I am stumped

Ah, okay—not a sound guy at all, so just doing rudimentary online searches, but something I found that might be helpful for scale: "Generally speaking, an increase of 10 dB roughly corresponds to the perceived volume doubling in intensity. Thus, 60 dB are perceived as twice as loud as 50 dB." And looking up some sound advice specifically for Youtube videos: "Our recommended levels for publishing audio on YouTube are: Dialogue: -6db to -15db (Most YouTubers tend to stick at -12db max) Overall mix Level: -12db to -20db Music: -18db to -20db Sound Effects: -14db to -20db" And again, you probably know this already (I didn't!) but it seems like decibels and lufs are functionally scaled the same way. That's probably the limit of my usefulness here, maybe someone else will have more insight!

I'm familiar with raising and lowering audio levels with key frames, it's just understanding the equivalent "loudness" between Decibels and Volume that I'm struggling with. Typically I would have my music at like 20 volume when montaging, 10 when talking and my footage would be 300+500% raised in volume.
