Audio file for transcription

I am trying to create a .wav, .aif, .aiff, .mp4, .m4a or .m4v audio file of an hour long interview using my macbook pro, blue microphone on garageband which was a podcast using female narration ( which I thought would be better than quicktime) and then will be transcribed using macspeech scribe.
Help!!!! and thank you... if you have other suggestions let me know as I am new to this

I think you're asking how to export an uncompressed audio file from a Garageband project, yes?
First, make sure you don't have any tracks muted or soloed, or else some of the tracks will be missing from your final audio file.
Then simply go to the menu bar along the top of Garageband and select Share --> Export song to disk. There should be a check mark next to Compress...uncheck this box so that Garageband will make a .aif file instead of an MP3 file. Then click Export. In the menu that pops up, choose a name for the song and where you want to save it, and then click Save.
All done!

How do I upload an audio file for voicemail?

We are looking at having all our voicemails professionally recorded. Can anyone tell me how to import an audio file for the iPhone voicemail and what format it needs to be in?
Thank you!!

It would be up to your carrier if they provide this option. I don't believe AT&T does. If they did, I'd be all over that.

Audio Commentary aka alternate audio file for movie.. How?

Hi folks,
I love this discussion group btw... awesome...
So, I've got my feature film done, we did a 1 week run at the theatre now, we are almost ready for our DVD release but want to do one of those really cool Director Actor commentary / alternate audio files for the movie. Is this done in FCE or iDVD? and any tips?
Best Regards,
Mark

... I think there is a workaround with FCE + iDVD.
You could duplicate the original sequence in FCE, then add your alternate audio to the timeline of the new sequence. (Record your commentary and add as a 2d audio track (say, a3/a4)). Raise & drop the audio levels appropriately across the length of your regular and alternate audio tracks. Export the resulting video to QT Movie and import it into iDVD along with your original Movie.
You will now have 2 versions of your Movie & can put them both in a single iDVD project (of course, subject to the limitations of the total length you can put on a DVD (~2 hours for a single layer DVD, ~4 hours on a dual-layer DVD.) Or just put them on separate DVDs if your Movie is too long to fit both on a single disc.

Best way to break up audio files for Captivate?

Hi guys, I have a dilemma here. I am getting ready to record the audio clilps for Captivate and I'm wondering how I should break up the audio. For example, the first slide has
First textbox with title "Introduction"
Second textbox with title "Learning Objectives"
Third textbox with "In this lesson you will learn: a) how to do something b) how to define something"
Fourth textbox with "It will take you 5 minutes to complete this lesson"
So, how does Captivate play the audio? Do I record only one audio file for all the text on screen and add the audio to the slide? Or, do I record smaller chunks (for each textbox) and add the audio file to each of the textbox? In which order will Captivate play the audio? I'm assuming if all the textboxes have separate pieces of audio, Captivate would play those at the same time.
Thanks

Hi. My recommendation would be to create one audio file for the slide, then use the timeline if necessary to time the text captions (and other objects) to appear/disappear to match the slide audio. If you record audio for each text caption, the audio will begin to play as soon as the text caption becomes visable on the slide. If you have more than one text caption appearing at the same time, both will play their audio at the same time.
Hope this helps.

It seems that you do not understand the problem at hand. I can listen on a m3u list using iTunes, VLC and other players, but I wish to listen on m3u lists as streaming music when I am on sites such as eMusic. For instance, I cannot listen on sample music at eMusic, but must download it first. Thus, it is not possible to listen on streaming music with Firefox. On the other hand, Opera and Safari handle m3u streaming music very well.
Can you listen streaming music or samples at eMusic using Firefox without downloading m3u-list on your local disk?

Text to audio files for iPod replay

Does this:
[http://etc.usf.edu/techease/4all/learning/how-do-i-use-the-speech-service-in-ma c-os-x-to-record-text-into-an-audio-file>
feature still work? I would like to take text found in a TextEdit document and not only have it "spoken" to me but I would like to have an audio file of it made that I can put on my iPod.
I find interesting stuff online that I would like to read but I don't have the time or it may be difficult to comprehend and so may require listening to multiple times. I would like to therefore listen to the "spoken word" file several times while engaged in doing other activities. But how can I get a written document onto my iPod as an audio file? Thanks.

Hi. Thanks for trying to help.
The "Apple menu" doesn't seem to have anything called "Services" to select.
But each application's menu seems to have "Services" to select.
For instance "Firefox" or "Safari" or "TextEdit" have "Services" tabs.
(The "Finder" also has a "Services tab.")
Nevertheless I'm unable to "Add to iTunes as a spoken track."
I am "selecting text" before before clicking "Add to iTunes as a Spoken Track."
I am doing this after going to "Services Preferences" and checking the box for "Add to iTunes as a Spoken Track."
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Importing .wpl audio files for slide show in Elements 4.0

Once again I have to prevail on my fellow Photoshop users' expertise. Help! I am trying to import music files from a playlist in Media Player (Microsoft Home XP) into a slide show in Photoshop 4.0. I get error message "Cannot open file because it is the wrong type of file." (The files turns out to have .wpl extension. Have tried to move the files from Media Player first to "My Documents," then open them in Organizer or Editor, but get the same error message. (Have moved similar files successfully into SONY Vegas video editor all along.) Is there any way to convert the audio files to the format suitable for Photoshop (.wav or .wma)?

I think that sunny_afternoons.mp3 is one of the MP3s that comes with Photoshop Elements. In order to see that audio file within the PSE Organizer, you may need to change the View menu settings for media so you see the Audio files. (You can temporarily set it to display only Audio files to make them easier to locate. However, it is important that you then set it back to your normal options to display Photos etc - otherwise next time you use PSE you will wonder - What Happened to my photos?)
Once you find that mp3 file, right click on it in the Organizer and see if the Organizer can play it. If the Organizer can't play it then generally the slide show can not either. However, playing in the Organizer does help analyze problems but it is not a guarantee that the slide show will be OK. You might also check what is the default player software on your system for mp3's.
Other than that - I don't think I have any additional ideas. Since you are attempting to run in an environment for which Adobe offered no support and no statement that it would work, you might just have to try to debug your system on your own.

Multiple audio files for one flash video

My company is developing a presentation software program that
is flashed-based. We are developing a series of videos that will be
converted to flash video. We will also be recording multiple audio
tracks for different languages that we want to swap out and sync to
the video (like the different audio language tracks on a DVD). Does
anyone know if you can encode the video and audio to seperate
tracks and then swap out the audio with another and still synch it
to the video?
We want to try and avoid encoding video for all the language
tracks to save space. If we could have one video file and then
multiple audio files that can be synched with the video file,
rather than having to encode video and audio for each language,
this would save a lot of room. Can anyone think of a way we could
accomplish this using flash and flash video?

nope, Keynote doesn't have "triggers" though I figure this has to be on Apple's radar as it's been brought up every time a new version comes out.
I suppose one work around would be to make a slide for each sound, and have the sound play when you go to that slide. Then make your table a series of buttons that go to each "sound slide" (you can make link buttons, just not triggers). It would give you the effect of clicking to play the sound, it's just that instead, Keynote would be jumping to a slide and playing a sound. All the slides would LOOK the same, and you wouldn't use transitions between them. The effect would get you what you want, it just takes longer to build.

Trouble converting Mac Quicktime audio files for Windows ITunes

I tried convereting them to AAC files on the import. They seemed to "play" but there was no audio. I then did MP3 conversion and got MPEG files with the same results. Grateful for any help.

quicktime files themselves are compatible between OSs. Unless you are trying to read a Mac formatted disc with a Windows machine. try burning to CD the reading with other system.

Garageband can't find audio files for each instrument

Every time I try and load a software instrument I get a message that says the wav or aiff file can't be found. It asks me if I want to search again but it doesn't let me search manually. Where are these files?

Thats weird. I can understand getting that message if you are trying to load a 'blue' audio loop, but not a 'green' software instrument.
The audio loops on my machine are in two places
1. Machintosh HD>Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops for GarageBand AND JamPack 4 Synphony Orchestra.
2. Machintosh HD>Library>Application Support>GarageBand>AppleLoops>JamPack 2 & 3.
If you have not loaded any JamPacks or 3rd party loops and are just using the standard loops that come with GB then option 1 will be where your want to have a look.

Audio file for FCP

Hi, ive got something I cut together in FCP and am having a professional voice over made for it. Im wondering what file format it would have to be in if I want the ability to edit the audio track later on (so i can see the actual track(s) itself) without just laying the 30 second clip in? Also, there are multiple tracks because there is the voice and then the underlying music and I need to be able to edit all of it. So in what format should i ask for the file?
thanks

AIFF, 48khz, 16 bit stereo. That is what FCP likes.

Can't locate audio file for iDVD 6 Travel Theme

I have looked under Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes I find only folders for iDVD3, iDVD 4 and iDVD 5. No iDVD 6 there at all! I know I have iDVD 6 installed since I loaded iLife06 last week myself and can both see and hear the Travel Theme graphic and audio theme. Where can it be?
Once I find it, how do I get it into iTunes?
eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes! Tonight is the first time I've opened iDVD and that theme started playing. What a marvellous theme it is; it inspires me, sort of sets the level for what I should be shooting for in my scores. I love this kind of music.
And It Should Be Credited to the Appropriate Artist, Apple folks!
There is no mention anywhere of who wrote it (or any of the other audio tracks on any of the sample Themes). The clip seems to be called TravelCards, on which a google search produced information on the composer Simon Fisher Turner (aka SFT), with a CD called Travelcard, but I'll be damned if I can find a downloadable clip to listen to! Some of his stuff is in iTunes, but not this album. From the sound of his other work, however, it could be him. It also bears a bit of resemblance to the work of another British artist, Karl Jenkins (the "Diamond Music" composer, also a founding member of Soft Machine, one of the seminal bands from the 70's).
Whoever it is, I have listened to the sampled phrase over and over and over as it loops in my iDVD window beneath this one... and I haven't gotten tired of it yet! Please if anyone has any idea at all who wrote this, I'd love to know and hear more. Thanks!
iBook G3, PowerBook G4, PowerMac Dual G4 MDD, G3 Yosemite! Mac OS X (10.4.6) I'm eating chicken and spaghetti that Rubem made... it's really good!

Workflow for syncing uncut audio files to a complete cut?

Hello,
I've been working on a narrative project (about 30 mins). For various reasons, I was unable to sync audio before editing, and have now done all the cutting with camera audio. We recorded separate audio on a stand alone recorder, and now I want to sync it to the project in CC. There is one audio file for each night of shooting, so the audio is in these giant files not separated by take. Can someone advise me as to the best workflow for this? Clearly it would be possible to do it manually by cutting up the audio files, identifying the proper audio for each clip and lining up waveforms, but this would be incredibly time consuming. It seems that there should be some way to use either Plural Eyes or the new audio sync feature (which I don't have experience with) to sync audio automatically, but I'm not sure how to do this.
Thanks for the help.

If it was my task, and I didn't have the recorder files in advance of having to edit, I would probably jot down on a notepad the in/out timecode from the camera for every cut.
I would then take the recorder audio and sync it up with the original camera audio on a different sequence. This might prove a lot easier than trying to do it in a bunch of steps by waveform.
Once I had it all lined up, I would make the razor cuts at exactly the same place as the timecode I jotted down on the notepad. Then I would delete all of the audio portions that I didn't want to keep. I would then copy over the audio track to the original sequence and line of the audio with the original sequences cuts, once again using the notepad to keep track of the places where everything fit.
Painful? Yes, perhaps. But easier than trying to sync up lots and lots of clips.
