How to get equal loudness along the clip/video

Hello
I've got one hour video from meeting where many people speak with different loudness.
So some parts are quiet, some are loud.
To get equal loudness for all speakers I insert (double) audio loudness keyframes at begining and end of almost each speaker. And adjust volume by moving up or down volume line between the keyframes.
It is labor-intensive way to level each speaker.

Is there a way to equal all speakers in terms of loudness?
Can be done it somehow automatically?
Or at least manually but in more simple and quicker way?

Hello Andrzej -

You could try the free LoudMax Audio VST plugin to equal out your loudness. I found this plugin in my quest for a similar reason.

It is free and it has worked for me, hope it does for you.

for quick and dirty i found this surprisingly useful....

I think the correct answer, is no: you have to actually MIX the material in order for it all to sound at an optimum volume. For that, you need a calibrated room with the speakers at a predictable level (typically 85dB as a reference level for theatrical, and 79dB for TV/web/home video). There is no automatic way to do this -- it requires time and skill.

as usual Marc speaks words of wisdom.

I just wish Resolve supported Mackie Control surfaces for mixing.

As much as I hate loudness equalization through compression, I installed the LoudMax Audio VST plugin and can confirm it's working like a charm....

that seems the equivalent of "autocolor" for audio...

yeah it probably is like autocolor for audio - but reality is some of us will be shooting low budget corporate gigs - especially if its a meeting - and therefore a simple, if not correct/perfect solution is often needed.
