Well. How about a show and tell. Can I send just the Q&A file to you both and have you demonstrate how to execute these adjustments? I have no problem having the audio file made public here for all to see and hear.

Upload the file to a server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive or the like - and post a link to it here. Someone will check it out.

I don't understand this.......The blasted tab is active now!!+@+** Added three clips in various ways....Linked the clips in different ways and the B******** button is now lit up. Yet previously as well as just before all the FX went blue and using the Audio FX toolbar tab as well as the Video FX toolbar tab AND being asked if I wanted to place the FX on all the selected clips (i.e. three) .... it didn't work!!!

Well.....I have a loud soft clip so I'll try it out.

Nat (Bit Frustrated.....emed sam to take a look as well,,,😡

Hi all

After playing around with this for a bit. I think I have found out why things are not working correctly.... so make a note of this and try it out to confirm...

Separate and different clips on the timeline can be grouped or linked with Shift + Clip first then clip last and then the "Append to other selected clips tab will be active....BUT the action of splitting any of the clips (making more clips) will cause the tab to be inactive. If you add a single clip to the timeline and split it into three clips..(ie. to make 4 clips..as with a loud soft sound clip made to test this thread) although you can link them or group them VP still sees them as a SINGLE CLIP and hence the tab is not active. I think this is an oversight,

This means that in the context of this post, splitting out the loud and soft areas of the soundrack means that even though you would appear to have made numerous clips they cannot all have an effect added at the same time as the tab will not be available.

My tests didn't work until I removed the split test clip.

2 mins later....

Still..There may be something else as repeating with just three clips it again didn't work. 😡

Here is the audio file. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgTRfeoPbjh6-jDwZdy_zwVABg9V

I also need to study these last several posts

Create a template and name it "amp."

Split a clip, select all parts, group them, then click the AUDIO tab, choose AUDIO EFFECT and click on "amp." The template should be applied to all parts of the split clip. Was here.

There's no substitute for good mic technique, obviously, but use of the compression procedure mentioned earlier should help when that hasn't been the case.

Yes..That works!

@Italiengen I downloaded the sound file you posted. It's a bit more complex than the simple example I used which was very clear cut. As far a VP goes yours comes out best if the whole clip is amplified to around 300 - 350% gain. The questions become audible (better) and the answers aren't too loud. See what you think. There might be some tools in Wavepad that might also help

@borateAs far as the multiple clip effect problem......When you do a multiple select do you use Ctrl or Shift? Both allow the clips to be selected and grouped but I have just found that using SHIFT to keep the clips selected when choosing an effect inactivates the Apply to selected clips tabs. I have usually used SHIFT to group clips so that may be my error. Can you check that out?

I have just found that using SHIFT to keep the clips selected when choosing an effect inactivates the Apply to selected clips tabs.

Not seeing that behavior, Nat. Whether it's <ctrl-A> for all, <shift> (selecting first) <shift> (selecting last) or individual clip <ctrl> clicks, APPLY TO ALL is enabled here.

Hi B

What happens here with SHIFT down..

Click C1....Click C2...Click C3. All grey out so all are presumably selected
Click FX on C1 This opens the effects window but now C2 and C3 now go blue so only C1 remains selected and therefore Apply to all does not work.

BUT.... when all are apparently selected

Click FX on C2 instead and C3 goes blue and only C1 and C2 get the effect applied......... (That seems to be a bug)

Click FX on C3 and C1 and C2 turn blue only C3 gets the effect applied. (That seems to be a bug)

Select in reverse (C3,C2,C1) and click C1 all the clips get the effect. (Apparently not a bug but very inconsistent)

HOWEVER ....selecting all the clips with SHIFT and then using the toolbar tab the choice option box appears and the All clips works.

It's all a bit hit and miss with SHIFT.

Using Ctrl things seem to work correctly.... (Control/select Ctrl +A etc.)

As I said I have been in the habit of using SHIFT for selecting........I shall have to change that habit.

Click FX on C1 This opens the effects window but now C2 and C3 now go blue so only C1 remains selected and therefore Apply to all does not work.

That's not the case here with 7.04 Nat. After using <shift> to select individual clips, clicking on FX does not deselect them and the APPLY TO ALL action is available.

Hi B

With the SHIFT still pressed Are you clicking the FX on one of the selected clips ? It looked like you were clicking the toolbar option....

Got a rehearsal in a short time so have to go out, but I'll try 7.04 and see it is behaves in the same way when I get back.

Nat.

borate

<Shift> is pressed only while selecting, but not when FX is clicked. Thereafter, the audio or video effect item is accessed.

Thanks Guys. I still need to digest all of this. Q's now are;

In order to use your procedures, should I upgrade to v.7.4?

2. Nat, thanks for the adjusted file. I wish I could see the Fx settings you use to do this improvement. The fx square at the beginning of your adjustment does not show any of the effects you used.

Regards, @it-italiangen

No need to load beta 7.04.

Assuming you downloaded the corrected audio from https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmKCN6jvYsvCkiyRhKhjqUytclY4

it was tweaked via the compression method mentioned earlier (not the FX route). Utilize it on future projects.

See how it sounds, and works for you.

italiangen

Borate, it sounds great. Thank you.

Hi Italiangen

Amplify and compress at the same time. I felt it sounded better.

Clip on the timeline
Click the FX box on the Audio Track and select Amplify
set the cursor line to the start of the clip and enter 315 in the Gain% box.
Click the Green + and select Compressor effect
Set the following values ....Threshhold 0 Ratio 1 Limit 2

The questions now become audible but the answers are not overly loud. See what you think

Nat
