CS6 Audio Mixer Track Keyframes not Generated

Hi:  I am using CS6.  I have several audio tracks and started mixing audio using the audio mixer in write mode.  I got a few of the tracks done and it works fine.  I came back today to do the rest and I can't for the life of me get it to write the keyframes.  I have tried both "write" and "touch" methods, but no luck.  I tried adding a new track and no luck.  I tried adding a new sequence and then it works, but for some reason I can't add more keyframes to my primary sequence.  This ever happened to anyone else?  I found a couple indications that it has happened to people but no solutions were offered other than to make sure it is set to "write".  I am aware that this method generates track keyframes and not clip keyframes.  When I chose to see track keyframes, it shows the ones I made yesterday, but is not generating new ones today.  Please help!

Try:
Set up a new sequence and copy all the clips / media into it from the original sequence.
It maybe that the original sequence has recorded a mixer move in Audio 1.

  • Audio mixing (track not clip) .Precise level entry for KF levels?

    Ive done a lot of tutorials on setting and mixing audio levels, both clip and track in PrP 5.5 . I want to know the best way to add a keyframe on the timeline (in track audio mode) and enter a precise db setting. Dragging up and down is pretty random and not accurate, especially when setting levels for 2 mono tracks for stereo.
    I am not interested in using the track mixer in live mode because again it is to inaccurate and needs cleaning up. I tried right clicking on the keyframes and got everything EXCEPT the ability for numeric entry. A real basic function for audio mixing.

    Well, upon further inspections its the CLIP volume key frames that are displayed in the Audio Effects area. When you are trying to do TRACK key frames on the timeline, its necessary to click on the SHOW KEY FRAMES icon at the start of the TL audio track. When you switch to SHOW TRACK  KEY FRAMES suddenly the clip cannot be loaded in the SOURCE window (which kind of makes sense) and so the TRACK key frames are not visible for numeric entry.
    So the problem with no ability for numeric entry assigning key frames a db still exists.

  • Audio Mixer Window Does Not Appear

    I have been using Premiere Elements for years in various versions (current project in V8, just downloaded V9 trial. Tonight I went to use the Audio Mixer function and found that when I click on Audio Mixer in the dropdown menu it does not appear. I then downloaded the V9 trial and have the same issue.
    Its hard to believe that I have not tried to do audio mixer functions in V8. But the last time I used the audio mixer in Premiere Elements it was accessed with a small button and worked find. Perhaps that was version 7. I have no memory of when I upgraded from 7 to 8.
    Help! Why will the audio mixer window not appear?

    I tried to access the Mixer from both the drop down menu below the right side panel and top of the interface on 8.0. Then I loaded 9.0. Same test same result first time around.
    Then I read your note and tried both places again and the top of the interface worked in 9.0!  Now both locations work in both versions. Weird.
    Thanks very much for the response.

  • M-Audio Fast Track Ultra - not getting any input!

    I have been using M-Audio Fast Track Ultra to do some basic recording in GarageBand '09. I've never had a problem, but today i cannot get an audio signal to input from a mic or instrument. It seems that GarageBand is automatically setting the track recording level to zero and is greying it out. i can no longer control it. The audio OUTPUT works fine and i can use the fast track to monitor, but there is not input. btw, i tried using the built in audio on the MacBook and it works fine. is this a setting issue with Fast Track somehow? can anyone help trouble shoot this issue for me? Thanks!

    Yup, tripped across that one a while ago.
    I just gave up on the track approach. Doing it as a clip approach is way easier. I just make the key frame, go the the audio effects window and enter the db level. Done. I did however put in a feature request to be able to right click on any key frame and enter a numeric that way. Im not sure how many other folks are going to request it, but I sure loved and needed that function in FCP and Avid.

  • Video & Audio Linked Tracks Will Not Modify Together - FCP 6

    I have a weird phenomenon w/FCP 6. When attempting to modify the length of video and audio clips that are linked (even Slug from the Generators area). I can only 2 either the audio or video, not both. Is there a setting which I need to modify? I would prefer to do this rather than re-install the whole thing. Thanks.

    Clips that are linked have their names as undelined text in the timeline.
    Clips that are not linked haven't.
    So Check if they are linked. If not. Select and use Command L to Link.
    AFTER that. Linked Selection can be switched on and off.
    When Link is on. Then clicking on a Videoclip selects Video AND audio.
    When Link is off. Then clicking on a videoclio selects video ONLY and NOT it's Linked Audio.
    To toggle Linked Selection On and Off use SHIFT L.
    edit: oh, almost forgot. ALT clicking on a clip toggles temporaraly (as long as the ALT is being pressed). This way you can also easily trim edges that are linked, while linked selection is on. ALT click and drag on the cut then only trims the track (audio OR video) that you selected.
    Probably you are aware of this all. I just want to make sure...

  • Is there a way to remove/smooth unnecessary keyframe created with the Audio Mixer write keyframe feature

    In After Effects,  there is a smoother tool (panel)  which removes a lot of in-between keyframes you don't need.  Is there a similar tool (script) in Premiere?  It would make it a lot easier to make point adjustments if you could get rid of the 20 extra keyframes made with the write keyframe.

    No, there's not a way to do that, but it's a good feature request. You can submit feature requests here:

  • Audio mixer - suddenly volumes are not adjusted

    Hi. PE4. I used the audio mixer in a few project without hassles. In this specific project, I edited the volume levels using the audio mixer successfully. Now I want to make changes to the audio volume but suddenly the audio mixer does not update the audio volume at all. What can I do to get this sorted? Thanks.

    Robert,
    Bear with me on this, as I use P-Pro most of the time, so what I am about to type might not apply to PE.
    On the Audio Track, one needs to set the view to display Track Keyframes. From the Audio Mixer, when hitting the Spacebar (Play) and adjusting the Pot for that Track's Audio, Keyframes are added. In Pro's Audio Mixer, these Keyframes (Track Keyframes, not Clip Keyframes) are only added, when I change the Send to Touch or Write. PE's Audio Mixer does not seem to have Sends. It also appears that the Audio Mixer needs to stay open, though you can make it small and tuck it away. My test of it indicated that when you Close it, the Keyframes disappear. (Can someone correct me here?) I would *guess* that if one did a Save, or Save_As at this point, the Audio Track Keyframes would be Saved. This last step is not necessary for me in Pro, as the Audio Mixer is always open and is just tabbed to another Panel, so it's never in my way. I will experiment with Pro and see what happens if I close the Audio Mixer. It might work the same as in PE, but I have not tried that, since I never close mine.
    One additional note: in Pro, you can set the Keyframe interval for Track Keyframes. I'd guess that you can in PE too - probably from the Preferences Menu. Potting with the Audio Mixer can generate a lot of Keyframes, depending on the interval set. These can be moved around, just like Clip Keyframes, but you'll want to zoom in on that Track to see what you're doing - both horizontal and vertical zoom.

    [Edit] In Pro, when you close the Audio Mixer, the Track Keyframes remain.

  • Recording with M-Audio Fast Track  USB Audio Interface

    New Mac owner and am completely lost. I am wanting to record guitar and vocal tracks into GB and when I plugged in the M-Audio I could see a wave file when after I hit the record button but I couldn't hear anything. I selected it as the default for input and output and turned the monitor on...but am getting zero sound. HELP!

    I actually just picked one up and this is what the process is...
    I must reiterate the first line... Do not install any of the packaged software as it does not help, or do anything beneficial... just use Garageband.
    This is to record a plug in guitar.
    IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LOAD ANY DISCS THAT COME WITH THE DEVICE
    1. Connect M-Audio Fast Track USB to appropriate USB port on computer.
    ex. MacBook Pro - use forward port (port furthest away from display)
    Also, see note 2 for M-Audio knowledge base, support etc...
    2. Open System Preferences and:
    -Select M-Audio Fast Track USB icon
    -Select "About" button and note Audio Firmware version
    -Select "Updates" to open M-Audio web site
    -Select: USB Audio Series<Fast Track USB< MAC OS 10.5.7 (or appropriate operating system)
    -Note version number of latest drive and download if
    necessary to update your M-Audio
    - Select "Sound" in Hardware row of System Preferences
    -Select "Input" button and select M-Audio Fast Track USB
    - No need to change "Output" regardless of how you want to listen to playback!
    3. Connect guitar to M-Audio box (a pre-amp will boost output, but is not necessary)
    - Make sure button on rear of M-Audio box is selected properly for guitar
    4. Open Garage Band (Do Not open Garage Band prior to connecting M-Audio)
    - Select New Project - Electric Guitar
    5. Open Garage Band Preferences
    - Select "Audio/MIDI" button
    -Audio Output select:
    - "Built-in Output" to use computer's speaker or headphones/speakers connected directly to computer OR
    - "M-Audio Fast Track USB" to listen to headphones/speakers
    connected directly to M-Audio box (use Mix knob and Output knob on front of M-Audio box to control ouput if choosing this set-up)
    -Audio Input select:
    -"M-Audio Fast track USB"
    6. Choose an Amp model in Garage Band
    - Double-click picture of amp (this displays rear picture of amp and access to settings)
    -Select: Input Source : Mono2(M-Audio Fast Track USB) NOT MONO 1!
    of if using Mic and guitar : Stereo2 (M-Audio Fast Track USB)
    7. Record
    This saved me from throwing the thing out the window... It works well now!

  • Grayed audio timeline track

    What does it mean when the light gray overlay appears over portions of an audio timeline track? Not the heavily dimmed "disabled" mode, nor the crosshatched "lock". Playback not affected and I've been unable to find an explanation in the manual. I'd appreciate knowing what it indicates and how to get rid of it (if I need to). Thanks.

    Sorry, but I can't do the screenshot at the moment, Tom. It's just a light gray over portions of the audio track, as if one had overlayed a translucent frosted piece of plastic over the normally saturated color of the track bars. It appears over certain audio cuts, which have no other distinctions that I'm aware of, being all of the same source, with portions edited out. It's not the heavily dimmed disable mode, I checked that. I'm getting ready to export, so I'm concerned whether this is worth being concerned about.
    I'll be offline till tomorrow. Hope you can answer this from my description, but if not, I'll try to email (?) a screenshot. Thank you.

  • "Audio Mix" volume settings premiere elements 10 not "sticking"

    The "Audio Mix" volume settings that I set after adding a soundtrack to video in premiere elements 10 have stopped working and are no longer "sticky". I am running premiere elements on a Macbook pro with about 100GB free disc space and 8MB RAM. The volume settings adjusted using "Audio Mix" would previously "stick" as adjusted. I have not altered anything in how I adjust the volumes but "Audio Mix" has suddenly stopped functioning.  Both the soundtrack and main captured audio track maintain full volume despite adjustment. I have tried to restart the computer and reload the program to no avail.

    Correct.
    I used to be able to adjust the volume with the Audio Mixer "on the fly" with the video playing and it would stay adjusted (as depicted in the tutorials). This no longer happens. The Mixer used to generate keyframes automatically. It no longer appears to generate keyframes and the volume remains at baseline for all the tracks.
    I have not tried to manually set the volume level by dragging it and creating audio keyframes on it yet. I will try this but the videos are long with multiple fade ins and fade outs and this would likely be too laborious to accomplish.

  • CS6 - how do I adjust audio level part way through a clip using audio mixer?

    Hi there - I'm using the trial version of CS6 and will almost certainly buy it. I've watched lots of the video tutorials but am stumped on this simple issue!
    1. Let's say I have a clip and I want to increase the audio level part way through a clip.
    2. In Example A below I have added a keyframe at the point I want to change the volume.
    3. I then went to the audio mixer and increased the volume level using the slider. But nothing changed on the clip.
    4. The only way I could get it to work was to add more key frames after the first one (see Example B) and increase the volume on the timeline.
    5. This is very fiddly and I'd prefer to be able to do this using the audio mixer. Is this possible?
    Example A                                                                                                              Example B

    With the proper Send settings (Write, Touch, etc., as Craig mentions), you can easily ride the Volume in real-time. I like to add a Numbered Marker to where I want the adjustment to begin, hold, and then end, so that I have several visual clues, besides the aural ones.
    I also have found that the default setting for Audio>Minimal Time Thinning Interval places too many Keyframes on the Track, so I have bumped that up in Preferences.
    Also remember, the Keyframes added with Audio Mixer are Track Keyframes, and not Clip Keyframes. If you were to remove all Clips, those Keyframes would still be there, and would affect any Clips that you added back.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • 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.

  • How To Track Audio Level by Keyframe Numerically

    Hi,
    I want to change the track volume from time A to time B by submitting numeric values for track volume at time A and B, and let Premiere alter the track volume accordingly when playing back. Basically, how do I update the value of the keyframe numerically ? How is this done ?
    When I place the time cursor in timeline and adjust the track volume in audio mixer and then hit the add-keyframe rhomb at the track head, then it creates a new keyframe, but not with the value of the track volume in the audio-mixer. Unless it was the very first keyframe i've created.
    I do not want to alter volume keyframes by dragging, that is not working precise enough to even come close to the targeted volume setting.
    I also do not want to record live track-slider changes in the Audio-Mixer.
    At http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7f35a .html i saw "Adjust track volume with keyframes", but wasn't able to find any " ... Track > Volume from the drop-down menu at the head of the clip in the audio track", seems that corresponds to clip volume again and not to track volume.

    Well, you may not be happy with my answer, but it is the only way I know of to enter the level by typing a number.
    If you set the Track Mixer for that particular track to "Write" and enter the number you want, let's say -6 dB, then you press the play button on the timeline, when you stop the playback, the keyframes will have been set to that level. You can left and right arrow to get the job done also.
    You may find that you will want to move the keyframes around after doing that, and you have to be careful not to overwrite the other keyframes, but it does work.
