Audio levels in exported video [Premiere Pro CS6]

The audio level is just what I want in the actual track. However, when I export the video the exported audio is too loud. So I went back and lowered the clip by 3dB...the volume level of exported video still didn't change--it sounds like people are shouting.

This is a new problem...is there a setting in the export dialog box I have accidentally changed?

Thanks in advance.

    This is crazy. Last week my exports for my virtual choirs were fine. Now they sound like mud. Is it something that happened in the update? My BGV sound like they are singing into plastic cups and the instrumental is ridiculously over powering.

    I am also having this problem. Exporting out a final mix of tracks (that play together perfectly without clipping in Premiere Pro) as a lossless .wav at 48kHz and when i reimport back into Premiere Pro the track is much hotter with obvious clipping seen in the waveform (and obviously when i play it). There was nothing set in pre-processing export settings and the track volume is untouched.

    I am stumped as to why PP export amplifies the output. Trying too rack my brain now for a solution as reducing the volume AFTER export is useless because you've now lost audio data AND i don't want remix the whole film again (which took me about week).

    Same issue.  The audio clip sounds great in Premiere and then when I export it's too loud (goes above 0 dbs) and sounds bad.  Other clips in the project are fine.  Have tested to ensure it's not my media player, it's not.  Have spent 10+ hours trying to fix this, got an expert to try and help on Upwork, still couldn't fix it.  If anyone figures this out please let me know!  And I'd love to know the pure solution not a workaround if possible!

    I can't speak to the original poster, but I'm having this problem. I brought my exported media back into Premiere, created a new timeline based on that media. The VU meter is blowing out.

    My exports were in the DNxHD codec, if it matters.

    Did anyone ever sort this out? I'm getting the exact same problem. Audio file comes into Premiere, then I export as ProRes4444 and when I bring it back into Premiere the exported clip is louder than the original.

    Premiere should not be touching the audio levels at all! How are you meant to create master files when there are obviously such major exporting bugs.

    I'm having the opposite problem. My audio was too soft as recorded so I boosted it in Adobe Premier. When I exported, the audio was as if I hadn't boosted it (I had previously exported so I could compare).

    Not clear what needs to be done. Why is exported audio different than how it is in Premier?

    What brought me to this post was this: when I export videos to play on my Samsung tv, I set the volume to about 20 and it sounds extremely loud but still crisp and well mixed, where most broadcast, DVD and BluRay and PS4 games are most comfortable around 60. At a 60 level with my exported videos, it is atrocious. I don't want to blow anybody's speakers out, but is this normal and should I be reducing my volume to something like -12? From an audio engineering perspective, I would have thought that was pretty excessive, squashing the life out of something mixed and mastered at 0, but I want my audio to be more or less in the same ballpark what you'd expect popping in any random commercial  BluRay.

    I really don't know...I would call Adobe direct and ask. My initial problem was caused by another program running concurrent with my export—once I turned it off and upgraded my software, my output was as expected. Hopefully Adobe techs can help!

    Since upgrading [several times since original post] I don't have this problem anymore. Sorry.

    January 4, 2016

    I'm having the same and other audio issues I posted here..    Audio errors with the latest upgrade    I'm surprised to see that it is happening in CS6 as well.

    I am having the same issue in Premiere Pro CC 8.1.  The reference tone comes through at -20db as it should but all the rest of the audio is way higher on the meters when the export is brought back into premiere than it is in the original timeline.

    I have found this to be a problem in CC at one of the places I work.

    Export at 16bit perfect levels with a tone ident...bring it back it into the project and now -3db.

    I tried exporting 32bit float and it comes out 3db higher!

    Only method I have found is to export audio separately to a 32bit file then in a new final video sequence, replace the audio timeline with this file and adjust levels. The new export seems to come out at the right levels

    May have something to do with a bug in the pan law but you can't adjust settings like in Audition.

    Many bugs in this program causing me nightmares....

    ....Can't save track preset effects and have to copy complicated track EQ and compression settings by hand

    ....Track effect settings adjustments that revert as soon as you click away or hit play

    ....Very slow with crashes and freezes in sequences with nested sequences.

    Leave plenty of time for your final exports...you will need it

    I have just started having exactly the same issue when exporting for DVD. No matter what the audio levels are in Premier CS6 (all of mine are capped at -3DB) the exported WAV file is amplified so that EVERYTHING that was at -6DB or higher is driven to 0DB and clipped. I have tried exporting the audio separately but get the same results. If I export to other formats besides DVD, such as mp4, everything is fine. So far the problem seems to be just for DVD exports. I never had this problem before so I am sure it is related to the most recent upgrade. If this post is responded to by a MPV I hope he/she does not take the smug approach that I or the original poster just don't know what I am doing.

    Record some -20 tone in Audition and pass it through a Premiere edit. Re-import the final file into Audition and have a look at the levels. This will give us some idea where the errors are coming from. If you are recording Dolby Digital the dianorm setting can affect some replay levels.

    I will do this as soon as I get some time. In the meantime I went back to my Premiere project and adjusted everything down so that nothing exceed -6DB. It still comes out of the export about 3DB hotter but that keeps it at a non-clipping level.

    I am changing to CC after this project. I will run a test there to see if the problem remains.
