Audio track fade in.

[BuZZarD]

Ok, I have read just about every post in the forums and one of them refers to my problem.
I set the audio track to fade in (set for 3 seconds in file/preferences/edit tab/ default audio fade in/out).
I have the 'rubberband' set from 0 - 100 volume over that 3 seconds on the audio clip (which is seperated usin the split audio option in the video).
In audio, in music/voice, I have the in fade button clicked.


Where the rubberband is, it is represented by a black line that slopes up to the red line. The redline is consistent in the middle from begining to end.

Whyat on earth am I missing????

Don't really know what your missing beause you haven't actually told us what your problem is.

I am guessing that you are finding that your audio track does not actually fade in - to hear any changes which you make to your clips you must play in 'PROJECT' mode - playing the 'clip' will not show the changes.

Can you confirm what your actual problem is - and that you are replaying in project mode.

The central red line represents the overall volume of the clip as it was when it was placed in the timeline. There will, of course, be variations in the volume throughout the clip: some parts, indeed, may be too loud, and some too soft; and some not needed altogether. But that is what the program 'sees'. As you are already aware, it is the median 100% in the volume control. If a black line appears anywhere below the median red line, it obviously indicates that the volume covered by that space, has been lowered; and conversely, where the black line appears above the red line, the volume is higher than it originally was when you placed it in the timeline. That is the whole point of rubber banding. You can stretch the 'rubber band' below or above the median line in various parts of your clip to compensate for the original audio level; or else to, say, quieten the original audio for a voiceover in one of the other audio tracks; or, say, to allow background music to predominate except in chosen spots...

But as Brian has already said, I too am not certain what your problem is. I am also not certain why you used both the rubber band and the fade-in volume control when either one would be sufficient.

If I am understanding your post correctly, you have chosen the Fade In button and also adjusted the Rubber Banding, but your music is not fading in? Think of the Fade In as an automatic control and the Rubber Banding as a manual control. Actually, by applying both might be your problem. Try using one or the other and see if you get your desired results (you may have to re-insert your clip to undo what you have already done).

THx guys, I was previewing the clip and not the project.
All works fine.
Cheers.
