How to adjust volume within a single track?

I have recently purchased Logic Express 9 as I moved from a PC to MAC.If i record a single track, such as vocals, is there any way I can adjust the volume level at different places on that single track? I was able to do this very easily in Acid Pro. All I see in Logic is the ability to increase or decrease the track volume as a whole. Thanks!

To add to the tips… Make your right tool the marquee tool in Logic. Now when you are in the vocal track and in automation mode, hold Command and you'll get the Marquee tool. Drag a box around the phrase you want to adjust, release command (returning to the pointer) and click on the selection. Now you'll have 4 nodes or handles. Drag the automation line up and down to taste. I manually "compress" all my vocal tracks with an automation pass using this trick.

  • Adjusting volume on a single track ghosted.

    I go to "Get Info"and try to adjust the volume on a single song but it is ghosted and i cant adjust it?

    Your media files are probably read-only (the "ghosting" of volume adjust definitely happens when a media file has that setting in Windows).  To fix this:
    In Windows Explorer, right-click on the folder that contains the songs that you can't adjust the volume on and select Properties
    You'll see an editor like this:
    Click on the Read-only box so that its clear, then click Apply.
    When you get this prompt:
    leave the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" choice enabled, and click OK.
    You should then be able to go back into iTunes and adjust the volume as normal.
    Note that you can apply this globally to everything in your library if all your media is in a common "parent" folder - just go to that folder and apply the procedure above.
    There is one other possibility which could result in the same symptoms, which is that Windows permissions settings are preventing changes being made to the file(s).  If the method described above, follow the procedure described in turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

  • How to adjust volume on Audio Timelines

    A couple questions about volume adjustment on the various Audio Timelines on Premiere Pro CS 5.
    1) How to adjust volume level of an mp3 on the Audio 2 timeline?
    2) How to adjust or mute volume of an 'individual' video clip on the Video 1 and Audio 1 timeline? (I have many clips on the timeline and know how to mute them all, but in this case, I'm looking to only mute certain clips in the timeline.)

    Along with the material covered in the Help File, that Ann linked to, see this ARTICLE. It goes into a little more detail on the differences between Clip Keyframes and Track Keyframes (generated with Audio Mixer). While the effect of those can be the same, there are nuances, that one should make note of.
    Good luck,

  • How to adjust the height of the tracks in timeline mode

    I am trying to find my way around PE 10, have had the program for years but not used it. (I am using Win 7 on a 15" laptop, screen resolution is 1920x1080, 16 GB Ram, 4GB video RAM.) I took some video on vacation, in some clips there is a lot of wind noise. I know how to adjust the volume using key frames, but the tracks are only about ¼" wide making adjustment just about impossible. Full volume to zero is just a small fraction of an inch. I can zoom in on the track, but this doesn't make the track wider. Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks,
    David

    Actually, I wanted to do this in a static table.
    Just now, I learnt that this feature is not available in 12.0 as well as in other previous versions.
    However, this will be implemented in Release 12.1.
    Thanks,
    Navin.

  • Adjusting volume within Final Cut Express

    Hi all - can someone please advise how to change volume in FCexpress. I need to face in and fade out along the audio timeline.
    Many thanks

    Turn on the opacity overlays (clip overlays).  Then use the pen tool to place keyframes along the overlay line in the audio track(s) at the locations where you want to adjust the gain.  Then use the select tool to drag the audio overlay line up or down appropriately to achieve the levels you want.  Always keep in mind that these adjustments happen between two successive keyframes - you may need to add more keyframes than you would otherwise believe necessary.
    You can also set keyframes and adjust the gain if you open the clip in the Viewer and select the audio tab.
    Also, if you increase the gain, watch the levels meter - try not to let the meter exceed -6db at the loudest parts.  If it exceeds 0db you will get some nasty clipping.

  • How to adjust volume of Airport Express speakers on Apple TV?

    Hello,
    I've just setup my Apple TV (bought in November 2012).
    The latest version of the firmware allows to select AirPort Express speakers as default audio output. This is great.
    While watching Youtube videos or listening iTunes music, I can't find how to adjust the output volume.
    I am forced to set it by using the speaker remote control which is quite frustrating.
    Any clues?
    I've attached a photo of the Apple TV screen while playing a Youtube video. There's an output selector. But I can't access the volume options.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hit "up" two times to bring up "movie menu", then hold down "select", then navigate up and over to "speakers" tab, then down to your "AirPlay speakers", then move slider to right to increase volume
    DONE!!
    found it here so i dont deserve the credit but you guys should know - i struggled with this for hours wondering why the streamed audio was so low

  • Garage band 10.0.2  adjust volume of prerecorded audio track

    Just started with garage band 10.0.2.  So confusing compared to previous versions.  When I just want to work with prerecorded tracks I don't even know which of the canned options to choose.  Next I just want to adjust volume of those tracks.

    To adjust the volume of a prerecorded track, drag the audio file to an empty spot of the track area, to create a new audio track with basic settings.
    Then adjust the track volume slider:

  • Adjusting volume within a clip

    I think I have read on the discussion board that iMovie '08 doesn't have this feature, but I want to be sure: Is it possible to adjust part of the volume of a clip within that clip?
    For example, I have a cute clip of my grandchildren, but right in the middle of it, someone in the background is cussing for about two seconds. Splitting the clip to remove that part of the audio ruins the video part.
    This may sound like a broken record, but in iMovie '06 I could adjust the volume by clicking on View Volume Tracks. Not possible in iMovie '08?

    Dear Appleman 1958: One more question. In iMovie '06 there were some cool Video FX features. My little granddaughters particularly liked the fairy dust that could be strewn across video of them. Have those features been taken out of iMovie '08?

  • How to adjust Apple Mail's single header fields?

    Hi all, is there anybody who knows a way to make individual adjustments in the headersection of Apple Mail? (should be RFC 5322 Specification?) Thanks a lot!

    More details on the particular "adjustments", please?
    AFAIK, there's no documented to insinuate a change into an outbound SMTP message (if that's what you're up to here) within Apple Mail.
    Most commonly, these sorts of header adjustments arise at an intermediate mail server.  Usually spam filters have something similar. 
    If these particular "adjustments" are possible within Mail, then it's likely via the undocumented plugins API underneath Apple Mail.  And, well, that API is not documented.  And the plugins API has changed at various Apple Mail updates, too; it's clearly not a stable API.

  • Does iPod Classic 6th Gen support a headphone remote for pausing/playing, adjusting volume, and advancing the track?

    I know that the 7th Gen does support this feature, and my iPod video (5th Gen) does not.

    The listing for Apple's EarPods
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD827LL/A/apple-earpods-with-remote-and-mic
    under Compatibility, shows it supporting back to "iPod classic 120GB (2008)."
    The official list of iPods does not actually name iPods after the 5th gen model by a "gen" name, but if you look at the list
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
    it is clear which one "iPod classic 120GB (2008)" refers to.  There is an earlier "iPod classic" ("6th gen") model from 2007 that is apparently NOT supported by the EarPods.  But it's possible that Apple's older headphones with remote control works with it.

  • Erratic quality in a single track?

    I am experiencing a rather strange problem with burned CDs - the sound quality varies widely within a single track. It goes from loud to soft, then loud again. With the current CD I'm trying to burn, I notice that the solo vocals are very soft, and the rest of the time the music is at normal volume.
    What can I do to fix the problem? Is this an AIFF issue or is there a setting I need to change? Thanks in advance.

    I have experience this before and that was due to the quality of the MP3's that I was burning. Some of the MP3's would be real soft and some loud and I just never realized it until it was on a CD and I was listening to my music other than on my computer.
    I remedied this by 'normalizing' the music. I've never burned a CD in iTunes and I don't see a 'normalize' setting in the Preferences, but maybe/hopefully someone else can chime in on how to normalize MP3's prior to burning.
    Sorry I could be more help but I know what you are going through.

  • Volume curve for multiple tracks?

    I'm just learning to score films with GarageBand. My first snag is that I want to be able to adjust volume curves on multiple tracks without affecting the audio track of the movie. Is this possible? It's kind of a bother to have to create control points for EACH track that are all identical and then having to adjust them individually. The Master Volume doesn't help, because the movie track follows it unless there's some way to lock it out. Thanks!
    Also, any good tutorials out there for scoring movies with GarageBand?

    you can not.
    the only workaround i can think of would be to create a volume curve on one track, and then duplicate that track as many times as needed, and drag the regions of your other tracks into these duplicated tracks.
