How do you "UNLINK" the audio tracks?

I have had LOGIC now for about 3 weeks. I am learning tons and enjoying the program overall. I have received some great help from this forum. My latest adventure is creating more audio tracks. I found out recently from this forum that I had the settings in my LOGIC setup. I increased the number of audio tracks that I can use. My current question is, If I need more audio tracks in a project, I click on an audio track and then go to the Track>Create Multiple Tracks menu. I can import as many as I need.
The problem I am having is, when I create the tracks, they are somehow "linked" to whatever track that I clicked on when I choose to create the new tracks. I have tried changing the track and midi channels in the LH side of the arrange window, but when I change one track, the other one changes also. I don't know how to separate them. Is there some way to do that? ALSO>>>> Is there a way to create new audio tracks without having to click on an existing track first?
Thank you for your consideration.

The fastest way I know is to 1)- open the track mixer window, 2) click on the global button - to turn it on, 3) click on track button - to show all available tracks, 4) double click on an unused track, this will put a new track into the arrange window.
Turning off the global button in the mixer window and selecting the parts you want to display (Track, Instruments, MIDI, auxs, busses, etc) will show you the active tracks you have in the arrange window.

How do you extend the audio track on the menu to keep playing?

I am new to using DVD studio Pro 4. I created a menu with a video clip from one of the short films on the DVD. I set it as the asset for the dropzone using the Panes Rectangle Frosted Window 1. The duration of the menu is 30 seconds and then it ends in the last frame of the clip with a still. I have an audio track playing and I want it to continue playing over the still (after the video clip has finished) until someone navigates away from the menu. Any advice on how to do this? Thanks so much!

Unfortunately to do that you would have to edit the clip you want and then have the still at the end actually extend to the end of the audio (so it would really be a still at all but you would create it in Final Cut so it looks like a still - if that makes sense)
Basically the Video and Audio have to be the same length and then the menu loops back. You can't have the visual part of the menu stop at the end as a still and the music continue. You can only fake it so it looks that way

How do I seperate the audio track from the video and save it to a CD in Premiere Elements 13?

How do I seperate the audio track from the video and save it to a CD in Premiere Elements 13?

You can separate the audio track from video and save it to a DVD disc within Premiere Elements but not a CD disc.
To do save to the audio to DVD disc, you do not have to separate linked audio video, just use the export Publish+Share/Computer/Audio and set Presets to the wanted format (AAC, AIFF, MP3, or Windows Waveform (WAV).
You will not see Audio in the choices since it is at the bottom of the list of choices under Publish+Share/Computer/. You will need to use the thin scroll bar to the right of the choices to scroll to it.
If you need information on selective export of Timeline content when dealing with more than just this one file on the Timeline, please let us know. If you are trying to produce a CD for listening in car or CD player elsewhere, please let us know.
Looking forward to learning of your results.
Thank you.

How do you convert the audio from a mpeg4 video file to mp3?

How do you convert the audio from a mpeg4 video file to mp3 format?

Probably the easiest way to do this is to download a free media convertor. Most will be able to convert video into audio files.

"Command-Shift-Drag" the Event clip containing the audio you wish to extract and "pin" it to the slideshow already in the Project window.

How do you match the audio and text with the typer writer effect in Final Cut Pro?

I am making a video and I want to sync up the text with the audio using the typer writer effect. For example I want when the music makes a bing noise I want a letter to pop up. How do you set the exact time for each letter that comes up instead of just choosing the duration.
Thank you!!!!

The most common cause is user error in understanding how these things are recorded in the acquisition system. You've got to first determine in it's easily solved by properly transcoding or if you're actually just seeing a display lag. Mismatched sync is based on different timebase scales so the offset gets worse the longer a clip plays.
The most common solution is to unlink the components, time them precisely to the frame, and change the speed of one component to match precisely the length of the other. It's easy and usually results in a slight pitch change that is indiscernible.
But you want to figure out the cause, not just he solution, so you can fix it in production instead of in post.

Can you freeze the audio tracks in 6.0.3

I have students that are using voice-overs in their projects and every time they move a piece of video all of the audio shifts with the clip. These two pieces - audio and video - were each imported seperately and aligned on the tracks. Is there any way to lock the audio tracks while moving the video?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Tom, and welcome!
Yes, that is very easy: Place the audio clip exactly where you want it, highlight it by clicking on it, go to Advanced menu and click on 'Lock audio clip at playhead'.
Now, if you move or even edit the video clip, the audio clip moves with it.

How do you fix the audio to the tracks who are not responding?

When I try to listen through the song, nothing besides the "Audio Recorder" responds and make sound! So it's like 5min, with only 30sec with music (haha). So the drum machine and the other intsruments, won't respond and doesn't make any sound!
Any Idea how to fix this?
Thanks, Ken-Tore.

Hello KaizerKen69,
I was looking into the issue you are experiencing and found some information that might help get Gargeband back on track. First I recommend backing up your projects with this article: GarageBand for iOS: Backing up your songs found herehttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT4692.
Then use our iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/application/#section_3.
Assuming there are no softwrae updates for the app in the app store, I would sart on section 3:
Close App
If only a single app has stopped responding or closes on launch, try the following:
Return to the Home screen, and then click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the - to close it.
Double-click the Home button and try opening the app again.
Work your way down as necessary.
Cheers,
Sterling

How do you unlink stereo audio files as opt-L did under FCP 7?

Under Final Cut 7, I was able to unlink a stereo file and move the left and right tracks independently forwared and back (manually stereoizing the sound if I wanted to). I see how expand an audio sound and changing panning on left and right, but no way to move the left or right track a few frames independent of the other as in FCP 7. Is there a way to do it?

You mean shifting them out of sync? Change the channel configuration to dual mono and detach the audio.

How do you export separate audio tracks for Pro Tools?

I need to give separate audio tracks to my sound mixer but am confused on how to do so in FCP X.
So far I've:
Set the dialogue roles and stems for each character
Then I went into Master File>Settings
Selected:
"Format: Audio Only"
"Audio File Format: Wav File"
"Roles as: Audio only as separate files"
"Dialogue"
Sara
"Stereo"
And when I export and listen back to the wav file, there is either no audio or I hear select dialogue.
The only thing I can think of that I am doing wrong, is that each characters dialogue is not on the same track like the picture below. The tracks highlighted is of one character's dialogue that I am trying to export onto one linear track to export into Pro Tools.
Can tracks be assigned in FCP X? Or is there a crucial step that I am forgetting tthat explains why the audio for each character is not being exported.
Thanks!

If you're dumping audio for ProTools, you should be able to export XML for use in PT. Haven't done it myself, but the option's been there for a while now. You should be able to find instructions easily.
If you want to stick with making Roles work, I suggest making sure the roles are assigned properly to each clip. Kind of a super pain in the neck, to go one by one, but ... that's the way. There are key commands for the three default roles, but if you've created custom ones then it's more time consuming. Is that 'Sara' one a custom Role that you've created?
My only thought is you have compound audio clips there. Maybe go in and set the roles on the individual files inside the compound clips. Dunno...
The visual organization shouldn't matter (one track above another). That's the X way.
((In your picture, you say you have some files selected. When I select, I get a yellow border; yours are light green and dark green. What is that?))

How do i delay the audio track by half a second

I am editing a music video from source footage that has the music on the audio 1 track linked to video 1 track. The music starts a fraction too early and so I want to delay the start very slightly. Is there a way of doing this . Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,
Yes:
1) Make sure you are in timeline mode, not sceneline mode
2) Right click on the clip in the timeline and select "unlink Audio and video"
3) You can now drag the video and audio independantly on the timeline. To move half a second you will need to zoom in a lot to move it that small of an amount.
4) You will, of course, have "dead air" for 1/2 second at the beginning of the clip however!
Hope that helps!
Bob

How do I get the audio track to stick with the video track?

Whenever I move or cut the video track I want it's audio track to move or cut with it, how do I get them to stay together so I don't have to do double work?
This should be an easy one...Let's see who can answer first.....ready, set, GO!

Sounds like Linked Selection is switched off. Check the button in the upper right of the timeline window. Shift-L will toggle it off and on.

How do you edit the audio files in the slideshow of my idvd project?

I have created a project in idvd and I dragged and dropped in the music files from the audio tab that I wanted - I selected multiple songs (2) and I hear them play just fine. The problem is that I want one song to play for a certain section of the photos and then I want the other song to start at a particular point. Why am I not able to edit the music in the slideshow and how can I do that?

iMovie is a good way to do this if your project is film based. If your using photos (slideshow) in iDVD, I would be inclinded to use GarageBand to edit the audio portion of your project (It may be just me, but whenever I've attempted to create a slideshow in iMovie, the photos look "grainy" to me, not as clear).
If you know the time of when you want your songs to change, you can adjust the length (time) of each song in GarageBand as well as fade in/fade out transition of the two or more songs. After saving, you then can access the saved audio mix via the audio tab in iDVD. (I'm making an assumption that one might be familiar enough with GarageBand to do this

How do you Rearrange Video & Audio Tracks?

I need to know how to arrange the stacking order of them

If you're asking if you can actually move the track so that track 1 appears above track 2, don't think you can do it. You can move the contents of the track pretty easily as mentioned in the other answer.
To add to Nick's post, you can add a track directly above a specific track by control clicking on the patch panel of the appropriate track (I think) and choose add track. And you can move a clip or series of clips directly above or below if the target track is empty in that section by selection it and then option-up (or down).

How do you know the audio level of a keyframes

I'm varying the audio levels of clips on the timeline by creating keyframes using the pen tool. I create four points:
1) -inf = beginning of fade-in
2) -5dB = end of fade-in
3) -5db = beginning of fade-out
4) -inf = end of fade-out
But when I'm going back to adjust points, how do I know what level they're at already without having to drag them away from their home position and then back?
Scrolling over them with the mouse (and not clicking) just gives me a crosshair and no info.
I want to make sure that points 2&3 are at the same level, so I can just move the envelope region between them up and down to change the volume. Any quick way to do this to speed up my process?

Specifically to address this point: if you mouse over the audio levels' rubber band segment BETWEEN your points 2) and 3) until the cursor changes to an up/down adjustment arrow ⬍, and move it up/down, it will adjust BOTH the levels at 2) and 3), maintaining the relative difference between them (or, if points 2) and 3) start at the same level, this adjustment will keep them equal as you drag them both up/down together in one action.)
As usual, much easier to DO it, rather than describe it!
