Video.s

These videos are made by amateurs. I’m guessing they enjoy the music and don’t realize that not everyone shares their taste or volume.

You are not alone. I don’t mind the music but not BLARING music and not music that makes it hard to understand the speaker. I know it is nice to spice up the video, but for goodness sake, turn the music down when there is talking. And never let it blast out my speakers. Yes, a lot of these amatuers have a hard time with the volume balance – makes me wonder if they have anyone else listen before they post the video.

I agree. I produce videos for my own website as well as for clients such as Rockler, Micro Jig and Infinity Tools.

I rarely include music, and even when I include the machine noises, I turn them down to 30% volume maximum.

Recording the voiceovers takes time and effort, no point in then drowning out all that work.

Thank you!! I hope the video makers read this!

On my computer I have a device called a volume control. Not to be smart but I use it a lot.
