Need help with audio recording

I have recorded my voice in garageband. Now I want to place it on my desktop and have it play when I click on it. What is the best way to do this?

Just tried what you suggest but it hasn't rectified the problem. sanjampet said to uncheck everything else in iTunes, which helped somewhat - it stopped automatically jumping to the next file in the playlist, except that when I play a second voice clip, afterwards it automatically replays the one I used earlier I guess because when I played it it automatically becomes checked.
My workaround is to make sure I open them in QT (and not by the iTune default by mistake) and then save them on the desktop in that black box they open in. It works but not the best solution, especially if I want to enbed in a keynore presentation.
I figured there should be a way to simply turn off or change the default but I guess not.

  • Need Help with DVD recorder (HDMI) to record off DVR

    I purchased a philips dvd recorder a few years ago and need  help in setting up to record my DVR program recordings. The philips user manual is not very helpful being I'm trying to set-up with just using HDMI cables.  I have a HDTV (Vizio) with a HDMI port; a DVD recorder with HDMI port and my Verizon set-top box have a HDMI port.  How do i get it all to work and be able to record/copy programs from DVR to my DVD recorder?   Do anyone have suggestions on how to set up wiring.  Thanks.
    Solved!

    First keep in mind that DVD is not an HD format, so you will not be able to record HD shows in HD; they will be in letterboxed 4:3.
    The FiOS STB only has one HDMI (out) port. Therefore, you will need to use some other output from the STB to the DVD recorder. Component, or even composite/RCA, because it's not going to record in HD anyway to DVD, will work just fine. Then you want to set your DVD player to whatever input you used to connect from the STB; i.e. mine uses "Input 1" for my composite connection.
    If you turn on your STB and DVD, this will record whatever the STB is outputting to a DVD if you press record on the DVD recorder. This includes all of the program menus and any other on-screen graphics on the STB, and this means you cannot change the channel if you are recording from your STB. You can shut your TV off, but you will not be able to watch another show while recording one to DVD.
    Your DVD player might give you an HDCP message at first when the recording starts if it's getting an HD input, but that should go away after a few seconds, at least for my Panasonic DVD recorder with a composite connection.

  • Need help with audio...

    Hi,
    I need some help with an audio issue...a deep, buzzing sound which is so dominant, i can barely hear the rest
    the situation:
    older VHS tape (about 10 years) - i know some of you just cringed the video quality isn't the greatest, but not the worst. the audio is terrible.
    transferred with my canopus av300 to my mac (g4 d1.25) - no issues
    using FCP 4.5
    i tried the AUGraphicEQ and since it was so deep, i reduced the following to 0:
    800
    6300
    8000
    reducing anything else doesn't seem to work
    i've also tried cleaning in soundsoap both before using the AUGraphicEQ and after. If i clean it with SSoap before AUGraphicEQ, it sounds far better than the original track, but a low buzz is still present. using the EQ again doesn't seem to do much.
    the camerawork was done on a tripod about 30 yds back. no mikes were used either. just the camera capturing both a/v.
    Any thoughts on anything else to try? Any other filters? I fear the buzz is just with the main sound and no chance of completely killing it.
    I can email someone a small sample file for them to play with if you like.
    i'm really at my wits end b/c i would like to ensure i give the client as best i can (the other option would be to send the tape to a colleague's audio expert, but the price is something my client doesn't want to pay
    Cheers,
    Keebler

    Got SoundTrack Pro? It will perform miracles with getting rid of unwanted sound. It's a matter of isolalating a few frames of the sound where no one is talking, and then using a simple command to remove that sound by itself from the entire audio track.
    There is a possibilty that the Hum remover in FCP 4.5 might help...

  • Need help with audio transfer!

    I'm having problems with audio in idvd. The problem is with clips that were pasted into an imovie project from a different imovie project. The idvd preview seemed fine, but when I burned my disk, the audio associated with the pasted clips was inaudible. The same problem occurred with clips that I had "shared" as a quicktime movie and then imported into idvd. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm a total amateur!

  • Need Help with Sound Recording

    Hi,
    I'm a Comp. Sys. Eng. student in my final year and I've been trying to record sound with java for a couple of months now and its driving me stupid. I've looked around on just about every java source site I could find and have found many similar examples of sound recording, none seem to work on my machine. The problem is that I keep on getting either IOExceptions, or empty .wav files (as in the code below). The code included below is a shortened and modified version of some code I got from jsresources.org, the full link is http://www.jsresources.org/examples/AudioCommon.java.html.
    I have not had any experience with multimedia in java before.
    Can somebody please tell me what is wrong with this code? or is my java environment to blame?
    Am I declaring my AudioFormat correctly?
    Am I controlling my AudioInputStream correctly?
    I'm using JDK1.4 in eclipse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                   Asking for a line is a rather tricky thing.
                   We have to construct an Info object that specifies
                   the desired properties for the line.
                   First, we have to say which kind of line we want. The
                   possibilities are: SourceDataLine (for playback), Clip
                   (for repeated playback)     and TargetDataLine (for
                   recording).
                   Here, we want to do normal capture, so we ask for
                   a TargetDataLine.
                   Then, we have to pass an AudioFormat object, so that
                   the Line knows which format the data passed to it
                   will have.
                   Furthermore, we can give Java Sound a hint about how
                   big the internal buffer for the line should be. This
                   isn't used here, signaling that we
                   don't care about the exact size. Java Sound will use
                   some default value for the buffer size.
              TargetDataLine     targetDataLine = null;
              DataLine.Info     info = new DataLine.Info(TargetDataLine.class,

  • I need help with audio in my Premiere Pro edit

    I recently recorded a gameplay with a song track in it. In the beginning of my video, i did a voiceover explaining what the video was going to be about. When im talking, i want to lower the song, then raise the volume when im done talking. How can i do this? If i need to be more specific let me know. Thanks!

    OK, assuming that the gameplay audio with the song is on audio track one and the voiceover is on audio track two.
    All you have to do is to keyframe track one to lower the volume while you are talking and raise it bak to normal when you finish speaking. It is pretty simple.

  • Need help with MIDI recording...

    Hi Fellow Logic Express Users,
    I recently purchased an iMac Intel Core Duo with the Logic Express software program. I have been doing a lot of studying and have created over 25 tunes since I purchased it back in Febuary of 2006.
    If there is anyone out there that knows how to perform a mass MIDI dump all at once from my Roland JW-50 Workstation onto the Logic Express through the M-Audio Uno MIDI port I would appreciate your help.
    Through the years I have written a lot of music of which I have on floppy disks that load easily enough one track at a time, but I would like to see if it is possible to load all of the tracks at one time onto the Logic Express.
    I look forward to hearing from anyone who knows how to do this. Thanks!

  • Need help with audio portion of iDVD

    I have added a playlist from iTunes to a slideshow. When I play it on slideshow, all music in the slideshow is played. However, when I export to iDVD and play back the slideshow, only the first song plays. The rest of the slideshow has no music playing once the first song ends. Help! Thank you!

    Hi jMoose and welcome to the forums!
    My bet is that the audio tracks that won't transfer to iDVD are purchased tracks in iTunes rather than from your own CDs?
    If so what you are up against is DRM copy protection. The workaround is to burn a CD in iTunes of those tracks you need, then re-import them from that CD into iTunes and save them as AIFF files.
    Then iDVD will use them with a smile!

  • Need help with audio on button ASAP THANKS!

    Hi,
    Using CS3 I added via properties audio to the "over" part of a gold button.  The audio I added is 4Mb in size which I had imported to the library.  When I selected "over" on the button and then using properties assigned the audio file .... the wave form appeared ... but not under "over" but over, down and hit.  Thus when I publish what is happening is the page loads fine ... the audio begins to play on roll over as wanted ...
    HERES THE GLITCH:  if you accidently roll over again a new audio begins to play out of sync with the first one ... basically you get the row, row row your boat effect where each roll over audio is delayed.
    MY FAILED SOLUTION:  I tried to move the audio file and assign it via properties under hit. Thus have to have someone click on the sound.  Yet the same outcome happend where the wave form appeared not just under hit but it showed on over, down and hit. The same thing happened when I tried assigning to "down".
    MY QUESTIONS:
    Is this caused by the sound file being too big?  I tried a small audio beed and it would assign directly under the part I assigned but not with the bigger 4MB audio file.
    If it is the size of the sound file, can I link the button to an external audio file. If so, what code would I use if I am using Action Script 2.0. I am very new at action script.
    If it is not the size, could some one please tell me how to fix this glitch.  I would be satisfied with the button working on either over or hit.  If you wish to see what the button is doing, you can see it online at www.signaturehill.com.
    THANKS.

    Hi Erika,
    That might just be what I need ... but I am confused as to where do put the action code.  Can you help me with the following questions:
    1. Did you put it inside the button via actionscript or did you select the button just and ad it there ...  or somewhere else? Since I have several buttons doing the same thing on different pages, I am not sure where to put it.
    2. What was the exact code you used  ie  on (release)  {....   StopAllSounds(); }  .... did you even use "release" or some other mouse event.
    Please include the action script code I might try since I am very new to scripting. THANK YOU>

  • Need help with Audio controller or cue points

    Haven't set up the actual project yet. Just trying to
    determine best method. Will be using Flash Pro 8.
    Goal: create an initial page showing a TOC that represents
    chapters in an hour long audio piece. Clicking a topic brings them
    to a certain point in the audio. Once leaving the TOC, the user
    will see a still PPT jpg associated with that section of audio. But
    they'll also need access to an audio controller so they can scrub
    to different portions of the audio. Once they let up, the PPT image
    needs to change -- if they went to a different section.
    So at first I thought about a regular flash set-up with the
    audio spanned throughout the timeline, PPT images set-up throughout
    the timeline, and frame labels to jump to. But I couldn't figure
    out how to set up an audio controller with this set-up.
    Then I thought about a Flash Slide Presentation set-up using
    a Media Playback component with the Media Controller component and
    cue points. I've looked at some of the on-line examples of this and
    they seem to work when playing forward but I notice that when you
    scrub backwards that the images fall out of synch. It seems if you
    have cues A, B and C and if you begin dragging from the C cue and
    let up BEFORE the B cue the image displays B. It should be
    displaying A though since your somewhere in-between A and B. But A
    doesn't show unless you scrub back far enough to cross the A cue
    time.
    So what is the best method. It seems the latter if there was
    only a way to calculate the time between the two cues. For instance
    "if time is >A but <B then display A".
    But the first example with the long timeline and frame labels
    would be fine if there was a nice controller out there that I could
    implement.
    And remember I need to be able to jump to any spot in the
    audio clip from the TOC menu on the first screen.
    Thanks!

    Is it AVCHD, Mini-DV, or DVD?  What format does the camera record to?
