How to replace background music but retain sound effects

I am trying to add/replace the background music of a series of clips that all have sound effects.  I noticed that many of the sound effects carry over into the other channels.  I am using the 5.1 preset currently.  Ideally I would like to add a song to this series where the music and sound effects can heard appropriately from all channels.
Is this possible in FCP?  Do I need to use Soundtrack instead?

That isn't SPLIT track...that is a 5.1 mix. There's a difference.  The audio is mixed, and elements are in all the tracks, but less in some and more in others. 
SPLIT TRACK is something that we do on the high end deliverable stage, so that other departments that use what we deliver can use only the audio elements they need.  PROMOS for example (that I also cut), would like to have DIALOG separate, SFX separate and music separate.  So we can use our own music.  We would like clean dialog and SFX.  If we are given a 5.1 mix, we cannot use it, as it is not split tracked.
Your source is a fully mixed project...the audio files are not separate. music, effects and dialog are all mixed...you cannot separate them.  Not unless you request a split track master from the company that produced the spot you are using.

  • My ipad will play music but no sound for games?

    My ipad will play music but no sound comes out for games?

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Why is it that my iPhone 4 suddenly lost the sound bar in music and YouTube?  I am able to make phone calls, but otherwise my iPhone is silent.  It says that it is playing music, but no sound is emmitted, nor am I able to change this.

    Why is it that my iPhone 4 suddenly lost the sound bar in music and YouTube?  I am able to make phone calls and hear everything just fine.  but otherwise my iPhone is silent.  It says that it is playing music, but no sound is emmitted, nor am I able to change this.

    Not knowing what steps were included in "all the troubleshooting possible with Apple people," I'll suggest you give the phone a chance to reprovision your cellular account.
    First turn off Wi-Fi. Then power off your phone. Hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the power off slider. Then slide to power off. Turn the phone back on. After the phone starts watch to see if No Serive is displayed. Hopefully after 15-30 seconds that will change to the name of your cellular service provider and finally indicate LTE or 4G as well as include some dots indicating signal strength. You can then turn Wi-Fi back on.

  • Once you add background music, but then want to change it, how do you delete background music?

    Oncxe you add background music to i-movie, then want to change it, how do you delete audio clip?

    If you are referring to music you added to the timeline in iMovie simply click the green audio clip to select it. Once it has a yellow border around it you can use the delete key on keyboard or the edit->cut menu command. Now drag in your new audio file as you did on the original.
    If you are referring to background music that was in the original video file then place your cursor over the middle of the green audio waveform below the video and a double arrow will appear. Hold down your left mouse button and drag down to mute the audio. You can now drag in your new audio from iTunes and drop it below the video, dragging it to where you want it in the timeline.

  • How to fade background music out and fade in video clip audio Final Cut Pro X

    I am putting together videos and photos made during one of the trips, and I have background music running throughout the whole movie, but I want to fade this music during some parts of the video to hear the original speech/sounds of it, and then increase the volume of background music again. I know that in iMovie it is done in a few simple steps, and it almost automatically fades the music in/out. But I cannot find any similar options in Final Cut Pro X, how do you do it there? (I have 10.1.2 version)

    This is very easy to do.
    Press the letter R to switch to the Range tool. Drag the appropriate range in the audio clip. Press A to go back to the normal arrow tool. Drag the volume down. (Alternatively, instead of pressing R and then A, you can just hold down the letter R while you drag; then release and you are still using the arrow tool)

  • How do I remove the new annoying sound effect in iTunes 8?

    How annoying???? I find the sound effects to be annoying whenever you click on one of the buttons in iTunes? For instance, when you click on "Music" or "Movies" etc. we now get a ridiculous sound effect.
    Does anyone know how to turn it off? I have looked in all of the options but there doesn't seem to be any way of doing this.
    Please help as it is driving me insane and I may have to start using a different media player for my music.
    Many thanks for any help you can give.
    Cheers

    I turned off the Genius sidebar with the triangle icon in the lower right of the screen. No more sound and you can still get Genius playlists.
    Hope this helps

  • Where can I find free back ground music and some sound effects?

    Hello out there.
    Like a lot of amateur editors I am looking for a web site to download free instrumental back ground music for my projects.
    I am looking for acoustic guitar, drum-n-bass, and also a few sound effects.
    If you have used or know of any sites please let me know.
    I am starting a project, so it's nothing I need in a hurry.
    I don't add any music until the last.
    Then I don't have to keep repositioning it on the time line as I make edits and cuts.
    Thank you any guidence.
    Jim

    Hi there,
    After searching several sites I have used http://audiojungle.net for a couple of years now and have been very happy with my purchases. It's not free but the prices are really reasonable and it is all original stuff.
    Hope that helps

  • How do I stop keyboard and mouse sound effects?

    I have tried everything for turning off sound effects on the Mac, but it is still making noises when I type or click the trackpad. How can I get these annoying noises to turn off?

    Are you saying that, with the sound muted, you're still getting those sounds? Are you certain they are coming from the computer's speakers? Try plugging in a pair of headphones... do you hear the sounds through the headphones? Are the sounds playing for every single keypress and mouse click?
    If you have any external mice or keyboards, disconnect them. Any nearby Bluetooth keyboards or mice should be turned off or have their batteries removed. Does this make a difference?
    Try restarting the computer in safe mode. Test while in that mode. Does the problem continue?
    These problems are not due to any kind of malware. There is no known malware for the Mac that behaves this way.

  • How to Replace Background Image?

    I needed to replace a background still. In photoshop I changed the background still and saved it as itself.Then I opened Encore, but the old background still appeared. In the Project Panel, I selected the image and tried to replace it with the new image but I got the message that the asset was already imported. I went back and changed the name of the new image to a different name and retried to replace the old image. Encore di replace the old image with the new image in the Project Panel but did not replace the image in my menu. So I had to manually delete the old image in the menu, drag the new image into the menu and manually center it. Is there a better way?

    I needed to replace a background still. In photoshop I changed the background still and saved it as itself.Then I opened Encore...
    This makes it sound like you did this "outside" Encore, which begs for trouble.
    Use "edit in photoshop" from inside Encore, so that Encore knows about the change you made.
    Or delete the menu from Encore, change it, then import it in its changed form.

  • How to loan my iPhone but retain privacy?

    Friends will occasionally need to borrow my iPhone to make a call, check their email via the web, etc. I want to prevent them from reading my email. I can temporarily turn my email account off but it would be easy for them to turn it back on. Any suggestions on how I can retain my email privacy (conveniently)?
    A nice feature would be to passcode protect access to the settings icon!

    Oddly enough my sweetheart offered me a Pacifico just last week. I liked it.
    Even though I don't have anything incriminating for prying eyes, everyone has a few legitimate secrets. But I see it as really more just a privacy issue. Perhaps I let too many people use my phone. But it's much more than a phone. Friend's kids, while just looking, will want to download a game. I usually let them and now I have stash of a dozen or so games, which leads to a little more borrowing. To them it's a gaming device. To me it's my email, contacts, IM conversations, and personal information. I just want to keep that stuff private but share all the other cool stuff.
