There are many programs for playing video, and the methods for selecting the audio track vary. In some players, the settings are intuitive, in others - everything is not so obvious. Therefore, we will select the most popular players and describe in detail how to change audio tracks in them.
Windows Media Player. One of the most common players has rather limited functionality. In some cases, you will not be able to switch the track - in this case, download and install a more advanced player. But still, try pressing Ctrl + S after starting the video. This will stop playback. Right-click on the player screen and select Sound & Duplicated Tracks. There should be a list of voices here. Oddly enough, Windows Media Player needs to be restarted for every track switch. VLC Media Player. Right-click on the player screen, select the "Audio" - "Audio track" option. Select the desired track from the list of tracks provided. Another way is to go to the "Audio" section of the player, which is at the top of VLC, find "Audio" and set the track. Media Player Classic (MPC). Go to the "Play" tab, find "Audio" and set the track. An even easier way is to right-click on the player's screen, point to Audio from the list of options and select a track. Light Alloy. Press Shift + A and you will find yourself in the sound settings. At the very bottom of the window, select a track from the drop-down list. By right-clicking on the speaker icon on the player screen, you can also select a track - they will all be displayed at the very bottom of the list of sound settings. BSPlayer. This player is notable for the fact that it itself detects and installs the missing video codecs for normal playback. To change the track, right-click on any area of the player, designate "Audio" - "Audio streams", and then the track marked as "stream". KMPlayer. To change the track, press the CTRL + X combination or right-click on the player and select "Audio" - "Select stream" - the desired stream.
As you can see from the article, changing the audio track is quite simple. The exception is simple programs with weak functionality, for example, Windows Media Player, or limited to work with audio files, such as Winamp. Remember to keep your players up to date and download the latest video codec sets to avoid problems with playback and audio settings.
V recent times A considerable number of films, especially versions processed from a DVD or Blu-ray source, may contain 2 or more audio versions. A high-quality duplicate translation is standardly supplemented by the original, and sometimes by several versions from enthusiasts or other professional translation and dubbing studios. The simple viewer only benefits from such a variety, because now there is a choice - you can listen to sometimes "insipid" dubbing or savory Goblin style. Most often, to change the audio track in KMPlayer, it is enough to use the CTRL + X keyboard shortcut, all other options are discussed in more detail later in the article.
Types of audio tracks
The sound, or audio track, is of two types - built-in and external. The first is a more convenient option, because all the voiceovers available in the video are "wired" into one file and switch faster. The second, on the other hand, makes it more convenient to distribute the translation among users, although video and sound synchronization is required for different files, it is connected not much slower.
Adding an external audio track
Launch the desired video file and pause it. Click RMB in the active KMPlayer window → "Open" → "Load external audio track". Next, you need to find (usually located in the folder with the movie itself) and select the audio file that we want to connect as an audio track, then click "Open". After completing this procedure, two options are possible: either the external track will connect itself and become active, or it should appear in one of the lists of the "Filters" item (it will become available after clicking RMB in the active KMPlayer window) and you will need to select it already there.
How to change the built-in audio track
The built-in audio track is changed in the "Filters" item (it will become available after clicking RMB in the active KMPlayer window). Then there are two options, depending on the default splitter. If Matroska is active, then you should look for a list called "KMP Matroska Reader", if LAV Splitter - we are looking for an item with a corresponding name, there will be a list of available audio tracks with the ability to select the option you need.
Russian audio tracks by default
In the latest versions of KMPlayer, a rule is hard-coded in the settings that gives priority to voice acting on English language... As a result, you have to switch tracks yourself every time. This rule can and should be changed. To do this, go to the player's settings using the F2 hotkey. In the vertical block on the left we find the item "Subtitle processing" and select the sub-item "Languages / Speech". Next, we edit the line "Preferred subtitle language", in the end there should be two words rus ru. In other words, we have made it so that audio tracks containing the abbreviations rus or ru have priority over the rest. To set a different priority of languages, for example, Russian, Japanese, English, one could write rus jpn eng. Now it remains to click the "Close" button at the bottom right of the window and the settings are saved.

Sony Vegas video editing software is like no other suitable for of this type work, moreover, even a beginner can easily master it.
So, our today's lesson will be devoted to editing audio tracks in Sony Vegas. And we'll cover four basic basic tricks.
1. Removing and replacing audio.
This technique is needed in order to replace existing audio with something else (for example, instead of drunken trills of guests at a wedding, substitute Verka Serduchka's hit or simply delete it.
Open the project, load the desired video fragment into it and drag it to the work area. If you drag this video around the work area with the mouse, you will notice that both video and audio go together inseparably. And it does not depend on whether you drag the mouse for a piece of video or for a piece of audio.
Accordingly, if you try in this case with the key DELETE delete the audio track, then the entire movie will be deleted along with the video. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to "break" the video and audio. To do this, click on the video and press the " U ". Then, dragging the video with the mouse again, you will see that it is already moving separately from the audio track. After that, we simply delete it and, if desired, put another one.
2. Change the sound level.
This technique helps to make sound jumps from loud to quiet, when at a certain moment the sound needs to be muted or, on the contrary, raised its level. So, for this we go to the menu items Insert ->AudioEnvelopes ->Volume or use hotkeys Shift + V.
Then we return to our video, or rather to the audio track that belonged to him. Double-click the mouse to place marks in the places where we will adjust the sound.
Then, by pressing these marks and moving them, you can raise or lower the level of sounds. Listen to what happened, it might be funny.
You can also make an effect that I call “ Left ear - Right ear". It assumes the sound of audio in the left speaker, then in the right. To do this, go to the menu items Insert ->AudioEnvelopes ->Pan or press the burning keys Shift + P.
Again, on the audio track, put marks in several places where we want to apply the audio effect.
And, as in the previous case, using the labels, we adjust where the audio will fall to " left ear", And where - on" right ear».
3. Special audio effects
Sony Vega s has its own set of audio effects that will help to embellish the sound of the video. To find them, go to the menu items View ->Plug-inManager .
A window opens to our eyes with a variety of audio effects for every taste.
To use one of them, you need to drag the selected one onto our audio track with the mouse and set the necessary characteristics.
4. Slow-motion sound
To "stretch" the audio sound (in English - slowmotion), you need to select the desired video, if necessary, "cut" the piece that will be edited (for this, the cursor clicks on the video in the place where you want to make the "cut", and click key " S"). And then the desired piece is pulled to the side.
And then we hold down the key CTRL and drag the video by the edge, thus stretching it. So much for slow motion and sound.
