Expression "Both Channels" missing

[jakobm50032302]

Hey there,

i am using the expression 

x = thisComp.layer("Audio").effect("Both Channels")(1);
linear(x, 20,40, 0, 5)

the error i get is: "Error: effect named ´Both Channels´ is missing or does not exist. It may have been renamed, moved, deleted or the name may have been mistyped"

any ideas what the problem could be? What could be the replacement?

When you renamed your layer from "Audio Amplitude" to "Audio",

you might have left a space after the 'o' in "Audio "

hey, thanks for answering here as well.

No space that i could find, after effects just tells me that "Both Channels" is missing. (Deletet the ";" at the end of the first line, sadly didnt help)

Have you tried using the pick whip to get the correct path for the 'Both Channels' effect?
You should get into the habit of putting a ; at the end of each line/instruction,
it helps avoid problems.

Is your audio mono maybe? (In which case it wouldn't have a "Both Channels" slider).

Maybe your are using a non-english version of Ae and you need to replace "Both Channels" by the name shown in your UI?
