Mastering Audio Levels in Descript: A Comprehensive Guide (Tutorial for Beginners)

👉 Get Descript: https://cotovan.com/descript

I break down the essentials of managing audio levels in Descript for your video podcast. I explain how to utilize Descript’s automatic volume leveling feature, set to minus 16 dB by default, and how to customize these settings for individual projects.

I guide you through ensuring consistent audio levels across different tracks, such as speech and music, and share my personal tips for exporting at the optimal minus 16 LUFS for platforms like YouTube and Spotify.
