  RE: Acid Pro 10: Pan/Volume control on MIDI track
  Yeah, midi is a real pain. In another DAW beginning with A the best thing it ever did was make the whole midi process a lot simpler, and as such got a lot of support early on. Pan CC works, for example, and midi learning is really as easy as can be

  Has anyone got sidechaining to work successfully?
  No matter what I try, I cannot get sidechained VSTs to export correctly, rendering the feature useless. For example: 1. Add a VST (I mostly use Serum which I'm paying via splice for) and use MIDI to create a synth line 2. Add a kickdrum channel with

  RE: Adding text where I want it on the timeline
  @CubeAce Hi Ray, Was that your answer to what you meant by "control automation ... on effects controls?" MEP does not do MIDI, thus no MIDI controls. VPX has MIDI Time Control only, but that is for linking to Samplitude using LoopBe1 to be able to

  RE: Adding text where I want it on the timeline
  @hdrechsel18 For ducking, as John EB mentioned, you may have to modify the points a bit. I do my narration straight into MEP (actually VPX). For my tutorials, I make a script, then try to capture whatever is required to follow the script, find that

  RE: Adding text where I want it on the timeline
  I tried the "ducking" feature a couple times, but wasn't happy with the way it sounded - a little too mechanical - but maybe a little more tweaking would have helped. For some reason, I get intimidated using a USB mic in front of my project (lol). I

  RE: Adding text where I want it on the timeline
  @hdrechsel18 Hi . . . . audio tracks are automated (volume). Do you prefer to do this with the mixer automation? I usually display the volume curve on an audio track, place my markers, then pull down / or move up as needed . . . . I used the same

  RE: Adding text where I want it on the timeline
  @hdrechsel18 Honestly, I never use volume automation with the Mixer; I just show people that it exists and how to do it. I do use object volume curves a lot because if I have to move the object, the volume curve comes with it. I was always putting

  RE: VPX12 New Version now out - New Features - Old bugs?
  @johnebaker You are correct, but of course, it would depend on the material. I would usually correct volume levels first before mixing down. As well, normalize is to be used judiciously and not blindly. I have an example of 4 audio clips of a walk

  RE: ACID Pro 10 - public beta for update-patch is available (10.0.2.20)

  RE: Lowering volume of MAIN audio track to allow another to predominate
  @Richard-Curtis When I do narration, I usually end up with many audio clips, and then just do ducking one by one. I also may have to modify the volume of the narration object itself for plosives. An alternative is turning on automatic volume

  RE: Lowering volume of MAIN audio track to allow another to predominate
  It's a mystery to me that MEP doesn't have a true "auto ducking" feature that damps the sound on a background track in favour of what's happening on the main audio track. I don't know about other programs, but both Pinnacle Studio and Videopad have

  RE: Lowering volume of MAIN audio track to allow another to predominate
  I saw your screen shot. Did you first apply Damping to a trimmed clip and then extend it as you showed in one of your other posts? That is about the only way to get the result that you show. Either that or you moved something. It would help you

  RE: Lowering volume of MAIN audio track to allow another to predominate
  @FF22 It's normally called "Ducking" but Magix calls it "Damping" in the manual. Search for "Damping" and read what it says to better understand. See the image below. I wanted the music on track 4 to be reduced while the selected clip plays.
