Audio Controls : No way to use just a part of a song as background

Hey,
I'm using the latest iMovie on my iphone.
I'm trying to make a videos for my instagram account(15 sec)
I'm trying to add a song that is 3 minutes as a foreground/Background, my doubt is that i don't want to use the entire song, i just want to use a part(15sec) that comes in the middle of the song.
Right now when I add a song as BG/FG it starts from the beginning of the song as default. I intuitively tried dragging the song until I got to the exact position of the riff that I wanted to use for my video. But it didn't work.
The Spark app and the Fly app allows me to exactly pin point the place that I should use as the beginning and the end of the audio.
Is there a way to do this?

Hi Brett
Thanks for replying,
I'm quiet aware of how to "Adjust the duration of an audio clip." which can be done after importing the audio file into the project. But what I could not do is just select the part of the audio clip even before importing or merging it into the project.
Restating my problem :
I have a 15 sec video and I have 3 Min song, all I need to do is add just a 15 sec guitar riff that comes from 2:10 to 2:25 (time) into the project.
I could not just select the 15 sec audio part even before importing ( Many of the 3rd party apps does it)
I could only import the entire song, but I could not adjust the the 3 min audio file to start from the the afore mentioned time.
Hope I'm communicating my problem well
Thanks,
Constantinum

Some of my newly downloaded songs will not pay all the way through, they just skip to the next song

I just recently downloaded two new cds on iTunes and not all the songs, but a few of them will not play all the way out. It will play and then just skip to the next song! How can I fix it????

Hey ronserickson,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the songs do not play completely. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Playing audio books on the iPad using just Siri (for a blind person)

I'm trying to help an 87 year old friend whose eyesight is rapidly degrading enjoy audio books easily. Lately what we've been doing is downloading books from audible.com. They will get put in this iTunes "books" section. From there he has been able to locate the book icon and tap it to play.
But this is quickly becoming impossible because he can't even see the icon to tap it. And he just can't get the hang of assistive touch features.
He can play music on his iPad by just using the Siri "Play...." voice command. I'm thinking if I can get audio books into his Music library somehow he can do the same thing.
I tried with the Audible app though, and they just end up in the Audible player, which is no use, because the Audible player has no Siri interface because Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to use Siri.
If I can sync books from iTunes on his iMac to his iPad, where do they end up? I don't have any audio books myself. Are they in a section in the Music app on his iPad if present?
I'm looking on my own iPad right now and see "Radio, Playlists, Artists, Songs, Albums, Genres, Compilations and Composers."
But I don't see a section for "Audiobooks" like in iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
Are audio books on the iPad played with a different app, which can be used by Siri?
Lets say this is possible, what are the other voice commands he can use in addition to "Play ...". Is there a pause or stop command as well?
I'd like to make this as easy for him as possible.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

If you press and hold the fast forward or rewind button, it will scan forward through the current track. That at least will let you get where you want to be quicker, without having to reconnect to itunes.

Extract , in some way... the drums part of a song

Well, I know it's strange, but I need to extract 20 seconds of a song.
Basically I need just the drums line, getting rid of all the other instruments, (there is no bass) and I was wondering what is the best way to do that.
I know If I had the separated tracks it would be easy. I would just need the drums track and that would be done! But Let's assume that everything is blended together.
Maybe it is not possible to extract the actual drums line, but, would it be possible to extract, the beat line, like, transforming the beats in a series of values that can be subsequently taken and used to create a new drums track?
Do you see what I mean?
I normally work on GarageBand and I just started with Ableton Live 7 Lite.
Any Plug - in?
Thanks for your kind support
Alex

Well... You are right.
I worked it out band passing the high frequencies, compressor, limiter, expander and I have something good. Got rid of unwanted middle instruments... But there 'll be time where we'll be able to do it
I foresee... Something like: Advanced Track Edit> Subdivide Instruments> Instruments Selector> Drums.

Is it possible to just take part of a song?

Like taking 1 minute of 1 song, 1 minute of a second song, 1 minute of a 3rd song and so on and then just let one play after the other on you ipod? Is something like that possible with I-tunes? Thanks for your help!

How do you use only a part of a song from itunes and add it to a movie project?

After I've added video clips and photoes to a movie project, I can't figure out how to use only clips from itunes songs to play in specific parts of movie project...any ideas?

The settings you use to play in iTunes do not get retained in other apps. What you can do is open Garage Band, drag the song from iTunes into a GB track, then edit the song as you like. You can even adjust the fade in/out exactly to the length and duration you want. When the song is trimmed, Share to iTunes, where it will become a separate song. Select that for your slideshow, or place it in an iTunes playlist and use the playlist for your slideshow.
Regards.

Using only part of a song in iMovie?

I've been using iMovie for a while and it's great but one thing I haven't been able to figure out yet is an easy way to use just a portion of a song.
I want to use about six or seven different songs in my iMovie project, but only use certain parts of those songs (a 20 second portion in the middle of the song for example). I don't see any way to "trim" audio like you can with video or to specify to iMovie "only play from 1:20 to 1:50 in this audio track".
What I have been doing is cutting the portion of the song in QuickTime Player 7 and exporting as a new MP3, but there's gotta be an easier way than that I hope?

Is there a way to use music from multiple users itunes libraries on one iMac for a slideshow in Aperture?

I am trying to put together a slide show for a trip my wife and I took to England. I would like to be able to use music from both our itunes libraries in the slide show. I am using Aperture to create the slide show since it seems to be more versatile than iPhoto for this. Only trouble is that when I log into my username on the iMac I only see my iTunes library and similar when logging into her username. We have different music but would like to use some from each library in the slide show.

You can only use one library at a time in an Aperture slideshow, so I'd suggest to simply collect the audio that you want to use in a folder (export the songs from both iTunes Libraries) and then import this folder to Aperture. Now you have a project containing the audio files; you will see it in the Aperture Audio section of the audio Browser, right above the iTunes section.
You can use the Apperture audio just like the audio in iTunes to drag to the timeline of your slideshow.

Any way to use a quick and dirty icon like cLabel in the quick tools toolbar?

I am a javascript cut-and-paster with ability to cobble things together.
In previous versions of Acrobat, I had tools that were added to the toolbar using the technique shown in this script:
app.addToolButton({cName: "MyFlattenButton",
   cLabel: "Flatten",
   cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
   cExec: "flattenPages();"
That would create a toolbar button with the "icon" that read "Flatten" which is all that I needed. I could click on it and it would flatten all pages in the document.
I used this to create several different tools, all with different names and cLabels.
This script still works in Acrobat XI (it adds the tool to the add-on tools list, and then I can add it from there to the quick tools toolbar). The cLabel names show up in the add-on tools list, but not in the quick tools toolbar. In the toolbar they all use the same generic icon (but they all work correctly).
From reading in this forum I see that there is a way to create a custom icon but it does not look easy. Is there any simple way to just have text appear as the icon as I used to do for earlier versions of Acrobat?
Thanks.

One further question...
I found a code snippet somewhere online that attempted to deal with this issue. That led me to this (failed) solution:
this.importIcon("myIconFlat", "/D/J/CAD Standards/Stamps/Acrobat tools/flatten.jpg", 0);
var flatIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(this.getIcon("myIconFlat"));
app.addToolButton({cName: "MyFlattenButton",
   cLabel: "Flatten",
   oIcon: flatIcon,
   cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
   cExec: "flattenPages();"
The problem there is that importIcon is not allowed from a folder-level javascript, apparently. Would there be any way to use the importIcon part of this from the console and then cut and paste some output into the rest of the script? Just looking for a way to get the icon into my script.

Just using part of a song?

I've been watching the tutorials on how to place background music on to my imovie but I cant work out how to select just a part of a song and place it with the correct photo or video clip. Can anyone help?
Many thanks

There may be a simpler way, but I use Audacity which is a very good and comprehensive programme that you can download for nothing to edit music. Just import & choose the section of music you want and the length to suit the video clip and then export it to Itunes from where you can import to iMovie. That may be an over-simplification, because you may have to play around with Audacity a little if you are not familiar with it, but like all these things a little patience and trial and error should get you there.

Is there any way to use bluetooth and force audio out at the same time?

I have an older treadmill that uses IFit which means a program on my phone controls my treadmill via an aux audio cable. I like using BT headphones so I don't have cords hanging. So...I'm trying to figure some way to either a) have iphone connected physically to treadmill but bt'ing music to my headphones at the same time or b) get iphone to communicate with two different bt devices simultaneously. (Treadmill can also be controlled via BT, but I still need the BT for headphones)
Any ideas would be great. I currently have cable running from treadmill to iphone and headphones via a splitter but it's a LOT of cord hanging which makes things difficult.

No. FaceTime is one on one only.

Which control surface do you use, would like to use or have used for audio?

I am shopping control surfaces for mixing audio in Premiere Pro CC. I am buying used so I would sure like to get it right the first time. I am looking for feedback from those who have used a control surface as well as those who have just looked around. I have searched high and low for information from Premiere Pro users but have found very little. Even the Audition folks have not shared much information about experiences with audio control surfaces.
Here are some consoles I've looked at but cannot determine compatibility (due to lack of information):
Mackie Control Universal MCU Pro 8
Digidesign Command 8
Digidesign Digi 002 Pro Tools Console
M-Audio ProjectMix I/O Control Surface
Icon QCon Pro USB Midi Controller Station
Behringer B-Control Fader BCF2000
Radikal Technologies SAC 2.2 DAW controller
Avid Artist Mix Control 8 Fader Euphonix DAW Mixing Control Surface
Tascam FW-1884 Firewire Control Surface
Tascam FW-1082 Firewire Control Surface
CM Labs Motormix
CM Labs Motormix 2
CM Labs MotorMate
Novation ZeRO SL MkII MIDI DAW Control Surface
Nektar Panorama P1 USB Midi DAW Control Surface
Alesis Master Control
If you have experience with any of these consoles, or have any to add to the list, specifically with Premiere Pro, please leave a note here. I believe there will be others who will check this discussion looking for the same answers as I. Documentation of these control surfaces is very thin when it coms to discovering if they are MCU or EUCON protocol (or other) - and even if I was able to discern a flavor I still do not know which features will work in Premiere, such as transport controls, faders, plug-in modifiers, et al.
So I guess my goal here is to come up with a list of work/don't work features for each of these control surfaces and more so we can make informed bang for the buck decisions. My budget for a used control surface is $300-400, but I'd be willing to go to $500-600 or more if the features/integration were significantly better.
Thanks!

Here is the list with the responses I have received from the manufacturers, (3) so far.
Mackie Control Universal MCU Pro 8
The MCU Pro uses three different types of MIDI operating protocols (Mackie Control, HUI, and Logic Control). We have not tested the MCU Pro here in Tech Support with Premiere Pro. You will want to contact Adobe directly to see if they support the Mackie Control, HUI or Logic Control protocols with the Premiere Pro software. It is up to the manufacture of the software on how well these MIDI operating protocols are implemented into the software. With contacting Adobe directly you will be able to see what control surfaces are supported with their software.
Digidesign Command 8
Digidesign Digi 002 Pro Tools Console
M-Audio ProjectMix I/O Control Surface
The Project Mix I/O is a discontinued product. However, it should work properly with basically any DAW program. I can't speak to specifically Premiere Pro, but we have a few customers who use that combination and those customers report it works just fine.
Icon QCon Pro USB Midi Controller Station
Behringer B-Control Fader BCF2000
Thank you for your email! Yes, you are able to use the BCF2000 to control Adobe Pro CC. YOu will need to program the controller into Mackie Emulation mode. Mackie Emulation will allow full functionality within your software. Attached you will find a PDF showing each emulation mode. Here are a few informative links explaining setup and application:
