How to lip sync and see the sound wave better?

Alright, so first of all I will thank you for clicking this post!
There's 2 questions/problems, so if you got the solution on both/one of them, PLEASE post!
So I'm working on an animation where some guys sings and in order to make that look good, i need some good lip syncing.
Since this is not short clips, but a whole song on 2-3 minutes, it's very hard for me to make the lip sync perfect because I have to replay from the beginning in order to hear the music.
So question one is: Are there a way that I can play the movie in the middle and still hear the music?
And so the second question is that I can barely see the sound waves in the Music layer, even though there's lots of music.
Here's a picture of how big the sound waves are:
And that's in the middle of the song!
The problem is not that the music is too low, because it's quite high.
So question number two is: Are there a way that I can make the soundwaves bigger in the music layer without affecting the music itself?
Feel free to post even if you don't have the answer, so it will stay at the top till someone knows how to fix this!
Thanks from Mistah NovaNova

There are several ways to make the sound file, or any layer, more prominent in the timeline. In the upper right corner of the timeline window is a contextual menu. In that menu select Large. This will make all of the layers use a larger area in the timeline window. Set the frame rate to higher rate, say 100 or 150 fps. This will stretch the audio, and all of the other content over a larger space in the timeline.
Both of the above will make the audio track easier to see. Add a layer to the timeline and place key frames at points where you need. These will aid you in managing the audio.
I usually cut up the audio file into smaller chunks and place these end to end in the timeline, usually in different layers. The net effect on playback is that the sound plays as expected. On the timeline, I get a short chunk of content to work with. You cannot expect to maintain sync over any extended period of time in Flash, or any application like it. Keep the extent of any given synched section short and run them end to end. The audio and the visual portions of Flash are compiled separately and will be played back separately.

  • How come I can't see the sound wave in the tracks?

    I just got an iMac, and am brand new to this, but I'm stuck here. The tracks are rectangular blocks of sound and I can't get them so they will be sound waves. I feel like I've clicked on every possible option. Any help?

    MIDI loops (green) are not sounds, so there is no waveform, they are merely instructions for a synth. audio loops (blue) will show the waveform.
    and I can't get them so they will be sound waves.
    if you option drag a MIDI loop from the browser into the timeline, it's pre-rendered audio sample will be used instead and you will see a sound wave.

  • I'm having issues syncing my ipod to my external hardrive's library. How do I sync and get the music from my external hard drive?

    I recently moved the music from my old computer in itunes to my external hardrive (changed the media file location and consolidated library). I connected my external hardrive to my new computer (windows 7) and changed my itunes media file to my external hardrive and consolidated my new computer's library to my external hardrive. When I connect my iPod, it is only grabbing the music from my new computer and not my external hardrive. How do I get the music from my external hardrive onto my iPod?

    Did you move the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder?
    File > Add folder to library and select the folder with music on the external.

  • ? How can I get and keep the sound on my ipad?

    I keep losing the sound on my ipad. Help.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to restore your phone.  If you never synched to iTunes, all data on your phone will be erased.  No way around this.

  • I have different apple ids for my ipad and iphone - how do i sync so that the apps appear on both devices, e.g errands

    I have different apple ids for my ipad and iphone - how do i sync so that the apps appear on both devices, e.g errands

    If both accounts are authorised on the computer's iTunes that you sync them to, and the relevant apps are on that computer, then you should be able to sync them to both devices. The apps will be tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so only that account will be able to download updates to them.
    If you log into the other account on a device and re-download its apps onto them then you risk tying the device to that account for 90 days (and similarly redownloading on a computer's iTunes) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

        I know it's beneficial to be able to check your message content ArmyQueer. Verizon messages offers a wide variety of convenient options to manage messaging. What make and model device is this? When did you download the application on it? Please be aware you will only be able to see content after the app had been downloaded and installed. Content prior to the app being active will not be available. Here's a link with additional info. http://vz.to/1k3gBxd

  • How can i do to see the master and text values of the Key figure 0UNIT

    Hi gurus,
    How can i do to see the master and text values of the Key figure 0UNIT, please step by step, i m in the key figure 0UNIT but i want to see if the UNIT  for example BX = BOX, something like this is that i want to check,  thanks!

    If you look at the unit tables, you will see the values and texts.  It's in SPRO, not in RSA1.  My access is limited on my system here, but the documentation says to go to t-code CUNI.  I believe in that tcode you can look at all of the unit equivalencies and what each unit's text is ..... like an ea means each; KG = Kilogram; etc...
    I am on an 3.x system, so in SPRO I go to BW CIG=>General Settings=>Check units of measurement.

  • In the toolbar I click on color face and see the RGB color space view. How do I put them into CMYK?

    In the toolbar left I click on color face and see the RGB color space view. How do I put them into CMYK?
    German:
    In der Werkzeugleiste klicke ich auf Farbfläche und sehe den RGB-Farbraumansicht. Wie stelle ich diese in CMYK um?

    I design print material. I hope Adobe will change it.
    The ID Color Picker works the same as Photoshop's classic color picker except that it doesn't have an H,S,B presentation (which is the more intuitive interface). So both programs let you choose an R, G, B and L, a, b presentation of color via the 6 radio buttons, and you can pick RGB, Lab or CMYK versions of the chosen color—the mode you get depends on where your cursor is. If you pick an out-of-gamut CMYK color it is brought into gamut in the Swatches or Color panels after you click OK.
    So here I'm picking RGB, Lab and CMYK Swatches or Colors of the color selection because my cursor is in a respective RGB, Lab or CMYK field, note that the Add Swatch button changes accordingly:
    When I click inside the color field, the CMYK values are a color managed conversion of the chosen color, but I also have the option of entering any value. So it would be unlikely I would get a blue gray color like 50|0|0|50 with a color managed conversion, but I have the option to enter those specific numbers.
    The 3 versions of the color added as swatches
    An InDesign document can have a mix of RGB, Lab, and CMYK colors. Colors and swatches can be converted to any CMYK destination space when you export or print.

  • Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface.

    Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface but does not arrive in Logic. The Loops works fine and i can hear. Is just the sound to record the voice it does not work. What can i do ??? I used Logic before in the same computer and it worked fine. Thank you so much, I´m a begginer recording myself.

    Make sure you go into preferences in Logic and set the audio input to be your interface and the audio output to be either built in output or the interface, if that is hooked up to something else. It sounds like Garageband has the audio interface set as the input but not Logic.
    Also make sure you close all other applications except Logic to ensure it is not running in slave mode...

  • You used to be able to shuffle a playlist and see the order in which the songs would sync into your iPod.  I haven't been able to figure that out. Can anyone help me?

    You used to be able to shuffle a playlist and see the order in which the songs would sync into your iPod.  I haven't been able to figure that out. Can anyone help me?

    With your playlist in "List view", click on the header over the column of numbers all the way to the left.  This will then reveal the true playback (and sync) order.
    However, the sort order in iTunes may not agree with the sort order on your device, but that is a separate issue and seems to have too many variables to go into here.
