Missing Audio Clip Mixer

Hi,
it sounds like a stupid question, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere, because the Audio Clip Mixer is something which is normally found easy.
I have to say that I just started to try the testversion of Adobe Premiere Pro CC. When I followed the steps of some tutorials I was just wondering if there might be any difference between this testversion and the version which I might finally buy.
This is the surface as it is when I start the program:
And this is the surface after people have started the programm e.g. in tutorials:
Regards,
Sven

Okay, I guess it was a stupid question. But thanks for answering!
Just for not opening another thread... Do you maybe know why I can't select "customize" to put some more information in my timeline as shown in the screenshorts below?
Without being able to press customize I can't join this Button Editor...
Furthermore I can't join it via the settings button, where "customize video/audio header" is not selectable as well...

Audio Clip Mixer is missing dB range down the sides and sliders

My audio clip mixer is missing the dB range down the sides and sliders 90% of the time. There isn't any rhyme or reason as to when they show up and when they don't. I've attached a picture of what it looks like. Can anyone recommend a solution? Is there a preference I should be setting?

Adobe Premier Pro CC won't write tracks in Audio Clip Mixer

Hi!
For some reason the Audio Clip Mixer controls aren't functioning after I "write" the track in mix down. The track reverts to "touch" upon play back, but nothing took hold. Any suggestions? Is there something I need to enable first to make the "Write" function...function?
thank you!
Scott

You probably mean the Audio Track Mixer.
If after writing it reverts to Latch that is a setting you can turn off in the panel menu.
Did you add a keyframe to start writing.

Premiere Pro CC Not Showing R button in Audio Clip Mixer

Hello everyone, I am having a problem with PP not showing the R button in my audio clip mixer. I have my mic set up under the prefrences under audio hardware and the mic is showing a good signal under windows however when I import a clip to do a voice over I Only see the M, S and Keyframe button. Am I do doing something wrong? How to I get the R button to show up and activate?

Hi Bigstick2012,
Have you tried the Audio Track Mixer? Choose Window > Audio Track Mixer.
The Clip Mixer is not the right location to record VOs.
Thanks,

Control surface toggle audio clip mixer

Thought I'd post this as it took me some time to work out it was possible.
External control surfaces now work with the Audio Track Mixer, but I couldn't find a way (or any info) on how to make it work with the new Audio Clip Mixer. Eventually I found 'Toggle Control Surface Mixer Mode' in the keyboard shortcuts and now everything is working well in both modes.
This works for mute, solo and level in the Clip Mixer. I've not yet attempted any automation, I can't see a way to turn on the 'record keyframes' other than manually one track at a time. Still, progress to this point is very welcome.

The Mackie device has some quirks, and while basic functionality is there, PPro does not have as strong support with mackie as it does with eucon through the avid artist series. The physical MCU keys switched between different versions of the device and what is undo on one is a different function on another, so sadly, depending on what model you get, those buttons may or may not be correct by the label that is on the device. There is no way for us to tell which one you have.
Clip mixer mode can be enabled either through the fly out menu in the clip mixer or by assigning a keyboard shortcut. When engaged, it supports the faders, pan/balance/mute and solo. If automation is engaged it will record automation, though you can't engage clip mixer automation via the control surface like you can on the track mixer.
Unfortunately there is no way to group channels at this time, aside from making a submix, but I do not think this is what you were requesting.
There is not a way to manually enter a keyframe via a button on the control surface.
It is possible to customize some of the control surface buttons by hitting the button assignments button in the Mackie control surface window. This is mostly limited to the function keys and a few others
The touch and latch mode lights is a known bug.
If you want more customization, the Avid Artist series has much better support in this regard. We set up many soft keys, but you can also create your own very easily.
I will take a look at the other issues you have raised as they sound like bugs, but I also encourage you to file them through here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform as it will help us to gauge how many are using the mackie protocol vs eucon.
Thanks

Audio Clip Mixer - MIDI codes for an external controller

Does anybody know if the Audio Clip Mixer generates MIDI codes for an external controller?
I am setting up an old digital mixer as DAW controller. I can get it to work with the Audio Track Mixer but cannot detect any midi for the audio clip mixer.
I am using Midi Monitor and Bomes. Premier CC 2015. MacBook Pro

I haven't checked this with instrument tracks, could it possibly be you have somehow de-selected Universal Track Mode in Preferences/Audio? It should be enabled.

Using a Control Surface with the Clip Mixer

I'm contemplating purchasing a Mackie MCU to help automate some of the volume edits I have to make using 5 tracks in the Audio Clip Mixer over 80 hours of video. I've tried to contact Adobe support, but they are about as cluless as a bag of hammers. When I asked if the clip mixer works with a control surface (after 4 calls and 4 different agents) I was told no. Which is total BS as there is toggle in the clip mixer called "Toggle Control Surface Clip Mixer Mode". They read from scripts and have no clue what they are talking about. I guess I should not be surprised as its an outsourced call center staffed with drones who have never even used the software, much less in production! Adobe you should be ashamed of your support, it's appauling! (BTW I own an online Magazine in the 3d industry and will be writting an article about your appauling support soon)
Anyway, onto my specific questions:
1) The Mackie MCU has overlay cards for button mappings for many different apps, but PP is not one of them. What functionaliy is mapped to the control surface specially from PP and the clipmixer?
2) Is there a way to group channels so that keyframes can be written to multiple clips at the same time by using one fader?
3) In the clip mixer there is a keyframe toggle, does such a toggle translate to the control surface?
4) Sometimes I want to manually keyframe, rather thanan make adjustments while the playhead is moving, so I will simply click the fader slider to write a keyframe, manually move the playhead and then adjust the fader to write the subsequent keyframes. As faders on a control surface can not be pushed like a button, is there a way to generate a keyframe from the control surface?
5) Are there any known limitations using the control surface vs the software for both the clip and track mixers?

Missing Audio with Merged Clips

I'm experienced a very confusion and frustating kink in clip merging process. I suspect other people have encountered it before, but I can't find where. I'll post tech details at the end.
I merged clips by marking an in point on the audio and an in point on the video. I placed both clips in to my timeline. I deleted the stereo track that came with the video. I linked the 4 mono channels to the video, and dragged them over to a bin, where it asked me to name the merged clip, and I named it according to the scene.
I had no problems working with them
Upon returning to my work, however, some of the audio seems to be missing. That is, the top of the four mono tracks is there, but the other three, while there in the timeline, play no sound - they don't have any waveforms anymore (it is not any kind of mute track issue, the waveforms themselves are gone).
I have since tried merging clips directly in the media browser, using in points, and this seems to resolve the problem. While I am happy to see a solution for the future, I am on a very tight deadline and don't have the time to re-merge all of my hundreds of clips.
This is an awful bug that Adobe has got to fix.
Thanks!

I created a new user account and trashed my preferences and I have the same problems. I created a new project, and new sequences. Same problems.
It only happens with 23.98 (batch reverse telecined using Cinema Tools) NTSC DV clips that have been merged with separate 24-bit 48 khz Quicktime audio clips (converted from BWF using BWF2XML). Clips that were captured from the tape with audio and video simultaneously don't have this problem. The discrepancies between the actual amounts trimmed and the white numbers in the trim windows are consistent. If it's off by 6:10 on a clip, every time I try to trim that clip it will be off by the same amount. But the number varies from clip to clip. It's generally 5-8 seconds.
If I try to trim only the audio, I don't have any trouble. If I trim the audio and video at the same time I don't have any trouble. It's only when I trim the video on its own. If I use the original video clip before it's merged with an audio track then it trims fine. If I cut the merged clip into a sequence then delete the audio track from the sequence the problem remains.

Avoiding audio clipping in mix from jsresources example

I am looking at the AudioConcat example from jsresources
http://www.jsresources.org/examples/AudioConcat.html
to help me mix some wav files (44100 16 bit signed)
It seems that there is no protection for audio clipping in the code. From the little that I know about audio, the max positive value for a sample in a 16 bit sample should be 37627 so around line 250 I added this check
              if (anMixedSamples[nChannel] > 37627) {
               anMixedSamples[nChannel] = 37627;
}but it did not seem to do anything
Any assistance would be apprciated

Audio clips randomly missing in timeline

So i have a bit of a crisis and i'm not seeing any answers to this online. Hopefully someone can respons quickly. I have a premiere pro cc file thats been fine up to this point. The last time i opened it, several clips of audio suddenly are hashed and greyed out. The source audio file is in the bin and working correctly as the rest of the audio clips in the timeline pull from the from the same two audio files (see attached.) I did try copying everything into a new squence but it made no difference. I have no idea how to fix this and i'm praying that I dont have to re-edit. Any ideas? Let me know if I need to supply more information.
Thank you in advance!

Me too. Running 6.0.2, although slightly different than in the above posters case. Restarting PP usually encourges the audio to come back for a few minutes before disappearing again. It's doing my head. I think my problem is related to a wider issues as I'm also getting endless reconforms and tonnes of unusual little bugs when working on network material. I did intend to shift our facility to PP from FCP7 but the way this trial is going and the hours and hours we've sunk into chasing down the bugs it's not looking promising..

Unable to perform multi audio tracks mixing with Audio Mixer

How do you get a simple multi track mix with the Premier Pro 1.5 Audio Mixer?
I got 2 audio clips, each sitting at the start of its own separate track (Audio 1 and Audio 2). I just want to mix them into the Master track. Simple enough.
So I go to the Audio Mixer. Position the CTI at the start of the tracks and hit the red RECORD button. The red spot starts blinking. Then I hit the START/STOP button expecting the tracks to start mixing into the Master track. Instead, I get this error message
"PLAYER ERROR: You cannot record without enabling at least one track for recording."
I get the same problem if I try the mix onto a submix track.
What am I missing? I combed through the Premiere Pro User Guide and J. Rosenberg's Premiere Pro Studio Techniques but to no avail.
Thanks for any help.
JB.

Jacques, I havn't seen 1.5 for a while, so I need to stress that what I'm about to say is more of an educated guess linked to a rough memory.
Each audio track in the mixer has a small chip (tickbox in 1.5??) that you click in order to enable that track for recording. In CS3 it's a little microphone.
Having said that, I DON'T think that's going to give you what you want, as the intention of the recording functionality in PP is to record audio FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE (like a microphone) straight to an audio track, say, when doing a Voice Over for some video.
You can't "mix down" to the master, as the master is not a track per se. It's just a "final" level control. The master will always be the sum of the active tracks, and THAT'S what will be rendered in the final output.
You can still "live mix" your audio with the faders, it's just that those movements get recorded as keyframes on each of the tracks you modify (including, BTW, the Master).
The advantage to this workflow is that every fader move you make is infinitley editable... a small error when riding the faders can easily be fixed by dragging keyframes.
HTH.

**Missing Audio when Exporting to HD**

Hi,
I have been trying to find a solution to missing audio for sometime and there are many discussions on this forum regarding this topic. I have an external drive and in the past I have lost audio, I guess because the event and the project were on different drives, I have resolved that. Also, the problem that I have is not related to the speed of a clip or that I have more than 10GB in my events (I don't). There have been other audio issues and I have always been able to resolve them but this one has me stumped! I thought that perhaps the graphics card was not up to the task but this has just happened and now I am confused.
I have just completed a project that was only 3 minutes long 403.5 MB. The movie was imported to iMovie from my video camera and listed as an Event, I also used movie clips and stills from iPhoto, I added titles and transitions. I then exported the movie to Media Browser (mobile size) so that I could import it into Garage Band to make an soundtrack. I then exported the soundtrack as an AAC to iTunes (as I have read that there are issues with MP3 and audio missing). I then opened iMovie and dragged the soundtrack into my project and republished the completed project to Media Browser in the HD size. No problem all works well, I was really happy! Onwards I thought and get another 2010 video finished, wrong!
On my next project I have done everything that I have described above, this time the project is only 349.8 MB (smaller). The audio on the HD size has failed. I have copied all the files onto my desktop and reimported everything. I have tried exporting using Quicktime or as a Movie but still no audio. I have found that the 'consolidate media' is grayed out when I have all my clips in the project editor, because they are all on my hard drive. As soon as I add the iTunes track that I have exported from Garageband the consolidate media option becomes available. If I select this I then get the message that the iTunes track cannot be copied as it is not on my hard drive! It is on my hard drive (I disconnected all external drives so that there would be no confusion!).
I cannot understand how the first project worked and the second smaller project failed using the same process! I thought that I would share this information with the forum in the hope that perhaps a solution can be found. I am able to publish the second project to my mobile me in the large and mobile sizes, it would be good to have the HD size for a DVD. There seems to be no logical pattern to the audio disappearing on export. Your thoughts or help would be very welcome.
Kind regards,
Watchthebat.

In Soundtrack if you have selected to use only channel 2 of a stereo file (right click on stereo file and select mono->channel2) you will hear channel 1 when you export. Its a massive bug.
Could that be the source of your problems? The bug can certainly create exported mixes that sound like stuff is missing.
There's a recent thread around here about this.

How do I sync multiple audio clips to one video clip?

I have video (with stereo audio from a camera mic), and for each take, there are also four additional mono audio tracks that line up with it. It was footage shot outdoors in the city, so I guess the filmmakers just wanted to have as many options for sound mixing as possible given how much background noise there would be. I have tried selecting the video clip and the four audio clips at once and selecting "synchronize clips," but it doesn't work. It spits out a synchronized clip that seems to have converted two of the mono tracks into one stereo track... and then disregarded the remaining two mono tracks. It's a mess. It's likely someone else will fine tune the audio once I'm done cutting the video together... but I'd like to get all the audio tracks properly synced from the start. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Do you mean manual syncing? I've been reading this thread about workaround, which aren't working for me: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/21236
But the question they are asking is the same one I am asking. Isn't this a typical situation, having multiple mics for one camera? For example, if someone filmed a concert with one camera but used both the camera audio, and ambient mic, and a mix from the board, then that would be 3 audio tracks with 1 video track. I'm in a similar situation, and I'm finding it hard to believe that FCPX isn't equipped to edit this way. There must be some way to get one video clip (with reference audio) to sync with four audio tracks.

How do I merge multiple audio clips to one?

Hey Everyone,
After syncing multiple clips in PE I import them into Premiere CS6 and they are all layered with their own audio tracks (though the video clips are synced with only one audio track). This causes inconsistent audio levels. How do I join all these clips which originally derived from one audio recorder to merge as one? If there is a step by step process please advise. Thanks in advance, you guys are beyond awesome.
Mike Diaz

If all audio is from a single audio source (with consistent levels0 ..the only reason you would be getting different audio levels on different audio tracks is if the Mixer has different settings....or the audio has been changed at clip level.
Its usually desireable to have audio clips on different tracks.
Can you not just drag the audio clips to a single audio track...if that's what you really need?
Alternatively a mixdown...but that requires sorting the levels anyway. ( Mixer on automation or at clip level.)
