Thank you so much! I tried it, and it works. Now just one question: What does the "fade time" in the Dip/rise box mean? and, what does the number "1" in item 9 of your instruction represent?
thanks! Solomon. At 03:00 PM 10/14/2014, you wrote:
Hi Solomon,While you could accomplish your goal with the Dip/Rise command, it would be easier to use the Mix command. Try the following:1. Open the announcement file. 2. hit Ctrl+A to Select All. 3. Hit Ctrl+C to copy the announcement on to the clipboard. 4. Now, open the music file.5. Move to the place in the music file where you wish the announcement to start.6. Hit x to open the Mix dialog. 7. Set the volume for the clipboard content to 0dB. 8. Set the destination volume to -10dB.9. Put the number 1 in the Dip/Rise time box. This is the fade time; you may prefer more or less.10. Be sure Negate the Mix is unchecked.This looks complicated, but you will get the hang of it. You could use Dip/Rise for this, but it it is more complicated and requires more steps for your specific issue.Rob -----Original Message-----From: studiorecorder-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:studiorecorder-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Solomon MekonnenSent: Tuesday, October 14, 2014 2:45 PM To: studiorecorder@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [studiorecorder] Dip and Rise command: Need a layman's instruction: Hello, Need a layman's explanation for using the Dip and Rise feature. I read the description for the Dip and rise command from the manual. I couldn't get it to work exactly as I had hoped.Say, I have a 60-second music clip . I want to insert a 20-second announcement after playing the music for fifteen seconds. How do I start the dip after the initial fifteen seconds of play and raise the music after the 20 seconds announcement? I read the following from the manual and tried it for quite sometime and couldn't get the result I was looking for. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. The Dip Rise command lets you create a simple volume curve on the selection using two points. These points indicate where to raise or lower the volume. The points are specified as a percentage, and the levels are specified in dB. You may also select the fade type. This command controls the fade time and amount of volume change by changing the volume from 0 dB at the beginning of the selection to the specified level at the first point, changing the volume to the level specified at the second point, then changing the volume back to 0 dB by the time the sound reaches the end of the selection. Imagine you had a selection that has a sound 10 dB too high at 25% of the file and the extreme sound lasts for about 50% of the file. To lower the volume for that extreme sound, use 25% as the value of the first point and-10 dB as thelevel to achieve. Now, use 75% as the value of the second point and -10 dB again as the level to achieve. This would make Studio Recorder start fading down the volume from 0 dB to -10 dB over the course of the first 25% of the selection, remain at -10 dB until 75% of the selection, then gradually rise back to 0 dB by the end of the selection. Note: the first point cannot exceed the second point, and points must range between0 and 100%, and they may be fractional.
