Easy way to ensure your videos have same volume level?

[Trina Ashley]

Hello, I use Adobe Premiere Pro (CS 6) for all of my video editing.
I was wondering, what is a good way to make sure that each one of your finished videos has the same relative volume level? In other words, so that when you play any one of your rendered/finalized videos, they all have the same volume level, and one isn't blaring loud while the other is quiet.
I've always just listened to the resulting video and if it "sounded" too loud, I pull the volume down a bit and then re-export. But there has to be a good systematic way of achieving this. My searching has turned up nothing but how to match volume levels of multiple clips INSIDE of the editing software. I'm concerned with matching my volume levels OUTSIDE of the editing software, for the exported/final video.
Thank You!

Use a compressor and decide on a consistent average DB level.

If you're not wanting to use editing software to make sure that your video audio is consistent then simply make sure that your settings don't change. Make sure your mic settings are always the same and volume settings are always the same. Then when you go to edit them they will always be consistent.
