To try it out, go to your Video Manager, select Edit, select Enhancements, then select Audio.
From IBTimes: "In the latest update to the video-sharing site, YouTube is rolling out new audio editing tools that will make it easier for uploaders to layer several audio tracks on top of one another.
Prior to the update, YouTube offered an AudioSwap feature that let users replace a video's audio track with one of the company's thousands of licensed audio tracks.
The new update has catapulted YouTube's licensed track count to more than 150,000. The update will also give YouTube uploaders the ability to adjust volume levels on each track .
...
Prior to the latest update, users could add licensed tracks to videos, but the audio levels could not be adjusted -- it would simply replace the video's audio track.
The latest audio editing tools will be rolled out over the next few days. To try them on the video's you've uploaded, go to "edit settings" from the video manager."

Robin Good: YouTube auto-generated channels are channels that are automatically created by dedicated algorithms to collect trending and popular videos by topic.
"Auto generated channels act like user channels in that you can subscribe to them and stay updated on new videos.
In addition, auto generated channels provide:
-> The ability to subscribe and get regular updates about this topic on YouTube on your feed
-> A way to find other channels related to this topic
-> More context about this topic from Wikipedia or other sources
YouTube algorithmically determines the central topics in a video and then uses that information to develop great collections of videos for any topic of interest.
These channels do not convey any editorial opinion.

"Pebble" may be a dumb name, but it's a killer idea: a smartwatch that connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth, uses an e-ink display for long battery life, and even comes with a free SDK so devs can make their own apps for it. 
A company called Third Rail Mobility has created the most practical iPhone battery and case combo I've ever seen. |
