Love this. On point to add: speech and music may look like they are similar volumes, because of the peaks of the waveforms, but the intro/outro music will often unpleasantly overpower the speech that follows. This is because music is essentially what I call "thicker" than speech. I love that you use Adobe Audition. I used this at our radio studio back when it was 'Cool Edit Pro'. I also have background in PA, sound recording as well as sound technician for radio. Disproportionately loud intros are everywhere, and possibly only people like us can stop them!

Excellent, Kevin! After "edging" into videomaking for years, recently becoming more and more of a student, I've gone through several video editing programs, including Premiere Pro; I've now gotten fed up with their "milk the customer" policies and have migrated to DaVinci Resolve, and was delighted to find this program has a superb feature that automatically syncs an audio file with a video file, and combines them in the project. No more fishing for the exact sync point or waiting forever for auto-sync. It's just two mouse clicks, maybe 3 seconds, and done. Ready to drag the video (with new audio) to the time line.

Entertaining, useful and spot-on. Thank you. This is one of your productions I missed, probably because I didn't know about the bell. let alone click it. You have reminded me to take the H1 and H2 with me to record non-sync ambient noise for possible later use in editing. In the olden days, media was expensive, now it's time that's the real cost. I have a wealth of old footage featuring camera noise, audio auto-gain "hunting" and my off-camera adenoidal breathing. I have a bit of re-mixing to do... I may be a little time... Oh, and one more thing, some of the Chinese "crappy" microphones perform well at an unbelievable fraction of the price of even Rode, Sennheiser and Audio-Technica stuff. Select and reject and return if disappointed. No-quibble returns policies are to be used and enjoyed.
