Choosing audio track in a multi audio track video (Quicktime or WMV)

Morning all,
Quicktime and Windows Media support multiple audio tracks in
a single .mov or .wmv file. I have a couple .mov's and .wmv's with
4 different audio tracks in each one (such a space saver). On my
menu in director, i have 4 buttons which point to the same video.
how do i have it so that if i press "audio 1" button the video will
play with the first audio channel from the video..., or if i press
"audio 2" button the second audio channel will play, etc etc.
Think of a DVD with multiple language tracks, but instead
it's a quicktime/wmv file.
I tried using the setTrackEnable but no matter which button I
choose, it's always the first audio track in the video. maybe I'm
scripting it wrong? Here is the codes I've tried
chances are i did this all wrong...but why not
on mouseup me
sprite(5).setTrackEnabled(2, false)
sprite(5).setTrackEnabled(3, true)
sprite(5).setTrackEnabled(4, false)
sprite(5).setTrackEnabled(5, false)
end
(note: for each language, I change from true to false)
I've also tried
on mouseup me
sprite(5).setTrackEnabled(X, true)
end
Where X is replaced with a track number (ie 2, 3, 4...)
Any ideas? I can use either Quicktime or Windows Media, so a
code for either would work for me.

Unless you've created an archive iDVD project file the audio is only linked to the project from wherever you kept the files when creating the project.

  • I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as tambourine? its really annoying

    I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as the tambourine coming out with a really distorted sound. I've managed to record over the top of a guitar before and add diferent riffs and sounds but I've tried all of the settings but its still not working. Basically I want to record different tracks without it recording my previous guitar riffs as well. Help would really be appreciated.

    Ah that was it, thanks a lot common sense really but thanks for the help

  • Importing Multi Audio Track Videos

    So I have the Hauppauge HD PVR 2 which allows me to record 3 seperate tracks, The Game Audio, My Microphone Audio, And My PC Audio. It records in the .ts format and imports fine, except it only has track 1 the game audio. I can't add more tracks to it doesn't see the other two tracks, Now I had a problem with Dxtory with this, and I found a work around with the Extract Audio Stream button on the AVI files from Dxtory, and I would just import them then. But the .ts file which I can export to .mp4 do not have an Extract Audio Stream button. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and I am very unsure why Adobe Premiere doesn't see it. I am using Adobe Premiere CC, latest version. And this is a feature I really need, Please Help.

    Who woulda thunk?!
    Somehow I cannot justify the purchase of Final Cut Pro – and though I'm quite comfortable with some of the advanced functionality of iMovie HD '06 – then going through its learning curve, just to copy some LD features from 20 years ago.
    Of course the problem with the good ol' LD player is that it's ol' technology with no guarantee that the player will either continue to work, nor that a replacement will be available when it might be needed.
    Given the low cost and relatively easy ability to copy a LD twice, once with normal audio and once with the commentary, I think the decision has been made.
    Thank you for your suggestion. (Of course, it would have been fun to learn FCP…)

  • Multi-Camera Multi Audio Track

    Premiere Pro CS4
    I know that there is an answer to this question, but I just can find it.  I've used/done work using mulit-cam many times. It seems that I've just lost it.
    I am trying to edit in multicam but keep losing my audio when ever it's not in/on track one. 
    Is there some way to merge the audio into one track before I start multicam.  If I have to roll-edit everything, then what's the use in using multicam.  I know there's a way.  I need this project done yesterday... No last month.  HELP

    I have since purchased Soundbooth and have been chk
    in tutorials on Lynda.com.  Pretty cool stuff.  I am learngin that
    most of the problems that I have won't be trageted directly, but
    there's always a work around.  Just this morning I've realized that
    I can only link the audio.  Trying to import directly into SB won't work.  I have to give customer DVD.  What I did was where the audio was blank due to audio being on different track than the target track, I just filled (cut and paste) into those spots.  I wish there was some way to link all of the tracks back to Pr.  This way I could clean up everything at once and the Encore...
    Also, I created a DVD last night of this party and notice somethings needed to be adjusted.  After the adjustments were made, when I went back to rebuild DVD, I didn't notice the changes.  I am in the process of rendering again-  Pr.  I hope that works.
    Thanks for ur help.

  • Multi-track recording w/ M-Audio 1814. Help!

    Hi
    Can anybody out there explain to me how to set up my 1814 to record more than one track at a time in Logic 7? I need 5 tracks to go with the 5 tracks that are already layed down. I have read in previous posts that the inputs need to correspond to the track numbers in Logics Track mixer. Is this correct? If so How would I record 5 tracks at a time when 1-5 of the mixer is already occupied? The 1814 has 8 analog inputs (I think so, at least)
    Please if anyone can clear this up, Id really appreciate it.
    Thanks

    In Logic Express you can record at least 12 tracks at the same time; the only problem is that Logic itself chooses which digital input you can use!
    But for analog inputs there are no problem.
    Choose a track and in the channel strip on the left choose the input for that track.
    On the next track select the next input and so on.
    Now hold the shift key and click on each track on the R button to activate recording mode.
    You are ready!
    cheers

  • Using avid m-audio fast track and avid m-audio fast track solo together

    I Wanted to use avid m-audio fast track and avid m-audio fast track solo together so that I can get 4 inputs
    i I tried to select it, but could enable any one only. How can I use them together??

    You can use only one device at a time I Logic. However, in the Audio MIDI Setup utility (Applications>Utilities) you can create an aggregate device, which effectively combines multiple devices into one "virtual" device, which you can then choose in Logics' coreaudio device setup.

  • Compose Audio Tracks for Full/Minus Vocal Music Video DVD

    Hi everyone.
    I've recorded, mixed my song in Sonar, mastered the stereo audio file in Wavelab, edit video in Premiere CS4 for a dvd music video project. Anyone can help me how to compose the audio tracks so that finally listener can choose for full song or minus the main vocal with their remote controller.
    Heard people telling about vocal on the right channel and music on left channel which will make the original stereo music mono. i'm trying to avoid this. any other way of doing that?...2 tracks together in a song, 1 full 1 without vocal? How do you do this?
    Thanks, all the best everyone.

    Mal,
    One can do this very easily in Encore. While it's more an Encore question, let me try to tackle it here.
    DVD-Video and BD, allow for multiple Audio Streams. These are user selectable from either a Menu, or the Audio button on the remote.
    What I would do would be to Export your Sequence in elemental/elementary streams, i.e. one Video-only and then, in your case, two Audio-only files. One will be the full-mix with vocals, and the other with just the instrumental. These files can be either Exported from PrPro, or from your audio-editing program. There is one warning, that I will give you later on.
    Now, you have three files: Video-only (silent), and two versions of your Audio. Import the Video-only into Encore, as a Timeline. Import the two Audio-only files as Assets.
    In the Project Panel in Encore, drag one of your Audio-only files to that Timeline, where it will be Audio Track 1. Drag the other to that same Timeline, where it will be Audio Track 2. Audio Track 1 will be the main Audio, so you get to choose which one you deem more important, or which you want to be the default. The other, Audio Track 2, will be the supplemental Audio.
    I would use a Menu, that had Buttons for the User to choose which Audio version they wanted. One Button would be specifically linked to the Timeline with Audio Track 1 chosen, and the second to that same Timeline, but with Audio Track 2 specifically chosen (drop-down in Properties Panel for those Buttons, will let you choose this). Most remotes will allow the user to choose on the fly, with the Audio button, but I would still do this Menu. I do similar, when I have DD 5.1 SS on Audio Track 1, and the DTS encoded version on Audio Track 2.
    Then, just set up your other Menus, as is required.
    For more Encore-specific questions, here is the Encore Forum. Some of the same folk there, as here, but there are some different folk, who only post/read there. One, Neil Wilkes is a major music DVD/BD producer, and knows his way around music mixing and authoring.
    Now, that one warning mentioned above. Both DVD-Video and BD are centered around Video. If you are Exporting from PrPro, make 100% certain that your Audio is EXACTLY the same Duration as your Video, or slightly shorter. I usually leave about 1-2 sec. of silent Audio. Even 1 Audio Unit more in the Audio file can be an issue. Exact, or slightly shorter for the Audio. This holds for Exporting from your Audio-editing program too. Just check that Duration very carefully.
    Also, if you are doing DD 5.1 SS, you might want to make sure that you have 02 sec. of silence, before the first note in your Audio, to give a DVD player time to lock onto the signal. This is more likely to be needed with higher-end DVD players. I always begin my Video with 02 sec. of Black Video and end it with 02 sec. of Black Video. My Audio does not begin until the end of the first, and ends before the end of the latter.
    Good luck, and hope that this helps,

  • How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

    How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

    If you have either iMovie 09 or iMovie 11 you can do this easily using the Cutaway feature.
    Go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Now you jut drag and drop the 2nd clip onto hte first clip at the frame where you want the Cutaway to start. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
    Here is a good Tutorial.
    If you have iMovie 08, let me know. There is a way to do it, but it is more complex.

  • Real newbie-I can hear my loops in my library, but when I drag them to a track, there is no audio.  What am I doing wrong?

    Real newbie question-I can hear the loops in my library, but when I drag them to a track, there is no audio when I playback or record.  What am I doing wrong?

    You probably put Midi loops (green) on audio tracks, and audio loops (blue) on Midi tracks.
    That won´t play.

  • In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track and load an audio file, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustratin

    In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.
    os x, Mac OS X (10.6)

    I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues. You are doing a disservice by not contributing positively and by trying to make this forum what you want it to be. You may have all the time in the world to try figuring out stuff but we are not all like you. We all have different schedules and different levels of understanding. And that is what this forum is for - to help people move forward. If you can't contribute positively then keep silent. And by the way, you say to "read the words that are printed down to explain to you how that works" what words are you talking about? Why don't you be of some help instead of trying to own this forum. 

  • Audio tracks play back wrong audio

    at some point in my mix sessions , in different sessions , one of my audio tracks starts playing back audio from both its channel and another channel simultaineously. there not always adjacent tracks , not assigned to the same voice and have seemingly nothing in common. if i change voices i can sometimes allieviate the problem or it will start playing a different track audio simultaineously. i have two records pending and need some immediate help please...

    D,
    Just to warn you (or throw some experience in). Logic 7 has for me, operated poorly with sessions created from older versions of Logic. It is often fine if you just want to duck in and grab something but the sessions do go weird if you just keep using them they go batty and can often get kind of self destructive.
    Updating/merging/replacing the environment is one of the first steps to take, just creating new updated objects helps, even using presets and channel strips from older versions seem to give problems. Copying objects and configurations over can give you different results, but basically the more you replace and create as new the less problems you'll have.
    So you know you have alot of reworking to do if you really want to do alot of work with these in the current version. Determine where a good transition point would be and try to follow with that. Often mixing or sooner than later but plan on taking some time reworking things. It's almost easiest to just grab everything and paste it over into a 7 built autoload-without the plugins. Audio Objects and plugin instances seem to give alot of problems. I usually end up redoing a bunch of stuff if I have a ways to go and export away. Things really get fixed along the way but it is a pain and better to do it sooner. Unless you're coming up on a mixing stage or something soon I'd just do it (and keep a backup of the older versions just in case I want to retrieve something.
    I am working on an album that was created on a 6 autoload and 12 of 13 tracks had to be reformatted in 7 from forward INcompatabilities-some of them twice because they did not get a 100% clean autoload (as in the instruments and/or audio objects were opied over). Maybe I'm just weird, don't take only my word on this because it is alot of work for many projects to just redo things like this but you should be aware of what some people have encountered and be prepared to take some of those steps if there are more people saying their experience has been like this.
    Best of Luck

  • Upgraded to 7.3.1 and audio files are corrupted -- missing vocal tracks

    Just upgraded a work computer to itunes 7.3.1 and my music files are now playing without vocal tracks and very poor audio quality.
    it's a cheapo work computer, HP with a celeron processor.
    Any suggestions?

    Same problem here. upgrade seemed to go OK, but audio quality in library songs is crap.
    Demo tunes from itunes store sound great, so it seems my library is corrupted.

  • Can't edit multiple tracks - plus 2 easy audio questions

    I have a sequence with 1 video track and 6 stereo audio tracks. I set an in and an out point. The area on the clips in the timeline between the two edit points highlights, I hit delete. Normally, the tracks between the points should disappear as the two segments come together and form one great edit.
    But all the tracks do not highlight and edit. The video track and stereo audio tracks 3+4 and 5+6 highlight and LIFT off. But audio tracks 1+2 do not highlight or edit. And the whole sequence doesn't close together where the edit should be.
    Only way I have been able to overcome this is to use the razor blade tool, cut each track individually. Highlight them all, and then hit delete.
    This didn't use to be the way. FCP used to edit through one track, 3 tracks or all tracks, no problem.
    Two audio questions. How do you stop the waveforms from drawing onto the clips in the timeline, in order to speed up FCP?
    How do you get the audio in captured clips to be a Stereo Pair, from the outset?
    Thanks to all you who help!

    Is it usual for FCP to bog down on a 4 minute piece when audio wave forms are turned on??
    <
    No. Should run fine. You get up into 6-12 audio tracks, FCP gets all moody and pouty.
    But it depends on your system's capabilities and how well you have chosen your sequence settings.
    Audio waveforms n FCP are a cruel joke compared to many other NLEs. Often easier to leave them off in the timeline, use the waveform in the Viewer and set markers for hooks in the audio tracks.

  • Burning audio over multiple discs - BUT NO TRACK INFO!

    This problem has been occurring for so long I can't believe I've waited this long to vent.
    I went to burn a playlist to audio CD that would need to span three (3) discs. After the 3rd disc burns, I check discs 1 and 2 and neither have ANY track info. Just Track 1, Track 2, ... This does me no good. The track info only burns for the last disc in sequence. This is a repeatable problem and is so terribly annoying that it makes me wish there was a good viable alternative to iTunes.
    Please help if you know any way to prevent this from happening.

    Swank, you will have to edit this information in yourself on the secondary computer. This link explains why burned audio CD's don't have track information on another computer.
