Basic Q, Routing all the audio tracks to a bus or aux channel strip ?

I'm a little confused on this issue.
I've been doing separate tracks for the sax solos and vocals using the best parts of several tracks with automation. I've been adding the same effect in each track separately and I know this is not good. I'd like to send all the sax tracks to an aux. strip with an effect and all the vocal tracks to another strip with a different effect but I'm just a little confused about it. I see in the Mixer you can add AUX channels but I'm not sure whether to use stereo or mono for this situation ? It seems like I should use stereo because many effects are stereo.

Ok, select all your vocal tracks in your mixer->channels strips turn grey->now in the third box above the Channelstrip fader select the output to be e.g. Bus 1->Logic will automatically route Bus 1 to Aux 1 if you haven't created Busses in your environment before->insert your fx into the Aux->select all your Sax tracks->route them to Bus 2->insert your fx->done
I guess you shift select from the arrange window for multiple selections in the mixer but I just did them one at a time.
In this situation there appears to be no need to use the add AUX button. In the lower of the two I/O slots I selected Bus1 for the Sax and a new Aux1 track was created. For the Vocal I selected Bus2 and a new Aux2 was created.
---Thank you Sampleconstruct . I'm still in the dark but this was a huge help.

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

  • All additional audio tracks in synchronized or compound clips are merged into the mono-mix.

    Hi all.
    I have a video with a stereo track and six separate audio tracks from set. I synced them. If you open the synchronized clip in a separate timeline, all audio tracks are on place and have their names. But if I append it to the storyline and expand audio components, there are only two audio tracks: monomix from the original video with its name and one stereo track named "a1", which is a mix of all additional audio tracks. The same thing happens if I make a compound clip, with a small difference. It forced me to give up the work I wanted to do.

    Multicam works, but it is not very convenient. I can not use Sync-N-Link as I had planned, I get problems with export AAF and DaVinci do not like multicam in XML.
    Channel configuration mirrors two tracks in the storyline, as you can see in the screenshots.

  • HELP! External MIDI is playing EARLY compared to the audio tracks!

    Hi Guys
    I have a project in L9 which has about 12 audio tracks, each running a few effects (fairly basic ones, nothing too heavy).
    Tonight I am recording a rhythm part on an external MIDI device (my Kurzweil synth). I'm quantising this part to 1/8 notes, and in the piano roll editor, it's lining up perfectly after quantization.
    However, when I play back the project, the MIDI is all EARLY!
    I've tried soloing just the MIDI and the click, and the MIDI part runs uniformly early compared to the click track.
    I believe this has something to do with the delay compensation that is in effect across all the audio channels... what's happening is that all the audio content is being delayed so all the tracks sync with each other. But for some reason, MIDI is not part of this delay compensation, and is playing in perfect time, and hence sounding early compared to the audio material.
    I've done a test new project with just one MIDI track, and when quantized, it DOESN'T suffer this problem... ie, it aligns perfectly with the click track.
    Is there any way to get external MIDI instruments to be part of the delay compensation process? Or is there some other solution to this issue?
    Really desperate here as this has come out of the blue and I can't think of any way to solve it!
    Thanks heaps guys,
    Mike

    Is this something new for Logic 9?
    I don't know, I have never used external MIDI with Logic (8 or 9) - but think it is new, yes.
    I wonder if there's a way to set the global default for MIDI so that it always has delay compensation? I can't see why anyone would want to use an external MIDI device and not have it in perfect time with their audio material!
    Yes, there is. You'll have to set it up in AMS first (choose *New Device*, and then configure the device and cable it) In Logic, you'll have to go into the Environment. You need a *Standard Instrument Object* for a monotimbral device, a, *Multi-Instrument Object* for multitimbral devices and a *Mapped Instrument object* for Drummodules. Explanation starts on pg 1082 of the LP9 pdf manual.
    Once it is all setup, you can make a template of it, or you can import the Environment layer into new projects.

  • Can I open a second Source Monitor for the audio track of a video?

    I really dislike having to switch to the audio waveform in the Source Monitor pane when I want to tinker with a clip's audio track. I usually try to stay away from needing to use a panes drop down menu as much as possible. Is there a way to get this in a different window?
    Using CS6

    You cant tinker with the audio track in the Source Monitor. Apart from IN and Out Point setting.
    Normally one would expand the audio track in the time line...zoom in/out to suit and maybe use the tilde shortcut  key to view it all full screen.

  • Urgent help!! In 'export audio to movie' the final option to disable the original audio has disappeared. I am no longer allowed to deselect the audio tracks. Any ideas why Logic has stopped this?

    Greeting all
    I'm creating a movie with a new music track and follow the appropriate steps as in the manual:
    Choose format options for the bounced audio file, and click OK.
    In the dialog that appears, enter a name and target folder for the movie, and click Save.Another dialog opens, allowing you to choose which of the original movie’s audio tracks should be used in the new movie.
    Select the audio track that you want to retain in the new movie, and click OK.
    The QuickTime movie is exported to the selected folder; it contains all selected audio tracks, plus the part of your project that is encompassed by the start and end points of the QuickTime movie.
    However, this final dialog option 'select the audio tracks of movie to keep in new movie' has disappeared!!! For some reason Logic goes straight to bouncing without the offer to remove the original audio. My final movie ends up with both sets of audios. Any ideas please???
    Best
    Juan

    It is still there and Logic did not remove it.
    Did you do some trouble shooting.
    Try to load a different video (with different codec) to see if it is video file related
    Try a new (empty) project to see if it is project related
    Try to remove Logic preferences (move the original back if this wasn't the problem because the file contains other info you might not want to lose)
    Hope that helps

  • 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 to disable the audio track in QT Pro Movie Recording

    I have a device that allows me to record DVI video (1900x1200 uncompressed) into QuickTime Pro through the Movie Recording function. It all works very well except I am trying to record video only (it's the video output of a medical device, so there is no sound). In QT pro preferences, the choices for audio input are "automatic", built-in microphone", or "line-in". I need the choice of "none" (at these files sizes I need all of the CPU's resources working on the video to improve continuity and frame rate). Does anyone know of a script to disable the audio recording portion, or how I might write one? I have never written script before, but that won't stop me from trying to learn how (or rather, launching into a prolonged period of trial and error).
    I am also going to approach this by nagging the video device manufacturer, but they are more Windows- centric (they do support Mac OS X and some Linux platform so all hope is not lost). However, it would be easier if I could have more control over my own destiny, and Mac folk seem to be much more helpful.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help.

    First, thanks for the quick reply.
    Setting the audio option to line-in with nothing plugged in yields the same results. The device (which is essentially a continuous frame grabber) doesn't have any audio feed at all, and I think that is what is confusing QuickTime. The file I record generates one video track and several sequential audio tracks that start at roughly every 4 seconds. The movie info say that these are Big Endian Stereo L&R tracks, and that have virtually no file size to speak of. Audibly there is nothing. However, the constant "start over" with the audio is causing 2-3 second skips in the video. When the video is recording contiguously, the frame rates are on the order of 15 to 20 fps, which at 1900x1200 is fantastic for what I am doing (software training video of a Linux-based medical device; nothing cool like Snapz available for this beast).
    By the way, I have tried Hack TV Carbon, hTV 0.2 and QT Broadcaster, all which will recognize the device as an input source, but not choose it. These would let me deselect the audio input. As mentioned, I am prodding the device manufacturer for help, too, so maybe they will come up with something to address this.
    The other thing is that this device creates a video stream that is transferred by USB2. If it was a Firewire device, I would be all over this with iMovie HD or a HD Video recorder, and just be done with it. Apple may have to come up with some universal driver to accept USB video in since they have dropped FW on some of the new models, but this frame grabber isn't on the list as of now.
    No real solution I can find to convert USB to Firewire.
    Anyway, I am hoping that somehow I could get into the QT script and just disable the audio recording, like the old "save as Un-editable" script would pullout the "save" function of the QuickTime action.
    Of course, dumping the audio tracks after the fact doesn't fix the video; once it's chopped up coming in...
    I suspect that the real answer to this issue lies with the frame grabber manufacturer. But, I am still hopeful that the QuickTime Script writers out there (or the Terminal folks) may have something up their sleeves.
    Thanks for noticin' me.

  • Premiere corrupted the audio track of XDCAM EX

    I am very new to Premiere.  I received a file from a friend who wants me to convert the video to NTSC DV widescreen.  I imported the MP4 file and added it to the timeline.  I was able to convert fine with exception to an aspect ratio issue.  So, I decided to try again.  Much to my surprise I find the audio track is corrupt.  The first part of the track is fine except with occassional pops & cracks, then after about 10 minutes the entire audio track turns to peaked white noise?  I checked the modify date of the source file and sure enough it has changed.  I did not tell Premiere to overwrite anything and thought it woudl not alter source files.  How can this be?  What can I do?
    Thanks.

    Thank you all for your help.  What I ended up doing was create a new project and import the entire BPAV directory.  However, after conforming, there was still one clip's audio track that was corrupt.  So, I decided to create yet another project and inport only the single troubled clip.  After conforming the audio track was still corrupt.  I did look at the audio tracks closely and they were corrupt in the same place.  (eg. the beginning of the track was fine and then suddenly at a set point the track would go bad).  I know it is not a bad file because Sony's player plays it fine.  So, I did some checking and found the "Media Cache Files" folder.  I blew the contents away, recreated another new project and imported the troubled clip.  After conforming I find the audio in Premiere is just fine.  The media cache files were taking up a lot of space but had not nearly filled the drive.  What ever it was I'm glad there is a forum like this to help us new users.
    Thanks again,

  • Is there a waveform monitor for the audio track in premier elements 13?

    trying to fine tune audio,getting hits on the supplied sound tracks.
    thanks
    Dave

    Thanks for the last two replies with details that turned around my approach to your question. It was not until your post 3 when you mentioned Music Scores did I realize that you were referring to Music Scores developed in the concept of being able to adjust their duration without altering music arrangement. You were not referring to non-Music Score music.
    In the case of Premiere Elements Music Scores, I see no way to visualize their waveform in the Premiere Elements audio tracks. Double clicking a Timeline Music Score brings up the Score Properties dialog and not the Preview Window to inspect the waveform.
    When "non Music Score" music is imported into Premiere Elements, it goes through a conforming process which automatically generates the cfa (audio) file and pek (waveform in audio track) file. And, these files are characterized by a waveform visible on the audio track with the appropriate audio display format. For each audio conformed, there are two files generated by the program, cfa (audio) and pek (related to waveform seen in the audio track).
    When you drag a Music Score to the Premiere Elements 13 soundtrack, first you see "Generating" and "Conforming" and then Score Property dialog .When all is said and done, the Music Score is in the audio track with no waveform. If you go looking in the Media Cache Folder to determine if a cfa and pek set exist there after use of one Music Score (Drama in this example), you should find that the Drama conforming process generated 71, not 2 files, representing cfa and pek sets.
    With regard to hard drive space...1 non Music Score file's conformed audio files might be expected to take up about 68.2 MB while one Music Score file's conformed audio files might
    be expected to take up 263 MB.
    Please take a look at what you have in the way of conformed audio in the Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit path
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Common
    Media Cache Files Folder
    At this time I do not know the explanation for the absence of waveform in the Music Score representation on the Timeline audio track. Need to do more homework on that.
    Please let me know if you confirm my observations above.
    Thank you.

  • Difficulty lining up cuts at precise spots in the audio track

    Hello,
    (I guess this turned into just a rant because I think "it just works that way" is really the only answer but if someone has any suggestions, I'm all ears)
    I'm trying to use iMovie 11 to build a music video. I have my audio track and I'm adding clips to it that I want to position at precise spots in the music - beats, key changes, words, etc.
    (First rant; I can't stand that the audio track is only as long as the amount of clips you have. I want to play the song past my last clip to help decide what clip I want to put in next - argh!!! I have to put dummy clips in the movie to make the audio play past where I'm working - insane)
    Anyway, trying to line up cuts with certain spots in the audio is proving to be very frustrating. Yes, I know about beat markers but even if I put in beat markers, I can't figure out what to line up with them. Is it the trailing edge of the first clip or the leading edge of the next clip. The fact that there are gaps between the clips makes it impossible to tell where the cuts really are. It just doesn't make sense to me. Obviously, the audio and video is continuous, so what is happening in the gap? Where is the cut?
    The other thing that makes it difficult is that the timeline stretches depending on the duration of a clip that is sitting on it. It seems like they do this so that they can have thumbnails that are always at least a certain size. When the duration of a clip gets short, they have to stretch the timeline because it has to be as long as the thumbnail picture. This distorts the waveform and again makes it hard to find known shapes. I can't understand this logic. The timeline should be the same scale all the way across.
    The Precision Editor seems to have a mind of it's own. If I line up the cursor with a beat marker and click the clip gets trimmed way before the beat marker would indicate.
    I guess I just don't get it. Does anyone else have these problems???
    (end of rant)

    Thanks for the reply,
    What I mean about the space between clips is, on the timeline, there are visual gaps between clips. I know there aren't actual gaps in the video but visually, the clip thumbnails are separated by a gap. The audio waveform however, is displayed as continuous below the clipthumbnails. So the question is, where is the actual cut relative to the audio. Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
    Those clips actually meet somewhere in relation to the audio. Where? Does the second clip start right at that rise in the wave form (just left of the beat marker) or does it start further left, right after the end of the first clip where the audio falls down? It seems like there should be a corresponding gap in the display of the audio and then it would be clear where the clips line up in relation to the audio. No?
    On the length of the thumbnails thing, I know about the slider but regardless of the scale, the thumbnail pictures never get below a certain width. So, if you've got really short clips - like still frames that I want to flash in time with a quick beat - since the thumbnails don't get very narrow, iMovie has to stretch the audio waveform that runs beneath the thumbnail so that it matches the length of time of the clip. You can see this happening if you watch the timeline during playback. The playhead will be moving along smoothly but when it gets to the short clips, it will zip along much faster across those clips (because they are actually stretched relative to real-time), and then slow back down again when it gets to longer clips. The fundamental issue in my mind is that the playhead should not change speed during playback. It distorts the whole timeline and makes time comparisions of different clips nearly impossible.

  • Media Encoder isn't rendering all my audio tracks?

    I've been using Media Encoder to render my Adobe Premiere sequences and up until yesterday, I never had a problem with it. Out of nowhere, it won't render more than 2 audio tracks. The audio plays fine in the timeline preview in Adobe Premiere, but when I render it, some of my audio is missing! I have no idea what could be causing something like this!
    I'm rendering in h.264 at Youtube 1080p 29.97 settings. I've done this for all of my previous videos and haven't had a single problem having 3+ audio tracks until the last two videos I've done

    Sometimes a project can be weird/corrupted and do strange things. Then you need to outsmart the computer. For example, try an audio-only export. Create a .wav file and import back into project, and if all tracks are properly represented in that mix, add .wav to timeline, mute all other audio tracks, and do your final AV export using that new audio.
    Thanks

  • Losing the audio track when moving a clip from the browser to the timeline

    Today we were trying to add two clips from the browser in Final Cut Express HD to the timeline that was created yesterday. The problem is, the clips we were adding today are not moving with the audio tracks. All other clips from when we created the movie are fine but the two we added today have no sound. The audio works when viewing the clip in "viewer" but not once it is moved to the timeline. Any thoughts?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Look at the left side of the time line, there is a device (the patch panel) to set the current video and audio target tracks. (little V1 and a1 a2 icons). Swith them to desired tracks to select the target audio tracks (that's where the video and audio-or just one of them-will be inserted in timeline upon editing). There is also a contextual menu (control click) with reset panel command.
