How To Make Great Video, Part 4 | Fixing Common Audio Issues

In the fourth episode of this seven part series, I explain how to fix commonly-encountered audio issues. Do you have recorded dialogue from different speakers with levels all over the place? I'll show you how to use loudness auto-matching to balance dialogue levels across multiple speakers; reduce noise, hum, rumble and sibilance, correct and repair digital distortions and clipped audio, reduce and repair troubling wind-noise recordings, and lastly, the ability to dynamically re-compose any music track to be any length with Audition's REMIX feature. This video was recorded in Summer 2017**.
