How to map same single effect from multiple layers into one (adjustment) layer?

hey guys,

 

i total noob @ aae despite using multiple years.  looking mapping 1 effect used across multiple layers 1 layer can edit several layers @ 1 time.   make sense? 

 

for example, while using audio spectrums able change colors of spectrums - although if have multiple spectrums , want edit colors have go each layer , edit colors.  it's troublesome , take long time. 

 

i know there way edit of spectrum's colors in 1 layer instead of lets 5 example. 

 

can provide help? 

 

thank you,

ryan

that depends.  if want use same effect on every layer below in timeline, adjustment layer makes sense.

 

do want that?  every layer below adjustment layer, no exceptions?

 

personally, hardly ever use adjustment layers.  did on project i'm doing week, because intended 2 animated effects in adjustment layer affect every layer below them.
