Minor AIFF Sound Effect

I realize this is a minor problem but I have an Sound effect in iMovie 6.0.3 , along with many others, and it will not burn in my iDVD project. Not to a DVD or Disc Image, nothing.
I remove it from iMovie and it will burn in iDVD. I realize this is the solution to burn it but would like this sound effect in if possible. As I said , I have much music and other sound effects in this movie but this one is giving me trouble. I was looking for suggestions that I could try from any of you.
Thanks

You can use WireTap Pro to record the sound effect, creating an AIFC file. Name it whatever you wish, save it to your desktop, and drag/drop it directly into iMovie's audio track. You can put it into iTunes so it will be available whenever you want.
WireTap Pro is a neat little app that records anything that will produce sound in your computer. I use it a lot to make audio clips of part of a song, or to copy the audio of one of my video clips that I replace with still photo. It is much faster than extracting audio from a short clip. I also use it when iMovie won't play a purchased tune instead of burning to cd and reimporting. WireTap can be run while iMovie is open. It also can be used to drag/drop an audio file into iDVD.

I updated my iPad to iOS7 and since then my iPad2 does not have sound (says no SOUND EFFECT). I already got it checked by Genius Bar who say that it is not a software problem.

Have done all suggested things including toggle and change in settings. Still it keeps showing a bell (which shows sound effects) but does not enable change of sound / sound in apps.
On Saturday, 3rd may2014 I got an appointment with Genius Bar at WEST 14th street NYC which initially said that this looks like settings issue. So they reset my iPad settings.
When this did not work, they also reloaded the iOS. Even that did not solve the problem. They conveyed that this is a hardware problem and thus they can solve this (except for replacement for which they will charge $250 for an iPad 2.)
However the ringer sound is coming perfect ( the sound is not available in any of the apps but the same speaker works for ringer).
HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE A HARDWARE PROBLEM THEN? ALSO WHY CAN APPLE NOT CHANGE THE SPEAKERS?
When I conveyed that this is APPLE specific issue, they flatly denied and conveyed that there are NO such cases. When I offered to show it on Aple community, they say THIS HAPPENS TO ONLY A SMALL MINORITY AND IS NOT CONSIDERED A "KNOWN ISSUE".
I HAD GONE AT THE SAME TIME FOR CHANGING MY IPHONE's speaker (for that too, they said that they can only replace my phone with a hefty payment rather than changing the speakers).
THIS AMPLY SHOWED THAT THEY HAD NO INTENTION OF SERVICING THE INSTRUMENTS AND THEY WERE ONLY THINKING OF HOW TO INCREASE SALES BY DRAWING ON THE OLD INVENTORY.
SHOWS RIDICULOUS ATTITUDE OF APPLE.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

Free sound effect problem

Hello,
I have previously used findsounds.com to get a wealth of sound effects for imovie projects. However, now I cannot get any of the sounds to import to my movies. Is there some setting I need to adjust in iMovie HD to make this work? Thanks.

I will have to add that one to the FAQ nice find. If QT can play it it "should" import. I always make a habit of converting it to an AIFF file before importing it to iMovie.
If if you can hear it but cannot get QT to play it then you need a program like Audio Hijack and have it save out an AIFF file for import.

How to use custom sound effects

One of the few good things one could do in Windows was to assign any sound effect you wanted to use to just about any operating system or other event. For example, you could have Captain Pecard say "Minimize" whenever you minimized a window.
OS X (10.7 Lion in my case) doesn't make this as easy. If you want to add your own sound effects to the pre-installed sound effects you get when you open System Preferences → Sound → Sound Effects, you must manually add them to the correct folder after first converting them into .aiff format.
I've done all this successfully, but I don't know the last step, namely, how to assign the new sound to a 'Custom' event. I see my new sound files in the right place (System Preferences → Sound → Sound Effects), but it just says 'Custom' for the alert sount type.
Help would be appreciated.

So? Just select the name. BTW, all that does is select which one you want to use for ALERTs, nothing else. For anything else, such as those contained in
/System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/Resources/SystemSounds/f inder/ you need to rename the new sound as the original and put them into that same location.

Why is the sound effects library missing from the audio menu is FCPX 10.1

Up until version 10.1 Final Cut Pro had a sound effect library under the music tab.
Its now completely missing and only shows itunes.
Has anyone else noticed this problem and know how to put it back to the way it used to be.

follow BenB's solution as follows:
Minor upgrade glitch, don't move any folders.
Quit FCP X.
If you have GarageBand, launch it.
Quit GarageBand.
Reboot your Mac.
Open FCP X, you should be fine.
Repeat once or twice if needed.

Trouble using sound effect samples in Logic 7.2.3

I'm using a Mac book Pro (10.4.11) and I've got these samples of sound effects (aiff format) that I want to triger with the Ultrabeat plug in. the built in samples that come with Logic (in the loop browser) work just fine. but when I try to load a these other samples, they come in correpted. they just make a white noise sound when I trigger them. Can any one please help.
Burr

Hi. As far as I know the aiff files are not in 5.1 surround format. But I don't even know how to check that. Anyway I had success loading them into the EXS plug in sampler and I thought all was good but the next day they were corrupted. I put other samples in in their place and again they were working. But when I shut down and rebooted, they were again corrupted. Any Ideas??

How to add new alert sounds to Sound Effects in Sys. Prefs

I'd like to add a sound (it's in MP3) to the Sound Effects in System Preferences. How do I do this?

Hi Craig, if it isn't playing in the actual folder then something went wrong in your conversion. Exactly how did you do the conversion? And how did you get it out of iTunes (if that is what you used for the conversion) to use it as a sound effect?
I have a one second piano chord in mp3 stashed away in a sound collection folder. I double click it and it opens in iTunes. I then go to iTunes Preferences, click on Advanced, then click the Importing tab, and change "Import Using" to "AIFF Encoder" (my default is MP3 Encoder) and click the OK button. Go back to the regular iTunes window and select your mp3 file, then go up to the Advanced menu and select "Convert Selection to AIFF"--it should convert it very quickly. Grab the new aif file and drag out of iTunes window onto the Desktop. Do GetInfo on it and change the extension to .aiff (iTunes exports it plain name.aif). While you are in GetInfo verify that it plays in the Preview section. Now add it to the /System/Library/Sounds folder. Oh, and remove the one that doesn't work. You'll have to authenticate to do that too.

Photo Booth - Custom Sound Effect?

Is there any way I can set Photo Booth to play a custom sound effect each time a photo is taken rather than the default shutter sound?
Thanks!

Work with a COPY of Photo Booth.app so that you can revert to the original behavior if you don't like the results.
Under Leopard, it's a simple matter of digging into Photo Booth.app and replacing the shutter sound-- /Applications/Photo Booth.app/Contents/Resources/photo_shutter.aiff -- with another short AIFF of the same name and in the same format (8 bit, mono, 8 KHz).
Replace photo_shutter.aiff with any sound you choose. You do have to give it the same name so that the program can find it.
Snow Leopard has tightened up code-signing. The above modification will probably break the app under SL, though it does work under Leopard.

Adding sound effect

Hi ... I have done a search but not found quite what I'm looking for ... very new to imovie and don't want to screw up in the same way I did with iphoto and imusic by getting the file structure messy ... ie I don't really want to touch anything ! but i want to use a sound effect (waves on a beach) I have a .wav where do i put it ? is it OK to use a .wav ? should it go in the same library folder as the default imovie fx (ie somewhere deep in the bowels of garage band's support files) ? Thanks for your time ? Roger

a) iM uses internally 48KHz aiff...- no .wav
b) if you just want to use it single shot, simply drag'n drop your audio file into the timeline/audio track (iM will convert into aiff... donb't care)
c) if you want your waves permanently in your "sound effects" pane, you have to wait until someone else answers, or I'll be home at my Mac (posting from an alien machine...)

Putting extra sounds in the sound effects panel

Hi,
I just talked my older brother into buying a Mac. He has not owned a Mac in many years and he asked me an odd question. He says that he used to be able to add custom sound effects for alerts. For example he wants to be able to select his custom sound within the Apple Menu/System Preferences/ Sounds/ Sound Effects and select sounds that he moves into this folder.
Is this possible? Where are these sounds stored? Is there a certain type of format (.aiff/.wav/.mp3) that is recommended?

The sound should be an aiff.
If you want your custom sound to be available to all users, add it to /System/Library/Sounds (you'll need admin privileges). If you just want it for yourself, put it in ~/Library/Sounds.

How to add new sound effects?

Hi Guys,
I am fairly new to GarageBand and I wanted to had new sound effects. So I came here, read a few posts, an gave it a try. I got a couple of files(2 .aiff and 1 .aif) I went to the library / . . /iLifesoundeffect, created a folder called, Nature, and put to of files in that one. I put the other in the existing Animal folder. Yet, when I open the loops in garageband, I cannot see any of these files. What can I do to make them availble.
Question 2. Is there a way to use mp3 or wav files as well?
Thanks

I cannot see any of these files. What can I do to make them availble.
First they have to be made into "Apple Loops"
http://www.thehangtime.com/gb/gbfaq2.html#soundtracklooputility
Second, you have to drop the files (or the folder of files) onto GB's Loop Browser so that GB knows they exist.
Is there a way to use mp3 or wav files as well?
Drop them into the timeline.

Adding a System Sound (Effect)?

I have recorded a couple of alert sounds that I would like to have my Mac play. Where do they go, and what format are they supposed to be?
I have tried searching for "Basso" (etc.) to no avail. The default (built in) sound effects apparently do not exist on my Mac, despite the fact that they appear in the list and work just fine.
I know this is something simple, but I cannot find them! I have several pieces of software that can manage different sound formats. "Installing" the sounds is the problem.
Thanks.

Convert them to .aiff files and put them in your home folder's /Library/Sounds/. OPTION-click and hold the Dock's Finder icon and select Relaunch. Now, System Preferences->Sound->Sound Effects and select the one you want for the Alert action.

FCP7 Taking an mp3 file (sound effect from imovie library to compressor then import to FCP7

I am clicking and dragging from iMovie sound effects into FCP7 in it's original format mp3 then I am sending it to compressor and using a 48-16 codec
to compress it then I am going back to FCP7 and trying to import it but it does not show up on either my internal drive or external drive. Am I missing something? I have done this all before. Thanks.

Hi
I'm much more lazy - as I have one way to handle Audio and it always works for my projects.
• I convert all to .aiff 48kHz 16-bit - or use Audio-CDs .aiff 44.1kHz
Everything I convert to this - by use of the free program - Audacity
or from iTunes - by burning out on an Audio CD (still .aiff - no .mp3 or ect)
These files works greatly in all my Movie/DVD projects.

IMovie/iLife Sound Effects working in FCPX but no sign of original folders?

I posted this question a couple of weeks ago but received no resolution.
PROBLEM:-
iMovie and iLife Sound Effects are present and working in FCP X 10.1.3 but there is no sign of their original folders on my Mac HD
DETAILS:-
I have searched in Mac HD>Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple and numerous other places.
I have done Spotlight and Finder searches using both the folder names and some of the individual loop names to no effect.
I have used DiskWave to list every file and folder on my computer . . . still no sign.
The computer is a new (2012) Mac mini, Yosemite with very little on it.
The folders were there originally when I bought it with Mavericks installed last month.
I upgraded to Yosemite but as I suffered a few minor bugs I created a new partition and reinstalled Mavericks.
It was whilst using Mavericks that I noticed FCP X could not access the sound effects and a search of both partitions suggested they had disappeared.
However, when I restarted in Yosemite and opened FCP X, the sound effects were there and working in the music browser but were no longer visible anywhere on the hard drive.
This has to rank as a greater mystery than the Mary Celeste!

PROBLEM SOLVED !
I have just been using DiskWave for another matter and accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the missing iMove and iLife sound effects.
iMovie>Contents>Resources
So now they actually reside in the iMovie app itself.
So what caused them to disappear from the "Apple Loops" folder?
I can only guess but I suspect that the switch occurred when I updated iMovie to the latest "Yosemite" version.
Presumably Apple has decided that the best place for these loops is in the iMovie app . . . it's just a pity they didn't tell anyone else!
If anyone would like to test this theory for me I would be most obliged . . . assuming you have an old version of iMove and are running Yosemite, simply update iMovie and look for the new location of the sound effects.
