How do you add background music to a DVD chapter menu in iDVD?

I just need to add background music to a DVD menu-the main menu
thanks

Just to cover the bases, did you check the audio slider bar to the lower right of the iDVD menu screen to make sure that the sound is turned up, or check the menu slider bar for audio in the Menu pane?
Is your song in aiff format? 
Sometimespermissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iDVD starts acting funny, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair usingthe Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iDVD. iDVD will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iDVD to function correctly. 25GB often is recommended by users of this forum. After doing all of the above, relaunch iDVD and see whether you still have the problem.

  • Once you add background music, but then want to change it, how do you delete background music?

    Oncxe you add background music to i-movie, then want to change it, how do you delete audio clip?

    If you are referring to music you added to the timeline in iMovie simply click the green audio clip to select it. Once it has a yellow border around it you can use the delete key on keyboard or the edit->cut menu command. Now drag in your new audio file as you did on the original.
    If you are referring to background music that was in the original video file then place your cursor over the middle of the green audio waveform below the video and a double arrow will appear. Hold down your left mouse button and drag down to mute the audio. You can now drag in your new audio from iTunes and drop it below the video, dragging it to where you want it in the timeline.

  • How do I add background music to selected slides?

    How can I can add background music to selected slides only? Also, when I add recorded voice to selected slides, the presentation starts from the slide from which the recording started and not from the first one of the presentation. Are there answers to both these questions?

    Gilda,
    The only way to add selected music/voice narration to individual slides is to place the audio files on the individual slides and set a build to Start Audio or Start Movie.
    Music files can either be from your Media Browser Audio or from other files that are in your Finder. Simply drag and drop on the slide. Select the audio object on the slide to assign Satrt Audio/Movie builds.
    To crate Narration Files to be placed on a slide, an easy way to do this is to use your Quicktime Player > File > New Audio Recording > record your voice-over and save it. Then drag it onto your slide and then Build Inspector > Build In > Start Audio/Movie > Open the Options Drawer and set the start to mouse click or automatic.
    Adding an audio file to the entire presentation via the Slide Inspector > Audio Well will make music play across all slides.
    This information and more can be found in the downloadable Keynote '09 User Guide available from your Keynote Help Menu.

  • How can you add a music player a LR3 web gallery?

    I feel like this would be a highly desirable feature and assumed Adobe would add it to Lightroom 3. That doesnt seem to be the case. Does anyone know an easy work around for adding music to your Lightroom web galleries? Dewplayer http://www.alsacreations.fr/dewplayer-en.html seems to have a open source mp3 player with a code generator. I assume i can use that and then cut and past the code into one of the lightroom gallery files. Where do i paste it? I am using lighroom's simpleviewer web gallery.

  • How do you add a new scene to beginning without disturbing movie with music and beat markers?

    How do you add a new portion to the beginning of your project without disturbing the rest of the project that already has perfectly place clips attached to beat markers with the music ?
    I forgot to add a tittle intro before the music starts with the attached pictures. When I try to add the whole project goes out of sync.
    I want to just add an intro without disturbing the entire project.
    Thanks

    Well, if you re-attach your background music under the first clip, the starting point will be at the start of that clip so I think it will still be in sync.  If not it's simply a matter of nudging the music track a bit along the timeline.  Comparing the audio waveforms of the two tracks should help with this.  When its right you can delete the track in the background music position.  Now you can add what you like before the first clip without affecting sync.

  • How do you add non-Garage band instruments into a Logic project so that you can hear them on playback?

    How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback?  I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
    To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8.  To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads.  Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked. 
    However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1."  And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute.  Instead, nothing comes out at all.  I can't imagine why this does not work.  Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming.  Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments.  Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
    Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual.  The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
    What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max.  Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
    On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind!  To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project?  Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue.  I'd sincerely appreciate it!  Thanks all!

    David,  you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
    That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
      May I offer you advice?
    Go here:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
    Open "Exploring Logic Pro"  (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
    I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.
