Disabling the purple audio track in iMovie '09

I have the purple audio track showing, and it keeps getting selected, but I don't want it. How do I get rid of it?
Thank you.

Normally you will not get a purple track attached. Maybe this is why it bothers you. It shows up when you right-click on the clip and select "Detach Audio".
You can delete the purple track by selecting it and Edit/Delete Setlection as I mentioned before.
You can get your normal audio back by opening the Inspector for the clip, then click on the Audio Inspector tab. The volume is probably set to zero. Move the volume slider back to 100% and your audio should be back.

I can not hear the audio tracks in iMovie

I can not hear the audio tracks in iMovie 10.0.1.
Can anyone help me?

Have a look in Utilities > Audio Midi Setup

How do I add a quicktime (10.0) audio track to imovie (8.0.6)?

I would like to add a quicktime (10.0) audio track to imovie (8.0.6). The audio is in .mov format. When I go to import it, it is grey and will not allow me to click on it. I tried to put it into itunes and select it from there but I can't figure out how.

You might have more success converting it into an AIFF file.
Try this: Download MPEG Streamclip, it's a free utility that allows you to do a lot of different conversions on audio and video clips. What we're going to to try is save an AIFF to 48kHz and re-import it into iMovie and see if there's a difference.
Once you download MPEG Streamclip, open it and go to File Menu> Open Files... and navigate out to your AIFF file. Make sure the drop down list at the bottom of the window has All Files listed (instead of just Audio or just Video). If you don't show all files, it will gray out files it doesn't recognize. Once you have your audio clip selected, click Open.
From the File Menu > Export Audio... choose AIFF and under Sample rate: choose 48kHz. Click OK
Save the clip to the Desktop, maybe give it a different name (say #2 added to the end). Quit MPEG Streamclip. In iMovie drag your new AIFF file to the project timeline.

Any way to split audio tracks in iMovie 09?

The only way I know how to shorten an audio clip (after all the video clips are there) is by changing the duration of the clip in the inspector. This can be rather laborious, trying to guesstimate the point at which you want the music to end. Anyone knows of a more efficient way?

Convert the Trailer to a standard project. You may then be able to edit the title or replace the title with one more suited to what you wish to apply. To convert the Trailer, in iMovie's menu select File>Convert to Project. Now you can edit virtually any part of the converted Trailer, but be careful to maintain the duration - otherwise the video will not match up perfectly with the supplied audio track.

Trimming an audio track in iMovie Hd

Please help me on this one. How do you trimmed an audio track on iMovie Hd? The track is about 3 minutes and a half and I want to delete about the last 30 seconds of the track. How can I do that? Please respond as soon as possible. Thanks

Hi Greg:
I am assuming you are talking about a seperate audio track in your iMovie and not audio in the actual original video tape...
Simply click on the piece of audio you want to change to highlight it blue.
Then place your Playhead at the spot where you want to split it so that you can trim off the last 30 second.
Use Edit-->Split at Playhead
Then click on the new little piece at the end that you want to get rid of and highlight it.
Then, either hit 'delete' or extract audio.
Then SAVE the project.
That will do it.
Comr back if i have confused you.

Which will cause a higher cpu load, the sampler instrument or the original audio tracks?

I have some piano that I wanted to loop. I had no problem using the convert track to sampler instrument. My question is about CPU performance. Which will cause a higher cpu load, the sampler instrument or the original audio tracks?

Hi Mesaboogiewes,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Ableton.com recommends disabling Energy Saver, fullscreen mode, and Exposé. I would recommend putting the 1Gb of RAM, you will find a better result. I suggest going to the Ableton.com website and looking for more troubleshooting issues.
I hope that helps,

I've somehow disabled the New Drummer Track in LogicProX

As a new user of Logic Pro X, I've somehow disabled the New Drummer Track. When I try to add a new drummer track, in the menu it is a lighter grey and not clickable. What did I do? How can I get it back?
When I have an audio track and select as a drummer track (say Sunset), then the picture of a drum set comes up and I can hear the sounds of each drum - but I can't add any loops, no bars of audio are automatically added.

I see skijumptoes had the answer already:

This helped meRe: When creating a drummer track, the Drummer regions are empty and there is no place to choose a genre and drummer. The only active control is the Fills knob, but there is nothing to vary.

Hi Mate, it should create a region yes, Can you draw a region in with the pencil/draw tool in the main window and then select it?
...Unless you've not installed any of the content packs maybe? there is an essentials pack (2gb) that should download - You didn't cancel this did you?

How to revert to original, the extracted Audio Tracks with SoundBooth?

How to revert to original, the extracted Audio Tracks with SoundBooth?
I have installed the Adobe "MasterCollectionSuite-CS5"-ITA with PremiereProCS5 and SoundboothCS5.
I made a few test with PremierePro Audio clips and used the option "Make a rendering and extract" with Soundbooth.
I want know, after that operation:
- Exists an option (a shortcut) to revert automatically the audio tracks from the extracted Soundbooth clips to the original audio footage?
- In other words, I want return to the original audio timeline situation, prior to make the extraction with Soundbooth. Is it possible?
- I know just one method:
Click and drag the video clip from timeline and release the clip in the "Source"Monitor window. After that I can drag the video+audio at the same start-and-end point of the source and put it into timeline, at the same place...
But with this method I loose the applied effects and transitions from the edited clips in the timeline...
Exists another method?
Thanks!

Dear <http://forums.adobe.com/people/Shai+Schcolnik> Shai Schcolnik
After you have edited the Audio file in Soundbooth, you should:
1)      Select the Original Footage in PremierePro > Project Folder
2)      Select with RIGHT Click the Video+Audio Clip in PremierePro Timeline, and in RIGHT Click Menu choose “Replace/Substitute with clip” > “From Folder”
3)      Now you can delete in PremierePro > ProjectFolder, the named Audio File “…_Extracted.wav” edited previously with Soundbooth!
The new one is your original footage!

Apple TV 1st generation or 2nd?
I would try plugging in the HDMI from the ATV to a different HDMI port on your TV and even trying the ATV on a different TV altogether...sounds like the HDMI port on your TV might be bad or a bad connection. Keep in mind you'll need to switch the TV input to the new HDMI port

Why I have to mute Audio Voice Recording Track always in order to subdue the voice recorded when I want to solo other tracks, audio or midi for listening.The other audio tracks don't sound without being muted. Please advise how to deal with this .Thanks

Why I have to mute the Audio Voice recording track ( the first voice track ) always in order to sudue its recorded sound while I want to listen to other
tracks ( either audio or midi tracks ) in solo ?The other audio tracks with voice recording do not have to be muted in order not to interfere with other
tracks turned on solo. Can someone kindly explain this phenomenon and any way to fix this ?
Thanks
Dan

Thanks, ATR,
I wll try this--but I still am unclear on how to do what the Manual says is possible: select clips on another track that WILL be moved, if I so desire, so as to remain synched to the main Video track.
UPDATE:
In the case of inserting Freeze Frame, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Put Video on Vid1 track
2. Put Music on Sound Track
3. Ran a few seconds of Vid
4. Stopped Vid, selected Freeze Frame
5. Held down Ctrl key while clicking "Insert in Movie" also tried with holding down Alt key.
Result: a 3 second still was inserted int the Vid1 track. A corresponding gap was created in the Sound Track.
6. Slid the final part of the Sound Track to the left along the timeline to re-connect it to the next segment created by the above process.
Result: the video following the final Freeze Frame was pushed to the right end of Video1 track.
7. Slid the Sound Track all the way to the left.
Result: the entire Video 1 Track contents were pushed to the right and divided in pieces.
I documented each step with screen shots which I can send if you want them and if I can figure out how to do it.
UPDATE #2
In the case of inserting a video clip to the Timeline, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Locate video in Project Assets
2a. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), hold down Ctrl, click Insert to Timeline.
Result: Vid clip is inserted on Video 1 track, Sound Track is separated with a corresponding gap.
2b. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), push Alt
Result: pull-down menu disappears as soon as Alt is pushed down.
I can stil drag the Vid clip but it's one more manual step...I love shortcuts!!

Separating the two audio tracks?

How can I unlink the two audio tracks?
Thanks.

Haven't done any exploring have you? Like the modify menu has these two selections stereo pair and link...
Jeez Louise, it's all in the manual too, or answered a gazillion times in this forum which has a search feature.

Recording through the Mac Audio Tracks rather than through the Mic.

I figured this would be very handy since I'm just recording the sound from a YouTube video, I don't want to have to use the mic to record the sound, If it's possible to save the Mac Audio Tracks, which is basically anything that comes out of the speaker, to a file to be used by Garageband later? Or is there a way to record, not through the mic, but using the Mac Audio Track through Garageband? It would help because I realized when I recorded through the mic that I had to worry about everyone around me being quite for a few seconds only to realize that the fan was running full boar which made the quality terrible. Just looking for an alternative. Maybe a program that records the Mac Audio Tracks? Sorry for the long-winded post.

I know a way around this as I had the same problem once. I bought a small lead with stereo mini jack to stereo mini jack which enabled me to connect the headphones socket to the line/mic in socket. This means that any sound your computer makes can be recorded directly using any recording application, including Garageband. No fear of extraneous noise as it is a direct connection not microphone. There may well be a purely 'software' method also but I can confirm that this does work anyway.

Replacing the whole audio track to a clip

I had a long clip of a one long concert shot, i have it in a viewer now and what I want is to replace the whole audio track before to import it in the project and or creating subclips or putting keywords, can I do it?

well i imported the new audio track and have synced to the video one and in the new syincronized clip i deactivated the original audio, is this what you would do?
Yes

Multiple video tracks with the same audio track

How do I get DVDSP to play the same audio track on 3 different video tracks without having to repeat the audio on each of the 3 video trax?
Seems simple, but I can't find an easy way to do it.
Anybody got any ideas?

Yes they are all one continuous stream with the same GOP structure and everything. I had to export them as QT movies from FCP to get them all the same. I only exported the video though becuase the audio was going to be the same for all the tracks, & it was already done as AC3 through Compressor. Which brings up an interesting question; why does DVDSP convert the AC3 audio to .aiff which is a much larger format?
I'm trying to go back and look at the encoding log from DVDSP to see what error it gave.
It doesn't give the error in the log since I had shut down my computer last night, so I guess I'll have to try the build again and see what error it gives.
I'm looking at the parsing files and .m2v files that DVDSP did during the build, and it parsed all 3 angles, and finished the .m2v file of the medium shot, including 6 minutes past the point I told DVDSP to stop it. (When exporting the QT movie from FCP, I had forgotton and encoded the whole 2:30:00 show instead of the 1st 1/2 of 1:16:47:15, and then just adjusted the end of the clip in DVDSP).
The wide shot and Close up .m2v files, and the audio .aiff file were in the folder, but have nothing in them. The Video_TS folder and Audio_TS folder are also there, but with nothing in them, so whatever happened, seems to have happened in the medium shot encoding process.
I'm pretty much over this multi-angle thing, and I'm going to start working on an edited version of this today because all I have to do is make the cuts between cameras, since the audio is already mixed. However, if you have any other ideas, please let me know.

The green audio in iMovie won't give me any sound but the purple audio does have sound

I have been working on a project in iMovie for several months and I just imported a clip that had audio attached. When I did this all my green audio stopped generating any sound but the purple ones still work. I am clueless about what happened or how to fix it?
