 | Panning is an important function that will take a simple mono sound and add depth to any project, which in turn creates a stereo output. In Premiere this function is called Panner ‘-100’ pans the output of the audio to the left speaker/channel. | |||||||||
 | '100’ pans the output of the audio to the right speaker/channel. | |||||||||
 | ‘0.0’ means the audio is panned equally to both the left and right speakers/channels (aka: dual mono). | |||||||||
 | All audio should be adjusted to average at -12db. This is industry standard. This means that the viewer, at home, does not have to raise and lower the volume on their remote every time a different show or advertisement comes on, by having an industry standard all shows have an equal output level. | |||||||||
 | Distortion is when the audio levels are too high. The red bars at the top of the audio monitoring tool will light up when your audio levels are distorting. It is extremely important that you record your audio levels correctly when filming. Distorted audio cannot be fixed! | |||||||||
| Level (gain) should not to be confused with volume. Level (gain) is the increase/decrease of the amplitude of a given audio signal (sound source). An increase in level (in this this case +6dB) directly translates as an increase in gain. | |||||||||
| A decrease in level (in this this case -20dB) directly translates as a decrease in gain. | |||||||||
 | Volume is the loudness of the sound/speakers - the Volume Control! Raising and/or lower the volume has no affect on the level (gain) of an audio signal. When volume is alternated, the level/gain is not affected – ONLY the apparent loudness of what you are listen to is. | |||||||||
