Hey guys. I made a video for my YouTube channel and came across an issue. I recorded an excellent commentary but noticed that certain parts of the video were too loud and some too quiet. I'm still somewhat new to Premiere Pro. I'm wondering what is the best way to level out audio. I'm trying to achieve a satisfying sound similar to what you hear on a podcast. I have a pretty decent mic as well.

The most efficient way to level out audio in Premiere Pro is by using Match Loudness in the Essential Sound panel. This tool allows you to quickly and easily achieve consistent audio levels across your clips.

I randomly clicked the "Enhance Speech" button, and it did everything I wanted it to do, for the most part. I don't see a way, however, to edit the changes it has made. I did notice a slight loss of clarity that I'm trying to get back. As far as the "Match Loudness" goes, I see that it has brought the waveforms up, but it looks like that's all it has done. I don't see any leveling like I did when I used the "Enhance Speech" effect.

Enhanced speech:


Also, am I supposed to be able to see the left and right audio waveforms? Or is that something I accidentally enabled? Should it just be one?
