How I Make Perfect Audio for Youtube
This is how I make perfect audio for my Youtube videos. It won't work for everyone. Most folk will have their own way of doing things. This is just the way I do it; a way that works for me to make perfect audio for Youtube. The sound or audio in a Youtube video will come from any number of areas. There will be general chat to the camera, voiceover, and music, whether full music or background music with voice over the top. There may even be sound effects. When you make a video, you decide what volumes all these sounds should be. You might want the chat voice to be prominent with a little background music, or you might reckon the voice could be a little quieter and the background music should be a bit louder. When you make a video, all these decisions are yours; YOU decide how your video will sound. For a long time I reckoned Youtube was spoiling my videos. The uploaded video just didn't sound the same as my video: music was either too loud or quiet, and vocals were the same. I kept sending feedback to Youtube to put them right: YOU'RE SPOILING MY VIDEOS!' Then I figured it out. I do a lot of waffling in this video. It's not a straight-forward How-to_do video. But if just one person in the whole world gets what I'm trying to put across here, then my job is done. The video editing software that I use is the free version of Da Vinci Resolve, without doubt the best video-editing software out there. I should also say that Youtube has introduced a few audio effects that viewers may choose to use. These are 'STABLE VOLUME' and 'VOICE BOOST'. While there is a place for these options, especially where Youtubers upload videos with poor or low audio, in my opinion the use of these effects totally destroys the balance between voice and music, and I always have them turned off. If you follow the advice in this video, there will be no need whatsoever to turn these effects on. #youtubeaudio #davinciresolve #davinciresolvefree #recordingaudio #cheapmicrophone
