How to Edit Audio Properly

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to trim /fade my sounds in Flash CS5 but it is a nightmare. So at frame 800 I want to start to fade the sound from 100% to 0% on frame 850, but whatever I try it just get's mucked up. Those little handles just keep duplicating when I try and drag them. Is there any way to delete the points and how do I get the left and right to be identical.
Also, how do I fade the sound? I mean what is the best way to fade the sound so at frame 800 the sound starts to fade from 100% to 0% on frame 850?

Instead of beating yourself up trying to edit the sound in Flash, why not use a real audio editor like Audacity:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
using your Flash doc frame rate and the time of the audio file, you could determine exactly where to start and end the fade using time in Audacity instead of frames in Flash.
Very easy and quick!
Best wishes,

How to edit audio without disturbing video

Hi:
I have working with FCP 6 on another office Mac and got 7 for my iMac. On the other machine, I could edit audio (cutting, trimming, deleting, etc) without disturbing the video clip tied to it. However, now I cannot. If I highlight the audio track, I also highlight the video track. Any cutting or trimming I doto audio results in a trim or cut of the video.
How do I make it a default that these two tracks should be treated separately?
Any help would be really great.
Thanks.

This looks like it will work. However, is there anything in settings to, by default, only select the one audio or video track that I want to edit rather than selecting the audio or video tied to it too?
Thanks

How to edit audio settings in CS3

I don't want to use Adobe Media Encoder. I'm using classic Export>Movie tab. I need to edit audio bitrate, but I can only edit Sample rate which is in Hz.
I need it to be 128kbps
Additional settings cannot be clicked, since I have a small number of encoders.

Lossless means that no visual information is lost during the compression stage. The entire visual image can be exactly reconstructed. Uncompressed is one such method of achieving this.
I do not use the Xvid codec, so I can't comment on the quality of external encoders. VideoHelp.com is a very good resource for this kind of thing, however. I'd do some research over there.

How to edit audio file in iTunes, rename file

I finally figured out how to join mulitple tracks I'd ripped from a CD into one file, but now there's space between each track as it plays. Is there a way for me to edit the spaces out?
Where do I find the file for the new track? I need to upload it to a website.
Also, I want to change the name of the now-combined track, which iTunes automatically named "Audio CD." Is there a way for me to do that? Can't find an option for that.
Appreciate any help.

Removing dead space once you've made a contiguous file is going to mean chopping it up again, and possibly a loss of quality as you re-encode the audio.
Try again from the beginning using either MPEG Audio Scissors or Audacity.

How to edit audio contents? (sample editing)

Hi, I have a problem in editing a recorded audio. Can anyone please help me with this one? The scenario is this...
I get my audio data by reading right from the line using targetdataline read method. Then I store the data in byte arrays. I tried to edit the values of each byte (in the byte array) by converting it to its short value, then alter its value before storing the new value to the source byte address.. Am I doing the right thing in the conversion and editing process?
My audio configuration is this:
audio format = PCM_SIGNED
sample rate = 8000
sample size in bits = 8
channels = mono
big endian = false
Well, I use this for my cryptographic process in a simple VOIP program. I was having a hard time getting the valid values of the recorded audio stored in the byte array. Can anyone enlighten me with this matter?

I have a "Recorder Class" that simply gets the audio data from the line. Here's some part of my code on how I get my audio data.
synchronized public void run() {
        while( !m_bQuitting ) { //m_bquitting is a bolean variable which tells if the recording thread must be stopped
             byte bs[] = new byte[bytesize];
                m_line.read( bs , 0 , bytesize );
             if( m_bRecording ) {
                    byte[] audio = new byte[bs.length];
                    //loop that initializes the temporary byte array to be encrypted
                                //this simple copies the contents of bs to audio byte array
                    for( int i = 0; i < audio.length && i < bs.length; i++ ){
                         audio[i] = bs;
                    if(rsa != null) {
                         /*encryption*/
                         for(int offset=0; offset < audio.length && offset < bs.length; offset++) {
                              short sample = (short)(audio[offset] & 0xff); //convert byte to short
                              short tmp = rsa.code(sample);
                              audio[offset] = (byte)tmp;
                         /*end of encryption*/
          cs.writebyte( audio );
     }else if( onlyonce ){
          cs.writebyte( ("NT|").getBytes() );
          onlyonce = false;
m_line.stop();
m_line.close();
My simple VOIP works well without the encryption process. My real problem here is how can I open/edit the data that is stored in the byte array. Simple conversion of each byte to its short value doesn't seem to solve my problem. My RSA works well on data structures integer, string, double, float, hex, biginteger and etc. I have read some articles that says that audio samples are stored depending on the size of the sample bits used, and in my case its 8 bits (-128 to 127). My perception here is that if each sample is stored in a byte, then there would be a corresponding hexadecimal value for that byte. Am I right?(Can anyone enlighten me with this one???) My plan here is to encrypt and decrypt the audio data byte per byte so I need to get the audio sample data of a recorded audio.
PS:
Sorry for my first post. :)

How to edit audio files recorded on Ipod

I'm new at this! I'm recording long interviews on my Ipod, which get downloaded as Voice Memos into Itunes. I need to edit those files, and thought Garage Band would be just the program to do it with. Now I'm not sure it will work. The original files are in.wav format, but I figured out how to translate them into .mp3 format, too. Regardless, Garage Band won't recognize them. What is the best way to edit those interviews? Is there a way to do it with Garage Band? If I have to look to some other app, what do you recommend? Thanks for any light you can shed!

If they are in itunes, you should be able to just drag them from the itunes sidebar area in garageband to edit them.
If not and mp3 isnt working try converting it into aiff although wav works fine on garageband too.

I must be missing something obvious, but I seem to delete the entire track when I try.
An idiot's guide please?

How can i quick edit Audio( increase bass) of a single file?

Hi everyone,
Im new to FCPX. I have a bunch of videos of music gigs ive played and would like to increase the bass (via equalizer) on most of them. All these videos are already converted into an "Apple Friendly" format and are sitting comfortably in my Itunes Video folder. How can i quickly increase the bass in each video (Without having to tediously export one by one) in FCPX and do a quick overwrite over the original video without having to make an EXTRA file?
THanks

ok.
"Why don't you increase the bass with the equalizer in FCP? Do it to one clip and use paste attributes to apply it to other clips."
1) How do i copy the attributes after making the changes??
2) How do i paste the attributes onto the next file?
Thanks.

How to send FCP edited audio clips for processing in Soundtrack?

Hello
How do I send just the edited audio clips from hour long files to be processed in Soundtrack from Final Cut?
I need help as I'm trying to adjust some edited audio clips in Soundtrack Pro but when I send them from FCP to Soundtrack - it opens the whole original audio file and then any adjustments I apply in Soundtrack are being processed over the whole audio file not just the short edited audio clip that I want to adjust.
Normally I don't mind as my scenes are usually short and Soundtrack analysis over the whole scenes audio is usually desirable, but this projects files have been transfered from tapes as hour long AVI files (all the tapes clips transfered into one hour long files) and every FCP edited audio clip I send is being treated as an hour long audio file in Soundtrack.
I'm sure there's a simple answer for settings but I haven't been able to find it. Any advice appreciated.
Barra

Thanks Javi, my sequence is an hour and half duration so what I'm trying to do is save processing time in Soundtrack by just processing adjustments on the few audio clips that need processing.
I have set Soundtrack to open referenced audio only and with 5 sec in and out handles, but it still imports the whole original audio file into Soundtrack timeline upto the selected clip, I then double click in Soundtrack on the clip in brackets, and it then selects just the audio clip I want to adjust, then Soundtrack will just process on the edited clip but when I 'render to action' it seems to apply changes to whole original audio file - taking longer than I want.... frustrating
Also the sound always sounds very different in FCP than Soundtrack even after 'rendering to action' and rendering in FCP... this is not the easy workflow I expect from such expensive software programs, I understood that they work together in a fully integrated way, what's the problem! This is wasting my precious time and preventing me from editing not helping me, this is a common problem and yet I can find no help in the user manual - I'm not impressed!

How do I edit audio memos?

I need to review, edit, and evaluate composing and arranging sessions on my iPhone5. I can load audio files into audio memos pro on my phone, and, following the Imesart manual, set and name markers. I don't understand what to do next, how to edit using markers, how to change the lengths of sections, nor how to use tags.
Thanks for any help or recommendations.

Check the developer's website for documentation on how to use the app. Check the settings in the app to see if there is a help section.

How to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping?

how to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping? in premiere pro cs6

You need to give more information about what you want to happen to the audio when you freeze or time remap the associated video.
Is it synch video?
Is it music?
Is it Voice?
Generally .. you have to cut and design the audio around the video effect.

Presenter 7 - how to insert marker type "Click" in Edit Audio dialog

http://www.adobe.com/education/resources/hed/instructional/connect/collaborative_teaching/ pdfs/edit_audio_adobe_pres.pdf
The above document includes information that you can add four types of markers by using the Audio Editor in Presenter and one of the marker types is mouse-click animation. I can't find a way to do it in reality. The only way to insert this type of market is in Edit Sync dialog, not in Edit Audio. This requires resynchronisation of the whole audio instead of just adding one marker. In Edit Audio dialog I only have markers of type "Wait for user" and "Go to slide".

Hi,
This problem Could happen when you referesh quality or test system.
Your delta setup for the related master and transaction data needs to be reinit.
What happens is when you init. the delta and subsequent delta is all maintained in your source system
please check Notes 852443,424848,834229
Hope this helps

Best way to edit audio in a QT file

Hi,
I have a QT file with lots of audio problems that need to be cleaned (lots of ums and ahs to be deleted). WHen I load the QT file in Soundtrack pro and delete some audio, the corresponding video segment does not get deleted. Granted, I am new to audio so I might be missing something. ANy ideas how to edit a QT file in an audio program (Final Cut is not good for audio editing)?
Thanks,
Robert

There's 2 ways to accomplish this.
In a strictly audio environment you'd need to replace the removed sections with something, breaths or room tone.
Otherwise you'd need to use a video editing program so that the audio and video stay in sync. If you find you can't finish the audio properly in FCP, then you could send the audio to STP to fix it up after you do your initial editing in Final Cut.
Hope that helps.
