Exported audio sounds different than on timeline

When I am editing the voiceover in Premiere Pro it sounds pretty good, but after I export the video to an mp4 it sounds like I'm speaking in a large empty auditorium. Why does it sound so different than when I am editing it and how do I fix it? If the audio isn't going to sound the same once I export it, the audio editors in Audition and Premiere become useless.

      I today had another issue:

      My De-Noising was active, but it was not exported. I never had this before. After hours of research I set it from strong to weak noise cancelling (it is in german, so I am not sure about the very right names of the settings in englisch) then back to strong noise cancelling. All problems solved.
      Everything was correct, all the time... It simply was not applied and you no way you could see it 😞

      I have the excact same problem but for some reason it only happens when I have headphones in... once I take the headphones out, the premire pro video and the exported video sound the same, but with headphones in they sound sooo different.

      This was the answer for me. It was driving me a little crazy but when I read this post I checked the audio volume level on my VLC player and it was at 70% I clcked the Increase Volume  choice under the audio tab several times and got it to 100%. At this point the volume on the timeline matched the colume on the VLC player of my exported video. Thaks a million.

      How exactly are you listening to the exported file?

      The sound runs through external speakers regardless of what media player I use. Prior to editing and after export I used Cyberlink Power DVD 16 and Microsoft Movies & TV. During editing I used Premiere and Audition. After applying audio effects it sounds good (but not great) until I export the file. I know I'm not going to get great sound because of the recording quality, but what I am interested in is why it sounds so different after I export it. I can't accurately edit an audio file if I have to guess at the way its going to sound.

      Jim, I have looked at the settings for the media player and changed them.

      This seems to have worked to resolve the issue of the difference in sound.

      Thanks.

      Shooternz, the use of the multiband compressor was something I saw on

      YouTube. Is there a better way? It seems to work better than the volume

      control. Thanks.


      For sound ... most of us "here" are somewhat ... not the world's greatest experts? ... we've typically figured out what we need to get our stuff done, and may not have a great deal of expertise past that. Hence some of the comments here, including shooter's.

      There are a few "here" who are quite experienced, and past shooter's recommendation of John Smith, there are several others.

      However ... the Audition forum has really the best brains/experience set available in sound on these forums, most of them also are quite familiar with sound in PrPro as compared to sound in Audition, and can really give good info on what's the better choices for doing certain things from recording to post to delivery.

      Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC

      Look for help from say ryclark, Bob Howes, or SteveG(AudioMasters) ... they've been very good at answering when I've posted over there and used the Jive-forum technique of an @ symbol followed by their user-name. Now ... if they've got a "space" in the typical presentation of the name, like say Bob Howes ... that's probably either an underscore ( _ ) or a hyphen ( - ).

      Given the comments you've made about the troubles you're having, I'll bet there's some advice there on doing things differently that would help you a lot.

      You are preview and editing the audio in the same condition that you recorded it.  An echoing room.  The playback is showing the reality back to you..

      Not a normal thing.

      So how about some information, so all us volunteers out here aren't having to spend a lot of time guessing?

      Basic data on the hardware ... computer, OS/CPU/RAM, and for this your sound gear ... special sound card, system sound, what do you use?

      Next, a screen-grab of the Sequence settings for audio track setup, then grabs of both Audio tab sections of the Preference settings, Audio and Audio Hardware. And also one of the Export dialog box for the export you're creating.

      Ok, I hope this helps. The computer is an MSI Dominator Pro Win10/Core i7/ 32GB RAM/ NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB/Nahimic 2 Sound.
