Track Mixer Balance Bug

It seems there's a new bug introduced with the 7.2.1 update. Changing the Track Mixer's pan/balance setting for a track will cause it to behave as if it's set fully to one side, regardless of the mix setting. For example, a setting of 5 will push all audio to the right channel, leaving the left channel entirely mute. Here's the bug report I submitted for others to copy/paste.
******BUG******
Track Mixer Balance Bug
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Adjust the track mixer balance
Results:
No matter what the Pan/Balance knob is set to, it behaves as if it's set to 100% on that side.
Expected results:
Pan/Balance should mix according to its setting, not be an all-or-nothing function.

Another work around.
If you select the audio master to be 5.1 the joystick panner seems to work as expected. You could then just export as stereo, the fold down from 5.1 to stereo should give you the stereo mix. Make sure the joystick panner dot stays tight to the top of the box.

Unable to perform multi audio tracks mixing with Audio Mixer

How do you get a simple multi track mix with the Premier Pro 1.5 Audio Mixer?
I got 2 audio clips, each sitting at the start of its own separate track (Audio 1 and Audio 2). I just want to mix them into the Master track. Simple enough.
So I go to the Audio Mixer. Position the CTI at the start of the tracks and hit the red RECORD button. The red spot starts blinking. Then I hit the START/STOP button expecting the tracks to start mixing into the Master track. Instead, I get this error message
"PLAYER ERROR: You cannot record without enabling at least one track for recording."
I get the same problem if I try the mix onto a submix track.
What am I missing? I combed through the Premiere Pro User Guide and J. Rosenberg's Premiere Pro Studio Techniques but to no avail.
Thanks for any help.
JB.

Jacques, I havn't seen 1.5 for a while, so I need to stress that what I'm about to say is more of an educated guess linked to a rough memory.
Each audio track in the mixer has a small chip (tickbox in 1.5??) that you click in order to enable that track for recording. In CS3 it's a little microphone.
Having said that, I DON'T think that's going to give you what you want, as the intention of the recording functionality in PP is to record audio FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE (like a microphone) straight to an audio track, say, when doing a Voice Over for some video.
You can't "mix down" to the master, as the master is not a track per se. It's just a "final" level control. The master will always be the sum of the active tracks, and THAT'S what will be rendered in the final output.
You can still "live mix" your audio with the faders, it's just that those movements get recorded as keyframes on each of the tracks you modify (including, BTW, the Master).
The advantage to this workflow is that every fader move you make is infinitley editable... a small error when riding the faders can easily be fixed by dragging keyframes.
HTH.

Can we have the Logic 6 track mixer GUI in Logic Pro 7?

anyone have a clue about this? particularly in the track mixer, something I am (and I'm sure many people are) watching constantly, I find the latest Logic Pro 7 color scheme very dull and often hard to read. Other day I opened up one of my old Logic 6xx apps using an old song of that time, and the color of the track mixer, I found, was much brighter and legible. I'm probably chasing rainbows, but does anyone know any way that we can get this coloring back in Logic Pro 7? many thanks!

People have this problem all the time and every time it's that the app's hame has been changed or it has been moved from the Applications folder. Make sure it's "Logic Pro.app", no extra spaces or characters.

Track Mixer or Environment?

Hi.
Fo mixing and viewing tracks/objects........
I use the environment because i can see loads of objects on one page rather than having to scroll along to them like in the track mixer.
I have one top row of audio objects, then a lower row of instruments, then busses then auxes, then outputs so i just have to scroll down. This is all on one layer so i dont have to change layers to see different objects.
In the mixer its not as quick to use as you have to select what you want to view and then scroll along.
What do you all use and why?
Thanks, Ben

have one top row of audio objects, then a lower row of instruments,
then busses then auxes, then outputs so i just have to scroll down.
I do the same thing - it means I can see virtually everything in my mixer from one window/screenset. I only have two rows though, so everything fits in one window, with extra stuff in a second column off the right, although I rarely use that much - Powerbook is too lightweight for that.
I don't like the track mixer, I like being able to define my own, and I also don't like the "adaptive" settings either, as stuff is moving around when I add/move tracks - with a fixed mixer, I know exactly where everything is - if I stick something on track 12, I instinctively know where the meter is, I don't have to go "channel hunting"....
So environment all the way for me, here...

Can I use pan control in stereo track and balance control in mono track ?

it seems that in logic I can only use pan control in mono track and balance control in stereo track .

This is a flaw from the first days of Logic.
There is a "helper" plug in called "direction ....." - I can't remember the full name. Anyway, it gives you more control over stereo tracks. You can narrow the width (left - right) and pan accordingly.
Hope this helps.

Is there a tracking system for bugs?

Dear All,
Can anyone please recommends a tracking system for bugs to be used for oracle 11i applications. Where can I acquire that software?
Thank you,

Hi Pandian,
Thank you very much for your reply. What is OAM please ? What does OAM stands for? Sorry I am new to Oracle 11i.
I am looking for something that I store all bugs/queries and tier status whether they are fixed/completed or not and by whom ...etc.

No way to save Audio Track Mixer or Audio Plugin Settings?!

Am I stupid, or is there really no way to save my Audio Track Mixer setup, NOR a way to create my own presets for Audio Track Effects???
I spent a lot of time setting up the Track Mixer, with submix tracks, lots of effects on different tracks, etc.
The ONLY way I've found to use this setup again is to duplicate the sequence. Which is a PITA when it's a new project, and I have to dig it up from an old project with the (annoyingly slow) Media Browser ... or create a "template" project.
And what about settings for plugins??? Like the "Mastering" plugin ... the built in presets are pretty useless ... is there no way to copy the settings from one sequence to another? Or create my own presets?

Am I stupid?
Heavens, no.
...is there really no way to save my Audio Track Mixer setup, NOR a way to create my own presets for Audio Track Effects???
Nope.
I do what you do... duplicate Sequences.

No Audio Key Frames Added When Using Track Mixer

Yesterday this worked fine today not.
I edited the video from a live panel at Comic Con. The audio was recoded on a Sound Devices 8 track recorder.
After the picture was edited I added the 6 tracks of audio to do the audio mix using the track mixer as I always do.
I set all tracks to write and lowered all the faders all the way down then as the timeline played I brought up one fader on the presenter and after a few moments I stopped the time line. All channels go to touch I move the scrubber back to before I started to raise the fader and played back, nothing. No audio no fader movement. When I look at the Show Key-frames,Track Key-frames I see no key frames added.
Any one have an idea?
I edited a panel yesterday in the same project different sequence same settings with video and audio recorded the same way it work fine.
Thanks
Dennis
Well I found out how to fix it. Make a new Sequence copy my edited clips into it, add the audio and now it works right.
It looks like the sequence got corrupted so just creating a new one fixed the problem.
I have seen problems with corrupted sequences before but not causing key frame write issues.
Just a side note I also earlier had red frames showing up that usually mean dropped or bad frames but after restarting the program that went away.
By the way this was with CC 2014
I will mark this answered

The in and out points, unless changed, are set for the whole sequence. The automation will not write if this in to out area does not included the mix section. It might be that the in/out area of your first sequence was incorrect but this was fixed when you made the new sequence.

Change Order in Audio Track Mixer

Adobe Premiere Pro CC2014
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1
How do you change the effect order in the Audio Track Mixer?
Drag and Drop does not appear to work.
Thanks in advance.

Ok folks, I guess you can disregard my post... On a whim, I tried using the Built In microphone and Output, and it worked, though the sound is deplorable. Though it identified the Sennheiser USB mic, it appears that must be the problem... odd, since that mic works fine in iMovie, and other applications. Maybe I'll experiment, perhaps it doesn't like the USB extension, and I should plug the Sennheiser directly into the computer.
The Automate to Sequence seems to now be assigning the correct still duration, at least with the small sample of about 6 stills, done in experiment. Will try a larger sequence, shortly, with over a hundred stills, see what happens...
To any members who were working on my problem, thank you.

Am I being stoopid - changing multiple sends in Audio/Track MIxer

Hi
I can set the send bus in multiple tracks by shift clicking and doing it in one channel strip. According to the manual I should also be able to set the send level, pan etc for all selected channel strips simultaneously. When I try this it doesnt work - is there any reason?
best
Tommy Banana

You are right that is what it seems to do. But the manual says:
Audio Objects in the Audio and Track Mixer
Audio Objects are the building blocks of the Audio Mixer, and an important part of the
Track Mixer. In the following section, you will learn about the differences between
Audio Object types and how you can use them.
Multiple Selection of Audio Objects
Logic allows multiple Audio Object faders to be selected (by Shift-clicking) in the Track
Mixer and Audio Mixer. The class (Instrument, Audio, Bus, Aux, and so on) of the
channel doesn’t matter.
To deselect multiple channels, click on any unselected channel. You can also select a
previously unselected track in the Arrange window.
Once selected, all channels behave as a temporary “group”, allowing you to quickly
adjust a number of settings on all selected faders by performing an operation on one
of the grouped faders. To adjust the listed parameters on all selected channels, follow
these instructions:
• Volume: Simply drag the Volume slider on any selected channel. All volume changes
are relative and logarithmic.
• Pan: Drag the Pan knob on any selected channel. All pan changes are relative.
• Mute: Click the Mute button on any selected channel. The Mute buttons of all
selected channels will switch to the new mode.
• Solo: Click the Solo button on any selected channel. The Solo buttons of all selected
channels will switch to the new mode.
• Record Enable: Click the Record enable button on any selected channel. The Record
Enable buttons of all selected channels will switch to the new mode (note that only
channels with different input sources can be record enabled simultaneously).
• Send Level: Drag the Send level knob on any selected channel. All Send level knobs
of the corresponding Send slots change accordingly (relative changes).
• Send Destination: Click-hold on any of the selected channel’s Send slot(s), and make
your selection from the list. The corresponding Send slots of all selected channels will
be routed to the chosen destination.
• Inserts: Click-hold on any of the selected channel’s Insert slot(s), and make your
selection from the list. The selected effect will be inserted into the corresponding
Insert slot on all selected channels.
This I can't do - without using groups.

Track mixer controls grayed out

I have a track (loops) blue color, that the pan knob and volume slider is grayed out and I can make changes on the us. I did do some tweaking in the track info window. Does that knock out the track control onthe track mixer? If so, Can I restore it?

Nokia Music / MIX Radio Bugs and BUGS at Care Cent...

I am feeling absilutely dejected to have bought a Lumia 820.
It has been a year and over but still Nokia has not been able to provide solutions to generic and chronic problems. I have been asking for solution to the music problem since a year but no answer but today at last when i visited nokia care centre (Bohra Communications, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad) IT WAS A COMPLETE LET DOWN ! The guy who received me was a total Noob and illitrate and also all engineers (They didnt even know Amber, Black and whether it can be rolled back or not One guy asked another "Boss can we have Amber in 820 after Reset?. They just did not know anything. I am proud that I have more knowledge about updates and firmwares of my handsets.
My chronic problem was MUSIC ( Duplicating/ Dissappearing / Showing errors etc etc)
My music (downloaded from Nokia music only gets lost, shows errors and moves to other storage folder. I had "Lumia Black" updated OTA.
I bought this lumia for the free music subscription for a year and the person at the service centre said it is wrong. Whatever, but he said that the issue was with subscription. He did not understand that errors "c00d36c4" "player error" etc are not because of subscription but are bugs .....
My phone has been reset (hard reset) for more than 5 times in past month and thats what i do all day. NOKIA IS GREAT !! However just an hour back the Bohra communication care centre again did the same. What the HECK is happening ?
FORGET GETTING SOLUTION, PEOPLE DO NOT EVEN LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND.
I am desparately seeking to throw this NOKIA + MICROSOFT junk away and opt for other.
What did I gain buying a MS Nokia product ? No music since over a year and now additionally after reset the backup also is lost. Last time I did I had to update 23 apps and this time its down to only 8 apps !!!!
God Only Save.
To own a Lumia 820.... U need to have highest levels of Courage !

I am constantly getting the problem you talk about in your second para. I don't experience it if I'm playing Nokia's own Offline selections, but it has been happening constantly over the past few weeks if I use the Create A Mix selections that I have downloaded for offline listening.
Recently both the Offline Mixes and Create A Mix selections reduced themselves suddenly to four or five tracks only in each Mix! Like you, I had to delete everything and download all again. Chews up my data allowance.
Nokia's offline mixes don't appear to download using a free WiFi connection - is that normal? I really have to watch my data allowance. Offline mixes will now expire after 10 days it seems.
Altogether Nokia Mix Radio appears to be full of bugs. I hope their software people are reading...

Problems Exporting multiple tracks / Mix down - Big Probs!

Hi Guys,
I apologise for the large holes in my knowledge in advance.
I have asked a similar question before but I got a screen grab that does not appear in my version of STP (I use Version 2.0 I think, apologies, I am at work so can't be totally sure)
I have created a 30 minute project that goes accross 3 tracks with various bits of cut audio.
If I wan't to create one single MP3 of the whole piece I really struggle. The Option to create 'MP3' is greyed out, and the only option that creates the seems to create the single 'submix' file, is the option to export all tracks, buses and submixes etc.
When I go to open the WAV though it crashes, it also doesn't list a duration (which i think is why it is crashing).
I managed to export it at all using the lowest rates in the export menu but when I open the submix wav, it plays it full mixdown correctly but with about 8 empty tracks(?) in the main edit / playing window (not the session style window with all the tracks, buses etc)
I then can't convert the wav to an Mp3 (perhaps because it is not a standard wav) which means curtains for my podcast at present.
I am so sorry for the drivel that I have just written, If it does make sense I would be so glad if you could help me out.
How best to Mix Down my project?
Many thanks.
Dave.

Hi there,
My bad, the master mix was there, it is at the top but seperate so i must have missed it or thought it was the title of the menu, anyway, thanks for your help on that one.
The surround sound issue still bugs me but I changed the setting in 'Multitrack' and it seemed to work, as for the submix track, i see that at the bottom of the project (along with busses?) and there doesn't appear to be any sound file in there, i'll take another look and see if the settings need changing.
Thanks so much for your help as it was really doing my head in (along with the random crashes and slight movements in levels that I didn't touch)
It's fixed now so thank you very much indeed!!!
Here is the file if you wanna listen to it (shamelss plug), it;s a bit weird.

Backing tracks - mixing in GB

Hi all. I am playing in a duo using backing tracks. We use mostly only the drum & bass tracks for the songs we do, just to try to replicate a 'band' sound. They were all purchased from the same place yet, the volume, bass and general dynamics of the different tracks varies considerably.
What i've done with the tracks up to this point is to create a stereo mp3 using Garageband. i import a click only and then the audio without the click. I then pan the click track left and the music right so that 1 side of the track is click and the other is the 'music'. I then export the mp3 to itunes and create my play lists from there - the backing tracks are all played from my ipad into the pa. Oh yeah, click goes to in ears, music goes to FOH through 2 different channels in the mixer.
The difference is so dramatic that during the gigs i have to adjust the output level to accommodate the different levels of the various tracks.
I believe the issue stems from the varying levels (and quality) of the backing tracks i'm using, so i really need to be able to mix them in GB so they are consistent
So, what i was wondering is how could i go back through all the tracks and adjust the output levels so they are all the same - where am i looking to see what level they are (not just trusting my ear). Can i do it in Garageband. What is the best way to do it. Or maybe it's less about levels and perhaps using a filter or eq to take some bass out, or a compressor or something.
Really looking forward to hearing any tips you can offer.

Do you mean having every one of the tracks sitting in GB together 'side by side' so i can compare . Or do you mean just as i export the individual tracks to itunes.
If i do recognise a track as being louder than the other, what would be the best way to adjust. Should i just create a volume envelope on the track and adjust either up or down. How can i see what dB the track is playing at (this is what i meant about not only trusting my ears) - my point here is that the mix on my computer monitors is way different to hearing the track through my pa, so i was hoping to be as precise as possible.
The way I suggest is using a GarageBand Project more like a mastering Tool.
Lets say you have 5 Songs (5 audio files) you want to prepare for your set
Create 5 Audio Tracks in GarageBandand and drag audio file 1 on Track1, audio file 2 on Track 2, etc
All Tracks are set their Volume at 0dB
Now you play your Project but listen to each Track at a time. You do that with the Solo function
About the Solo button. Clicking on a Solo Button will turn solo that Track and mute all the other Track. The problem is that you have to unsolo one Track and solo the next Track. But there is a hidden Key Command. Hold the option key down while clicking the Solo button. THis will solo that Track and un-solo any other Track.
Now when you listen to the different Songs, lower the Volume on those Songs that sounds too loud compared to the other. You can do the adjustment with the Volume SLider on the Track Header for each Track. I prefer to write it in Automation even if it is only ony one line (it still need two Control Points) to avoid that you move the SLider on the Track Header by accident without noticing it.
I don't go into compressor and limiting because that is a tutorial all by itself.
You are right about the listening environment. That is always an issue when mixing/mastering. There is a thing called "Isophones" or Fletcher-Munson Curves that shows the problem with perceived loudness. The short answer is, listen as loud as possible on good speakers to imitate the PA situation.
You are trusting your ears to judge the loudness but you are right, you have to keep an eye one the meter to judge the level. Unfortunately, GarageBand doesn't provide proper metering but you can use the Limiter in the Master Track Smart Controls.
mitchy_ocker wrote:
Please be careful with your panning. The Pan Control in GarageBand is a balance control not a "real" stereo pan...
I don't quite understand sorry. To create my mp3's, I have imported 2 tracks into GB, a click track, and also imported an audio track, so i have 2 tracks within GB. I then pan the click track left, and the audio right, then export. If i then import that mixed down track into GB i see a stereo track. If i play it through headphones i hear only click left & music right. Is that not stereo - I am new to this if you can't tell.
Here is an example. Let's say you have an old Beatles song were the drums are panned to one side (i.e. left) and the guitars are panned to the other side. If you would bring that stereo audio file into GarageBand and pan it extremely to the right, you would not hear the drums anymore.
You need two stage. If your audio file is stereo, then you have to make it mono first and then pan it to one side. This way, you have the drums and the guitars together. So make sure that the song you import is mono before you do the hard panning or get a Plugin that summs the stereo signal to mono first.
Of course, the song that you mix at the end (click left, song right) is stereo again.
