Audio Compression in Premiere Pro - Part 3: Make up Gain
OK. So previously, we looked at threshold and ratio, which are the two most important controls for compression. And now in this video, we're going to have a look at makeup gain. So makeup gain or makeup as it's called in this compressor allows you to add gain to the compressed signal. So when you're actually reducing the gain or compressing the loudest parts of the signal, you're going to be turning down the overall level of the signal. So if makeup gain, you can turn up the level of the signal. So it's similar to the uncompressed signal, obviously, the dynamics will sound different. But when you're working with audio plugins, I recommend having the signal bypassed and un bypassed the same level. That way you can A B the plug in and it will be the same level because if one of them is louder, your brain may think it sounds better just because it's louder. Some compressors have an auto makeup game function. But for this compressor, we have to do it manually. So if we play this back now a...
nd we have a look at how much gain reduction we're getting, this is approximately how much gain, we want to add with this makeup gain dial. It's got an updated user interface and it's much easier to use one thing to note if you have used the EXS 24 in the past, this actually uses the same file type. So you can see there we're getting around 3 to 4 DB of compression. I also recommend you bypass the effect and then turn it on again and then try and level out the signal with the makeup gain type. So you'll be able to open up your old instruments in this new. So you can hear that it is louder. When we turn off this plug in sampler, you can find this instrument, they got rid of the EXS 24 and replaced it with this sampler. It's got an updated user interface and it's much easier to use one thing to note if you have used the EXS 24. In the past, this actually uses the same file. You can also have a look at this level meter on the side file type and try and make sure the level bypassed and un bypassed is about the same level. So you'll be able to open up your old instruments in this new sampler. You can find this instrument, they got rid of the EXS 24 and replaced it with this sampler. It's got an updated user interface and it's much easier to use. So about there 3.2 DB of makeup gain. Now, the bypassed and unbypassed signals are more at a similar level. Ok. So that is makeup gain. And just remember, you will have to manually do this for this compressor. So I recommend having a look at how much game reduction you're getting with this meter then turning on and off the effect. You can also turn the compressor on and off here with this plug in one thing to note if you have used it and then adjusting the makeup gain. So it's about the same level with the compressor enabled or disabled. You can also have a look at this level meter over here and try and get a level about the same. So when you're mixing, it allows you to turn on and turn off these plugins and it will still be at the same level. So in the next video, we're going to continue looking at this compressor and we're going to look at the attack and release styles. See you there.
