multitrack videopad

clive_lombari

Nationsolo I have used your procedure.Once i have made the singing melody and guitar lead.I played it back continuously using real player listening on my headphones, then used videopad to record me playing the chords to it.I unlinked the video2 deleted it and just kept the audio.I loaded video 1 back into videopad and moved it down the bottom.Although both audio tracks were loud enough to listen to , the amplitudes were very small , making it very difficult to line them up (syncronise i guess).Am I still doing something wrong?Can u play and record on videopad at the same time like narrate does?

cheers

I don't think you are doing anything particularly wrong. Unfortunately VP wont expand multiple tracks much. The best you can do is to click the + at the left end of the track where this is present when it will change to a - and the track will enlarge. (Audio Track 1 and Video track 1 are full height by default)

You can further increase the height slightly by grabbing the five dots between the Video and Audio tracks and dragging them up. You can do the same with the dots under the preview window. If you particularly want to use just the audio tracks then you can click the - icon for the Video tracksto reduce the heights and continue to pull the audio up. You can probably work with about 5 tracks then but the video thumbnails are then miniscule as will be the preview window which might need to be undocked. You will need to play around with the controls a bit to get the best effect. If you want to match peaks you can of course zoom it to the audio.

thanks for the above.I will study it.I bought Sony Acid Pro 7 which is probably a better tool for recording various music tracks then mixing them.But it was so complicated that i then bought videopad.Even this isn't easy , for what I want to do.Yet it must b quite a common requirement for putting music videos on your YOUTUBE video channel.Yet all my videos on youtube need deleting and me starting again as I think I have improved my singing so much recently.Unfortunatly tho although I have 2 £100 quality mics and the ability to record direct off my guitars into a focusrite audio interface , I am still absolute beginner at recording.Hence trying to learn about this.
