Editing audio tracks?

everytime time I edit an audio track,
e.g. removing unwanted noise from beginning of a "live" guitar track it shifts, causing that track to be out of sync with previously recorded tracks. what am I doing wrong.
I know why this is happening, what I dont't know is how to prevent and or correct this after the fact

Could be you're doing the edit in the Sample Editor? Regions in the Sample Editor have a start and end, and an anchor point. The anchor point is what Logic uses to snap the region to the bar grid. Often the anchor is at the start point.
If you trim off the beginning of a region, you could be moving the anchor to the new (later) start point, and re-snapping the region to the grid, out of time.
Do the trimming directly in the Arrange window, and you shouldn't have this problem.

  • Export edited audio track in Final Cut Express

    Does anyone know how to export an edited audio track as a mp3 without it being a video file using FCE?

    Use Export>QuickTime Movie and change the export function to audio only. Take that to iTunes and use it to convert to MP3.

  • How to combine multiple edited audio tracks in multicam?

    I have three camera angles each of which has audio.  I would like to combine the audio from all three cameras but the challenge is that I want to edit various points in each audio track separately and synchronized with my cut points from one angle to another.  My plan was to edit the audio  in each of the 3 tracks then detach the audio from each track and recombine  by overlaying them into one audio track.  However I found that I cannot detach audio from tracks within the angle viewer where I've made my audio edits.  Is there a way to do this or is there a work around?

    I found a clumsy work around.  I used Audio Hijack Pro from Rogue Amoeba to capture the audio from FCP X  of all three camera angles.  From the Angle Editor I enabled the audio monitor for each angle and in the Timeline played all three tracks while Audio Hijack Pro recorded the combination of the thee.  This allowed me to capture all of my audio edits from the Angle Editor from each of the three tracks.  I then copied the combined audio file to the multicam project, aligned it with the multicam audio and reduced the multicam audio to essentially zero, leaving only the combined 3-track audio  that I had added. 
    This approach got me through the project but there must be a better way to accomplish this. Any suggestions?

  • Editing audio tracks in Windows/Properties option

    Hello all
    Can someone please tell me whether I can edit an audio track in the windows/properties dialog box? I'm trying to synchronise a sound track with a video/movie and am having a little difficulty getting the various bits of music to start and stop precisely where I want them to. It occurs to me that if you can edit in the windows/properties box, you can fine tune the precise start and stop times (displayed in time/frames).
    Or maybe there is another way to do this (apart from highlighting desired section of movie and then adding an audio track with "add to selection and scale") which someone can tell me about?
    I also wondered whether it is possible to "view" the audio track simultaneously with the video?
    With thanks

    You don't edit tracks from the Movie Properties window. It is for viewing the tracks, adding annotations, applying masks or setting transparency or layers.
    You can "extract" tracks to edit them in this new Player menu. You can play more than one file at a time (View menu / Play all Movies).
    You can "fine tune" making a "selection" (in and out points) by holding down the Shift key as you tap the right/left arrow keys. This may help you synchronize the audio to the video track.
    Using "Add to Selection & Scale" makes (forces) the tracks to have the same duration.

  • Editing audio tracks simultaneously

    I'm spending way too much time editing my video's two audio tracks (A1a, A1b) the same way twice. As an example I want to set keys on my audio to bring down the volume in places and up in other places. What I've been having to do is set keys on track A1a and do the same exact thing on track A1b. I don't want to link the two audio clips together with the video, but only link the two audio tracks together so what ever I do to one audio track will be applied to the other. However, even when I link the video to the audio tracks and adjust the audio level to one track it doesn't set that level on the sister track. I'm assuming this is something pretty simple, but I can't seem figure it out. I can get what I want by doing it twice but as you know time is a commodity.
    Thanks

    You could set the two clips as a Stereo Pair (Option L), or just make the needed changes on one clip, then when you're done,copy it and use Paste Attributes->Levels to the other clip.

  • No sound from edited audio track?

    This may be a very simple fix but I am unable to figure it out. When I add a new audio track in the arrange window and start chopping it up into separate waveforms, when I go to play back the audio I get no sound! I don't recall logic 8 doing this to me a few weeks ago but it just started doing this! Any ideas? Thanks for any input =)

    I have the same problem. When I import the video and then hit the play button (bottom left) I get no audio. If I skim the curser over the film clips, I get audio, but when I hit Play in either window (edited film, unedited film) I get NO audio. Can anyone help??

  • Can't edit audio tracks anymore FLEX EDIT PROBLEM

    Due to year long problems with my Mac, Apple replaced it with a brand new one but it came with the updated Garageband '11 with Flex Time. I currently have a podcast and am over a month behind and because I can't figure out this new audio/flex time edit thing. It appears that I am not the only one on disccussion forums and YouTuve but I need HELP!
    PROBLEM: I can't edit tracks. Flex Time turns on and analyzes over and over and over and over. I can't edit or cut things out. It wants to stretch them out! HELP!
    FLEX TIME is terrible.

  • Context (right click) link to edit audio track with Audition is greyed out in Premiere Pro CS6

    I have reported this previously in the forum and I've seen some other posts on this and was hoping that there is either a solution or workaround for this real workflow issue. I read that this is a known bug inserted with the update to 6.0.1. It is now 6.0.3 and time to fix this bug please.
    Adobe, if you're listening, this is all about workflow. It's disruptive to a workflow situation where deadlines are important and it shouldn't be a difficult programming problem to fix. It worked before. Make it work again. That's not asking a lot from a customer who has been a Premiere user since the 90s.
    Thank you.

    It does work for most.  So we have to find out why it isn't for you.  (Though admittedly, I'm not even sure what questions to ask trying to track down the cause.)

  • Editing and Exporting Audio Track Only

    Is it possible to just edit and export the audio track from a project that contains video and audio? I turned off the video track, and was able to make edits on the audio track but when I export the edited audio track entire unedited audio track is exported.

    That did it. I didn't have the audio timeline material selected as the active window.
    Many thanks.

  • Adding multiple audio tracks to a multicam file

    I am editing a multi cam production- and have 8 different audio tracks- separate from the movie files. I have made a multi cam file but any ideas on how to add all 8 tracks of audio to this multi cam file- then edit- and then question no. 2: how do I then export all edited audio tracks separately for my sound engineer to mix them? Thanks a lot

    Hi Tom- thanks for your response   I´m not quite sure if you get me right... I have made a multicam file- consisting of 4 cameras- and now I want to add 8 audio tracks that are not connected to any of the cameras- but that were recorded seperately- and have all these 8 tracks lying underneath all the camera angles- being synced up with the cameras internal mics- but I want to edit the 8 audio tracks and finally export them. Thanks

  • Replacing an audio track without re-encoding the video

    I'm new to Audition CC so apologies for the basic question. I originally asked this in the Premiere Pro forum but I think it's more an Audition question..  I have AVCHD home video (MTS video with AC3 stereo audio) and have found I can clean up the audio, for example in speeches, very well in Audition. Is there a way to just replace the MTS's orginal audio track without re-encoding the video (which it seems I have to, if I do this via Premiere Pro)? In some cases the videos are poorly lit and any re-encoding makes them look noticeably worse than the original. In any event the video does not need re-encoding, I just need to replace the audio. Maybe I need to export the cleaned-up audio from Audition and use some other program to replace the audio in the original MTS file? Is that called re-muxing?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks Bob and Ryclark.
      Bob, our aim is to copy these videos onto USB sticks, for our family to watch on our various home TVs, from a media player such as WD Home TV, a media PC or a laptop via HDMI cable. I expect the original MTS files, with cleaned up audio, will be fine. Media Info shows these to be video: AVC format, variable bit rate, 16.0 max bit rate, 1920x1080 pixels, 25.000 fps, 8 bit, interlaced; audio: AC3 format, 256 Kbps bit rate, 2 channels, 48.0 KHz sampling rate, 16 bits bit depth. I'm keen to avoid re-encoding the video, and it seems I can. My initial test worked and tonight (I'm in Australia) I'll test further... I can edit the AC3 audio in Audition, export it as a new AC3 with the same format as original, then use some other non-Adobe program to replace the original audio track with the new one, without touching the video.
      Ryclark, I believe you are right. My novice-level understanding is that the process of separating the components of a video file such as my MTS file (video, audio and possibly others) into separate files is 'de-muxing' and putting them back together is re-muxing. Audition can save or export the original or edited audio track of my MTS file to a separate file so I assume that's like a specific audio de-mux. However I don't think Adobe products can re-mux without re-encoding the video (slow, larger resulting file size, worse video quality!), so I need some other program to replace my MTS file's audio with the new/edited audio.
      So far I've found the free-ware Avidemux can do it but past experience is that free-ware can be a bit flaky or over time not as bullet-proof as a good/proven commercial product, so I'll look a bit further - or does someone in this forum know of such a product? HD Video Converter seems to be an option but it looks a bit amateurish.
      By the way, if anyone is after a cut/join program to remove unwanted parts of a video without re-encoding the whole thing (ie. fast, same file size and unchanged video quality) I found Avidemux (free) only works on whole frames (GOP?) and the joins can have a little 'flick', whereas for $40-$50 a program like Fame Ring Smart Cutter for MTS videos (the Sony vidcam home video files I'm interested in) is frame accurate (it only re-encodes around the cut points) and works very well (smooth cut/join points). Smart Cutter doesn't do AVI videos (for my PC screen-recording videos) but I found SolveigMM Video Splitter Home Edition works well with those (not so well with my MTS files).

  • Overwrite edits - audio problems

    Hi
    Everytime I do an overwrite edit onto my timeline sequence I have audio problems. For example the current edit has 4 audio tracks connected to the video, and the new edit only has 2, but when I do an overwrite edit audio tracks 3 and 4 keep the old content. Is there a way around this? Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    I'm afraid there's not a way for 2 tracks to overwrite 4. (funny too, you'd think there was a way) You'll have to lift them out...
    Shouldn't happen a lot to you though if you get your base 2 track audio done before you add any more audio tracks. Such as locking your video and sync audio then add effects or music...

  • How can I use ALL audio tracks in multiclip editing?

    I want to be able to use all audio tracks after the multiclip cut.
    It's only a two camera shoot, but I want to be able to use the ambient room sound from the second camera ... and control its level (in relation to the master audio track on the first camera) AFTER the cuts are made.
    Is this possible in multiclip editing? And how does one go about it?
    Apologies. I've spent an hour or so in the manual, and it isn't clear ... or I'm just not finding the right reference.
    All ears,
    Ben

    Sorry if I'm steering you down a path you don't want to go or even if there's a better way but I wouldn't be ding complex audio mixing anywhere near the multiclip interface. Export your reference movie or nest the multiclip project into another sequence, bring in your additional tracks, get to work. Just my preferences, I put a bunch of rough keyframes in the audio tracks and enter some markers (and make a lot of paper notes). Then I go back using the large mixer window to do the fine tweaking.
    Stick around for a couple of days, some other multiclip users with more experience than I will offer some more useful suggestions.

  • How can i use original audio track in video editing for iPad 2?

    I am struggling to understand how the video editing apps work for iPad 2, and specifically, to understand why all the editing apps I have looked at explain how you can make these terrific video clips by ADDING audio tracks from iTunes, or. From the audio library. I just want to use the original audio on the tape?  Is that so strange? Today I took a video clip of my daughter singing with her guitar. I wanted to shorten the length a bit, so I downloaded a couple of Visio editing apps. When I pulled the clip out of my Camera Roll storage into the video editing screen, there was no sound at all,though there were ways to add other sounds ( for .99cents) most frustrating is that nowhere, does Apple explain this.  The tutorials just show someone editing a video of their friends ( with no sound) And adding text and music, as if it's normal not to include the actual sound that originally accompanied the video clip.  Seems like i wouldn't be the only customer who would prefer to hear my daughters own voice Ina video of her singing, and would like thisexplainedbefore I started downloading editing apps. If it can't be done, couldn't This be posted?

    I am not understanding your question, or your complaint, if it is a complaint.
    I movies takes a video clip, including its audio track. 
    You have the option of mutimg it, or of importing some other sound from your music library, or narrating.  What other option do you want?

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps
