Audio Editing Help

[John Rofrano]

Hi Rob,

You want to add a Volume Envelope to your audio track. You can do this by simply selecting the audio track and pressing the Shift+V key. This will insert a purple/blue volume envelope line. Then Double-Click anywhere along the line to add an envelope point. You can then move the point up and down to adjust the volume.

To raise or lower the volume in just a section make 4 points. The two outside points will maintain the existing volume and the two inner points will create a gradual envelope to the new volume.

Can you do this on individual clips and not the entire line of audio? sometimes when moving the line gets really messed up..

[Steve Rhoden]

Unfortunately the volume envelope cannot be applied to each audio clip,
only the entire timeline. So just use different audio tracks for each
clip that needs the envelope.

Thought so.. Maybe a good idea for a new feature in vegas.. speed Razor used to let you do that. Like the Opacity on the video side of things.

Thanks for the input.

Trust me, you will see that little feature added soon.

Or, you can control the trim of each clip/event individually. Put your cursor at the top of the event, it’ll become a finger. click/drag and it’ll reduce the volume of the event. You cannot increase the gain of the event, however.

Can you give me a hint as to when very soon is?

[Robert Meadows]

Thankyou! Though it would appear you don’t need to push shift.

Hi!

I’m also trying to adjust the volume within a clip, but even though I’ve put in the anchor points and can adjust the line, the volume does not appear to change. No matter how high or low I drag the line, the volume is the same. What am I missing?

thanks,
a

Are you sure you inserted a Volume envelope and not a Pan envelope or FX Automation envelope? Right-click on an empty part of the Audio track, select Insert/Remove Envelope and make sure that Volume Shift+V is checked. If you bring this line down to the bottom the volume should be off. If not, I can’t imagine what is wrong. I use this all the time to edit multiple audio sources for my videos.
