How do you control the volume of multiple audio tracks

Hi
I have about eight tracks of audio in my Finalcut timeline. When played, sometimes the music track will be much louder than the narration track or the FXs track will be louder than the all tracks.
How do I lower or raise the volume of tracks so that the track that needs to heard is heard.
I dont want to do an all out mix yet. I'm just building tracks
Thanks

Select all of your audio, go to the Modify > Audio > Apply Audio Normalization. It will bring all clips in each track to be the same level. Then, later, you can do your final mix much easier.
Or go to Window > Arrange > Audio Mixing and you'll have an on-screen mixing board to work with. There's a speaker icon in the top right, green keyframing is on while you mix in realtime during playback, gray, keyframing is off.
But use the first method first, for sure. Open the audio mixer after that, you'll save yourself a ton of work and time.

How do you control the volume to the earphones?

How do you control the volume to the earphones?

Apple Support Communities updatesActually I knew that part of it, but I had to go to Settings to correct something. They are working now that I fixed something that I have no recollection that I altered in the first place, nor do I now know what in heaven’s name I fixed this time. All I know is that I must have gone to setting a million and one times and the last time was the one I did something right.
Thank you for your help however.

                                With the volume up and down keys unless you purchase a set with a volume control connected to the chord.

How do you change the volume for multiple clips in one go?

Hi all,
Im having some trouble with audio. Im posting this in a rush so sorry in advance if its a bit muddled! Im editing snow reports with a journo piece to camera (track one lapel microphone) with overlay (track two nat sound ).
1. is there a way to only bring in track one only and track two only from the source monitor?
2. Is it possible to adjust the volume on multiple clips that are on the timeline (so that i can bring down the nat sound for all of the overlay track two)
At the moment im bringing them into the timeline and adjusting them individually. I tried lowering the volume on one clip and saving it as a preset but it wont let me.
your help is greatly appreciated
Paul

Duplicate the audio once editing is done. In the Mixer window, apply the Fill Left effect to one audio track, and the Fill Right effect to the other. Then adjust the mixer appropriately.

How do i reduce the volume of a audio track

ok you probably thought this was stupid, the title doesn't really explain the problem. So i recorded a video game gameplay and the game and voice audio are different, like on xbox you can adjust each, so voice is louder than game and vice versa. The problem is the game audio volume (lets say) is too high, and you can barely hear the voice. I don't know if its possible to do but can i lower the higher volumed game and increase the low volumed voice. i am using audition cs6

If they are overlayed then there isn't realy anything you can do. If they aren't overlaid then you can use various tools in Audition to match the volumes better. Is the game audio in stereo or mono? And is the voice in the centre if the two are mixed together as a stereo track?

How can I increase the volume on an audio track imported from a GarageBand project, beyond the 11

I have an audio track, mp3, originally recorded in GarageBand, but with an recording level set too low. I've now adjusted the volume in the audio track to the max, but during playback it's still rather quiet. I have to turn the volume on my Mac to the max to have it at an acceptable playback level. Is the any why to increase the volume on that track any further?

There is not now, nor has there ever been a version of flash for any iOS device.
Adobe has abandoned mobile flash, so there never will be.
Browsers like iswifter or photon may work for you, but don't hold your breath.
Check app store for an app of whatever game you want.

How do you set the duration for multiple stills in iMovie 2013?

How do you set the duration for multiple stills in iMovie 2013?
Before upgrading to the latest version of iMovie last month, I was able to set the duation of all of the stills included in an iMovie project at one time by clicking the apply to all still box in the adjustment pop up. That option is no longer apparent. If it is available I cannot find it, and I have tried several different ways to accomplish it. I have tried the iMovie help section and can find nothing to help.
Apple, do I really have to adjust close to 500 pictures to a 5 second duration individually???
REALLY??!!

...why wouldnt people want that level of accuracy when animating, especially when working to music at a specific duration?
Because often people are animating to words or beats in the music. Music is rarely performed with a computer-precise beat and tempo. Musicians aren't robots: they swing the beat sometimes. They use rubato. They change tempo. They change time signatures. As a result, you have to FIND those words and beats. It's not a situation where you can say, "There! I've found the duration of one beat! Now it's easy to find the rest of them!"
If you try it, you will be very disappointed.
Try finding the precise end of a piece of music that fades or ends on a big chord with a ring-out. You'll see that it's trial-and-error: what's the point where it becomes inaudible? It depends on how high your speakers are turned up. You might have them way up, you set an end point for the layer, and then you do a RAM Preview at a more reasonable volume. You might say, "Hey! The music ends before the layer ends!"... but you KNOW you set the layer's out point when the audio file goes silent.
AE has layer markers that can be used on an audio layer to mark beats, words, etc. They come in very handy.
I guess it comes down to this: because AE can do so much different stuff, there are very few automated procedures. Oh, Adobe tries with effects that convert audio levels to keyframes, but they're not 100% reliable... especially on something like a capella choral works. For true accuracy, you need find the timings yourself.
If you want something simpler, try a different application. But be prepared for lower level of accuracy.

How do I control the volume so all my songs are the same loudness

On my older IPOD, one song plays soft, then the next is too loud. How can I control the volume so they are all the same loudness?

See the playback section (more specifically the Sound Check option) of this Apple support document for a possible suggestion.

How do you add the motion path of a tracking point to a separate clone stamp?

How do you add the motion path of a tracking point to a clone stamp without the clone stamp assuming the same initial/continuous positions of the tracking point?
Is there a way to keep the clone stamp's initial position and then add the path onto it?
I am using the clone stamp to remove unwanted duct tape that was used to keep lights on a wall.

I have spent two days trying to find a solution to this exact same problem. I have seen some overly complex solutions that probably work but trying to figure out the explanations is like trying to understand someone describe drag coefficients of rotary wing aircraft. While I am sure they work, they are way above my comprehension. I wanted an intuitive and straight forward solution for something that shouldn't require some arcane technique to fix.
What I did:
1) I used the Clone Stamp tool to paint over the spot on the wall I wanted to remove.
2) picked a more easily discernible point of reference for Tracking. In my case, I used a poster on the wall.
3) As per the instructions here, https://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/removing-an-object-with-clone-stamp, I pasted the Attach Point data from the Tracker into Clone -> Transform - > Position
However, that didn't work for me as the object I was painting was not the object I was tracking. The solution from the video was simply moving my cloned spot to the tracked object instead of leaving it where I wanted it. So...
4) I then manually adjusted the Anchor Point of the Clone back to the original spot I wanted to cover.
I played footage and the cloned region successfully moved with the spot I was covering.
This is what I was able to figure out. I'm not an advanced user. I only use After Effects every couple of months when I need to fix minor things in footage, so I've only learned to use what techniques I need for the job at hand. No doubt, experienced users may shake their heads at my simplistic fix. I'm sure my technique would be wholly inadequate for situations far more complex than fixing spots on a gray wall, which is why my eyeballs cross when reading suggestions that seem way more involved than one would expect for something as seemingly minor as this. It's just a spot! It should be super easy to remove, right? Well, that's what I was looking for and that's what I came up with. I hope it helps.

How can I change the gain on one audio track in the selection?

How can I change the gain on one audio track in the selection? Is there a way to adjust the gain as it is implemented for example in cubase - pull waveform up and gain varies?

I'm not sure what you mean by "in the selection", or, more honest: I don't understand that at all.
So, instead I'm going to tell you that you can indeed adjust the Gain of one or more selected region(s) in the Region inspector on the left hand side.

How do you edit the duration of multiple still images?

Thanks Tom, I've tried that. and nothing happens.
I presume that I type the 5 in the number sequence thing above the timeline?

How can I control the volume of songs played through AirTunes?

I have an AirPort Express, with which I use to stream my iTunes music library through an external pair of speakers.
But whenever I use the volume keys on my keyboard, it only adjusts the system volume, not my AirPlay Speakers.
Is there a way for me to control the volume of my AirPlay Speakers through the volume button on the menu bar?
Or do I have to download some sort of third party app?
Thanks.

If you are playing it through Airplay from your itunes you can adjust the volume by clicking on the Airplay icon and selecting multiple
Of course if your playing through something like a Bose Soundock you need to manually set the max volume on it and Airplay works within that limit

When people call me, Skype rings far to many times before voice mail comes on. How do you reduce the number of rings on an inbound call, so that voice mail comes on in 4 to 5 rings?

Hi, billwalker1125,
Skype does not determine when to send calls to voice mail by the number of rings, but instead by the amount of time that has elapsed. Check your settings (in Windows, it would be Tools -> Options -> Calls -> Voice Messages -> Start recording a voice message if ... Remember to Save your changes!

How do I allow meeting participants to control the volume of an audio file in Adobe Connect 9?

While playing a game, how do you turn the volume down???

Sorry for the newbie question. Thanks for the help!

I don't think the Volume Up or Volumn Down keys would do anything but try hitting those and see.
The volume control is usually dependant on the game. If you hit you're menu key in your game to you see anything for Volume?
