I have a clip with low volume, and want to increase it. I can't find how to do it, if it is even possible in Vegas4. Could someone please show me the light? I also have access to Sound Forge on a friend's computer, if that would help.
a. right click on the audio track, normalize
b. drop on a volume envelope, set points to raise/lower volume over time
c. in the header area, push the slider right to get up to a 12 db gain
d. Master mixer, push up, just avoid going into the red, even yellow
e. click on the plug-in chain, track compressor has a gain for input and output.
Other FX filters can effect volume over frequency. For example Graphic Dynamics allows you to to set points along an axis and can be used similar to noise reduction to either add gain (volume) or reduce it for a narrow range. Other audio filters do similar things. Have fun messing around with the others.
Now you got me humming the Johnny Cash tune "I've saw the Light" or whatever its called. He sang that when he did a guest spot on Columbo.. LOL!
Sorry about that. I can't stop singing it either... and I can't sing. Really isn't a song Cash wrote, Roy Acuff, I think, but I remember Cash singing it over and over in a old Columbo where he was a bad guy, playing another singer that killed his wife in a staged plane crash. Funny how you mind gets hooked on something silly. <wink>
