Quote: Actually, I first need to know how to adjust audio of a project so volume is fairly even throughout.

Then maybe I can apply that knowledge when I combine two projects.

Have new computer and it is a joy to edit on it.

Have you found the Audio Mixing Room (F9)?

You can adjust individual clip sound levels and the whole track sound level.

Of course the best thing to do is keep your sound levels consistent in all of your projects.

There are external audio editors available, two are available on the PowerDirector timeline, just right click on the audio track > Edit Audio >

You have two choices at this point, WaveEditor or Audio Director.

WaveEditor is installed in all Powerdirector installations. Audio Director is in some versions and as a separate purchase.

Yes, thank you, I have used the Audio Mixing room. And the Wave Editor. I just have not found a way to keep all clips at the same volume. Except by laboriously checking each one out and hoping my hearing is catching it all right.

Had hoped there was a better way than depending on my hearing.

Have not been able to find ANYTHING that explains these step by step. I am able to get a fair adjustment by trial and error.

I have been placing music in the Audio 2 timeline. Is that OK??

When I click on Normalize, do I click on it for each timeline: once for voice, once for music, etc.?

B......

I would.

You might find it more efficient to PRODUCE audio as a WAV file, then normalize in http://audacity.souceforge.net. It's free.

There is a Digital level Meter that will show you a visual of the output level of your Stereo Mix.

This a relative indication of the audio level because the meter reading is affected by your volume level on your speakers.
It is a good indication if you do not change your volume on your speakers.


Scroll to Digital Level Meter.

You may need to enable your Stereo Mix.

Windows 7 - "What U Hear" Recording - Enable

A number of users have found when updating to Windows 7 that they can no longer monitor their sound output by selecting “what you hear” as an input to the level meter. Basically, the feature has been disabled in Windows 7. The settings given on this forum have worked for some. It may not always work, it would depend on your sound driver, but worth a look.

I do use this meter when I need a visual of the levels.
