Changing multiple tracks automated levels simultaneously

Is there a way to proportioanlly change all my tracks automated vol levels proportionally at once. The same way grouping tracks can change levels proportionally except for automated data. I have all this automation on my levels but the whole mix is too loud so I need to bring everything down. How do I achieve this?..there must be some straight forward way to do this

Assign Groups. Then you can move one fader and the rest will follow.
There's another, perhaps more elegant solution: if you have enough headroom, automate the Output Levels (output object's levels). You can group these too.

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?

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.

Is there any way to change user operations on multiple tracks at once?

I have a complex project (99 tracks, dozens of menus and scripts). I need to make one version of this DVD for the end client (teenagers at health clinics) who will be forced to view it in a specified way, and another version for educators (staff at the clinics) who will be allowed to fast-forward and have access to a menu from which they can jump to different points in the DVD.
I have different menus to serve as "first play" for these different versions so that I can easily switch between versions when burning disc images, and I have set up GPRMs to make navigation different for the two versions automatically. My problem now is that I want to disable forward scan, next program, root menu, and title menu for the client version. As far as I can tell, I have to do that independently for every single track and menu. Bleah. This is especially annoying since the DVD is still in development, so I am continuing to change small things and will need to keep both versions up to date as I do.
Is there any way to select multiple tracks/menus and change user operations on all of them? Or any other work-around or script that could do it? I thought this would be a perfect task for the automator, but I'm not very familiar with that application and don't know how (or if it's possible) to create new actions other than the ones that are available.
Any ideas?
thanks!
Julie

Thanks. But the disc inspector only appears to let me change things like where the title menu button takes you, not detailed user operations. I have pretty much given up on this being anything other than a giant hassle, but if anybody knows whether a script could do this, I would be eternally grateful.

Same way you select multipl items anywhere else.
Hold ctrl and click the items you want.
If they are in consecutive order, click the 1st then Shift click the last.

Can I record multiple tracks simultaneously in v. 1.1?

Hey, I found some instructions online about how to record multiple tracks simultaneously in version 3, but I can't figure out how to do it in the old version I have, 1.1. Any help is appreciated. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this feature wasn't implemented later. I have a two-mic setup for podcasts, and need to record both on diff. tracks.

Multi-track recording was added in v2
From STP 2 Manual - New Features:
Multitrack Recording
With Soundtrack Pro 2, you can record across multiple tracks in the Timeline. (This is limited only by your hardware setup.)
So, not available in v1
Have you tried Garageband?

How can I record multiple tracks simultaneously?

How can I record multiple tracks simultaneously? Or rather what hardware do I need to do this? I currently run guitars and mic into a PA and then the PA into Garageband. But this is just one track. I want to record the guitar as one track while simultaneously recording vocals as another track. What hardware do you suggest - keeping it affordable?

if you want to use your two chanel PA, pan 1 channel to the left, and the other to the right, and set one GB track to Mono 1 and the other to mono 2.
if you want better quality, any two channel interface will work:

Best way to fade out multiple tracks at the same level

Is there a best way to fade out multiple tracks at the end of a song? I have read the manual and understand fading "A" track, but not if my song is ending and I want to fade out all tracks equally.
I thought I could export the file as a wav or MP3 (like I would do if I was fading out an Apple loop), then bring it back in and fade the track I import it to, but wanted to know if anyone else had any tips or tricks they use.
Thanks
RH

sigh...don't people search forums anymore?

Moving multiple tracks with volume changes

I'm sure this has been addressed but I can't find it here - I have multiple tracks in Garageband 9. I can move multiple tracks but any volume adjustments do not move with them. Is it possible to move tracks and volume adjustments together? For instance if I shorten the first track how can I move all the other tracks and volume adjustments related to those tracks at once without having to reset every volume curve point?

Controlling Multiple track volumes by moving only one fader???

I have a 4 part harmony, 4 vocals on 4 separate tracks. I have the volume mix of the 4 vox tracks exactly how i want them to sound together. Is there any way to lock them to each other so i can move one fader to change the volume of all 4 in unison? it's getting annoying changing each track by .2db at a time to try and get the right level for the harmony as a whole. thanks in advance.

Similar question, can volume automation of a track be moved in unison with the volume of other tracks in a group? example: 3 vocal tracks in a group, all have volume automation data and all are the perfect levels with regards to one another, but i want to lower the entire vocal mix, having all the automation points for each track change by the same amount. thanks again in advance.
Jim Frazier's suggestion works great for this: route the three tracks to a bus/aux track, and use that fader to adjust the master vocal level. It's also possible to group/select all automation points at once across multiple tracks, but I think you'll find using a fader will be easier for this.

Multi-camera audio with multiple tracks

In Premier Pro 2 I was somehow able to use the automation features to adjust levels throughout my videos on multiple tracks, and that mix would flow through to the multi-camera sequence.
It didn't work in Premier Pro 3.1.1 when I just tried it. I then noticed that the help file says "In order to retain audio from more than one track simultaneously, mix all the desired tracks to a single track in the source sequence, select the resulting audio track, and deselect the Audio Follows Video option."
I opened my old projects in 3.1.1 and the multiple tracks still play in the multi-camera sequence.
1: How was I able to do this before and can I still do it?
2: If I must mix all tracks to a single track in the source sequence, how do I do that? I can't figure that out.

You have two choices, either you can hear the audio for the selected camera, or just audio track 1. You can't hear all audio tracks simultaneously without a little tweaking.
Once you're done with the multicam cut, place another instance in the new sequence on tracks 2. Then delete the video from track 2, and move the audio from track 2 onto track 1. This will allow all audio tracks from the original sequence to be heard.

Get VM Automation Level via PowerCli

Setup:
Fully automated DRS cluster
Virtual Machine options - "Enable individual virtual machine automation levels" checked.
Most of the VMs have default automation level set
Few VMs have Disabled automation level
How can I get List of those Virtual Machines whose Automation Level is set to disabled using PowerCli? Is there any way?
Or is there any way just to get list of all VMs and their automation level using powercli?

NEW RESEARCH. HOPE IT HELPS:
Like many of us I tried valiantly to document the problems I was having then gave up cause I needed to make music and needed to be with my kids, girlfriend etc. I've gone back to hyperdraw, but for those who want to nail this puppy here are my archive notes:
Automation folder was easier to see in 6.4.3 than in 7. The manuals refer to commands that have been changed or moved since writing. Once you get them open again suggest you make a screenset for them. It does import into other songs via import settings once you set the windows up.
I was working on a twenty minute orchestral piece which played back with different levels every darn time. The way I finally solved it was study the pickup bar area of the arrange page (bar 0, bar -1 etc) and in automation event view noiced that I was seeing some phantom events that had a space before them:
I had event data for
"send 1" and then event data for
" send 1"
One of these was phantom. Deleting them made all my automation moves on that track play properly again. I then had to repeat this for every one of my 168 tracks of the piece. Since then I never used bar 0 and set all my arrange page events and folders to bar 1 not bar 0.
This was a year ago. So I cant remember (or no longer care) to open up automation folders or events anymore. But when and if you can see those folders or lists, check this anomoly out. Also check the automation folder occasionally to see that it hasn't lengthened its folder to go before bar 1 cause thats when the anomolies return (for me anyway)
Hope this helps. Good luck iSchwartz. Proud of you man for fighting a battle I gave up on.

Channel Grouping - Adjusting send levels simultaneously

Please help! I can happily select multiple channels (for instance 8 channels of a drum kit) and adjust all fadr levels simultaneously but can somebody please tell me how I may adjust all send levels (to a bus) simultaneously?
An example: I wish to add equal reverb to all parts of a drum kit. I have a bus reverb channel to which all drum channels are sent. Must I adjust each send level seperately to the same amount or can they be grouped.
Thank you

Hi,
If Express features the "grouping" feature for
channel tracks, then you can use it.
(Pro)Manual, page 276, subheading "Groups"
Cheers
Hi and thanks for the reply,
Search as I may it appears Logic Express has no Grouping feature and there is nothing in the Express manual regarding grouping. I guess it's one of the reduced features compared with Pro.
Thanks

Track automation of multi-instrument

dear all,
i have defined a multi-instrument for my access virus,
output is port 1 of my midi-interface (emagic mt4).
everything is ok (in and out of midi data in regions ect.),
but when i try to do some automation of controlers,
the automation data is not transferred to the virus.
also the knobs of the mixer do not move.
if you change to "view track automation" (V command),
you also can adjust the channel from 1-16.
usualy for multi instruments the channels are fixed.
maybe anybody has an idea.
thanks and best regards: martin
ps: using a "regular" instrument (single) makes no
problem at all, the virus gets all controller data as
defined on the automation track...

When using Kontakt as a multitimbral Instr it's better to use the Controller assignments within Kontakt.
Kontakt's definition of how it's setup for automation at the instrument level is different from PLAY, Omnisphere, SampleTank, etc...
I find it easier to setup automation within Logic as a multitrimbral and specifying the number of channels (16 for Kontakt, 9 for Play, 8 for Omnisphere, etc...) and when loading the AU instrument, specify the multiout (16 stereo Kontakt, 9 stereo PLAY, 8 stereo Omnisphere) and automate on the aux outputs of each of the aux channels you create in the mixer window for the channel strip of the instrument in question.
Of course for Kontakt, there's an extra setup you need to do by creating your multi outputs for Kontakt so that Logic can see those, but you can save it as a preset for later use.
If you really need instrument specific automation, it just might be easier to create that instrument as stereo and to "instrument specific" automate knowing that you're just going to affect one loaded instrument.

Record to multiple tracks - no audio

I have a simple, 2-track project that I want to mix into one ("record audio to multiple tracks simultaneously"). I basically just need to ride levels on one track while the other track level stays static.
TK1: music
TK2: dialog
I then arm Tracks 3 and 4 to record and then I hit Record (CMD-R). When the :30 music bed is done playing thru and I listen back to the resulting audio on 3 and 4, I hear nothing.
I suspect there are issues with my settings in the Recording tab which are as follows:
Input: Built-in Input
Stereo
1 and 2 are selected and 3,4,5,6 are grayed out.
Monitor is set to "None"
Why am I not getting my recorded audio?
Thanks for tips!

I'm kind of confused as to what you are trying to do here.
Do you already have the two tracks in STP, and you need a mix of them? If so, you can just automate the levels with volume envelopes, then export the mix. (Make sure that submix 1 is set for stereo (1-2) not surround (1-6).)
If you're not trying to do that, what are you trying to do? When you record the built-in input, that means you are recording something which is connected to the built-in input on your mac. If the source you are trying to record is the software or other software on the mac, you can't do it with STP alone.
Hope this helps!

View Track Automation

Hello,
I recently upgraded to Logic Pro from Logic Express.
In Logic Express "v" was the default key command for "View Track Automation." By default in Logic Pro, it is not. I changed the key command for "View Track Automation" in Logic Pro to "v," however, when I press "v," I only see the track automation on my audio channels load, and not my instrument (MIDI channels). In Logic Express both were displayed simultaneously.
How can I fix this?
Thanks you,
Connor

Is there a way I can disable track automation and then re-enable it?
You can delete all track automation from all tracks, or just some tracks. You can also turn it off, and then back on again, but I don't think that will help in your case, but try it.
If I were to copy the regions to a new file it would take a long time to reload and configure all the instruments (I used sample library plug ins).
It's not that bad - I've had to do this many times.
First, on all your more complicated tracks, use "save channel strip settings" on the individual tracks. Also, use "save settings as" on individual plugins if you need to.
Then relaunch Logic, without core audio (control key - open Logic) and create a brand new template. Add the global settings. Open your existing song, and first drag all the audio files over to the new arrangement, then the instrument tracks. Now go through and choose your previous channel strip, instrument and plugin settings.
A little bit more tweaking, and you're done. I'd suggest saving it as a completely different project folder, choosing the option of copying everything from the old folder to the new.
I hope this helps a little - good luck.
