Audio Levels on different tracks-How do I adjust them

I have a series of inteviews on my edirol which come across fine into ST. I've moved into production and have recorded some fixes and patches to complete the interview. These were done directly into ST using a mic. This is where the problem occurs, I can't seem to find where to adjust the audio levels for the new tracks I recorded. Having read through the ST doco, its brevity is to be admired. Help, any help appreciated.
I'm new to the sound field, currently studying journalism and audio is part of the brief.
regards, Wayne

Hi WayneAu,
1- In the audio tracks section, click the 'envelopes disclosure triangle'
2- In the 'volume envelope' portion of the track (it looks purple) double-click on the dark line. This adds a keyframe.
By clicking and dragging a keyframe you can adjust the volume for specific portions of the track, perform fade-ups or fade-downs, etc,.
I hope this helps.
In Solidarity,
Alain

Hi, with mix16 pro app, can anyone tell me when you set different audio levels for different tracks, does the app remember the level set the next time you use it? Or does it default to the original setting when you power down after a show? Thanks!

Hi
I use backing tracks for some songs with a live band and we are having some issues with levels. Some are higher than others etc. I use i pad to run the tracks. I am looking for an app that where I can control the levels better. Ideally, an app where I can set the level of each track to a desired level and leave it at that level for good. Mix16 Pro seems to do that but I wonder does it save the setting as I do not want to set the levels every time I use it.
Thanks

I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly: File>Transfer Purchases , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

You should have purchased an external hard drive and backed up your entire system and important data before bringing it into an Apple Store to gave them do what you had them do.
If you had any important data, like photos, personal videos, important documents, large music library, etc and had lost all of this by having Apple "clean out" your Mac, without a backup of this data, you would have lost everything on your Mac that was important to you.

Adjusting Audio Levels Of Two Tracks

How do you adjust the audio level's of different tracks. I have a video and for parts I want the background music (two channel stereo) to play and for other parts I want to hear the audio from the video (two channel stero). Also, for some parts I want to hear a mix of the two tracks.
From previous experience the audio from music is a lot louder than the audio from my video camera thus, I will need to adjust the volume of the music track (make quieter) or the audio of my video track (make louder) to obtain a consistent audio level for the whole movie.
Any help is much appreciated!

Changing audio levels?
At the bottom left of the Timeline is a button with a ZigZag line. This is called the Overlays, it puts lines over the clips in the Timeline that can be adjusted, they represent the audio levels or video opacity in the case of video tracks.
With the lines visible, Click the Pen Tool (P key) and the cursor changes to a Pen Nib. Click the red line in the audio tracks to insert Key Frames (pink dots).
You can drag them up and down to change volume. Put in at least two to change levels from one point to the other, they can be dragged left or right as well, to lengthen a fade, for example.

Balancing audio levels for multiple tracks in PP CS6 ...

I have a relatively long home movie (1:50) with clips from multiple cameras dispersed throughout.   One of the camera's audio is far lower than the rest.    What is the easiest/fastest way for a consumer editor to get a reasonable result? Doesn't have to be perfect, but eliminating the need to hold the TV volume button is the goal.   I'm guessing some of you out there have dealt with this issue a few times and can give me a boost.
I've seen some tutorial videos on using the Audio Mixer, but that appears to adjust volume for an entire track.   I suppose an option here is to manually move all of the quieter clips' audio tracks to a different track number and then use the mixer to adjust.   Trial and error I assume to get it right.
Another video I found shows balancing by pulling up clips one by one into Soundbooth and then processing them together. I don't own Soundbooth unless it ships with CS6 and I didn't know to install it. I like the concept though - some way to normalize (if the right term) the volume, although certainly I want some variance so that when someone is shouting or screaming the volume is still higher.
Other videos show adjustments to the volume level by dragging the little yellow volume line on a clip by clip basis inside the track display.   Easy enough, but if I end up deciding I want to make further adjustments I have to go back through all the clips again.   I suppose one advantage here is that those quieter clips sometimes run in batches so could use key frames.
Feedback?

Just closing the loop here ...
I ended up doing the separate track and audio mixer volume adjustment with some individual clip gain tweaks.   Turns out one of my cameras was quiet and another loud, so I used three audio tracks in my movie, one for footage from each camera (luckily the two offenders were more limited).   The nice thing about this approach is that adjustments are easy to make across the board.
On the 6db volume gain, turns out that was enough. Maybe someone has some input here, but I find that watching video on my TV with my surround sound system the volume levels are way more sensitive than my PC.   Ok, not 100% - there were a couple of clips where I upped the gain as well.
The gain adjustment and looking at the waveform diagram is very useful for getting an idea of what level of adjustment is required.   So I did make use of this feature to get feedback on how to adjust the volume level noted above.
If I was really serious, I would have done a bunch of marking key frames and adjusting the volume within the clips.   One of my cameras is really loud when the person filming speaks but the other subjects are much softer. But I took an 80/20 approach and the movie is a little loud in some spots and a little soft in others, but not so much that I have to adjust the volume button. It would be tedious to edit all the footage in this way.   Although I did make use of the key frames for some background music.
Needles: I was looking for a consumer level solution, although admittedly didn't investigate what you suggested.

Crossfade audio on two different tracks...

Is this possible? It must be. I have audio and sound effects on several tracks at occasionally want to cross fade them> Can't figure it ou! Thanks.

Well suppose I have a music track that I want to fade out gradually as some music comes in on one of the audio/video connected tracks.
Not sure if you understand exactly what "crossfade" means. But the control you're looking for is not going to found in using crossfades. It's in setting level keyframes, as suggested, using the pen tool.

How can I put a crossfade between tracks on different levels? Thanks!
Ah. You are using the term "level" to refer to the vertical position of the stacked tracks, Confused me.
Option-click on the audio track and you can adjust it separately from the video track. This isn't as intuitive as you might think and it can get frustrating. If you want perfectly independent control over the audio, unlink the tracks. Be careful that you don not shift the audio horizontally, unsyncing it. When you're done making your adjustments, relink the tracks.

Audio Levels Are Different within program

For some reason when I am editing a multi-track project I seem to get three different levels as I go along. When I am editing a single file the levels come out as one thing. When I get the levels good, usually around -4 or so I play them back on the multi-track editor and I'm well up and over 0 into the red. On top of that when I import back into the Final Cut all the levels are completely different wiht some being low and some behing higher than in Soundtrack Pro. All level adjustments made in Final Cut were cleared out so any project I bring in doesn't have any level variations.
Thanks!!

Also, in the sequence the Edit in Audition option is greyed out? I can't round trip and work through the clips individually? Is there something I need to switch on or something?

Quick (floating) Audio level control gone. How do I reenable it?

I have no idea how, but suddenly the floating Quick Audio control is gone (that normally hovers above your track for quickly raising/lowering audio). I've looked all over on how to reenable it.
I've checked under 'Window', I've checked in settings, I've spent 15 minutes googling it and can't find any solution but I'm assuming it's something simple that's right in front of me.
I found an image online and took a snapshot of what it is incase I'm getting the name wrong

In View menu Show HUD (Head Up Display) or Shift + U keyboard shortcut. There is also a setting in Preferences/General for "Show HUD for selection ranges only" if you only want it to show when you have selected some audio in the Waveform view.

Adjust audio level in one track only and see it on the meter

Hi,
I have two audio tracks. They are not a stereo pair. If I adjust a1 and then play the clip while watching the levels in the meter, BOTH levels are now going up. What do I have to do so the that a1 actually shows higher levels than a2 and in my headphones, one side will sound louder than the other.
The clip is from a Sony EX1. On channel 1 I had a shotgun mic and and channel 2 I had a lav mic. I want to listen to them separately and see which on sounds best.
Thanks,
Tom

I should add for clarification that when I move one level (red line), the red line on the other track is not moving. They are only the same on the meter. It is as if the two tracks are being mixed into one.

ITunes forgets tracks - how can i identify them?

I've just realized that iTunes has forgotten a number of music tracks!
It is, of course, easy to add them again to iTunes.
But the big question is: how can I identify all the tracks that satisfy the following two conditions:
1. they are not in iTunes, and
2. the files are in a subfolder of, say, ~/Music/Klassik?
Any hints, ideas, suggestions will be highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Gabriel.

This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.

When I have two audio clips next to eachother, how do i 'dissolve' them so its a smooth transition from one to the next?

I have a few clips besides eachother.. levels are up and down, but i want to do an 'audio dissolve' per se, or fade from one audio clip into the other.. to make it smooth.. how do i do this? thanks

One might think that you could simply drop a transition effect on to two connected audio clips to fade from one to the next. In fact, that's what the menu seems to imply:
But you can not. No transition effects can be attached to Connected Clips. The menu lies!
There are however several ways to do accomplish the transition.
You can overlap them and drag the fade gadgets like this:
Another way is to transform the audio clips to a secondary Storyline (command-g). This will allow you to use transitions.

When importing a cd it splits the album into separate individual tracks instead of 1 album with numerouse tracks - how do I get them all together

When I import a CD from the Apple Mac drive it splits the cd into numerous single tracks in itunes instead of 1 album with all the tracks. How can I get it to import to the one place. I did try importing the same cd on a friends apple mac to see if it did the same thing and it imported the cd as 1 album with all tracks in there so I can't understand why it's separating them all.

This happens mostly when you import a compilation or a CD that is not noted in the Gracenote Database.
How to change back in one Album:
Mark all titles of that album (shift or cmd click)
Right click and choose "Get info"
Fill in the wanted name in "Album" and "Album Artist*"
Drag&Drop the wanted Album Art to the little window down right in that pane.
iTunes group and sort albums by that two entry's in the info pane. If the CD is not listed in the database but the titels, iTunes split the album to fit the titles to eventually matching albums of the artists.
Cheers - Lupunus
* If you import a compilation, choose "various artits" for the Album Artist field.
