What it is
Voice first, music under it, the room cleaned. Mixed so nobody reaches for the volume.
How we do it
We clean noise and room echo, level the voice phrase by phrase, duck music under speech and mix to −14 LUFS, which is what YouTube plays at.
What you get back
A mix that holds its level from the first word to the end screen, and stems if you ever want to re-cut.
