  • AE – Waveform distinguish Highs/Lows

    Posted by Max Hakvoort on September 1, 2013 at 12:43 pm

    hey,
    Im making an intro, and i have music playing (just a short dubstep riff).
    and im adding a “WaveWarp” & “Scatter” when the bass hits.
    but its hard to get the timing right, and theres a few bass hits.
    is there a way to show the lows (and highs) of the waveform to distinguish where to put my video effects.
    if your wondering the song is from Two-Steps-From-Hell
    this is the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLUj9lFPU6s (skip to 3:03).
    Your help would be great!

    Press LL (the L key twice in rapid succession) to show the audio waveform.

    This shortcuts and all the rest are here.

    i dont think you fully understand, i know about how to see the waveform. but im trying to apply my effects when the bass hits. but its hard to tell just by looking at the wave form. as there is no easy way to see just by looking at it (the waveform looks the same all the way through the part i want). so im trying to figure a way to easily tell where the “bass hits” in the song and as it happens a few times.
