Allow me to introduce a new unit of measurement for sound volume, which I call vovol* (abbreviated: volume voltage). THIS IS HOW IT WORKS: You use two pre-stages, one with positive volume values, and the other negative. For example, so has the pre-step with positive values a measurement from +0 decibels up to +20, while the one with negative values, has from -0 decibels down to -20 decibels. The highest voltage occurs when the value is +20 and -20 decibels (or: 20 vovol), while there is low voltage, when the value is on +0 and -0 decibels (or: 0 vovol). You can possibly also combine two different values with each other, by adjusting the value to +10 -20 vovol, which gives a crisper effect. Have experimented with this myself at work and at home. The adjustment can of course be set to taste, but the purpose of vovol for me is to equalize the sound volume, so that you better hear weak sounds and at the same time avoid high deafening sound levels (loudness war's). Thank you for reading this! Take care of your hearing... :-) Awesome video anyway!

So many videos that go from normal levels to whisper levels, yet expecting you to hear it as if it was obvious. So many editors I SWEAR never play back their own audio before publishing. Also the same with text on screen: Golden rule is that you as the editor that knows the text, should be able to read the text THREE times for the viewer to be able to effectively read it ONCE.

2 years ago it may have been the case that youtube doesnt increase the volume however its not the case anymore. Most people watch videos through the youtube mobile app these days rather than a PC, and unfortunately the volume levels are completley different through the app. One of my videos plays perfect through the pc however, the video begins with a softly spoken passage and due to an automatic normalisation algorithm on the mobile app which increases the volume - the quality is drastically reduced and i know of nothing I can do to allow my volume levels to be left alone! I did a little test and re uploaded the video with minus 16 decibels, however, through the app the volume is just as loud and distorted as the original which was at -1.4db when viewed through the pc and 'stats for nerds'.

@MstrMark3 жыл бұрын
@@aileezaga Thanks for the reply. And thanks for the video too. There is no shortage of videos on this subject, but most of the methods shown don't actually result in meeting KZbin's recommended -14 LUFS. Setting levels in DaVinci Resolve is something that looks like it should be simple, but it doesn't take too long to realize that no matter what Target loudness level is set at the project level, the rendered output never changes. (Apparently) the only thing the project affects is the metering, and even then, only certain metering. There may be a way to do it with the tools built into Fairlight, but it's certainly not obvious to me how to match what YouTUbe wants. For example, one might think that by setting the project to -14 LUFS and then normalizing the timeline to -1, that it would come out just perfect for KZbin, but sadly, that just not true. The Waves WLM Plus Loudness Meter plugin actually works - if I adjust for -14 LUFS in the readout, then KZbin shows a content loudness adjustment near zero dB. It's a little fussier than I would prefer, and annoying to me that it can't be done from the Edit tab, but at least it does provide the desired results!

Can you please share your expertise? In advance, thank you
@aileezaga2 жыл бұрын
Hello! Thank you for your kind comment! When it comes to downloading music from KZbin there is no way to change the volume of the file from the downloading service. The only way to get the volume of the songs to be consistent would be to import them into a Digital Audio Workstation and set their volume to a similar level from there. You can find free software to be able to do this. There might also be programs that can help you normalize the volume of your songs, although if the quality of the file is poor the results might not be great. I hope this helps, and thank you for watching!

KZbin's normalization is limited and ineffective at equalizing the level of people speaking calmly, professional news uploads at -23 dB, and young social media celebrities SHOUTING with breaths edited out at -12 dB. They should make the target level adjustable with the volume slider. I don't get why these big plaforms set in stone. -14 dB is too high for natural dialog without music.

@aileezaga3 жыл бұрын
That's an excellent question! When it comes to music, there is no 'one size fits all' target loudness, but rather a range of what is competitive and how much of the dynamics one is willing to compromise based on genre. Mastering for different streaming platforms is still somewhat in the ball park of KZbin loudness, if you are below threshold by a few dB LUFS that is ok, but I would advise to not go over. So, no louder than -14 LUFS. This other KZbinr made an excellent video about this topic, where he explains in depth. I hope this helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXrMlIZunbCVm7M
