Auto-match audio loudness

Last updated on Aug 22, 2025

Learn how to auto-match audio loudness in Adobe Premiere Pro to create consistent volume levels across clips for a balanced and professional sound mix.

The Auto-Match feature in the Essential Sound panel ensures a consistent volume level across different audio clips. This helps prevent loudness jumps and creates a more even listening experience.

To apply consistent loudness levels across clips, do the following:

Select an audio clip in the timeline and select Window > Essential Sound. Make sure you have automatically tagged the audio type.

In the Essential Sound panel, expand the Loudness tab.

Select Auto-Match.
