Adjusting Audio Levels?

whiskey3 wrote on 11/24/2002, 8:01 PM

I did a bunch of voice overs all on one track. Is there a way to seperately adjust the volume for each one individually or is that not possible. Or do I need to load each one into sound forge and adjust the volumes seperately and then save out each one at a time?

Also when you use the "open in audio editor" command, when you save out your file in sound forge does it automatically update the sound in the Vegas timeline?

add an "audio envelope" and adjust away.

Or add the audio on it's own track and adjust

Split the audio (like U do the video)to smaller clips and adjust audio independly.

It's a matter of taste if you want to do the audio envelope or split the soundtrack into separate events and sort them to different tracks. You could also apply compression with gain compensation. That would even out volume differences throughout the track. But then you didn't say evening out was what you wanted. For a voiceover a little compression's not a bad idea anyway.

The second question: Yes, when you open your clip in Sound Forge from Vegas, alter it and save it, the new version is put instead of the old on the timeline. Very elegant.
