Basics Audio Gain and Soloing tracks takes a fast look at how audio gain and using the Solo feature on tracks can work together.

Hi, this is Margaret from Noble Desktop. Today we will be looking at an introduction to audio gain and soloing tracks. This is mute and this is solo. You can mute a tracklist to the other track or you can solo a track. Let's just solo the track. I'm going to just hear the interview for solo.
For every page, let's look at the Audio Level. Things not only look good but they read well too. The waveforms indicate gain and this line indicates volume. This is your volume level; this is the level that could be called the output level. Now I'm just going to actually write 0 up here in my effects control where volume is just so that it's balanced as it was. The waveforms represent the level that this was recorded at.
Small waveforms I'm going to think that it's been recorded at a higher level. Meaning whatever you're using as an external audio source, be it a camera or be it a zoom recorder or a DAT recorder, they could have been recorded at a higher level. I'm to press the letter G, and I'm going to adjust the gain by 6 DBS by 6 decibels. Now that's when I press OK look what happens to the waveforms; they get larger.
Why didn't I just move the line up to increase the volume? The main reason is that working with gain first is better at preserving the audio quality. So it's better to start from where it began and how it was recorded. Now let's listen to it and keep your eye on the audio meters for every page.
In college, I got a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design. Maybe this music can be lowered just a smidge. I'm going to save minus two. I got a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design. They taught me print, but I wanted to learn web design. It was a pretty nice level. I did a summer internship soloing tracks and the basics of gain.
There's going to be an entire video on gain versus volume and also if you might have noticed when I pressed G you had other options here which we will be going over in an upcoming video.
I hope you've enjoyed this introduction to audio gain and soloing tracks. This has been Margaret with Noble Desktop.
