Equalising sound

[Screwball]

I am making a video of my daughters San-Fran wedding and are adding many musical background sound tracks. The problem is that each recording has various sound levels, is there a way that I can set them all to the same volume? (In VidStudio 6). I can guess, purely by listening and adjusting the % of sound, but I would really like to be more accurate to avoid up-and-downing the volume control while watching the vid.

Hi

As your signature “Nothings Easy”

There is no way to manage the audio levels other than adjusting them individually.

There is a sound mixer that allows for Rubber banding, but you still have to listen to all video.

I would advise that before tweaking the video sound levels that you set the computers speaker/headphone levels, play an audio disc to set to a suitable level.

Have you considered setting up the various soundtracks in an audio editor such as Audacity (free) and then inserting the edited audio into X6 after setting up the individual sound levels? It may be a case of using the right tools for the job.

If the audio is connected to a video, X6 should allow you to "strip" the audio first, work on it in an audio editor and then recombine in X6. A bit tedious but will give more control than the X6 "rubber-band" method.

Hey Terfyn, great idea, as all music is already on my computer and that I have that software, should only take a couple of minutes! Thankyou.

In the VS disc creation module there is an "normalize audio" possibility. Create a disc folder and only use the audio/video file(s).
