Can't trim beginning off audio track???

I am new to Aperture (3.0.2), so this is probably a simple question, but the problem is driving me crazy. Thanks in advance for any help!
I have a slideshow, and want to add audio. I can drag in a song (into the secondary audio track) from the audio browser, and it works fine. However, I want to trim off the first part ("boring intro") of the song. When I drag the slider at the start, it appears to work normally (like iMovie, for example), and I see the length of the song decreasing. However, when checking it is really trimming off the end of the song -- not the beginning! Is it possible to trim the beginning of the song off?

@Jeff: I have not tried this on the latest update to Aperture, but I had the exact same problems when trying out the Aperture 3 slideshows in an earlier version. It seems like a huge oversight to not include the ability to trim the beginning of a song but to include the ability to trim the end. Many songs start slowly and would often need to be trimmed.
I suggest that you submit feedback to Apple (select the "Aperture" menu item and then "Send Aperture Feedback...") on this issue, and I'll check my system tonight and submit feedback as well if I find that the issue hasn't been fixed in 3.0.2.

Can't add a new audio track without any settings

Can anyone tell me were faced with the same problem. Doing audio post production in Logic Pro X, the latest version, the project is big, At some stage the work I was faced with the fact that you can't add a new audio track without any settings, no matter what inserts I track with duplicate settings of one of the tracks and it begins to sound with this track. I don't add a new audio track with duplicate settings. I add a new one, and I still opens the track with some sort of settings. What is it? This is a glitch or I'm somewhere that we have not considered? Duplicates the configuration of one of the tracks collected in group 1, which I did for editing convenience. Duplicates and also automation and if the new track am I doing something then this machine is transferred to the existing track from this group.

Everything works in full 'Logic Pro X' mode. It's just a glitch in my project. The problem while you decide this: I insert a new track and it reset and set the output.

Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
Did you source patch the audio tracks?

Why can't I enable an audio track for recording? (It won't let me)

I want to record VO but PP won't let me...
On Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite in System Preferences:
• Sound Input is set to C-Media USB Headphone Set (an Alesis usb mic...works fine for VO in Final Cut Pro 7)
• Output is set to Headphone port
In Premiere Pro CC Audio Hardware Preferences:
• ASIO Hardware is set to "System Default Input/Output"
• I have also tried "C-Media USB Headphone Set but this, too, doesn't work
• With "System Default I/O" selected, Output Mapping is set to "Adobe Desktop Audio" (only choice), and shows:
     • "Built-in Output: Headphones 1
     • "Built-in Output: Headphones 2
     • "C-Media USB Headphone Set: Front Left
     • "C-Media USB Headphone Set: Front Right
all four of these have a couple of square icons to the right.
In order to record VO, I first need to "enable track for recording" in the Audio Track Mixer. There are no in or out points set in my timeline and the tracks are not locked or solo'd or anything. So why can't I select the audio track I want to use to record VO? I click it but there is no response. I just want to know why this software is not doing what it's designed to do.

is I learn still around -? That was VERY HANDY!

With Adobe Premier Elements 13 can I add my own audio tracks by pulling music from my files and by using my UBS microphone?

larryh
Please remind us on what computer operating system your Premiere Elements 13 is running
Using your own music.....
Yes, with important but.....
Details
If your music is from iTunes, more than likely you will get some sort of error message from the program when you try to import the iTunes music into Premiere Elements (most versions including 13). In that case, please convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes using the following iTunes instructions.
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
If you are getting program error message using Premiere Elements 13 Add Media/Files and Folder with other than iTunes music, please give the source and properties of that music.
Using USB Microphone....Not recommended by Adobe....See Adobe ReMe
Details
As for Premiere Elements narration clips using the its Narration Tool
1. Adobe documentation indicates the USB microphone do not work in Premiere Elements and suggest the use of microphones that connect to the computer via computer jack.
But, there are some scattered cases where the user has found a USB microphone that has worked for him or her.
2. Be sure to check Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings to assure that Input and Output are enabled.
3. There have been reports (Premiere Elements several versions) where addition of narration using the Narration Tool results in loss of pre-existing
sound on numbered audio track clips and soundtrack.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Audio Losses After Narration Addition
4. In my particular Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, I have found that I need to set the Mic Sensitivity all the way to the left to avoid
serious audio distortion.
I have tried to give you an overview to avoid surprises if you have not used the features that you pointed to in your thread question. Please let me know if you need further information.
Thank you.

How can I make a synced audio track match the length of selected clips in a multicam seq?

I have a continuous multicam sequence of about 13 minutes containing a synced master audio track recorded from seperate microphones. I want to rearrange scenes from it into my final sequence, but when I select a range of clips to nest the entire length of audio gets pasted into the new sequence. I want to trim the audio to match just the clips I've selected but not lose sync. Is there a way to do this or is nesting not the way to chop up a sequence and rearrange the scenes in it?
Thanks.
Mike

Me too!!! I have a multicam sequence from 2 cameras with the audio staying on camera 1. I also have a seperate, continuous audio track recorded from microphones which I have synced to the timeline. I'm trying to select a group of sequential clips of different camera angles from the timeline to create scenes which I can insert into a final sequence but in a different order from how they are on the timeline. Let's say I want to take a series of clips that start at 3:30 on the timeline and go until 4:30 on the timeline. It will contain several cuts between the different cameras and I want to use that section as the first scene of my new sequence. If I select all of the clips in that time period and nest them into a new sequence, I only get the audio from camera 1 on the new TL. If I try window selecting those clips to include the continuous audio track, I get a new TL with 3 minutes and 30 seconds of the desired audio, then the video clips, and then the rest of the audio making a 13 minute TL. I just learned, after searching around, about marking in and out points on my multicam seq. and using the trick of "LIFTing" and then "UNDOing" to keep my multiseq intact, and then pasting into a new sequence. That works, but I'm only getting the audio track from off the camera. It won't select and lift the section of the other audio track that I want. I'm rushed for time so that's the way I've ended up finishing the video for now. The camera audio is just going to have to do although the mic recording is much better. The more I try to explain this the more confused I get and I'm sure everybody reading it does too. Any ideas? Thanks!

How can I trim the main audio clip for slideshow

I have created a slideshow with photos and video. I want to add music, but would like to trim the main audio. If aperture doesn't have this feature, can I export my slide show to iMovie. What can I do?

Aperture allows for trimming the audio of any clip that you drop as background music onto the film strip. The clip appears as a green bar, and you can drag it to the place where you want the music to begin, also you can shorten/trim it by dragging the handles at the ends of the audio region.
For example:
If that does not suffice, you can use iTunes to trim the music. For any song in iTunes you can set the start and end time in the "options" pane of the Information panel. Then create a new, shorter version of the song, using the menu
Advanced -> create ... version.

How can I position my added audio track?

Hi all,
I need to have a delayed start for my added audio track.
The music should only start 30 seconds after the movie starts.
I tried to position it manually to a second movie sequence but it doesn't seem to work... it will only place itself at the beginning.
If anybody has clue?
Thanks in advance.

Apple have made background music rather simple in iMovie.
You are allowed only one track, and it just starts at the top.
I have found the only way to do this is to create multiple projects that later are assembled together as a whole.
Not the nicest solution, but it works.
Duplicate the project,
then delete the 30 seconds you want music free, and add the music track,
save this new video out to the camera roll.
Open the origonal project, delete the bit you just added music to, and insert the other video you just made.
This way you can have multiple music tracks too .
I tend to edit the whole video, and then break it into parts to add music and adjust the edits.
Then assemble all the parts again for a final output.
This is reasonably quick for small home movies.
I realise that everytime you save to camera roll you lose quality of video;
but it is minimal and I also tend to archive out the iMovie Projects just in case I want to edit again later.
I tend to use 'Splice' or 'Voddio' if I want to edit more complex stuff and retain quality.

How can I re-locate an audio track?

I moved the audio track that I'm using from iTunes so it shows a yellow hazard triangle within my iMovies project. I have moved the audio clip back to where it was in iTunes but iMovie can't find it, and I can't find an option to re-locate the clip. How do I re-locate?
I could just drag the audio back in and delete the original, but it had lots of editing already with volume and cutting bits out here and there that I don't want to have to repeat if possible.

If you hover your cursor over the yellow triangle, it may give you the path it is looking for.

Can't start with an audio track

In older iMovie versions I was able to import and audio track and lay still images and video clips on top of that. Now it seems like I need to start with video... when I simply drag an audio track into an empty clips window, it appears as a zero-seconds-long item. If what I want is to sync up images to a particular piece of music, what can I do?

I too presented the same topic earlier this year. In my world, the audio takes priority and syncing the visuals to fit. I copied this shortcut from my previous questions- hope it helps. I haven't made the jump yet to the Pro Software, but still on my wish list. If this shortcut doesn't work, SDMacUser was very helpful with explanations. http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7824582#7824582

How Can I Replace An Extracted Audio Track?

Yup, after I have extracted an audio track from the video track how can I replace it? Dragging & dropping isn't working neither is cutting & pasting. I wasn't able to find any info on this at all. Please don’t tell me it's irreversible. AAUUUUUUGHH!!
MacPro1,1 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Dual-Core Intel Xeon, Processor Speed: 3 GHz, Bus Speed:1.33 GHz, Memory:2 GB, Number Of Processors: 2,Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B04

ibblefum,
The extract audio command copies the audio from the selected clip and place it on the one of the two audio tracks. It then sets the audio in the original clip to zero.
To restore the audio in the original clip, just select it and raise the level back to 100%.

Can't enable recording for Audio tracks with H2 Zoom

I'm running Logic Express 7 on a Macbook Pro Intel.
I used to record vocals with the H2 Zoom as an external mic. But since I ran an update on Logic, I can no longer enable recording for Audio tracks for recording as soon as I connect the H2.
Interestingly, it let's me only choose an H2 output driver.
Connecting the same device to Garageband I can choose both, H2 output driver and H2 input driver.
Anyone else facing this problem? Advice is greatly appreciated.

You have to set it up using the aggregate device editor (utilities folder). In the utilities folder open AUDIO MIDI setup. From the menu select Audio>Open Aggregate device editor. Add a new aggregate device and name it zoom. Selelct H2 auidio in and H2 Audio out. Check the clock next to H2 Audio out only. Make the Zoom aggregate device you just created your default input in the systems setting area of the audio midi setup form. Close Audio Midi Setup and return to Logic. You may need to restart logic. You should now see "Zoom" in Preferences>Audio> Core audio> Device and you should be able to record using the H2.
Hope this helps

Can't fit slides to audio track

I'm having trouble with manipulating audio in a slideshow. Specifically, I cannot seem to adjust the slide durations to match the audio track. In fact, all of the settings choices are grayed out. Is there a special trick for this?

You might have better luck to export your keynote to Garageband and lay down the music there. You have more flexibility. If your slides require different time durations, you will have to set that in Keynote before exporting. If you have a narrative, you can narrate in Keynote, but get better quality sound to narrate (voice over)in Garageband. So I narrate in Keynote to get the timing right (keyed to the appearance of each bullet or photo on the slide) then export to Garageband and mute that sound. I can then re-record by playing the slides and narrating to the preset timing. I think you can do the same with your music. Play the slides to the exact point that you want the music to come in and drop it in. Hope this helps.

Can You Play Alternate DVD Audio Tracks on Your Mac?

Some commercial releases have alternate audio tracks, such as "Jaws" which in one recent edition features the ability to choose the original theatrical mono track.
Is there any way of choosing this when DVD Player opens on your Mac?
Thanks
Tom

If you click and hold down the mouse button on the Speaker Icon in the DVD Player controls, a drop down menu will appear to let you select the Audio Menu:
and then make your choice there, is that what you wanted to do?
