Cut sound – Working with objects 57
www.magix.com
• You can also move, cut and edit your speech recordings
retroactively via the object handles to remove undesired noise or
mishaps. The voice over dialog can remain open while doing so, but
you have to click "Update" after making changes to objects in the
second track in order to adjust the volume curve.
Note: To move objects, the "Lock all objects" option must be
deactivated. Under certain circumstances, sound and video
might become out of sync if you move certain audio objects.
What's important is that you cut out longer speech pauses during
which the video sound should not be lowered because the voice over
function does not check how loud an audio object is, but only if one
exists on the second track. Alternatively, you can record each speech
passage separately and only shorten the beginnings and ends of the
recording.
The opposite way is possible too! You can load audio material,
background music or sounds, etc. into the second track and fade it
out whenever there is original sound in the video. To do so, select
"Background music/original audio is on track 2". You must cut out
all passage from the video sound that are not required her too. In the
original situation, i.e. the original sound as a single complete audio
object, the music would be faded out during the entire length. In this
context, the Remove pauses (view page 97) function in the "Edit"
menu is useful.
Since the video sound must not be moved, make sure that the
"Lock all objects" option is activated.
