How do i mute an audio track without deleting it.

how do i mute an audio track without deleting it?

There have been a few recent posts, where Audio Mixer settings are not "held," in PrE 11. Those cited problems seem to be Project-specific, in that Audio Mixer works, as expected, in a new Project - just not the one, causing issues.
I do not know if there is a glitch/Bug in Audio Mixer, or if the users are doing something that is "disconnecting" Audio Mixer in some way.
As a test, create a New Project, Import a Video file with Audio (Muxed Video Stream and Audio Stream), and test Audio Mixer, and the Mute function there. How does Audio Mixer work in that Project? Does the Muting of the Audio "stick?"
Second test: in your existing Project, Select all the Clips on that Audio Track #1, and drag them to Audio Track #2, or another, empty Audio Track, and test the Mute for that new Track, in Audio Mixer. How does that work for you? Does the Mute stick?
Good luck,
Hunt

  • How can I merge 2 audio tracks without deleting any sections?

    I want to merge 2 audio tracks, but when I do that I loose the overlap bit, I want to save everything, just merge them. How do I do that?
    Thanks!

    why do you want to merge them?
    If it's to apply a common fx chain, then send them to a buss, put fx on the buss, send that to another free audio channel and record it, so that you've effective bounced within Logic. Then mute the original tracks so you can change whatever you need to.

  • How do I mute an audio track?

    I need to record a quick VO. There's a "Record Audio" panel in the Window menu that is perfect for this and works well, but it wants to play the existing audio in the timeline when I try to record.
    How do I shut off the audio in the timeline temporarily so that I can record audio without FCP blasting my comps audio into my mic while I record?

    Select all audio clips you would like to mute… Then hit the V-key…
    Or, right-click any audio clip(s)… Disable.

  • How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

    If you have either iMovie 09 or iMovie 11 you can do this easily using the Cutaway feature.
    Go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Now you jut drag and drop the 2nd clip onto hte first clip at the frame where you want the Cutaway to start. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
    Here is a good Tutorial.
    If you have iMovie 08, let me know. There is a way to do it, but it is more complex.

  • How to add an audio track without scaling?

    I have a 3 minute audio track that I want to add to at a beginning of my 4 minute video clip. I "select all" from my audio mov file, I switch to my main video mov file and the insertion head is at the beginning. When I select "Add to movie" my movie file is now 7 minutes long. The picture is frozen at the beginning of the movie for 3 minutes while the audio is playing...
    I tried moving the insertion input and output and used the "add to selection and scale" command, but it distorts the audio file since the audio file is actually a few hundredth of a second longer.
    Is there any way to copy-paste an audio track without scaling?
    What I want in the end is a 4 minute video clip with just the first 3 minutes with my audio track.

  • How do you "UNLINK" the audio tracks?

    I have had LOGIC now for about 3 weeks. I am learning tons and enjoying the program overall. I have received some great help from this forum. My latest adventure is creating more audio tracks. I found out recently from this forum that I had the settings in my LOGIC setup. I increased the number of audio tracks that I can use. My current question is, If I need more audio tracks in a project, I click on an audio track and then go to the Track>Create Multiple Tracks menu. I can import as many as I need.
    The problem I am having is, when I create the tracks, they are somehow "linked" to whatever track that I clicked on when I choose to create the new tracks. I have tried changing the track and midi channels in the LH side of the arrange window, but when I change one track, the other one changes also. I don't know how to separate them. Is there some way to do that? ALSO>>>> Is there a way to create new audio tracks without having to click on an existing track first?
    Thank you for your consideration.

    The fastest way I know is to 1)- open the track mixer window, 2) click on the global button - to turn it on, 3) click on track button - to show all available tracks, 4) double click on an unused track, this will put a new track into the arrange window.
    Turning off the global button in the mixer window and selecting the parts you want to display (Track, Instruments, MIDI, auxs, busses, etc) will show you the active tracks you have in the arrange window.

  • Can't add a new audio track without any settings

    Can anyone tell me were faced with the same problem. Doing audio post production in Logic Pro X, the latest version, the project is big, At some stage the work I was faced with the fact that you can't add a new audio track without any settings, no matter what inserts I track with duplicate settings of one of the tracks and it begins to sound with this track. I don't add a new audio track with duplicate settings. I add a new one, and I still opens the track with some sort of settings. What is it? This is a glitch or I'm somewhere that we have not considered? Duplicates the configuration of one of the tracks collected in group 1, which I did for editing convenience. Duplicates and also automation and if the new track am I doing something then this machine is transferred to the existing track from this group.

    Everything works in full 'Logic Pro X' mode. It's just a glitch in my project. The problem while you decide this: I insert a new track and it reset and set the output.

  • How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted part! What am I doing wrong?

    How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
    What am I doing wrong?

    After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
    What am I doing wrong?
    How exactly are you doing this?
    When I cut out a part of an audio region, then drag the remaining parts together, so they are touching, the track will skip the cut out section when playing the file.  Also, if I select the remaining parts of the region and use the command "Edit > join regions". This will create a new audio file with the cut out part deleted.
    You should see this prompt, when you are joining the regions:

  • How do I seperate the audio track from the video and save it to a CD in Premiere Elements 13?

    How do I seperate the audio track from the video and save it to a CD in Premiere Elements 13?

    Binbashi
    You can separate the audio track from video and save it to a DVD disc within Premiere Elements but not a CD disc.
    To do save to the audio to DVD disc, you do not have to separate linked audio video, just use the export Publish+Share/Computer/Audio and set Presets to the wanted format (AAC, AIFF, MP3, or Windows Waveform (WAV).
    You will not see Audio in the choices since it is at the bottom of the list of choices under Publish+Share/Computer/. You will need to use the thin scroll bar to the right of the choices to scroll to it.
    If you need information on selective export of Timeline content when dealing with more than just this one file on the Timeline, please let us know. If you are trying to produce a CD for listening in car or CD player elsewhere, please let us know.
    Looking forward to learning of your results.
    Thank you.

  • How to not overlap two audio tracks?

    Hi, I use Adobe Premiere and I recently I had a problem with Action! (a video recording program) if you register the microphone and the stereo, Premiere overlaps the two audio and is not making me hear my microphone. I also tried to click the check mark on recording program (split audio tracks) but Premiere not divides. How can I create two audio tracks divided on the same record?

    Are you saying that if you walk up to your Mac, iTunes suddenly opens? 
    At any rate, you should be using two different accounts on the Mac, each of you logging into your respective accounts, if you don't want common syncing.

  • 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).

  • Quantizing Audio Tracks without Strip Silence?

    Hi Y'all,
    I'm kind of a nube, but I cannot figure this out. I've figured out from other folks' posts that the "strip silence" feature is only for Logic Pro (right?). So, that being the case, how do I quantize my audio tracks? For example, a common scenario is I play several bars of 8th notes on my guitar, and, having no rythym, I want to quantize them. Here is what I am doing now:
    1. Cut the audio file with scissors into individual notes
    2. Arrange the anchor point of each individual 8th note to the peak
    3. Quantize them in the Event list.
    This works, but it's super labor intensive, and hard on the old carpal tunnels. Is there an easier way, short of buying Logic Pro? Many thanks. - Josh

    Hi, try to use the "Enhance Timing" Plug-In on the Guitartrack.
    It has to be inserted in the first slot of the channel strip.

  • Can audio tracks be deleted from clips?

    I would like some nice classical music playing behind my first video project. The way it is, all the clips have random voices and ambient sounds that are quite irritating. Can I simply delete the existing audio tracks (without the video being deleted with it) and replace it all with a track of music behind the entire video?
    I see the audio can be turned off, and maybe that is the way to handle it but I'm worried that the bad audio may come back somehow (get unchecked. I just want to know that I am approaching this in the correct way.
    TIA,
    Ken

    Tom, I've jumped into Final Cut Express HD without reading the getting started manual. What you are saying lets me know that I am going about things in the wrong way. I like the timeline because I can visually see the sequence of events and it seems natural to work there. I'll curl up with the getting started manual now that I have it printed out, and see how I am supposed to begin working on a project - doing it the right way.
    Extreme thanks for all of your help. Because of the answers you and others gave to my questions, I was able to put enough together to show that indeed, this software is going to be right for a project we want to do in our company.
    I'll start out by finding out what the patch panel is.

  • How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

    Hey Guys
    I need a bit of help.
    My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
    I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
    How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
    I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
    I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
    I particularly don't want to do this.
    My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.
