Remove audio track, record voice over, unlock audio tracks in Sony Vegas Movie Studio

[werjustnumbers]

does anybody know how you play both audio tracks at the same time. at minute 3.45 in this video when the voice track is added, you can no longer hear the other track in the background.

i have made a video of myself talking. does anybody know how i can add a track of music to the video but still hear what i was talking about in this same video and at the same time? please?

much appreciated

[guerillabill]

@werjustnumbers Put the background music on a separate audio track, and use a volume envelope to reduce the volume of that track when the narration starts. You can see how to do this in my YouTube video, 'Using volume envelopes in Sony Vegas Movie Studio'

[23rdHokage]

This is what I need!! Thank you saaaahh much bro :}

[RichUncleOyster]

thanks a ton!!!

[GamerDudeJustin91st]

Thank you. Your video was very helpful. =]

[KahlilaCharles]

Thank you thank you thank you ssssoooo much ^_^

[JTFIFA7]

how do u keep the audio and speak loader over the audio?

[guerillabill]

@JTFIFA7 Mute the original audio track, then find an unused audio track, and arm it for recording. Then record the new narration.

Or if you just want the original audio track louder, use an volume envelope and push the volume up.

[diegorubio09]

thank you sir, finally i can add other song :D

[royallie]

hi, how do you make the audio volume increase at certain points?

like after you finish recording your speech, you want the music to increase again.

[guerillabill]

@royallie See my YouTube video, 'Quick way to draw audio volume settings in Sony Vegas Movie Studio'

[KillaDsquad]

Ty yo.

[FYPNLP]

thank you. You're a star

[Utkarshbboy]

Genius!!!

[xlawlzyourfacex]

THANK YOU.

[DCollinsFilms]

where do u get the audio?

[guerillabill]

@DCollinsFilms I get royalty free audio libraries from Digital Juice, and also find them on eBay

[IBringIt666]

@guerillabill Is it possible to add a voice over to a song? For example can I add vocals from one video to a separate instrumental video?

[guerillabill]

@IBringIt666  Yes, you can add additional audio tracks and line them up with existing audio tracks. And you can detach audio tracks from video tracks and copy just the audio or video track and add to another project or production.

[Coffeeandasliceolife]

Thanks. I found this really useful for one of my videos. Take care.

[KillerrWhale]

how do i connect my microphone?

[guerillabill]

@KillerrWhale Plug it into your computer. Either the USB port for USB microphones, or the microphone in port on the audio card.

[KillerrWhale]

@guerillabill i mean into the program

[guerillabill]

@KillerrWhale Use Windows Control Panel, choose 'sound', 'recording', then set the microphone as the default microphone. After you do that, Movie Studio will use that microphone as the microphone when you arm for record.

[KillerrWhale]

@guerillabill thanks soomuch



[Pulkadrage]

@KillerrWhale PFFF HAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHHAHA Funniest time of my life until i read ur other comment!!

[QUIFFGaming]

[Pearlgirl15]

[lemler33]

[kimnig]

Thank you, that helped!

[killscoped]

[Georg0rb]

[muffinbrainy]

[guerillabill]

@muffinbrainy  Yes, this works in Movie Studio 10 free trial.

[TheGTbmxer]

@muffinbrainy is there even a vegas movie studio 10?

[Pearlgirl15]

@TheGTbmxer yeah there is....

[muffinbrainy]

@TheGTbmxer yeah theres even 11 now

[TheGTbmxer]

@muffinbrainy i know, i have 11!

[TheCavagnin]

I'm having problems with the voice over. I use the video arm, then the record button but the recording goes over the music track as well instead of staying on a track of its own and sometimes it will play back and sometimes not.

[kakashi02saidHOTKOF1]

thx dude it helped me

[EvilSidez]

"I have a question.. I stopped making videos for a while and so I didn't use Sony Vegas much but I most recently tried making them again with commentaries and when I record my voice for audio it doesn't work, the mics are plugged in and it works on everything else but sony vegas.. so if somehow muted the voice or something for recording how could I unmute it for narration?"

[guerillabill]

@EvilSidez Open Windows Control Panel. Choose Sound, click recording, set a default recording device (microphone).

That device will then become available in Sony Movie Studio.

[EvilSidez]

@guerillabill Does it work for Sony Vegas 9.0

[guerillabill]

@EvilSidez Yes, works in all versions of Vegas Pro and Movie Studio.

[EvilSidez]

@guerillabill alright where is the "control panel for sony vegas"

[guerillabill]

@EvilSidez Not the control panel for Sony Vegas.  The Windows Control panel is where you set the default microphone for recording. Once the default microphone is set, it will show in Vegas as the recording microphone, when you arm for record.

[EvilSidez]

@guerillabill I mean.. the audio works for everything but sony vegas, I've tried it on other programs and it works fine.

[RidSnore]

Your tutorials are very helpful. Thank you. I was trying to record my voice as you describe, it didnt work. My microphone is in the webcam, it's not picking up my voice. How do I fix this problem? Thanks

[guerillabill]

@RidSnore Open Windows Control Panel. Choose Sound, click recording, set a default recording device (microphone).

That device will then become available in Sony Movie Studio.

[musicsmc]

thank you

[ps3bmfclancommunity]

how can remove the vocal but still keep the background sound ? wanna make a voice over with the background sound -_- i use vegas pro 10

[cRDaarK]

My audio line is gone and I don't know how to get it back!

please respond!

[guerillabill]

@cRDaarK If the audio track is still there, you can turn on audio waveforms using Ctrl Shift W

[cRDaarK]

@guerillabill The audio track is not there :/

[guerillabill]

@cRDaarK If you have deleted the track, re-import the video to make sure it had an audio track. If the video is mp4, you might have to apply a patch to get the mp4 file to work properly.

[NikoBellicSerbia30]

@guerillabill i suddenly clicked "track FX . . ." and putted audio or voice console upper where is "Video FX , Transition etc." How to remove from there ? I click on him and cannot remove . :/

[guerillabill]

@NikoBellicSerbia30 Put mouse pointer on the vertical row of dots in the tabbed window, and drag the window to wherever you want it to appear on the Vegas Window

[NikoBellicSerbia30]

@guerillabill aha , its worked . Thank you :D

[foreverkhin]

wow, ur tutorials have really helped me ALOT. i tot that this software was dificult to use but u made me realize its not :) thanks so much! pls keep making more of these tutorials!! :D

[guthixXXL]

uhm... i use Vegas Movie Studio 9 and I don't have the "arm for record" button and that front part my microphone works I checked and double-checked it by "Sound" any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

[guerillabill]

@guthixXXL Arm for record is only enabled if you have selected a microphone for recording in the Windows Control panel.

[guthixXXL]

@guerillabill aaah ok thanks i had to re-open Sony Vegas and then it worked.

[Sobremaria1]

My bestie doesnt know how to delete her her video but keep the voice. She doesnt have any record stuff so any advise?

[guerillabill]

@Sobremaria1 If you ungroup the audio from the video as shown in the clip above, you can then delete the video track, without deleting the audio track. Just right click on the video track and choose delete.

[Sobremaria1]

@guerillabill Thanks my bestie uses Windows Live Movie Maker but we got it now thanks ;)

[VanessaCovers]

I would like to know, how I select just a little part of my audio

for example, and like change that part that I selected like the volume and etc,

how I select just one part that I want, without select or change everything.

You know what I mean?

TY

[guerillabill]

@VanessaCovers You can easily change the volume on any part of the audio track using a volume envelope.

See how to do this in my video, 'Using volume envelopes in Sony Vegas Movie Studio '

[VanessaCovers]

@guerillabill OMG You save my life, Thank you so much, really!!

[kalakalachuchu]

What mic your using?

[guerillabill]

@kalakalachuchu Sennheiser PC 151 headset.

[XxMasyiahxMvz]

i dont know how to delte an audio track every time i try to right click it says delte but it wont

[guerillabill]

@XxMasyiahxMvz Right clicking in the audio track removes the audio clip from the track. If you remove the entire audio track, put the mouse in the far left control area of the track and right click and select delete there.

[XxMasyiahxMvz]

@XxMasyiahxMvz do u know how to get the screen back on where u can preview whatuve done?

[MagnumTorch00]

thanks

[kCzxFinest]

stop speeding,lmfao

[Dvald25]

im trying to record my voice and i have my mic plugged in but when i talk it doesnt pick my sound up, how to i set it to record my mic?

[guerillabill]

@Dvald25 Use Windows Control Panel, Select 'Sounds', choose the microphone in the recording tab.

After you do that, you can use the microphone in Sony Vegas

[Dvald25]

@guerillabill thanks you very much, this was very help, nice tutoial you took it very slow and made sure it was easy to under stand

[cardcaptorsnaruto]

im trying to record i have my mic set up and ready to go but for some reason i click it but it just keeps unclicking and it wont let me record at all i dont know why it wont let me record at all

[guerillabill]

@cardcaptorsnaruto Make sure you have set up a record device in Windows control panel, and then make sure have selected that device as the record device in Sony Vegas.

[cardcaptorsnaruto]

@guerillabill i set it up and it finally works thank you so much for the help

[shalah1275]

for some reason the program locked me out of that feature.it wont delete the unwanted noise

[hjagarci]

how do you pause a video and still be able to record your voice?

[guerillabill]

@hjagarci Do you want the video be remain paused as you narrate? If so, move to an unused section of the timeline and record the narration. Then go to where you want the video to pause, and click the 'capture screen photo' icon in the preview window. Drag that photo on the timeline and extend it for how long you want the video to be paused. Then drag the audio you recorded so it appears under the 'paused' video photo.

[hjagarci]

@guerillabill Thank you very much, that was exactly what I was looking for.

[HaligonianType1]

It sucks, because I am a technician myself, but I know little about editing, so it's extremely frustrating.

[HaligonianType1]

I have a problem. When I recording my video I was also listening to an MP3 song on my stereo being sung by a friend of mine. She was singing the Foolish Games cover. So you can hear it quite well in my video. Thus it is a single audio track. I want to remive her singing from it, but keep my voice in it so I don't have any copy right issue. I have eben trying all day using the noise removal feature in Audacity to no avail. I can get some, but not all of it removed. Am I SOL?

[guerillabill]

@HaligonianType1 You probably won't be able to remove singing from an entire audio track and still keep your voice in it. Too many different tones.

[HaligonianType1]

@guerillabill Yea, I figured I would be SOL. :P Thank you for the reply.

[jbieberwood]

How did you get all clips in one without pressing s for split?

[lepy277]

when i record audio tracks it shows up but when i play it back i cant here anything... i never had any problems like this before and there is no way to fix it that i can find do u have any tips?

[guerillabill]

@lepy277 If the audio track shows on the timeline, but you can't hear it when it plays back, make sure you haven't pressed the mute button on the audio track

[WirelessStudios]

THANK YOU. Btw u guys u c the little video preview window in sony vegas dont make it really big or ull have to download vegas all over again.

[mrsbellaray]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[BacteroidGetToKnow]

how do you make a certain part in a video reverse and the other part normal ?

[guerillabill]

@BacteroidGetToKnow Use Split to split the event to be reversed. This leaves it on the timeline, just as a separate event that you can apply reverse to.

[selenaisawsome]

THANKYOU!!!!ive been trying to audition for a part in a trailer for my friends new series and i have a webcam and my laptop is stupid haha and i still didnt no how to do a voice over!

[LDP555]

Thankyou!!

[nintendoman360]

how do i choose which mic to use

[MangoMuzic]

PLEASE HELP! I make music videos and I just got sony vegas to edit and I try to record music off of youtube, not off of the outer computer like me talking...How do I do that?

[xxCODfan95xx]

there is no red button for me to record! please help!

[guerillabill]

@xxCODfan95xx As shown in the above video, you have to first arm the track to record, then the red button appears

[xxCODfan95xx]

@guerillabill thanks man

[Mon732]

Thats an easier way to ungroup video and audio than what I was doing. I was adding a new audio track then moving the audio onto that track then deleting the audio track leaving the video, I then did the same with the video to get the audio and video separate.

[djenigma21]

ty for the input!

[supersaintsfan31]

I have my mic plugged in, but when i click arm for record it doesnt do anything. Please help!

[guerillabill]

@supersaintsfan31 Be sure you have set which microphone to use in Windows Audio settings, as Sony Movie Studio uses whatever microphone you have set in Windows.

Then after clicking the arm for record button, click the red 'record audio' button to start recording audio as shown at 3:00 in the video.

[Bluemilli]

thank you sooooo much loads of help!!!!

[potterfan74]

Say I wanted to separate the vocal part of a video clip and keep the vocal part to be used in another project, would the process be the same in reverse (delete the video instead of audio) or is there another way to do this?

[guerillabill]

@potterfan74 Yes, just delete the video. Then use 'render as' to render the audio to .wav file.

This doesn't affect the original video clip. It will retain the audio file.

[zenchestnuts]

Hi Bill thanks for the tip. It was bugging me I couldn't remove it. Its a lot easier in pinnacle studio but then that has its other problems. Buy the way on the strength of this I bought your 101 tips dvd. Look forward to that.

Stephen

[lisiforeva]

thank you sooo much

[Magickillababy]

You think you could tell me what to do when they block the audio from my vid?

[guerillabill]

What do you mean by 'they block the audio'?

Who is 'they'?

[GAM156]

Help!!! Please!! I keep getting a message saying ' An error occurred while recording.

An unsupported media type was requested' Is there anyone that could Please Help me?

[xiTzBaSiiCz]

Thanks! :) I will be doing Sony Vegas Editing tutorials too.

btw guys just a note if you ever slow down a clip remember to right click audio>>>>properties>>>>>lock to stretch

[Chandlah]

How can you change the mic youre using for recording a voice over?

I can't find it

[guerillabill]

Vegas uses whatever microphone you have set as the voice recorder in Windows sounds and audio devices.

To change the microphone, change the settings in the Windows control panel, Sounds and Audio Devices.

[Chandlah]

thanks man i appreciate it

[BiLLyDaCWalkeR]

I rly needed to take otut he voice n u helped Thank YOu dude! =)

u helped me Heaps!! :)

apreciate this :D

[XenomexTutorials]

wow, i never knew you could voice over using Vegas.

I used to record my voice over with audacity and playback the video project and save>import to vegas. This will save me alot of time, thanks.

[johannes914]

I had to do that same "ungroup" yesteday and I took me 10 minutes untill I discovered that hidden menu ...

Great video as always ...

[gmxonline]

Great tip, as usual. Thanks, Bill!

[albmab]

Thank you! I have been wondering if it was possible. Thanks!

[Danerd9]

omg. thnk u. i hate it. it makes the time line longer.

[BionTimeWorks]

When I record the audio with Vegas it will sometimes restart my computer. How come that happens?

[guerillabill]

Check your Windows Audio settings. Reset the audio recording device. Or use a different microphone. USB microphone will give best results.

[drumguitar101]

-OR- You can drag your audio into a brand new created track and then delete that track with only the audio in it..if that makes sense

[guerillabill]

If you do that, it will delete your video track.

I just tried as you suggested, and it deleted the video track.

[drumguitar101]

its hard to explain

-i will try to make a tutorial asap

your work is amazing

[steve3416]

Actually that's the way I've been doing it too but your way is a lot better. When you do drag the audio track down onto another track, you then have to highlight the new audio track you moved, so it will then dehighlight the video track and old audio track it was on, then you can delete it.

I learned something new. Thanks

[selliesane]

omg thank you so much u rock!

[spritemoney]

this is REALLY useful, thanks

[andrewcox123]

Thanks again Bill!
