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

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Steps -
1) Use JSR 75 APIs to access every file on the phone file system.
2) Apply filter to list only audio files.
3) Show the list of audio files on UI.
4) Use MMAPI to play the selected file.

How do you start 2+ audio files playing at the same time?

I am trying to play 2 audio files at the same time, but I cannot figure out how to start them playing at the same time without latency issues.
If someone can please explain the process for doing this using Audio Queue Services, I will forever be in your debt.
This is for iPhone, but I was getting no love in those forums on this issue.

Thanks for your reply. Apple's iPhone Application Programming Guide states the Following:
*Playing Multiple Sounds Simultaneously*
To play multiple sounds simultaneously, create one playback audio queue object for each sound. For each audio queue, schedule the first buffer of audio to start at the same time using the AudioQueueEnqueueBufferWithParameters function.
This leads me to believe that it is possible. I have just not been able to get them to play precisely the same time, there is always delay.

Found Audacity for my background noise. Can I edit my audio files in the FCPX event folder in Finder?

I think I found the solution to my background noise problem using Audacity.
But can I edit my audio files that are in FCPX Event folder in Finder? Or do I actually have to edit my project all over again to put in new audio (edited by Audacity)?

No, copying the whole Project and Event is just too much of a waste of time.
Do this, in the Browser, select the audio file you need to take to Audacity. Export it as a Master File, and in the Settings section of the Share window, set Format to Audio Only. Set Audio File Format to AIFF. Set Open With to "Other" and select Audacity. Then pick your Desktop as the location to save the file.
In Audacity, do whatever it is you want and save it.
Back in FCP X, import the new "fixed" file, be sure to check the box to copy it to your Event folder.
Finally, if necessary, do a Replace edit with the new version to the old one if it has already be edited into a Timeline.

How do you edit system plist files manually?

I'm trying to edit a .plist file in the system/library/launchdaemons folder but can't figure out how to get permissions to work. I have Xcode but when I try to edit it says "you don't own parent folder, can't unlock". I tried changing ownership of the .plist file itself (just temporarily) and still same error. The permissions on the file are like all system files; owner-system-w/r, group-wheel-read, and everyone-read. So, what's the trick? And please don't say I shouldn't mess with system files...if I brick the computer I promise not to ask for your help. Thanks.

Hi Niel,
Can't you edit system files as root?

How do you simplfy STP audio files?

A lot of the sound effects files in Soundtrack Pro have like, 6 channels when I bring them into FCP. I don't need that for my purposes. It just gets in the way. What do I do?
Thanks!

Hi dm,
there are several things you can do.
-Select the audio and hit Option+C to nest the channels
-If they are .caf export the track as Aiff from STP and when you drag the audio clip onto the timeline hit Command+L and delete the 4 tracks from the third to the 6th downward.
-Select the audio track and hit Command + L and delete the unwanted channels.
-Unlink Audio Source from Destination from 3rd to 6th audio track as shown in the pic below then grab the audio and drop it on the timeline making sure the cursor hovers over the video tracks displaying an arrow pointing down.If this is done correctly only the first two audio track will be dropped.
!http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee340/gogiangigo/Source-Destination.jpg!
- you could also lock the audio tracks so that when you drop new audio the locked track remains unaltered (see lock icon on the left hand side of the timeline and in the image above).

How Do You Deploy a War File to The OC4J Standalone ?

I have a .war file that contains example code and I would like to deploy it to my OC4J Standalone.
I tried putting the war file in the applications directory and adding a line in the server.xml file but I received the error:
Error instantiating application at file:/C:/OC4JStandAlone/pdk101202_oc4j_extended/j2ee/home/applications/displaytag-examples-1.1.war: Unable to find/read assembly info for C:\OC4JStandAlone\pdk101202_oc4j_extended\j2ee\home\applications\displaytag-examples-1.1 (META-INF/application.xml)
It appears it was expecting an .ear file instead of a .war file
Is there an easy way to deploy a .war file to the OC4J Standalone?
Thanks,

Please refer to the OC4J FAQ on :-

How can I edit a mp3 file and drop it in an iMovie project?

I wish to edit an mp3 music file so that I can drop a piece of it into an iMovie project. iMovie's audio tools are very rudimentary---one can reposition a music file, shorten it, etc but cannot pick a piece of it to complement a movie segment.
So I dropped the mp3 file into GarageBand. I deleted the first section of the song, then selected the 16 second piece I wanted to include in my iMovie, using the copy command. Then I pasted the piece into a new GarageBand project screen. The piece wouldn't play, and when I selected "export" the piece neatly went to where I wanted it, but again with no sound.
So simply: how do I edit an mp3 file (cutting a piece of it) and then save it so I can apply it to an iMovie? Help!
John

it should have played, but you can do it easier by exporting just the section you want:

Hi,
Question:
1. You have a folder for each DVD whose video contents you edited.
Answer: Yes
Question:
You talk about projects 34, 35, 36, 37. Are these projects associated with only one specific DVD?
What is supposed to be in each project - just edited VTS_01_1.VOB or edits from the others in the series
such as VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB, etc.
Answer:
Project 34 has edited Premiere Elements file 34 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#34
Project 35 has edited Premiere Elements file 35 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#35
Project 36 has edited Premiere Elements file 36 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#36
etc.
Question:
2. If you screen each DVD video file VOB for a given DVD disc, does the content follow sequentially and cleanly?
Answer:
Yes
When I run the VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc from each project the audio and the video are clean and match.
When I run the edited Premiere Elements file that were created after project 34 edited Premiere Elements file project 35, 36, 37 etc. I am getting the audio from project 34
When I run the edited Premiere Elements file that were created before project 34 edited Premiere Elements file project 1, 2, all the way to 33. I am getting the correct audio
Thanks,
Ron

How do I edit AIFC Audio files?

I am using WireTap Pro, from Ambrosia Software, to record music off the radio. The resulting files are AIFC Audio files. How do I "cut them up" to remove unwanted sections and then join together just the material that I want? The only way I know to do this is to play the file back and then record again, stopping and starting the recording to get only what I want. But that can be tricky, because if I miss my cue for stopping or starting the recording, I have to start all over. There must be an easier way. But I don't know what it is. Is there any inexpensive and easy to use software that can be used to accomplish this?

hi-
try using QuickTime. I don't know how well it works, I rarely use it to edit let alone PLAY files, but it might require a registered version to edit or save (as is often the case with stuff like that).
failing that, there are many free (shareware and freeware) programs you can find. you'll have to search for one, I've stopped using any for a while since I bought a ProTools interface a while ago.
versiontracker.com might help

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!
