How to apply FADE to audio track

Just moved to use Logic Pro 8 that I have the following queries:-
1. How to apply FADE/CROSSFADE on audio tracks at the Arrange window?
2. I found keeping to click the Pointer tool & Scissor tool (or Eraser) alternately (the purpose is just delete a part of an audio track) at the Arrange window during audio editing very clumsy, is there any shortcut?
3. I use a MOTU 2408 audio interface, is there anyway I could set the Logic to having:- A. just one mono output instead of stereo pair ( likes 12, 34, 56, or 78) for a track? B. input of a stereo track set to using S/PDIF as my 2408 have this and I sometimes dump things into the computer from a DAT player?
Thank you for your advise.

You can use the fade tool, or for multiple regions, simply select the regions (you can rubberband them), and use the fade tool box in the upper left hand corner of the arrange page.

Look over the extensive list of key commands that are available within Logic. You can also assign alternate tools to left/right mouse buttons, or by modifier keys, so you can switch tools quickly, without the need for accessing the toolbox.

For mono output assignments, simply pan the mono track to the desired side of the output. i.e., track one, set to "Output 1-2", panned hard LEFT, will only appear on your audio interfaces output 1. Panned hard RIGHT, it'll appear only on output 2...

All audio interfaces with SPDIF inputs have those inputs hardwired. So it's just a matter of you reading the MOTU manual, and seeing what that is. It may be inputs 11-12, or 23-24, etc... Just set the stereo track in Logic to have that particular input, and you should be set.

    HOW DO I FADE OUT AUDIO IN PREMIERE ELEMENTS 13?

    Thanks for answering,
    im moving slowely forward in speeding up making presentations by using the new discovered smart tricks or functions.
    So you understand my level of expertise:
    This step by step production methode im using now give's me controle without the (full) knowledge of all the (smart)functions in this program.and slowely learning the way arround.
    starting a project:  a mix of photo's and avi's, starting with manual time line filling with the selected files then the timesaving "Standard crosover on all selected".
    second: placing a header with the titel at the front and a ending a the end. (cut al the wrong or bad pieces and extend some photo viewingtime if needed.)
    And then adding subtitels/tekst and use some other crosovers to highlight the change of subject or stills to movie.
    And at last: placing the background music on "soundtrack": after some fiddeling around ive choose to cut the musictrack between the avi's instead of let the music play all the time and adjust the volume down to zero when a avi is playing.
    this have two advantages:
    1)  the songs can be streched by  by cut and jumping to the end of the avi soundtrack. (no loss of music through fading out and still let it play so need less musicsongs.)
    2) And the rightclick fade function with the standaard fadingtime => "fade out" and "fade in" is easly to use because of the end track avi and begin track music timeline. (And if needed lowering the fading slope/ extend the fading time by moving the "points" on the audio line)
    But; its a lot of work and after the first run through the presentation(or watching on TV) and there is a adjustment needed (fadingtime, volume-changes) you have to adjust every bit of the soundtrack. (keeping the volume "feeling" the same is the  difficult part.)
    I will read about the Smart Mix function and test  it on a other project. see of its fits my kind of using and expertise. (every automatic (smart) function needs understanding of its purpes and limitations and there are a lot of them in premiere
    What is in your opinion the most effective way of adjusting volume of audio parts across the hole project so its merged in to one audio/soundlevel?
    (and offcourse in the hole way of building the presentation.)

  • 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?

    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.

    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 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,

  • 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!
    Guy

    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 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 do I import multiple audio tracks?

    Hi there...
    I have a number of video files that have multiple audio tracks in them. The problem is I can not work out how to get prem to see multiple audio tracks. The files import fine and I have also tried various other formates with multi-track audio.. but only audio "stream 1" is visible in prem.
    What I was hoping is that the video would come in with a 2 audio tracks instead of 1 each in its own "lane".. so I can then use the mixer and the audio files are  linked to the video file and in perfect sync.. (just like when you import with 1 track)
    NOTE: I am not talking about channels.. but complete 2 completely different audio tracks.. and I know that I could extract these audio streams into wavs and then re-sync them but this seams overkill and a duplication of effort... surly there is a way to have prem support more than 1 audio track on a video file?
    --Me

    Well, if PP doesn't bring them in, then best guess is they just don't exist.
    There's really no trick or user adjustment for this that I'm aware of.  You import the file, PP sees what's in it.  I've never observed or read about any other behavior than that.

  • How do I get the audio track to stick with the video track?

    Sounds like Linked Selection is switched off. Check the button in the upper right of the timeline window. Shift-L will toggle it off and on.

  • How can I export an audio track with just the effect signal without the audio?

    I want to export dry audio tracks and their effects signals as separate tracks. For instance a track with a reverbed snare would be one track with the dry snare and one with just the reverb.
    I know from people who use Reason that it's just a box you need to tick, but I'm struggling to find out how to do it in Logic. Surely it must be a way?

    I don't remember Reason being that straight forward, but the obvious way to go, is to mute all sends and bounce.
    Then solo the reverb channel, in aux, checking it isn't shared by other sources, and bounce. You should have a dry and a reverbed signal, at your convenience.

  • How to create a specific audio track in arrange

    There's gotta be something simple I'm missing. In Logic 7 you could create an audio track in the arrange and then click to open a drop-down menu to select any audio track number you wanted to assign it to.
    I don't see how to do that in 8.
    All I'm trying to do is create an audio track of audio 9 in the arrange. Currently, 4, 6, 7 and 11 are in the arrange. I can go to number 7 and hit "new track with next channel strip" until 9 shows up and delete the rest (it starts by adding 1, which currently isn't used, etc., 'til it gets up to 9) but that can't be the only way to do it.
    Can someone give me a tip?
    Thanks!!

    Simply create the new audio track, and the control/right click on that track
    You'll see "Reassign Track Object" > Mixer > Audio >
    and from there you can select specifically what audio track you want that new track to be.
