  • Adjusting audiotrack 2-3-4 from in to out (how?)

    Posted by Anders Haavie on June 6, 2007 at 11:37 am

    Got 4 audiotracks on lots of dvcproHD material. I want to set the level on track 2-3 and 4 to 0 on alot of my tracks. How do I do it the most efficent way ? (I can’t use apple-alt-l cause then I have to end up selecting all tracks, and then deselecting track 1.) I guess I am looking for abit of Avid functionality here.

    Hmm. Found a way, but it involves choosing turning off linked selection, then choosing the tracks, and using apple-alt-l. Guess thats a solution I can live with.

    Just open the “Audio Mixer” (in TOOLS) and you will be able to monitor all the audio channels.

    not really as far as I can see. I want to set the levels on many tracks at the same time. (like Avid does with “from in to out”)

    Sorry Anders I missunderstud you. In “Modifie”> levels, you can adjust the level of all the audios that you got selected at the same time.
    hope this helps.

    Not sure I understand what you’re doing, but you can select multiple tracks and use Control-[ and ] to raise and lower levels in 3dB increments or Control-+ and – to raise and lower 1dB.

    All the best,

    Tom

    Boy that’s the long way to do it. With one click I would’ve held down option and drawn a square around the tracks to select. Then pressed cmd+option+L. (What’s with the “alt” you mentined?)

    Significantly shorter than the avid system and more versatile. Avid does it on an in/out basis. In FCP, you can do it the same way, or you can linearly select every other clip if you wanted to. I used to edit avid and the adjust volume in/out was a feature I used quite often. When apple implemented cmd+option+L in version 2, I was sold and it instantly gave me faster control over mixing my audio.
