How do I make the audio files on my site download?

Hi
In my site there are links to some audio files. When click the links in chrome or firefox, the audio files start playing straight away. In opera the files download. Internet explorer opens the files in windows media player. How can I make it so that when they are clicked they always download, instead of playing inside the browser?
The only answer that I can find, so far, is zip files. I am reluctant to use that method because zip files compress and compression can do funny things to files.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks

I am reluctant to use that method because zip files compress and compression can do funny things to files.
Fear not. The zip compression is not a 'lossy' method, it's a simple statistical compression method (when three or more bytes are found adjacent in the file, they are replaced by two bytes, one indicating the repeating value, and the other indicating how many repeats), so the files will decompress exactly like they were before. A good example of a lossy compression would be when you create a jpg image.
Alternatively, you could force a download with a little server-side scripting. Google "force download". You would need some proficiency in server scripting to use this method, however.

How can I make the pdf file size smaller?

Hi vickyb,
Reducing the file size of PDF requires Acrobat (one way is by choosing File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF). If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

How do you make MP3 audio files?

I'm running for public office, and a local newspaper invited candidates to submit statements, along with MP3 audio files for display on its website.
So how does one make an MP3 audio file? Is this something I can do with my MacBook Pro and Leopard alone, or do I need to obtain a special software program?
Thanks.

Hi David!
As Francine mentioned, you will want to use the audio production software that came with your Mac, called Garageband. This will let you record speech, and even layer in music, etc. And when everything is set as you like it, the sound file can be exported in a variety of formats. It will provide a great basic audio recording solution for strictly voice and talking, but you can take things one step further and layer in a music track as an intro or outro if desired for a little more flair, edit out mistakes, etc. A great program that comes right with your Mac. There are nice basic tutorials on the Apple website which give an introduction to Garageband. Good luck David!

How do you edit the audio files in the slideshow of my idvd project?

I have created a project in idvd and I dragged and dropped in the music files from the audio tab that I wanted - I selected multiple songs (2) and I hear them play just fine. The problem is that I want one song to play for a certain section of the photos and then I want the other song to start at a particular point. Why am I not able to edit the music in the slideshow and how can I do that?

iMovie is a good way to do this if your project is film based. If your using photos (slideshow) in iDVD, I would be inclinded to use GarageBand to edit the audio portion of your project (It may be just me, but whenever I've attempted to create a slideshow in iMovie, the photos look "grainy" to me, not as clear).
If you know the time of when you want your songs to change, you can adjust the length (time) of each song in GarageBand as well as fade in/fade out transition of the two or more songs. After saving, you then can access the saved audio mix via the audio tab in iDVD. (I'm making an assumption that one might be familiar enough with GarageBand to do this

How do I make the audio go to audio track 6?

I know this is going to be easy, but I've spent two hours and can't figure it out. I'm another one of those guys coming over from FCP.
I'm editing a short. Most of the video tracks have 5 audio tracks. I put a clip on video 1 and then the audio automatically goes into audio 1-5. Great.
Then a I put a clip on video 2 and the audio goes on tracks 2-6, oeverwriting the other audio. I would like it to go on audio tracks 6-10.
The only way I have found to do this is to first lock all the audio on tracks 1-5, but that is time consuming ... locking, unlocking, locking.
I've tried moving the V and A1 "flags" on the far left (which is what my FCP brain would expect to be the solution) but as far as I can tell, that doesn't do anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Swinker,
I did not see which version of PrPro you are using. That can be important, as there was a change in Audio Tracks between CS 5.5 (and earlier), and CS 6. For CS 6, there are some good AdobeTV tutorials, that cover how those changes will affect things, regarding Audio. At the end of this article, there are a few links on how Audio works in CS 6: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3757977#3757977 If you have CS 6, disregard much of the material in the first part of the article, and most will no longer apply with CS 6.
Good luck, and it appears that you have the info needed.

How do I convert the audio file?

Hi,
I just opened GB for the first time so please bare with me.
When a I do a "save as" the file extension is .band, only if I export it to the iTunes I can convert it by doing "convert to ACC", and in that case I get an .m4a file... How can I get an MP3 file? I don't care about the quality, I only wanna download it into my cretive zen and I don't think it supports that kind of file.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks!

If you desperately want mono files import the pseudo stereo track and use interleaved->split - then just trash one side of the spilt stereo file and there you have your mono file.

How can I make the audio waveform in the timeline come back?

Hi all!
Please, excuse my -more than possible- nonnative spelling and grammatical errors beforehand.
For some days, I've been having this problem: the timeline of Premiere Pro CC won't display the audio waveform of the audios I use, no matter if it's music, video sound... It just shows a plain line, as if it was silence:
I wait till the project is fully charged and it never shows.
I'm used to synchronizing the camera audio with the clean audio using the waveform as guide, and even if it's not the only way, it the easiest for me.
I downloaded the latest version, hoping that this issue would be solved (or that whatever configuration I may have accidentally changed, would be reset), and the thing keeps happening. Maybe it's something simple, some option I couldn't find but it's there (I hope so!).
Can someone help me?
Thank you!

Wow, a lot of responses overnight (the time difference showed!).
Thanks everyone! Problem solved! =) As expected, it was just an option I didn't knew about. In my case, in was shooternz who nailed it. I just went to the wrench Icon > show waveform (don't know exactly the name in English, I use Premiere in Spanish) and voilà... I feel dumb.. but happy it's solved nevertheless haha
Best luck solving your issue jonny9091!

How do i make the pdf file so that people can fill in the blanks

i converted a file i had into adobe but i need to know how to make it so that people can fill in the blanks only on the form without being able to change it

If you have Acrobat, you add form fields. In Acrobat 11, you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
When you do this it will ask if you want Acrobat to detect form fields for you. This is known as the Form Wizard and it will attempt to divine where it thinks form fields should go based on the content. It work fairly well sometimes, but you will often want to make refinements such as changing the types of fields, the field names, certain field properties, etc.
You decline this automatic field generation and create them all yourself using the various tools available in form editing mode.
More information is available in Acrobat's help and numerous tutorials at http://www.AcrobatUsers.com

How do I make the mp4 file a little smaller?

I've created some films and I need to get them under 10mb. They are only slightly bigger than this at the moment.
Any suggestions on what I need to do in the publish settings to make them a little smaller?

Hello Rhian,
Welcome to Adobe Forums!
You can check the Compress SWF file and Advanced SWF compression option from the SWF size and quality under the EDIT> Prefrences menu before publishing.
This will reduce the size but will also reduce the quality as well.
Thanks and Regards

How do I make the webutil file transfer works correctly?

Hello,
I'm using Oracle 10g Database and form builder in developer suite 10g release 2. Running on Windows XP SP2.
I've created a database user, executed the create_webutil_db.sql , and created a table as below:
CREATE TABLE DOCS
(DOC_ID VARCHAR2(15) NOT NULL,
DOC_IMAGE BLOB,
TEXT_DESCRIPTION CLOB,
FILENAME VARCHAR2(80),
FILE_SIZE NUMBER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_DOCS PRIMARY KEY (DOC_ID)
I've created two buttons in the from, one for upload and one for download
the upload code:
DECLARE
     fname VARCHAR2(1000);
     fext VARCHAR2(1000);
     result BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
     fname := Client_Get_File_Name(null,null,null,null,OPEN_FILE,TRUE);
     fext := fname;
     WHILE instr(fext,'.') <> 0 LOOP
          fext := substr(fext,instr(fext,'.')+1);
     END LOOP;
     IF LOWER(fext) <> 'doc' THEN
          message('Only Microsoft Word Document (*.doc) can be uploaded');
     ELSE
          result := Webutil_File_Transfer.Client_To_DB
          (trim(fname),'DOCS','DOC_IMAGE','DOC_ID = ' || '''' || :DOC_ID || '''');
          IF result THEN
               message ('Upload success');
               :FILENAME := fname;
               :FILE_SIZE := WebUtil_file.file_size(:FILENAME);
               WHILE instr(:FILENAME,'\') <> 0 LOOP
                    :FILENAME := substr(:FILENAME,instr(:FILENAME,'\')+1);
               END LOOP;
          ELSE
               message ('Upload failed');
          END IF;
     END IF;
END;
and the download code:
DECLARE
     result BOOLEAN ;
BEGIN
     IF :FILE_SIZE > 0 THEN
          result := Webutil_File_Transfer.DB_To_Client
     (trim(Client_Get_File_Name(null,:FILENAME,null,null,SAVE_FILE,TRUE)),'DOCS','DOC_IMAGE','DOC_ID = ' || '''' || :DOC_ID || '''');
          IF result THEN
               message ('Download success');
          ELSE
               message ('Download failed');
          END IF;
     ELSE
          message('No file to download');
     END IF;
END;
I can upload the file to the database, and download the file.
However, the file being downloaded is corrupted. I don't know why this will happen. I've tried to rebuild the form, re-attach the webutil library, rebuild the database users and tables, but all these doesn't work.
Please help, thank you.

Make the property file separate and remain just text file

when I go "data" menu - "connect to Web Service..." to generate classes for webservice client,
In the WSDL file the IP address is set.
if the ip address doesn't vary, that doesn't matter at all.
but I have to make client for general case which means the webservice server ip is not set, so I want make property file(text file) for IP address.
if I compile the files(*.as) they compiled and include the ip address in it so I can't see any property file in the deployed folder.
How can I make the property file separate and just change the ip address any time, any place.
I used
<mx:Metadata>
[ResourceBundle("flex_dmb")]
</mx:Metadata>
I don't know flex very well.
I just click and click...
Thanks.

I use flex 4

Does anyone know how to separate a movie track from an audio track on the new Mavericks Garage band. It used to be very easy on the iLife 11 version. If anyone could respond ASAP I'd be grateful. I need to make an audio file from a video.

I urgently need to make some audio tracks from videos using the new 2013 GarageBand. In iLife11 Garageband, this was very easy. However, I cannot see how to do it in the new one. The alternative might be to revert to the iLife11 version, so does anyone know how to do this. It's extremely urgent since I need to produce these for a court custody hearing which will take place at 0800 GMT UK time on 31st October 2013. Please help.
Thank you.

When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.
