Dance music 'Whoosh' effect

I have been searching online for samples of that 'white noise sweeping whoosh' effect that you hear on alot of dance music, but am having a great deal of trouble finding anything decent.
It occurred to me at this point that maybe I could make one myself using the Logic synths?
Basically, I'm after a bit of advice how how to go about it, which is the best plugin to use, and do you guys know of any tutorials on this subject? I've scoured the web, but without much luck.

Hmmm, iSchwartz (and the others),
actually, I did not exactly mean phase cancellation but I was not too clear or detailed in my post, sorry. But in my opinion that definitely applies, or you have to take into consideration if you're using a width processor trying to liven up a single track (be it an effect sound or a synth, vocal etc). Of course it'd be somewhat (I guess an impossible) coincidence if you'd get two different white noise recordings to cancel each other out as they're random.
I too pan my hats and shakers for eg. a little apart from each other, and frequency-overlapping synths might find more space, too, when separating them in the stereo field a little.
What I kinda mixed up in my thoughts and the post was the phase cancellation and mono-compatibility issue and just losing the left-right effect of my tracks in a mono system. Fluffy and lush pads or big leads often get their lushness or big sound from the reverb and delays (and eq, comp,...) and when monoed the track often becomes bland since all the "3d" space is now tucked in the center. Now that I think of it maybe I have had a reverb plug back in the day that does cheap tricks to widen stuff because I've even heard the reverb almost vanish when monoed. Anyway, like I said, for (mono) club play it doesn't really make too much sence to be anal about making that whoosh sweep for eg. left>right because it won't be heard that way. I know you guys weren't really talking about that, I just brought it up because I've experienced that myself.
Like the engineers say, it can be argued that the benefit of the mono club system might be greater than my grief of losing the full stereo field as so few people in a club would hear that anyway, and the loudness and bass that's felt and not only heard also makes you hear not so accurately (+ vodka or the extra chemicals some clubbers enjoy...). I don't know, but my (maybe a stupid) analogy is that I make my stuff stereo, it'd be nice if it was replayed and heard in stereo (in the home cd players and radios as well as clubs). When I've had the choice, I've at least monitored stuff in stereo when performing so I can fool myself to forget that the room hears mono...

TS3789 When I play movies on my apple tv I can hear music, sound effects - but zero dialog or voice overs? What gives?

When I play movies on my apple tv I can hear music, sound effects but no dialog from characters - no voices

Push and hold the select button on the remote while the content is playing. You should get an audio options menu. Guessing you selected one of the the secondary audio track options by mistake somewhere.

Is it permissible to upload a video on youtube with music, sounds effects, and video effects from imovie?

Lately, I've been editing and making videos for a local church in Mexico. I am not selling any of the videos. The are free to watch. However, is it permissible to upload a video with music, sound effects, and video effects from imovie? I using imovie version 10.0.2

This question comes up from time to time.
There are a number of con-men who think that they can earn a quick buck from claiming that they own the copyright to Apple’s royalty-free jingles and sound effects included with the iLife applications. These are all free to use, as clearly stated in section 2.C of the iLife Software License Agreement:
“You may use the Apple and third party audio content (“Audio Content”) contained in or otherwise included with the Apple software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual samples, sound sets, or audio content may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound files, sound effects or music beds.”

Looking For 'Visualizer' Music-Keyed Effects

Hi,
I've been wondering if there are plug-ins for Premiere or After Effects to do something like the Windows Media Player 'Visualizer' effects---ie. where it creates various visual effects which pulse in synch with the audio track.
I was told that Camtasia Studio has something like this (I believe it's called 'Digital Juice') that people use to generate various background fx in time with the music---if that rings a bell with anyone here. The idea is that you select a particular 'theme' and it generates various types of imagery---again like the Windows Media Player has different 'visualizer' themes.
Any ideas?

Hi again. Thanks for the replies, but I'm not getting how these programs do what I want.
I already -have- the music track. I want something that generates the -video- in tempo with the music... as does Windows Media Player where there are various 'visualizations' eg. 'Bar Chart' or 'Ocean Waves'. I was hoping there was some plug-in with similar 'visual beds'.
SonicFire and Magix seem to be for people who need music to go with their video. I already got that.
Ideas?

Hi guys,
I recently got this HP touchsmart 600 desktop and i have the same issue. All the speakers are fine, but when i plug in a headphone on the side audio jack, I can hear the sounds/instruments fine, as well as the default testing sounds, but when it comes to voices, i am unable to hear them. I was hoping someone can help me out.
I already redownloaded the original driver for the Realtek HD Audio and installed it and still no avail. Please let me know if you guys found a solution. The only thing i can think of is that there is an "acoustic" or "instrumental" setting? But i've looked everywhere and could not find it.
So thanks in advance for anybody's help.

I cannot locate my soundtrack pro music and effects library

I have the newest version of soundtrack pro and I cannot locate my library.
I'm sure it's something simple but I just don't see the option to view the
library.
Thanks for your help

You can ctrl-click one of the clips in the library and go to Reveal in Finder.

Music/sound effects always starts 10 seconds late

after selecting the point placed in the time line. Any suggestions on how to get perfect placement?
Also, what if I don't want to play the entire song? Just a small bite? Thanks!!

Hi L
I would select the audio clip in track two or three and move the playhead
to sac half a sec befor it really starts (if it is ten sec late then move in 9 and a
half) and cut (cmd-T)
delet the unnessesary part.
do this to cut away the last part - not needed the same way and delet this
part.

Audiobooks in ios5 Music App

Ok, so everyone has already complained that the new Music app in ios 5 is a shockingly poor replacement for the old iPod app, but my issue goes a little deeper.
When I try to play a non-audible audiobook in the Music app, it only plays the track I selected, it does not move on to the next track. Quite annoying if you have 3000 tracks of 2mins long per audiobook....
If I install the iPhone Audible app (come on Audible, when are you gonna support iPad users properly), it can access my non-audible audiobooks, but it screws up the chapters...
I am literally pulling my hair out at this point. The iPod app was solid, why change it for something which has significantly reduced functionality. Fair enough if Apple and Audible have made a deal for all audiobooks to be played through their app, but their app isn't perfect and hasn't been built around the iPad platform.
The Music app on ios5 is a major step backwards... Please fix it ASAP

Hi Covuniracer,
When you play a non-audible audio book in the music app, is the book defined as an audiobook or just as music? Are the book files MP3's from CD or M4A's from CD or WMA or protected WMA? I'm asking because I have similar issues and I'm finding that the format of the original file seems to determine the eventual failure.
I have 3rd gen ipod touch 32Gb just upgraded to IOS5. Error symptoms are:
1) WMA/DRM transferred audio books:
a) Don't show up anwhere except in a play list. They show up in iTunes, but not anwhere on the ipod -- not as a book, not as music.
b) Track title are now 3-6 digit numbers. Album, Author, TRACK numbers, all missing.
Changing the setting (Devices, Summary Tab, reduce to 128kbps) has no effect.
Restoring and loading the iPOD as a new device had no effect.
Updating the apps on the IPOD has no effect.
2) MP3 transferred from library audio books:
a) Show up as music and will play if I leave them there, but if I tell iTunes they are audio books, they show up in audio books on the iPOD but will not play. They play fine on iTunes and on my shuffle. Putting these into playlists has no effect on their behavior.
b) I can get the Music app to recognize and play an MP3 audiobook as an audiobook for a short while by doing the following:
First, get it playing as a music file. Pause it. Start ITUNES, plug in the IPOD and redfine the book as an audiobook. Then sync, exit, unplug the pod. The book will still play from where we left it. Back track to the ALBUMS page-- its blank now, nothing shows up. Go to Audio book. It now shows up as an audio book and will play. Now if I go back to Albums, the expected stuff shows up on it.
This only works for a little while. As soon as I switch to the 2nd track, none of the MP3 audiobooks "fixed" in this way will play anymore.
Changing the setting (Devices, Summary Tab, reduce to 128kbps) has no effect.
Restoring and loading the iPOD as a new device had no effect.Updating the apps on the IPOD has no effect.
3) MP3 audio book ripped from CD seems to work fine. (SK Gunslinger)
4) M4a (ripped by earlier version of ITUNES) audio track seems to work fine.
Level 5 dance music shows up in Music, 64kbps AAC audio audio file. All the "fields" are good
Also: I move books to the pod by drag and drop only, I do no auto syncing.

I can't find a appropriate sound Effect for motion template.

Hi,
Like my title say I can't find a appropriate sound Effect for motion template. I am using the template that goes by SATIN and There I choose SATIN BLUE-MENU.
In that Template we can see a blue Sheet flying by. BUt I am totally lost to get a nice sound for that. So far I could not find any sound for that. I never Worked with sound Effect. I appreciate any tip.
What is better only sound or a music playing with it? What kind sound goes with it?
Hope to hear from you all.
Thanks

I think you need to give us a little more information. Which program are you currently using? Soundtrack Pro, Motion, what? What does the Satin template do?
It sounds like what you're looking for is a "whoosh" effect -- like maybe a gust of wind or something like that. In finder search for the word "whoosh" and then select whichever drive has your Apple loops. You'll find a plethora of whooshes.
Of course that may not be what you're looking for. You'll have be be a little more specific with what the picture is that you're trying to add sounds to, and even then, it's still your artistic choice.

Are there any STP sound effects usage restrictions?

Are the sound effects in STP free to use? Like could I use them in a feature film if I wanted? A website? Anything? I'm not asking about other companies- I'm talking specifically about the sound effects that come with STP.
Thanks!

Found this eventually.

On page 44 of that apple PDF it states:
“Soundtrack Pro 2 includes a library of more than 1000 royalty-free surround music beds and sound effects. These professionally produced and recorded elements make it easy
to get started fast and keep quality high when you create a surround sound mix. The library also includes 5000 royalty-free Foley, sound effect, and music segments for stereo use. Easily add third-party music and effect libraries when you want more options.”
