Mixing Tip: Reducing the Volume of Person A’s Loud Laughing While Person B Is Still Speaking

Sometimes a person’s loud laughing can be really annoying/disruptive when someone else in the episode is still speaking. Frequently the result is that you can’t even hear/understand the person who is speaking.

In post-production you can remedy this issue by reducing the volume of the loud laughing anywhere from 3-10 dB, or whatever sounds best. The resulting audio will be much better because you’ll still hear the person laughing and simultaneously you’ll be able to understand the words of the person speaking.

Booyah.
