The stand-alone version of Ozone lets you open multiple files, and it puts them in tabs. The "target" curve is retained when you switch files.

You can't do it in waveform view, because the plug-in doesn't retain the scanned spectrum sample when you switch files. Also, how would it be easier to switch files than it is to solo one track vs. the other? Just curious. Thanks for the replies, guys. The bus idea worked nicely.

Hi all. I thought I'd try Izotope's Ozone plug-in to timbre-match two tracks recorded with different kinds of mics. Its matching function requires you to sample a section of the tracks you want to match, to profile their spectrum. I have the two tracks in a multitrack session, and the plug-in is applied to the clip I want to alter (the green one in the screen shot below). I figured I'd solo the "source" track and sample it, then switch to the "target" track and sample that. But no matter what I do, the plug-in seems to get all tracks at all times; even if they're all muted. There's clearly some kind of routing problem, but I haven't found a solution yet. Anyone have an idea? Thanks!

SteveG(AudioMasters) wrote The colours don't mean anything until you make a hold selection. Well apparently they do, because if I put an EQ on a fully panned track and manipulate it, it visibly changes the spectral distribution depicted by only one of them. There should be a legend showing which color corresponds to which master channel. How is that not an omission? If there were six output channels, there'd be six colors, correct? Why bother having them if you're not going to tell us what they mean? Now I do usually EQ by ear, but because of the aforementioned tedium of centering channels while soloing, I thought I'd try using the frequency-analysis tools at hand. I attempted to try the procedure you describe, but encountered several difficulties: 1. I can't find a way to open multiple files at once in waveform view. 2. I can't find a way to create a selection range in multiple files at once, or even set a marker region in multiple files at once, in order to scan for frequency analysis. I guess I will tediously hand-enter time codes and samples in markers in each file, but that's pretty pathetic. I attempted to search the documentation for this information, but there does not appear to be any Audition-specific search function. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks. That's good to know, but still means many extra drags and clicks to accomplish a centered solo.

Thanks for that info. I'm trying to use this to roughly match EQ between two mono sources, as they play. Thus I need to be in multitrack view. I don't see why there's no legend anywhere saying what each graph color represents; that seems like a glaring omission. Also, there's a drop-down below the graph that says "Top Channel," and the default is Left. What on earth does "top" mean, when the graph traces vary widely above and below each other every millisecond?

Hi all. I thought I'd try using the frequency-analysis function to EQ two recordings of the same sounds. But the display is baffling in that it doesn't tell you which channel is depicted by each trace on the graph. Am I just overlooking it? The colors of the audio tracks aren't even represented in the frequency display, nor is there any legend to tell you which is which.

Hi all. I'm trying to match EQ between two tracks. I have them in a multitrack session, panned left & right. Yes, I can get rid of the panning manually while doing this, but I often (usually, I think) want to hear soloed tracks from both channels. Is there an option to do this that I'm missing? If not, I think this would be a useful feature. Thanks.

Hi all. I've created a 24-bit session and brought two 24-bit mono wave files in. Now I want to export it as a 24-bit stereo wave file. But under Export/Multitrack Mixdown, all the 24- and 16-bit options are greyed out. I have "Wave PCM" selected as the format. Anyone know what the deal is here? Thanks.

Thanks, Kevin. I appreciate it. Yes, that's my report. There's another guy who's basically complaining about the same thing but he describes it as wanting to turn off auto-linking. Auto-linking is one aspect of this overall problem; and if you think about it, it really is the most threatening to our work and reputations because it silently brings wrong material into your project. Anyway, I cross-linked my bugs and his in their comments. I understand the challenges developers face with an ancient, sprawling, multi-platform code base like this. In making suggestions, I'm trying to avoid those that require major re-engineering (as far as I can speculate). But this is killing the product for some of us. I don't have days and days to waste while my clients wonder WTF is going on, and opportunities slip by. Here's another clip of incorrect file relinking. This must be fixed:

Thanks for the reply, Neil. Good observations about activity in the bug forum. But still... it's pretty woefully implemented. What kind of forum won't let you edit a post? And there's no distinction between "ideas" and bug reports. And the voting mechanism is of limited value because there are so many duplicate reports.

Hi all. I accept that bugs occur (like the ridiculous no-sound bug that has plagued so many of us). But glaring design defects that go unaddressed for years are simply unacceptable, especially when we pay every month to rent this software. That money is supposed to be funding fixes and maintenance, and either that's not happening or Adobe's priorities are so detached from functional requirements of working editors that the word "pro" should be removed from the product name. I wrapped up a rough cut of a program I'm working on, used Project Manager to gather up the source files I actually used, and then color-corrected the video files and cleaned up the audio files. Then I exported them all with the exact same filenames, lengths, and characteristics. Then came time to relink the project to these color-corrected video and sweetened audio files. What should be a routine function that works flawlessly in any video-editing application appears to be totally unimagined by Adobe and unimplemented in Premiere. It's just incredible. The supposed workaround to the lack of this function is to mark all your original source files as offline and then "link media." This does not work. Premiere will pretend to relink to the new directory, but then merrily continue to use the OLD files. Talk about a recipe for professional embarrassment. And (since Project Manager does not appear to work correctly and include all the source files you used), if Premiere finds that any file is missing from your newly specified source directory, this is your workflow: At this point the only way I have to finish this project is to manually relink every file in the project, one at a time. Even ones that aren't used in any timeline. Renaming the old source directory isn't a workaround, because this dialog still results. When I tell the application to use specific sources in a specific directory, it should never never never just decide on its own to use others. NEVER. And yet that's exactly what Premiere does, without even telling you. There's no excuse for it. And yes, yes I've "filed bug reports" on this but let's face it: There is no bug-reporting mechanism. Adobe has insulted us all with an amateur-hour gripe page that it probably took an intern two hours to whip up (you can't even edit your posts). Someone at Adobe is laughing at us as we waste our time barfing out our concerns onto a Web page that's served by a Pentium 66 in a storage shed behind their parking lot.

May have lost an opportunity to have our series picked up thanks to delays from this glaring defect and other inexcusable basic-workflow failures in Premiere. And there's no real bug-reporting mechanism anymore, which is especially despicable since we're all renting this software and PAYING PER MONTH. There is no excuse. More brilliance: The Link Media dialog claims to have found some files in directories that don't exist. Look at these paths; they are nonsense:

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I want it to act only on the selection. I consider this to be the sensible default; how many times do you want to perform the same action on an absolute range of samples over and over on arbitrary files? Once again, Adobe makes the most obscure possible scenario the default. Then when you switch to "relative," the UI doesn't A. Tell you what the percentage is OF. Is it of the selection? The file? See point C below for the significance of this. B. Let you change the percentages. If these are significant, why aren't they editable? C. Show correct info. Apparently if you want the favorite to affect the whole current selection, the action has to say "relative" and be 0 to 100 percent. But that's wrong; it doesn't affect the whole file. It only affects the selection. This entire problem could have been avoided by simply having a third option in the drop-down list for the actions: "current selection." And this should be the default. I think it would be appropriate to say DUHHHHH here. So, to work around this defective UI, you have to select your whole file, start the recording, perform actions, stop the recording, and then undo everything you did to the file. That is hokey as hell, and should have no place in a piece of production software.

Hi all. I'm just trying to record a favorite to do one thing: normalize to a certain level. But it's useless because it insists on using absolute start and end times by default. If I edit the favorite and select "relative" for the start and end of the actions, the values are percentages and aren't editable. The favorite doesn't seem to do anything. WTF? I'm assuming that the un-editability of the start and end percentages is a defect, but before I file a bug report I wanted to check. The documentation says nothing about this, which is another defect. This is in Audition 11.1 on Mac OS. Thanks for any insight.

Hi all. I'm trying to use the Project Manager as I normally do when I'm mostly done with an edit: "Collect files and copy to new location" for color correction and audio post, excluding unused clips. Those are the only checked settings in the dialog. On my latest project, this fails less than a second after it starts "analyzing project." It worked fine on a different project yesterday. The one it's failing on probably has a less-complicated structure; it's pretty simple. Anybody have insights on this, or workarounds? This is Premiere Pro 12.1.2 on Mac OS 10.13.6. Thanks!

Hi all. When opening a bin, it creates a new floating window instead of opening in the project pane. It must then be herded around the screen, and even overlaps other panes when you maximize them. And I can find no way to dock them as a tab in the project pane. Is there no way to resolve this? Thanks for any insight.

Thanks for taking the time to create that answer! Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. The result is that, despite "combine shapes" being on, the new shape is subtracted from the mask; so the result looks like this: Also, this still doesn't address the problem of not being able to combine shapes by breaking apart nodes and joining them.

Switching the ellipse-tool mode to "path" did indeed make it work as expected on the mask layer. Thanks! But... Merge Shape Components doesn't work. In fact, both shapes simply disappear if I use it after "Combine Shapes" (as depicted below). If I use it without doing "Combine Shapes," it has no discernible effect at all. Making them overlap didn't help either.

Hi all. I've encountered a hassle trying to perform routine operations on paths on a vector mask. I have an image of a car part that I'm cleaning up with a vector mask. I've encountered two major problems: 1. If I use a shape tool (like the Ellipse tool, to draw a perfect circle), the shape isn't added to the mask; it goes on its own layer and I can find no way to change this behavior. How do you draw particular shapes on a vector mask? 2. If I draw two paths and want to combine them to create a larger area, I can't find any way to do it. I found the "Combine Shapes" operation under a toolbar button, but if I select both paths and select this option, I still can't break the shapes open and join them at any particular nodes. How do I join the shapes to create one filled (masked) area? In the example below, I want to join the two irregular shapes so I can fill in the area between them. Thanks for any insight.
