Simplify FFmpeg amerge and volume customization

Question

I have 3 consecutive FFmpeg commands that will customize the volume of an audio, customize the volume of a video, and amerge audio and video to a final output.

First command, edit volume level of a mp3 File

  ffmpeg -i music.mp3 -vol 100 music2.mp3

Second command, edit volume level of a mp4 file

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vol 200 video2.mp4

Third command,merge music2.mp3andvideo2.mp4

ffmpeg -i music2.mp3 -i ruby.mp4 -filter_complex \
    "[0:a][1:a]amerge,pan=stereo:c0<c0+c2:c1<c1+c3[out]" \
    -map 1:v -map "[out]" -c:v copy -c:a libfdk_aac -shortest video2.mp4

Is there an easy way to simplify and breakdown processes into just one process/command?

I've tried this one, but not working:

ffmpeg -i music.mp3 -vol 100 -i video.mp4 -vol 200 -filter_complex \
    "[0:a][1:a]amerge,pan=stereo:c0<c0+c2:c1<c1+c3[out]" \
    -map 1:v -map "[out]" -c:v copy -c:a libfdk_aac -shortest output.mp4

One command to bind them

You can do this in one command using the volume audio filter instead of the old -vol option (as mentioned by your console output):

ffmpeg -i music.mp3 -i videowithaudio.mp4 -filter_complex \
"[0:a]volume=0.390625[a1];[1:a]volume=0.781250[a2]; \
 [a1][a2]amerge,pan=stereo:c0<c0+c2:c1<c1+c3[out]" \
-map 1:v -map "[out]" -c:v copy -c:a libfdk_aac -shortest output.mp4

You may have to adjust the values for volume.

Don't worry – you can ignore this message.

could not choose their formats

[AVFilterGraph @ 0x26549a0] The following filters could not choose their formats: Parsed_amerge_3
Consider inserting the (a)format filter near their input or output.

All inputs must have the same sample rate and format for amerge. If they are different then you will have to use the aformat audio filter:

ffmpeg -i music.mp3 -i videowithaudio.mp4 -filter_complex \
"[0:a]aformat=sample_fmts=fltp:sample_rates=44100:channel_layouts=stereo,volume=0.5[a1]; \
 [1:a]aformat=sample_fmts=fltp:sample_rates=44100:channel_layouts=stereo,volume=0.8[a2]; \
 [a1][a2]amerge,pan=stereo:c0<c0+c2:c1<c1+c3[out]" \
-map 1:v -map "[out]" -c:v copy -c:a libfdk_aac -shortest output.mp4
