Wow, great video! I never even realized that you had to pay attention to frequency and always just lowered the music volume, :D. Thanks for sharing!

Man every time I watch videos like this I sit and think how do you have enough time to edit this thoroughly.........

saw a specialist talking about this idea on a video the other day, took a little while to find someone explaining this so thankyou

My dude, thank you so much! A simple trick that such an impact on audio quality! You're very straight to the point, just got a new subscriber.

As someone new to production, the opening of this video had me rolling. This had been my general experience until finding this vid! Much appreciated!

I was trying to find something like this to make my voice better against background music. This is just perfect. Thank you for this Tutorial James :)

Thanks. To the point and easy to follow

Epic! Thanks for taking the time to create this tutorial James. Just used it on some client work! - Callum

finally a video that gets to the point right away!

That's so simple and genius. Damn

Nailed this one. Exactly what I needed help with!

Dude you saved my ass. I know this is 4 years later but I hope you see this- I have a video on my channel with BG audio from about 4 generations of video games- getting the 8-bit in the background to sound good with the Sega CD stuff, vs. PC vs. SNES, then you have the game audio itself- of all the tips for dealing with audio this is the only one to actually fix it. Thank you!

Excellent video - straight to the point - thank you so much

Thank you so much for sharing knowledge!!!

This is amazing. Feels like reallly good knowledge to know! Thanks

Amazing, super helpful! Thanks James

This helped me out immensely! Thank you very much.

Thank you James. That was really helpful in my videos.

Oh shit, this actually worked. Thanks for the tutorial bro!!

Don't use Adobe Premiere, yet, but wow that makes so much of a difference.

awesome, thank you

That was great and interesting how well it works to notch out a frequency for a voice to sit within background music. .

Thanks for this vid!

hey, you win....... LOVED the intro!

Great tip, thanks !!!

Wow, this vastly improved my current project. Thanks a lot James!

GAME CHANGER OSSS Thank you!

GAME CHANGER DUDE! THANK YOU

It looks like it's all bouncing to me. I don't understand :( 2:30

Thank You 😍

Thanks!

faaaaantastic worked!!!!=

Thank you for this Video brother. Jah Bless

thank you!

Thanks alot

Thank You

Good luck bro with your videos

thank you broii.

My latest video, the first one I've done with music behind my voice, suffered terribly from this problem - I will be using this technique for sure in the next one. Thank you for such a clear procedure and good explanation!

that s a good video

thank you s o much

I really need to leave a comment! :) When you explained and showed the process, my first thought was: I am using this already. Got that from Gerald. And funny enough, that you give him credit at the end of the video :) What I really want to point out is: I like your video more!!! Because: - I learned from you, that the the simple equalizer is just a different version of the normal equalizer and how to find the right hz number!! - I am sure, that Gerald also explained it in his video, but yours is shorter and more on point! So my verdict: I watched multiple videos from you now and I really, really like your short and compact version :) Since there are so many videos about video editing, its really relaxing not to be overwhelmed with informations :) :) :) Thanks a lot!

Great tutorial. To my ears, the music was still a tad too loud. Maybe drop to -22?

thank you sir

How can you do this on only one part of a clip ? Thank you

TOP NOTCH 😊

the intro really sent me lmao

Dude tganks

very interesting

I don't understand the equaliser part, what exactly am i looking for?

This was so helpfull😢

This is great for me to know. I am getting into voice over work and I'm trying to navigate. Anyone in the comments know any good downloads for a Mac Air. Let me know. Have the best day everyone.

useful....

That imtro did hook me in the video

omg! this is so advance! 🤪

goat

How to do this on garageband?

How to do this in Vegas Pro?

not working please tell another method for doing in this adobe premire pro 2023 version

How come you have glasses on and still not so much reflection of the lights..Nice!

@0:46 Is HILARIOUSSS

No one has ever made a video about how to make the voice of the speaker louder than the background music. NOTE: the background music and the voice of the speaker is in one audio file. So thevideo was recorded inside a ballroom dance floor. So the music there is so loud. I can't hear the vlogger. I need to make her voice louder. HELP PLEASE! They are not separated. So I would really love if someone can help me with reducing the BG music and making the speaker voice louder.

Some intro 😁

there's gotta be an easier way. B/c how did you know then number to take out?

loosing the quality of the music when doing this so, is their a way to fix it?

Why does dialogue require a musical accompaniment in the first place?

2:32 how did you know it's at 1500?

RIP for people watching with earbuds! Awesome video tho!

still think the background is still to high, a real bad level between the two, Im a radio DJ, & simply edit the background track & my voice track in audition & you can add a little more depth to your own voice, basically the same if i am live in the studio fading music up & down, you leave the fader for yoru voice at the perfect point, & interject fading up the music when you pause slightly, you need music thats not too dramatic more of a level no real peaks, that you speak over, you need to project yor voice more, or dont use backgroubd music. ive never had to do more than pick the right background music & edit the levels & dont talk if there is a peak in a backing track, you need rises & fall in your voice with a second or two break, with the music coming through, to give some interest in your commentary, listen to any good radio presenter. Basically it all needs to flow & add interest to yoru listeners with as i say with light & shade, like a good song, but interesting video will be following :-)

What if the music is in the same track as the voice?

The best idea would be to remove the c****y stock music from the platform.

Uuyioo

It should be noted that this is a particularly extreme and unrealistic example that serves more to demonstrates the "problem" and the "solution" than anything. The result is still awful and nauseating to listen to. In practice it should never come to such a constellation of dissimilars where you need to carve a gaping hole into a well-arranged, well-balanced piece of music with a bright and poppy mood just to make some subdued voice-over audible in the first place. If you find yourself at such a crowbar marriage, perhaps you should rather think about finding matching pieces so that musical mood and vocal tone *complement, not compete* with, each other.

Very helpful tutorial! But is there a way to automate this method to work only when voice track is playing?? So music track going back to full frequencies when no voice. I'm guessing you need to use Audition for it

"I'm James Archer, and I talk about video stuff." Literally made me laugh out loud spewing bits of my crescent roll all over my keyboard... Instant thumbs down.
