Extracting audio for re-equalising.

[Mike2003]

One one of my AV's I want to change the equalisation on my voice over. If my voice track was one continuous track it would be easy. I'd take it back into Audacity and re-equalise the sound and drop it back into PTE, but as a result of editing in PTE my sound track is split into many, many segments and in some cases I have removed words and sentences. As well as altering relative sound levels. Is there any way I can do this without starting again in Audacity and repeating the whole editing process in PTE?

You can Export the whole sound track as a single WAV or MP3 using the Timeline Options.

You could equalise the resulting file in Audacity and replace the existing sound track with the output from Audacity.

Hi,

not sure to understand but if you used PTEAV Studio to split the original audio clip into many segment, just modify the original clip in audacity.

Thanks for the feedback. I would like to be able to apply the new equalisation to the voice track only. Not the fx or music tracks. Is it possible to export just a specific track, my example the track I use for  the voice over? I have looked and cannot see how.  

As for modifying the original track in Audacity, yes I could do that with master voice track but I cannot see how it can then be dropped back into PTE to replace an audio track which has been split into segments as part of the editing process.  

I have attached a screen shot showing how my voice track is split into segments by editing in PTE.

Hi Mike 2003

A couple of screen shots of the original waveform in PTE, one of what has happened & one of what you see in Audacity may help to fathom out what has happened.

Hi Mike, PTE does not physically edit the File, all changes are virtual.

Simply equalise your existing File in Audacity and save it as the same name. (make a copy first just in case)

Next Time you open PTE it will pick up the new equalised version & all of the edits done in PTE will still apply.

Thanks Jill. I'll try that out . Watch this space.

 It doesn't seem to work. I select the first segment and do the 'replace' track. It just seems to change the  first segment.  I have attached the screen shot. You can see PTE has changed the first segment but left the other segments  un touched.

Hi rosy. Not ignoring you but wanted to explore Jills suggestion. 

[Mike2003]

Started experimenting following Jills post and my first experiment in the previous post.  It looks as if you have to do a replace audio file for each segment. Seems to work but a bit long winded, especially if you have a lot of segments as I do in this particular AV..

Hi Mike, I said to save it as the same name.

Your existing file is Take7a so save the re-equalised file as Take7a.

Ah I missed that key point.  But it still seemed to work my long winded way!

Yes it will do.

Another way is to rename the Take7a to something like Take7aOld or move it to different folder so that PTE not find it & will say there is a missing file.
You then point it to the replacement File Take8a & it will replace all the files in one go.

That sounds like a better way of doing it.
