Can I add a separate audio commentary track?

I would love to add a separate audio track with a running commentary to my movie. Something that would be an option to play, like some DVD's have with directors comments, etc. Is this possible with iMovie or iDVD?

You can add an audio track with your comments: select the Audio tab and you have there a Record button. You need to have a microphone plugged.
But the final movie will have only one audio track. Also iDVD can not handle two (or more) audio tracks.
You need DVD Studio Pro for that.

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.

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

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.

Compressor Audio plug-ins (can you add third party audio plug-ins?)

Compressor Audio plug-ins
Can you add third party audio plug-ins? Just need a simple audio compressing/mastering solution for a lot of non-technically minded producers. So trying to avoid using soundtrack.
cheers

Hi B
Really sure You are looking into Your "user" folder ?
In this there is a folder with in my case "my account" eg "Bengt"
in this ther IS a library folder
and in this ther should be an iMovie folder. If not I would make one
and into this put a folder "Plug-ins" and in this put Your plug-ins.
Restart Your Mac and open iMovie and see if it found the new plug-ins.

How can i add an HTML5 audio player to iWeb?

I'm trying to add an HTML5 audio player to my iWeb website.
I tried using the java script codes from players like speakker, jquery or JMS. Even though I downloaded everything from their websites, when I sent the code to the HTML snipet of iWeb, nothing happened.
Do you know how I can do this?
Thanks in advance,
Brazilian_girl

Thank you so much for all your info, that really helps.
I read the instructions for the speakker player, but they seemed so confusing to me in terms of how to do everything, setp by step in regards to iWeb.
So, let me make sure I got it:
1) I go to my FTP site/hosting create a new folder
2) add the music and the graphic content from the player (images form the buttons, etc...)
3) get a link from the FTP hosting site with all this stuff
4) Write the link in the code
5) paste the code (with the link in it) into the HTML snipet widget of iWeb.
Is this correct?
Thank you again, I really appreciate it!

Can't add album art to some tracks

Using iTunes 7.4.2 (4)
I have some MP3 files that don't have album art. For some of the albums, I've been able to use iTunes to download the art. For others, I've had to manually copy/paste the art in the Artwork field under the Get Info menu item. But, there are some MP3s that I have that don't have album art and iTunes can't find them. I can go under Get Info and paste some art into the Artwork field (I see it in the field) but when I click OK, it doesn't save. I go back into the Get Info and there's nothing there.
How can I get album art for these tracks?
Also, I have a few tracks that have the Artwork tab under Get Info completely grayed out and I can't select it. How can I activate that feature for these tracks?
Thanks!
Bronson

I am not sure how much use this will be, but for what its worth here is the way I add artwork. I don't drag and drop. I mainly use a widget Amazon Art, this alows you to access the Amazon websight and find the appropriate album cover then add it to the iTunes library, one of the operating options is selscted tracks, which involves you highlighting the album before you click on set as album artwork, which I find more relyable than currently playing track or album.
Slightly more reliable than the widget is to find art work and then copy it (If you use Amazon, its always worth clicking on show larger image of the album). Then select the entire album, in itunes and then use Command (Ctrl on a PC I suspect) and i. This allows you to paste in album art work for the entire album. It has never failed me in the past. One word of warning, be a little careful in editing double albums or various artist albums as it is easy to combine the two albums or make an entire album by a single artist.
Hope you find his of some help

Can't multitrack with M-audio Fast Track and a Mac Mini

I can't consistently record the two Fast Track channels, vocal and an acoustic/electric, simultaneously. I'm always able to record the channels independently just fine and they both come through if I create a stereo track. Every so often, after a random process of GB re-starts, track record button re-selections, and cable re-insertion, I'm able to get both to record at the same time but it's not a repeatable process. I've already done a permission repair. Any help or recommendations is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jay,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
One of 2 things come to mind. I couldn't find any decent information but
1. The Fast Track USB might only be able to record either guitar/line in or XLR one at a time. Not simultainiously. I don't know, can't really say as I don't have this box.
2. And this would be my guess. You may need to download the latest driver from M-Audio.
It's been my experience (I had a MobilePre USB at one time) that an updated driver from M-Audio may not solve your problem. They aren't the best at supplying functioning drivers.

In which steps of Logic E. can I make a stereo audio recording track with a right and left microphone?

I want to make a stereo recording with a microphone for left and one for right. Can someone tell me the Logic steps to record 2 tracks (mono left and
mono right?) at once, to make a stereo track from both tracks? I use Logic Express 7.

I think it is easy if you have an audio interface that has two mic imputs. You direct each of them to two different mono audio tracks. Then, at the time if playing it, you just pan one channel to the left and the other to the right.
I think this is what you are asking for,
hope it helps

Please can we add more separate seats CCX on BE6k

Hi all,
I need to ask a question on BE6K
it come with CCX 5/10/25 seats of Unified CCX Enhanced or 10/25 Unified CCX Premium seats
my question is
i have added the 5-seat promo bundle
and i wanna to order another new 2seats CCX with separate management on BE6K is it fine to order that and how to order it from the CCW
please feed me back
Thanks & BR

Hi,
Sure, you can add additional agent licenses up to a total of 100 for a BE6000 deployment.
The ordering process is as follows:
Order your preferred starter bundle with your other BE6000 licensing requirement using R-CBE6K-K9 (as you have indicated above).
You then need to order the additional licenses using the standard CCX ordering process. The ordering guide is here, but in summary, you just need to order the required agent licenses using the L-CCX-90-NEW-LIC top level part number. Enhanced agent licenses (L-CCX-90-N-E-LIC) are available under this.
Alternatively, try using the Quick Pricing Tool - this will automatically build a bill of materials for you based on your functional requirements.
Hope that helps,
Andy

Should I add separate audio card to use with Audition & Premiere

Should I add a separate audio card? I am using a production premium and for now I using the on board sound card which is a 5.1 Realtek. First I am no pro but do like editing events etc. Is there advantage dis-advantage? Also will be using Audition. If it is better to get audio card which one?

Many on-board audio chips are very good, so long as their driver support is also very good. If not, then ASIO4All is often a viable option.
Separate audio cards, and devices might offer advantages to some users, but all are not trouble-free. I would test extensively your Realtek chip, and see how things go. If you have any issues (PrPro and Audition), then consider and test the free ASIO4All driver. If you are still coming up short, then perhaps something from M-Audio, or similar, would be a good investment - but only if your Realtek chip does not do the job for you.
Just my observations from my personal experiences.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can 2 or 3 QT audio clips play sequentially on the same Keynote page?

In Keynote, can I embed 2 or 3 (4?) QuickTime audio clips into one individual Keynote page/slide and have each clip play in its proper sequence?
The background:
I am making (for a friend) a Keynote presentation (on taxes) which will be exported in QuickTime to Youtube. Instead of making ONE audio clip per page/slide, I am making 2 or 3 separate clips in order to cut down the time involved in redoing the whole voice-over when my friend makes a mistake. He is not a professional speaker and gets stuck sometimes. When he has gone a certain length of time and has done well and comes to a logical break in thought, I just stop the recording. That way if he makes a mistake in the next recording, he doesn't have to start from the beginning again.
This morning I woke up thinking about it and realized that if all goes the way it would unless I do something extra, all two or three or four audio clips that I embed on a page will all begin playing at the same time! So I figure to avoid that, I can “program” each clip to start after a certain number of seconds.
Please advise. This tax presentation means a lot to my friend and it is important.
Thank you,

If each of the audio clips is a separate audio file (track) then each can be played as Build-in (Start Audio) either on a Click or Automatically. Thus, each can be "synchronized" with its associated graphic image by having the audio and graphic Builds occur simultaneously.
Remember: If you are scheduling an Automatic Build, the actual Duration you specify in the Build menu depends the processor speed of the playback computer, so if the timing is critical, you need to confirm this on the playback machine.
Good luck.

Can't add songs from iTunes to iMovie

I'm having a new problem. I have the latest versions of iTunes and iMovie. I've used iMovie before and never encountered this - I can't add any songs to a track. When I try to do this, I get the error: "iMovie song could not be used because the original file could not be located." Please help.

I know this thread's fairly old, but I tried everything mentioned here and in a few other threads I saw on the web, and finally I found something that worked: It seems iMovie couldn't access the "main" library, but COULD access songs that were a assigned to playlists, when you select the playlist in the music selection pane. So, I made a playlist called "global" and put my entire library into it. I selected that playlist in iMovie, and now it can find every song I have!

Can you add audio tracks as selectable menu items on a dvd? I shot a wedding where the church had its own set up to record audio. I'm trying to make those songs performed by the artists available for viewers of the dvd to select for listening.?

I'm trying to make audio (MP3) tracks available for viewers of this Wedding dvd to select for listening. Is this possible in iDVD?

You will need to create a slide show for each of those songs with a minimum of 1 photo per slideshow and add the song to the slideshow audio bin. Set the audio to Fit to Music.
In your top/main menu add a submenu for the list of songs.
Add a slideshow for each song with the "+" button at the bottom:
Select the link in the menu and rename it for the song used in the slideshow. You can create a slide image for each song with the song name, composer, singer, etc. on the image to be used for the slideshow An image editor or Pages can be used for that and then convert to a jpeg file for use in iDVD.
The song/playlist menu could look like this depending on the theme you choose:

Separate director commentary audio track?

Hi All,
I'm trying to get a second audio track on my How to Train Your Dragon DVD rip. I'm using Handbrake and I'm ripping the two normal tracks it creates for the AppleTV profile: AAC (CoreAudio) and AC3 passthru. I've also added the extra track for the commentary.
When I rip the movie I do get all the tracks. If I import it into iTunes I can play it through there and select the commentary track. However, once the file syncs to the AppleTV the audio track is visible (to switch to) but selecting it produces no audio at all.
Does anyone know what settings I can use to achieve what I'm trying to do?
Thanks in advance,
Dan.

unfortunately discussions regarding the ripping of DVDs are not permitted here.
