Gain vs Volume
There are multiple ways to adjust audio levels in Premiere Pro. Premiere uses the term gain to refer to level in the original file. Volume refers to the level adjustments to a clip or track in a sequence.
Audio Gain
- In the Project panel or Timeline select a clip and go to Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain....
- The Audio Gain dialogue will open. It Displays the clips Peak Amplitude at the bottom of the window and has four options.
- Set Gain to: The gain can be set to a specific value. The value is always updated to the current gain.
- Adjust Gain by: The gain can be adjusted by + or - a specific decibel value.
- Normalize Max Peak to: This raises the max peak of the clip to the value set. For example if the peak is -3dB and it is normalized to -1dB the gain would be adjusted by -2 dB. If multiple clips are selected the clip with the max peak will be adjusted to the set value and all the other clips will be adjusted by the same amount preserving their relative gain differences.
- Normalize All Peaks to: When used with multiple clips, all of the clips will be normalized to the set value.
- Select the desired gain changed and set the value.
- Click OK
