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.

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.

Okay, I see. Let me ask a more simple question. If I want to get my audio to be leveled out like it is when I enhance speech, but I want to do it manually to avoid all the extra effects, how would I do so? Or is that not possible, since it's done with AI?


I'm pretty sure that's called "normalizing" the audio, but I'm not sure.
