How To Detect Imported Audio Properties.

Hi
If I import a sound object, say a wav file using lingo, is there any way to determine the duration, bit depth and number of channels in the .wav files using native Director 11.5?
Alternatively does anyone know of an xtra that will give me that information?
TIA

Well, that was easy then, if you know the answer!
Many thanks for that.

How do you import audio books so they are like the ones you buy from itunes

There are a number of tools for merging the files into one. Personally I don't bother, but you'll find links on my page which describes how to manage Audiobooks on iPods.

How do I import audio from a website to Garage Band?

Brand new to Garage Band (on the Mac, not iPad). I am trying to import audio from a website with an .mp3 extension to Garage Band. I'd like to extract just a piece of the audio, so I assume GB was the best way to do it.
How do I import the audio to GB? If GB is not the best way to do it, any other suggestions? I need the piece of audio for a presentation I'm giving.
Thanks.

Do you have the audio as an mp3 file already? Then just drag it into GB's timeline. If you have to capture it first, there's several browser plugins that do it or general programs like Audio Hijack or WireTap.

How do I import audio from a dvd?

There is a song on a dvd that I want to import into iTunes. I searched all through iTunes store, amazon & the movie companies website, but there is no soundtrack available for sale.... or by the musicians anywhere.
Is there a program that will record any audio that I play on my mac, and then I can import that audio into iTunes?

It's currently unclear if actually copying a DVD is illegal. What is illegal under the Digital Milennium Copyright Act, is breaking the encryption on commercial DVDs (a necessary first step in copying). Recording the audio as it is played by your computer (what is sometimes called the analog loophole) is still, apparently, covered under the older fair use laws. So, as long as you're just recording the sound for your personal use, I think you're okay. Burn it to CD and sell or distribute it and you've crossed the line

How do I import audio from a minidisc to use in iMovie?

I have a Minidisc with some audio of my band recorded directly from the mixing desk at a gig. I want to try to mix this audio in with some DV footage taken with a camcorder. Is there a way of getting this Minidisc audio onto my Macbook so that I can then import it to iMovie? Do I need an digital audio interface or some kind of conversion software? For instance, Wiretap Studio or Audio Hijack.

hey there 12frets,
they can & sometimes do record the audio on the same tape as video, but usually not film... & as Bengt said they also record onto a separate device always w/ film. generally for music videos the audio is "laid back" onto a Master video/audio tape & then the visuals are shot on film, though that is changing w/ the increased use of digital media/formats for audio & video. that's where the clapperboard came in to provide the film editor w/ a visual cue(closing the clapper) to synch the recorded audio(sound of the clapper) w/ the film.
there are lots of options for mics & recording devices. i have an Yamaha AW-16G & recorded bands live to 8 tracks then mixed it down to stereo & mixed that into an FCE project w/ video from 3 cams. i took the audio for the 8-trk recording from the house mixer's input channels direct outs-set my owl levels & EQ. it did take some time to do the mixdown. get some decent project studio monitors-i use Alesis M1 mkii active, but Event, M-Audio & Samson are also viable. i also use visual cues from the 3 cams to synch everything up as well as i integrated room sound from my main cam(locked down static wide shot) to add a bit of realism & crowd noise/appreciation- also juiced that up w/ an applause sound effect from Sound Dogs. i've been in audio & video for over 30 yrs & am constantly reading & studying to keep up w/ the technology & various techniques- so Google is your friend for researching & learning. Videomaker mag, DV Mag & Creative Mac(website) are some good places to begin.
good luck.

How to DETECT DUPLICATE AUDIO files within a SEQUENCE?

Hi...
I'm working on a 45:00 sequence which is wall-to-wall music...
Unfortunately, I've had to recut it so many times that some of the music tracks are repeated. I need to eliminate them.
I love the "show duplicate frames" setting in the sequence (for video), is there a similiar setting for audio?
In Avid, there's a 'reverse match frame' button which allows one to load a clip into the viewer and then see where it appears throughout the sequence.
Does fcp have anything comparable? Any workaround for this?
Thanks,
Mark

Pressing F will match the Playhead from the Canvas to the Viewer when the Canvas or Timeline is the active window and from the Viewer to the Canvas when the Viewer is the active window.
Shift F will locate the source clip in the Browser
Turning off Auto Select for the video tracks in the Timeline will match back to an independant audio track -for instance a piece of music, when you press F.

How do I import audio from a portable cassette player

onto my iMac? I have an interview I need to transcribe and it will be much easier if I can transfer the audio onto my computer rather than use my old Walkman.

I don't know of any. Sorry

How do I import audio files from itunes to my project?

I know this could be very easy, I've imported music files from disc to projects before, but they keep going off line. So I want to find out an easier/better process to import music files from itunes into my FCP projects.

#5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
Shane's Stock Answer #5:
To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
File > preferences > importing > import using - AIFF encoder > Setting - Custom
Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
Sample size - 16 bit
Channels - Stereo
If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well.
If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.

How can I import audio books from a CD into itunes 10.54.1.2 to then use on my ipad or iphone.

I cannot seem to get the books/chapters to go into anything but the music category. Then just plays as music does. Anyone know if it is possible to import into the books category ?

Thanks again for responding.
I had set iPhoto to Automatically Look up Places (see my original post). I tried Old Toad's suggestion, and the data was there for some of the photos but not all. I THINK I just missed the GPS icon in the camera's display (brand new camera & my first with GPS). I have been able to import the GPS Data on my most recent photos, but as they're all taken at home I'm going to test that over the long weekend. But my best guess is that I just hadn't grabbed a GPS signal yet.

Importing Audio for ppt files in Captivate

How do you import audio and sync over multiple powerpoint slides? I'm using Captivate 6

Welcome,
But this is a Captivate forum, not a PPT forum. If you use Captivate only for converting ppt-slides maybe a plug-in would be a better idea (Adobe Presenter, iSpring).
Record the audio in Captivate, using the Audio menu. You'll get one audio clip for each slide. And then you use the timeline to synchronize the appearance of objects. But if you are importing PPT-slides that have already animations and timings, you have to know that in CP you end up with a movie file, a recording of the PPT-slide, so synchronizing with a movie is not that easy as you perhaps know. While recording the audio you can watch the movie play in CP.

Import Audio to Quicksilver

Since the Quicksilvers don't have an Audio In Port I'd like to know how I could import Audio (analog in this case) to my Quicksilver. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanx.

Hi
You need some form of USB device like the iMic:

However, I'm not sure about OS 9 compatibility (assuming that's what you're using on your Quicksilver).

Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes. How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.

I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone? Thanks!

iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store. To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?

Hello. The link FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?
does not work, and i need the answer please. My imported MTS clips are not playing back audio because it seems that no audio imported with the video. Thanks, Don.

Hi there
Audio plays when the object with the audio assigned appears. This is why you hear it when the Button appears.
Try assigning the audio instead to the object that appears when you click the button. Perhaps the caption.
Cheers... Rick

So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...

All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.
