00:00:09,850 --> 00:00:13,460
refreshing 

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,530
in this video . We'll explore how to 

6
00:00:18,530 --> 00:00:20,820
manage audio levels to ensure you 

7
00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:23,470
deliver a clean show . While your 

8
00:00:23,470 --> 00:00:26,150
studio setup may vary slightly , the 

9
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:28,350
core concepts remain the same . 

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,007
Everything we do on air with our board 

11
00:00:31,007 --> 00:00:33,060
is processed into an output . Mixed 

12
00:00:33,060 --> 00:00:35,540
down . Your access to software will 

13
00:00:35,540 --> 00:00:37,660
display your final output audio mix 

14
00:00:37,660 --> 00:00:40,510
down levels in channel one . All your 

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,080
audio elements should have max peaks at 

16
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,730
negative 10 decibels . Your average 

17
00:00:45,730 --> 00:00:47,674
peaks should be around negative 20 

18
00:00:47,674 --> 00:00:49,730
decibels . Don't get too lost in the 

19
00:00:49,730 --> 00:00:51,940
sauce but know that you want your blue 

20
00:00:51,940 --> 00:00:54,330
line around negative 10 and your yellow 

21
00:00:54,330 --> 00:00:57,650
bars around negative 20 decibels . The 

22
00:00:57,650 --> 00:01:00,190
audio levels on any element in flex on 

23
00:01:00,190 --> 00:01:02,357
the mix or coming from your production 

24
00:01:02,357 --> 00:01:04,468
computer are different than the final 

25
00:01:04,468 --> 00:01:06,910
output audio mix down . That's why you 

26
00:01:06,910 --> 00:01:09,490
need to constantly monitor your channel 

27
00:01:09,490 --> 00:01:12,040
one output . This gets even more 

28
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,000
complex when multiple elements 

29
00:01:14,010 --> 00:01:16,970
including voice are live at once . The 

30
00:01:16,970 --> 00:01:19,081
best way to ensure your songs fire at 

31
00:01:19,081 --> 00:01:21,330
the correct level is to properly input 

32
00:01:21,330 --> 00:01:24,600
them into a VR PS . Your song should be 

33
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,030
set up to peak at negative 10 decibels . 

34
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,873
When you're bored , slider is at 

35
00:01:28,873 --> 00:01:31,780
negative 10 . There may be some subtle 

36
00:01:31,780 --> 00:01:34,810
adjusting necessary win live , keep 

37
00:01:34,810 --> 00:01:36,921
your eye on the channel one output to 

38
00:01:36,921 --> 00:01:39,580
monitor your levels . Everyone is 

39
00:01:39,580 --> 00:01:41,730
different to determine where your mic 

40
00:01:41,730 --> 00:01:43,841
pod should be for your voice . You'll 

41
00:01:43,841 --> 00:01:45,786
have to work with your mix , audio 

42
00:01:45,786 --> 00:01:49,220
level placement and vocal projection me 

43
00:01:49,230 --> 00:01:51,452
know that while you're talking on air , 

44
00:01:51,452 --> 00:01:53,674
you have to monitor the audio levels of 

45
00:01:53,674 --> 00:01:55,897
your mic and the element you're talking 

46
00:01:55,897 --> 00:01:58,960
over . When talking over a bed ramp or 

47
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,390
fade , you're now pushing two layers of 

48
00:02:01,390 --> 00:02:03,860
audio into the final mix down output . 

49
00:02:03,870 --> 00:02:06,020
So you need to manage both pods to 

50
00:02:06,020 --> 00:02:08,420
ensure both levels are correct . The 

51
00:02:08,420 --> 00:02:10,270
best way to monitor these levels 

52
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,760
accurately is to wear your headphones 

53
00:02:12,940 --> 00:02:15,051
and set them to a level where you can 

54
00:02:15,051 --> 00:02:17,830
hear the nuances of the audio . Here's 

55
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:21,690
a tip . Often you need your bed ramp or 

56
00:02:21,690 --> 00:02:24,630
fade audio to sound slightly louder 

57
00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:26,790
than what feels comfortable in your 

58
00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:28,734
headphones for your final mix down 

59
00:02:28,734 --> 00:02:31,220
output to be properly leveled . Find 

60
00:02:31,220 --> 00:02:33,220
more on this in the ramps and fades 

61
00:02:33,220 --> 00:02:35,620
module when you have a guest in the 

62
00:02:35,620 --> 00:02:38,050
studio . The same principles apply to 

63
00:02:38,050 --> 00:02:40,800
mike and audio management . Check out 

64
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,022
the guest coaching module for more tips 

65
00:02:43,022 --> 00:02:46,090
on this , good habits . Make a tight 

66
00:02:46,090 --> 00:02:48,490
board . Practice . Makes perfect in no 

67
00:02:48,490 --> 00:02:50,657
time at all . It'll be second nature . 

68
00:02:50,657 --> 00:02:54,560
Have a great show
