Adding two sound files to one slide

Hi,
Just wondering if there is any way of adding a second sound clip to the timeline? I have a brief "introductory" audio file, and have some actions afterward that I'd like to add a second audio overdub to, and I thought would be easier to time them if I had two separate audio files (where I could separate the pause between them as needed).
If not possible, is there another way? For example, should I place the first audio track in the PowerPoint on slide open, then place the second in Captivate where appropriate in the timeline?
Thanks for any advice,
Jesse

Hi there
You can do this by inserting two different Highlight Boxes on the slide. Configure them invisible by setting a Frame Width of 0 and Fill Transparency of 100%. Assign each sound clip each Highlight Box. Time accordingly.
Cheers... Rick

How can I use a sound file on one slide, which fades to another sound file on the next?

I am trying to make a slide show that begins with a certain sound file, which then I hope to fade out to the second slide which uses a different sound file, I've followed Apple's online tutorials, but what happens is I get two sound files playing simultaneously. Also, I'd like to add sounds files to different individual slides throughout the presentation, which I want to play independently from the entire slide show's sound track. I have programmed the slides to change automatically. Is there any way I can have multiple sound files on multiple slides all playing independently, without playing over the top of the previous sound file? I imagine this is a simply task, so my apologies if this is the case. Thanks in advance for any help!
kind regards,

Getting sound to work right in Keynote requires a basic understanding that:
1. Sound played during slide transitions (from one slide to the next) must be placed in the Document Inspector > Audio > Soundtrack Well - there can only be one audio file and it plays across all slides
2. Additional sounds files can be placed on individual slides as sound objects - each object can have build-in and build-out assignments, but sound files need at least a Build-In > Start Audio (done in the Build Inspector) - each object, wether a shape, image, sound or movie can have discrete start timing such that the start of one sound object can be delayed X seconds after the previous event. This can be used to avoid overlapping starts or playing. If you know the length of each sound file object, you can adjust the start to occur after the end of a previous sound using the Build Inspector. Click on the More Options Button to display the event build-order list and click on the event to reveal how the build starts and add any delays to start there.
3. Keynote does not have a Fade Feature - any fade-in or fade-out (sound up/sound down) of audio files must be done to the sound file using third party applications and then brought into Keynote. If you'd like to join the crowd wishing Apple might add this feature in the future, you can provide feedback to Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
4. If you need an audio file to play across a few slides and another audio file to play across another few slides, break the presentation into seperate documents, place the audio in the soundtrack well for each document and then add a hyperlink object to connect to the next Keynote document in the series. Note: all files must be "opened" in the background and ready to play or else the next file will attempt to start but stall just when you don't need it to.
Hope this helps.

Two audio files in one slide?

I want to be able to record my voice and import some
background music for a slide. I do not want to use the Captivate
"background music" feature because the music needs to change on
each slide.
Is my only option to premix the two files together outside
Captivate and bring them in as one file?
Kind of silly to have to go through the extra work. Why not
just have to audio "tracks' in the slide editor?

Hi again Keith
What you may do is to insert an object on the slide and
assign the audio to it. Perhaps a transparent Text Caption with no
text. The caption would display (but be invisible) and the audio
would play.
Perhaps that will help you achieve the desired outcome?

Multiple mp4 files in one Slide

When I place two mp4 files in one slide, neither one plays. Each play fine in a separate slide, but grouped together they do not.
Any idea why?

Hi Craig!
I'm good and I hope you and your family are fine too. I am happy to hear you back on MacBreak Tech, I always enjoyed the discussion and missed the podcast when it was down.
The situation are two small (1-2 meg)mp4 files, and we're placing them one on top of the slide and one below it, sort of a comparison view. They should both play at the same time on the slide, and all we're getting is the background color of the slide showing. When we played them on the slide separately, no problems.
It is the oddest thing I ever saw. These files were originally avi files that I converted back to mp4 format with h.264 so I could more easily work with them in Keynote and then eventually, FCP. If you have any wild ideas, I'm all ears.
Thank you and nice to hear from you again.

How do i play two sound file one after another

Hi All,
How do i play two sound file one after another using single AudioClip Component?.
Advance in thanks
Manivel

AudioClip gives you very little control over what happens to the sound, it also isn't capable of playing long clips or waiting until a clip ends. It will play multiple clips over top of each other.
To do what you want you should use the facilities of javax.sound. Here's a post with an example: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=513&threadID=450768
There is also a tutorial, but its example fails for long clips.

How do I combine two PDF files into one?

You can't do in Preview.
You can combine individual PDFs into one PDF using one of these freeware utilities.

Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once?

Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once? OR do you have to copy and paste each line of text to speech and insert into new slide?

Hi there
I believe that you end up with a single file that you can use. Once you get that created, it's an audio file in the library. You may then add the audio file to another slide or object by looking in the Library after choosing to add audio.

Bank Transfer file: generate two outgoing files for one pmt method?

Hello Experts,
Two files (header and item) are expected from the hungarian bank for each payement.
It's possible to generate two outgoing files for one pmt method using DMEE tree? If yes, can you tell me how?
If not, there is an other solution? Use a classic program (copy and adaptation) for example?
Thank you in advance.
Amal

Are you sure you need separate files file header and items.
Usually both header and items are placed in the same file. Please reconfirm or get the formats from the Bank.

Merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader

Does anyone know how to merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader. Is it even possible?
Thanks

If you've got a Mac and OSX you can do this in Preview. Make sure you can see the sidebar with the first PDF opened, and then drag the second PDF to the bottom of the last page in the sidebar. Also you can reduce the size of your saved file by selecting (or making) a Quartz filter to 'reduce file size'

I accidentally added two .doc files, they show in iTunes file sharing, but don't show on iPad?

I accidentally added two .doc files by dragging and dropping into itunes, under my device, then the app tab, then file sharing for Adobe Reader, they show in iTunes file sharing window, but don't show on iPad 3, and I cannot delete them on iTunes screen? Please help!

First, I would advise you to apply Tao philosophy to this. Given the dysfunction of most software, if this was just an accidental copy and you don't want them on iPad and they are not showing up anyway, what's the problem? Forget it. It's not worth the hassles. I'm more concerned that you have psychological issues you need to be dealing with, not this. You are making much too unnecessary work and stress for yourself.
As for deleting them, I'm assuming you highlighted them and hit delete and it didn't work. If not, it should. Works for me. But if it doesn't, my advice is also not to worry about it, as annoying as the clutter is. It will eventually resolve itself (like when your data files corrupt or your iPad crashes, LOL. (I apologize for my cynicism but I am fed up with dysfunctional software). It's not worth the hassles of trying to figure out petty issues.
As for me, I have the opposite, and very serious problem. I've got Reader on my iPad too. But I can't move the pdfs out of it and onto my laptop with iTunes' dysfunctional file sharing. I get the error "file cannot be copied because you do not have permission to see its contents." I have hundreds of pdfs on my iPad that I converted from web surfing with other programs that also don't work and I can't get them off the iPad for backup and to have a synced library I can access from both laptop and iPad.
I called iTunes twice and both times they blamed it on the app, saying iTunes file sharing doesn't support third party apps and that I should call Adobe and talk them into writing the code that will work with iTunes. Yeah, right. And Reader is not the only problem. This is happening with iAnnotate and Write PDF and other apps.
I suspect that both of us have the root problem, perhaps Apple's greedy refusal to support the apps that it sells in the app store and are quasi-integrated enough to show up in the file sharing documents list, but can't be moved or deleted; and the apps that don't bother to make their apps fully work with iTunes file sharing.
If anyone has any solutions ......

Mixing sound files into one sound file. Urgent

Hi,
I want to mix different sound files into one sound file but I don't have any idea of how to do this. Can anybody tell me how or just point me to the right tutorial. I do not want to do this through an applet.
Thanks all in advance.

try it this way:
String oneFile = "mp3" + "wav" + "allOthers";
you can use System.out.println(oneFile) to see if it works. good luck!

HT2305 I downloaded, and have two .msi files and one setupadmin.exe file. I click the latter and nothing happens?

I downloaded 2 updates (download only), and there's two .msi files and one setupadmin.exe file. I click the latter and nothing happens? How am I meant to do install these updates?

Sorry I forgot to mention I was doing this on a PC with Vista (the heading was Windows so I didn't bother to mention this). Anyway by trial and error I found that you can click on the .msi files to install them. The files were downlads of updates to iTunes and iCloud Control Panel.

Compile two css files to one swf

Hi,
Is it possible to compile two swf files to one swf. If so give the me steps please.
thanks,
Jayagopal.

Hi Seeta Ram,
I am not clear about your doubt.
Well, is it like, you have 2 sender systems A & B and one target system C.
Case1 you get data from A and that is used to call a BAPI in C.
Case2 you get data from B and that is used to call a BAPI in C.
Case3 or you need to club the messages from A & B and then call that BAPI?
In case 1 & 2, you need to define 1 data type for request, 1 message type for req
and and one message interface for req and another for response in IR.
In ID you have one sender agreement, 2 recvr and 2 interface determinations and 2 rcvr agreeements..
In Case 3 you nee to go for BPM. I mean if you want to create the request message for BAPI from messages from A&B, you can not avoid BPM.
