is more perfect than inbuilt ducking feature. Gonna try this.

[@darealphantom]

Great tutorial you literally saved my life with this video and it's going to make my editing time much faster kudos to you❗🚀🚀
