Can my AI set audio levels?

Short answer

Yes. Your AI can set clip levels in decibels, draw fades and volume changes, and add audio effects like EQ, compression, and limiting. On macOS 27 or newer, it can measure loudness and match a target like −16 LUFS.

What your AI can do

  • Set a clip’s level, or each channel’s level, in dB
  • Draw fades, dips, and volume changes with keyframes
  • Add Premiere Pro’s audio effects, like Parametric EQ, Dynamics, Hard Limiter, Adaptive Noise Reduction, a de-esser, and reverbs, plus third-party plugins Premiere Pro lists, with settings in real units like dB, Hz, and ms
  • Measure loudness and set levels to hit a target without going over a peak limit

Try asking

  • “Fade the music out over the last three seconds.”
  • “Lower the music by 12 dB whenever someone is talking.”
  • “Level all the interview clips to −16 LUFS without going over −1 dB peak.”
  • “Match the levels of all the interview clips.”
