    Hi. I am trying to make a shape rise and fall in time with a sound. I pick whipped the position of the shape to the audio key frames and it is working great. The problem is that it moves along the Y and X axis. So, rather then moving up and down it moves on a diagonal.

    I imagine this is a simple problem but I am new to working with expressions and I can’t seem to find any info out there. A bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

    Try this:

    aud = thisComp.layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”);
    value – [0,aud]

    Hey, thanks for the quick response. That doesn’t seem to work for me. It probably would have helped if I posted the expression that I am currently using.

    temp = thisComp.layer("Pale Red Solid 3").effect("Sound Keys")("Output 2");
    [temp, temp, temp]

    Yes–always. 🙂

    Try this then:

    temp = thisComp.layer(“Pale Red Solid 3”).effect(“Sound Keys”)(“Output 2”);
    value + [0, temp, 0]
