ElevenLabs: Fine-tuning audio levels and timing
ElevenLabsDemo summary
The demonstration shows how to adjust volume levels (dB), apply fades, and nudge clips on the timeline to ensure the sound effect doesn't overpower the ElevenLabs voice.
Step-by-step
- Press play to listen to the section starting a few seconds before the effect.
- Adjust the volume level (dB) down if the effect is too loud or up if it is getting lost.
- Nudge the clip on the timeline to align the effect with the spoken line or visual cue.
- Replay the section multiple times to verify the balance.
- Export the final audio.
Tips
- Make small timing adjustments until the effect lands exactly on cue.
- Ensure the narration remains clear and the effect is audible but not distracting.
- Listen to a few seconds after the effect to ensure a smooth transition.
Highlights
“Replay that section a couple of times until it feels seamless.”
