Envelope Tool - Is this possible?

Post by messias80 » Sun Jun 05, 2011 9:59 pm

i have 2 stereo tracks.
Track 1 is the original audio (english)
Track 2 is the translation of the audio into another language.

I'm modifying the volume of the original audio in some parts using the envelope tool so the translation (track 2) audio can be heard loudly.
but it takes a lot of time to add control points to the original file to increase and decrease the volume especially if the audio is 1 hour long.


is there a way to do this quicker?
i was thinking if is it possible to do this using edit->select and then a press a key to modify the volume (envelope tool) at the selection on another track.

for example.
if i select from second 7 to 9 on TRACK 1,
can i decrease the volume using the envelope tool at the exact seconds (7 to 9) but on another track, for example TRACK 2?

There's a tool called "Auto Duck."
