Volume on audio tracks

when i import audio tracks and pull the channel fader all the way down i'm still hearing audio through the channel. anyone know why?

Are you sure you are hearing that channel or the same audio coming from some other channel?
Do you see meter activity? What is it's output set to? Do you have any signal from it being routed to busses?

When I try to map faders to the volume in audio tracks it only lets me map the "selected track"

LogicX user. I'm trying to map my mpd32's faders up with four audio tracks to control their volume. For the first three tracks, I can map the faders accordingly, and in the Controller Assignments window, in the "channel strip" section on the right, they all say "fader bank (1-3)", which is correct. When I get to the fourth audio track, and I go through the same steps as I have to map the first three audio tracks, the channel strip section says "selected track: 1" instead of what I thought it would say: "fader bank 4". When I try and manually change that to "fader bank 4", I move the control that I want it to be mapped to, it and the text automatically switches back to saying "selected track 1". I made sure that none of the tracks that I was trying to map were selected before I did this. I'm not new to logic by any means but I seriously need to be able to control these all at the same time for a performance I'm trying to do soon. It is driving me ******* crazy.

Audio tracks move around by themselves after I render!

I've been using keyframes to alter the volume of audio tracks. When I render the audio, I find that either the track itself I'm working on - or totally unrelated tracks - gets chopped up and in the wrong order, as if somebody had "cut and pasted" different parts of the clip and dumped them down in the wrong place!
This is extremely irritating and has all the signs of a bug. Is that the case, or am I doing something wrong?
Please help as I have a tight deadline and was not expecting something so crazy to happen via simple volume editing!
Thanks.
p.s. why can't I choose Final Cut Express on the product list?

You really need to provide the info that Mr. Wolsky requested to get a good answer.
Certainly the difference is sampling rate is a problem, but to advise you correctly more information is needed - to make sure you are using video with a codec and frame rate that is appropriate for FCE.
If you are using video directly from a DSLR,, for example, in H.264 at 24fps, then you have additional problems that can cause the symptoms you are reporting.
If it is to much info for you to type, then select a source clip in the browser and type Command+9, then take a screen shot of the item properties and post the screen shot here.
Do the same with your sequence.

How do i automate volume on an audio track??? why cant i figure this out.

in logic 8 i cant figure out how to automate volume for an audio track. With midi its fine i just use the hyper editor but with audio i just cant get it figured out. I want to mute the portions of a vocal track where there are no vocals.

Go to your key commands window and find out how
to view volume automation.
Then press that button and automate away.

Change volume for whole audio track

Hi gang,
I feel like I am missing something obvious ...
I have a stereo background noise that recurs across my sequence. It is pasted into audio tracks A13 and A14 with crossfades between each occurrence. I want to fade the volume of all of them at the same time (i.e. all of the audio clips pasted into A13 and A14). If I select all of them by dragging a box using the mouse, it does not set the volume for all of the clips, only the last
How do you change the volume for a whole track?
Cheers!

whats more, had you already manually adjusted some clips but not others and then wanted to adjust all the clips to the same level regardless of your previous adjustment then there's really no need to remove levels attributes, or redit etc etc ... you just follow the same steps posted above, choosing "Absolute" as the Gain adjustment - all clips regardless of previous levels will be set to the absolute level you specify.

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:

Reducuing the volume in the middle of an audio track

I am having a problem trying to figure out how to reduce the volume in the middle of an audio track. Can someone enlighten me?

Brucek75,
There are several ways to attenuate Volume of Audio in PrE. This article goes into detail on several of those: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3472343#3472343
The Audio Volume Keyframes (applied in at least one of two ways), will do exactly what you want.
Good luck, and hope that helps.

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?

DVD - audio track volume too low; can adjust??

I've got a commercial movie DVD and when I play it back using the default Apple DVD player, I notice that at any given time, the background music audio track is very loud, while the dialog is extremely quiet. Before I decide that it's a bad DVD and needs to be returned, I wonder if I'm missing some setting (Dolby or whatever): is there any way to bring up the volume of specific individual tracks from a DVD?
Mike

In DVD player preferences, Disc Setup, uncheck the box "Disable Dolby dynamic range compression".
That may help. If it's already unchecked there's nothing more you can do.

How to Equalize volume between parts of audio tracks

Dear Experts:
Using PRE 7 I have created a video using different recording devices (camera, lavalier, direct into computer) and since I have defective hearing I have a hard time making the different sections of the audio track at the same audio output level when I make/play the dvd it goes up and down in a very disturbing way to most viewers.
The yellow rubber band method is not very accurate and even tho I try to make all the same level, since some of them were recorded "louder" than ot\hers originally the db settings dont help. When I try the audio mixer approach same problem.
Is there anyway to highlight all the parts of the total audio track and make them all the same level?
Appreciate any suggestions.
Tom

Tom,
The Audio Mixer can be used in several ways.
1.) it can be used to monitor the Levels, just like with the Audio Meters
2.) it can be used to adjust an Audio Track statically and for the entire Audio Track (more on this later)
3.) it can be used to apply Track Keyframes, when the Slider is adjusted during playback. This creates a lot of Track Keyframes, and I have changed the default timing of those Keyframes, as the default seems too frequent for my needs.
Now, one workflow would be to place your loud Clips onto one Audio Track, and the ones with the proper Levels on another. Then, in Audio Mixer, adjust the Track w/ the too loud Clips, down a bit. Playback to test and adjust (not while in playback) to suit.
I use #2 and #3 most often.
As Steve points out, the Clips can have their Volume changed, with the fixed Effect>Volume. This can also be done several ways. One of the first things that I would do is zoom in on the Timeline horizontally, until just my Clip was occupying most of the visible area. Next, you can click-drag on the Audio Track's Header junction, to expand that vertically. This can be a bit tricky, as finding the right point to click-drag is like searching for pixels. Between the Audio Tracks and in the Header area, slowly move the Cursor, until it turns into parallel lines with arrows, click and drag to expand that Track vertically. This will show the yellow "rubberband" more clearly. Now, if your change is to be static, only affecting that Clip and all of that Clip equally, just click on the rubberband and slowly drag it up, or down. If you wish to do this Volume change dynamically, then you will want to add Keyframes. I find this much more easily done in the Effects Control Panel (with Clip Selected, Edit Effects), and use the little Timeline in it. With the fixed Effect>Volume, you would toggle the "stopwatch" so that Keyframes are active, and add those to adjust/modulate your Volume. Here is a look at the Effects Control Panel from PrPro 2.0, which is closer to the one in PrE 8:
Hope that this helps.
Also, there are several articles on Keyframing basics by Steve, on the Muvipix site.
Good luck,

Audio track volume low?

I Bus recorded my midi EXS drum track by routing it to Bus1 and by choosing Bus1 as an Input on the Audio track.
Problem now is that the Audio track is not loud enough. I normalized it using the Functions menu in the sample editor window. But when I play the audio region in the arrange window there is absolutely no volume increase?
Please help.

It's an old school assumption to always think the maximum level will lead to better results. With 24-Bit we have a lot of headroom and the resolution of Audio even at lower levels is appropriate.
Normalizing will alter the waveforms, add the empty bits at the top to the bottom of the file thus raising the level as well as the noise floor.
http://gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/21302-does-trk-normalizin g-lose-headroom-mix.html
Mastering Audio by Bob Katz is a good book for these kind of topics...
I actually just made a test with some sine waves, the normalized sine wave had 0,3% of DC offset added whereas the original file had 0% DC offset.
Also in RX the spectrums of the two files look a little different:
2 khz sinewave at -12 dB
2 khz sinewave normalized

Volume slider in track info grays out with audio interface

I'm using a Presonus Inspire interface for mic and guitar. But in new tracks, the volume slider in track info grays out when I plug it in. Prefs recognizes the interface and I set audio in and out on Inspire. Signal comes through the headphones, but no signal in GB because the volume slider in track info is all the way to the left and grayed out.
Ideas?
Thanks!

Any ideas guys as its doing my head in.

Hi Guys,
I started writing a "thanks but i dont understand" post but now i think i have got you:
I opened Hyper Editor and double clicked on the volume track & i saw the number 7 checked in the "convert" box so i unchecked it, pressed "convert" and all is fine so far
thank you so much guys, you have no idea - i am one of 2 logic users that make house on this tiny rock in the caribbean & without this forum i wd be so behind - i truly appreciate you

Audio Tracks will not play

Hi there,
I'm using FCP 7 for a project that was originally edited in Final Cut 6 (I had to switch to 7 because BOTH my computers at home have crashed today which use FCP6, now I'm up at my office and have to use 7 - bad day, I know).
I'm trying to do some sound edits and only one audio track is playing (tracks 3 and 4) which are the source audio from the XDCAM Footage (note, these tracks have not been soloed - if that's a word). All my other tracks are not working. When played they produce no sound, but the audio meters to the right are moving. When played in quicktime, iTunes, or Finder they do indeed still work.
Audio Output has been set to Default, though I've also tried Built-in Audio Output. I'm using headphones, but it also does not play through the computer. I've also tried speakers. All other audio on the computer is fine - my volume is up.
Sometimes I can get tracks one and two to play after re-rendering.
RT is set to Unlimited, but it also doesn't work with Safe RT.
Any insight into this issue would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Go to Sequence Settings...then the AUDIO TAB. How many tracks of audio do you have? More than 2 and STEREO?
If you right-click on the track patch area on the timeline, you can assign these tracks to audio ouputs...are they set to anything other than 1 or 2?

Importing a project into PE 12 trial version, not all audio tracks play back!

I'm trying the trial vesion of PE 12. Imported a project that I had created with PE 9. Everything appears to have been imported, including all the audio tracks. But when i play it back, some of the audio tracks are completely muted, while others, are fine and I can hear it.
Any idea what can cause this?

With "muted" Audio Tracks, I would look at a few possibilities, and especailly with a Project created in an earlier version of PrE:
Open Audio Mixer, and look to see if any Tracks are Muted.
Play the Timeline, and observe the Levels in Audio Mixer, and also whether there is any movement of the "sliders" in Audio Mixer.
Observe which Audio Tracks your Audio Clips are, in the Timeline, and report those please.
Making sure that Keyframe Display is set to Volume in your Audio Clips, are there any Volume Keyframes?
I am sure that others will have a few more ideas, and questions.
Good luck,
Hunt
