    is there one. I know its easier to lower the volume of a track, but I need to bump a track up alittle without distortion. Also, what do I have to do to view dialog on one meter and music on another. what levels should the meter peak at for optimum audio? I know this is alot of questions but maybe someone wants to share. Thanks alot

    There are TONS of audio tools. Just adjust the volume on the track header to raise or lower the entire track. Add a volume envelope to selectively raise or lower volume throughout the project. Use the Master volume to raise or lower the volume of the entire project. Send one or more audio tracks to an audio bus and adjust the levels on the bus.

    To see the volumes separately, you *could* make one left only and the other right only and then they would be split on the master meter. However, a better way would probably be to send them to separate busses and each bus can display the volume in the master volume area.

    Search through the help file on these topics.

    On the topic of levels…

    It depends on what you are doing. Basically, if you are submitting a project for airplay or to a festival, etc. you need to check and see what their requirements are.

    When I’m working on an “audio” project, my levels max at 0. When I work on radio programs…I peak at -3. When doing video, I worry less about peak and try to keep my levels consistent between -12 and -6.

    Again, it is all about what works for the project.
