Voice Over

If a project has a background music track and a narrative track with voice comments, it is often necessary to adjust the audio volume of music and voice. This tool easily solves this challenge. It automatically lowers the volume of music whenever a voice event exists in a narrative track, or raises the volume of the voice against the music - whichever is needed - by creating a volume envelope on the selected audio track. The level of volume, the curve type, the placement, and fade in and fade out times can be controlled.

Options

• Affected Track: Specify the affected track for which the audio volume is to be adjusted. Typically, this is a music track for which the audio volume will be lowered. However, a voice track can also be selected to have its volume raised.
• Route to Bus: If checked, the affected track will be routed to a specified bus. Any volume changes will be applied to the bus, instead of to the track.
• Audio Volume: Enter the value of the desired level of audio volume that should be applied to the affected track.
• Voice Track: Selects the voice track from the drop-down list.
• Fade In: Enter the amount of time it takes for the volume envelope to transition from the present volume setting to a new volume setting (which is specified in the Audio Volume control).
• Fade Out: Enter the amount of time it takes for the volume envelope to restore the volume level back to its previous volume setting.
• Fade In Type: Determines the curve type used by the Fade In.
• Fade Out Type: Determines the curve type used by the Fade Out.
• Placement: Determines where the volume envelope begins to transition: Outside, Center, Inside.
• Loop Region / Timeline Selection: Applies volume changes to the timeline selection (or loop region).
• Preview / Undo / Apply / Close: These buttons allows the settings to be applied, the results previewed, and undoing any change (if the result is unsatisfactory). To accept the changes, click the Close button after applying the options.
