Advanced Audio Mixing Settings

Our advanced audio mixing settings, powered by Auphonic, give you the control to adjust your post-production mixed files. These settings add more control of the processed file when using the Mix Audio feature, and can be adjusted or reset to default if needed.

Advanced feature

We recommend that most users keep their settings to the default. These controls are here for those familiar with audio processing techniques. Our Support is limited when troubleshooting mixed files with custom settings.

How to adjust advanced audio mixing settings

Audio mixing settings are controlled through your Show settings:

  1. Select your profile picture in the top right corner of the Dashboard, then select Shows.
  2. Select the Vertical ellipses icon.png Ellipsis button to the right of the Show, then select Edit Show.
  3. Under the Mix Audio with Auphonic section, expand the Individual and Master sections to reveal the advanced audio mixing settings that you can adjust.

Individual

These are the individual settings for the files being mixed. These settings are set before the files are mixed.

  • Hip Filter - Classifies the lowest wanted signal (male or female speech, bass in music, etc.) and adaptively filters unnecessary or disturbing low frequencies in each audio segment. Learn More
  • DeNoise - Uses Auphonic's Noise Reduction Algorithms to remove broadband background noise and hiss in audio files with slowly varying backgrounds. Learn More

Master

These settings are for the final mastered track after the files are mixed together.

  • Loudness Target - Uses Auphonic's Global Loudness Normalization Algorithms to calculate the loudness of your audio and apply a constant gain to reach a defined target level in LUFS so that multiple processed files have the same average loudness. This setting can be adjusted to a minimum of -31 and a maximum of -8. Learn More
  • Leveler - Uses Auphonic's Adaptive Leveler to correct level differences between speakers, music, and speech and applies dynamic range compression to achieve a balanced overall loudness. In contrast to Auphonic's Global Loudness Normalization Algorithms, which correct loudness differences between files, the Adaptive Leveler corrects loudness differences between segments in one file.

  • Gate - Uses Auphonic's Adaptive Noise Gate to ensure that when audio is recorded from multiple microphones and all signals are mixed, the noise of all tracks will add up as well. The Adaptive Noise Gate decreases the volume of segments where a speaker is inactive but does not change segments where a speaker is active. Learn More
  • Crossgate - Uses Auphonic's Crossgate Crosstalk to ensure when recording multiple people with multiple microphones in one room, the voice of speaker one will also be recorded in the microphone of speaker 2. This Crosstalk / Spill produces a reverb or echo-like effect in the final audio mixdown.
    If you try to correct that using a Noise Gate / Expander, it is very difficult to set the correct parameters because the crosstalk might be very loud. Learn More
