Audio levels are up every time I upload a video

[jadeweb3]

Hi guys! Everytime I upload footage to my timeline I notice the audio gain for all my clips are up a bit - any reason why? How can I normalize this so it's just regular levels?

Thank you!

Right clikc on clip > Gain or use the ESP.

Lingo: you do not upload a clip to the timeline: you drop. Ingest, insert, overwrite a clip in the timeline.

Compared to what?

If you for example play back the footage in a software player such as VLC they often have a normalizer applied by default so audio becomes louder that it actually is.
