  • IMovie9 places random audio when exporting!

    I have a problem that seems absurd. Forgive me for not being too technically inclined.
    I have spent countless hours editing a movie with music overlaid as well as audio grabs moved etc. It looks great on screen - usually.
    Sometimes when played back it loses some of the original sound. If I go to the audio of that clip and basically do nothing but check it and hit 'done', it returns.
    More confusing is when I export. I have tried exporting to iDVD and Toast to put it on DVD and for some reason it places random audio. There will be a car scene with music that I placed and suddenly there will be voices or waves crashing from a totally different source. There is no evidence of this audio when I check the project.
    Another problem is that it refuses to remove audio when I have reduced the volume to zero, for example when I have fast motion and don't wish to hear the squealing sound. My only solution is to detach the audio and delete it. This is a problem that is frustrating but can work around. The first issue is my main issue as it makes all my efforts worthless.
    The management of the audio seems quite random and uncontrollable during export.
    Does anyone have any ideas or experiences
    Thankyou

    Of course that's always the way
    As soon as I posted the question I found the possible answer.
    Speed changes not on the marks like 200% or 400% cause the problem. I have many at 80%. Exactly where I want it and if I change to 50% (looks crap) or 100% (kinda pointless) it will stuff up my timing completely.
    Wonderful. Starting to dislike iMovie. hmm

  • How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    Hi Ed
    Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
    audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
    So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that.  To explain
    further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
    default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
    folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files.  This is very tedious
    process when you have alot of files to save.  So my question was is there a
    way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
    file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
    the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
    spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
    prodcution folder I want.
    I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
    Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
    have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
    would be nice if I could do everything automatically.  Microsoft makes this
    capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
    do the same thing.  Your help with this would be appreicated,
    Thanks

  • How do I turn off the audio voice correction while texting??

    Can someone tell me how to turn off the audio voice correction I keep getting while texting????

    If you mean the phone is talking to you when you tap on things, go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn off Voice Over.

  • How can I stop random audio advertising files from playing?

    Recently, my Macbook Pro has been playing random audio files.  They are mostly advertisments about mucus medicine and news clips about soccer.  Yesterday, I discovered that when I quit Safari, the audio stops.  Today the problem is back again.  What can I do to get rid of these annoying ads?

    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Make sure that "Block pop-up windows" is enabled.
    Temporarily disable the plug-ins
    Safari >  Preferences > Security > Web content:  Enable plug-ins
    If the audio is from Flash based ads it should stop.
    Re-enable that feature later.
    Best.

  • Importing audio voice file changes the pitch in Logic Express

    I noticed something weird with my Logic Express 7. When I import an audio voice file. The pitch seems to be lower in Logic when I play the file than compared to the original file. Does anyone know what could be causing the pitch change? I though I was going crazy, but something is definitely change the pitch when I import an audio file.

    Hi,
    The only thing I can think of right off is that the original is a higher sampling rate file than what you have set for LE.

  • Random audio file playing

    Hi!  I've been having random audio files playing on my RAZR.  It sounds like a video that automatically starts playing on websites.  However, I'm not on the browser, have windows open, or even using the phone.  I unlock the phone and there's nothing in the notification bar.  No apps are open on the home screen. 
    My Alarm Clock Plus app will sometimes play an alarm after I've turned it off.  Because there's nothing in the notification bar to stop the music, I have to shut down my phone to stop it.  This may be an app bug but has anyone had random audio files playing?

        Hi Es80
    It sounds like that phone is possessed! Let's get this fixed! It sounds like it may be an application error. Please power the device on in safe mode and retest. Here's how:http://bit.ly/QfA8MZ
    Please let me know if the issues persists.

  • X-Fi Xtreme Audio [Windows 7] Random Audio Glitches

    Hi I have Windows 7 and a PCI X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card. (Not PCI-E). My problem is I get random audio glitches when listening to music or playing a game. No card I have had before had this problem. My computer is fast enough and I have the latest Windows 7 X-Fi Xtreme Audio driver installed. So what might be causing this?

    #Did this happen right after you install the sound card new or did this happen out of the blue?
    Sorry I don't have any further suggestion at this point, you might want to contact Customer Support to see how they can help you further.

  • How to get two audio voice and how to identify its frequencies

    hello,,
    i am new to javax.sound .. here anybody help me in my mini project
    1.. i hv to get to audio voice from two different person same time...
    2 next i hv to visualize their audio frequency.... so sure that both the audio voice vary in frequency..
    3.. i hv to seggregate this two audio voice and store it in different file and hv to play it separately
    is here any body to help me
    i will be greatly thanxful 4 ur info

    1. How are you getting the voices at the same time? Are these signals
    coming from the same line, e.g. microphone? Or are you just reading
    two audio files from disk?
    2. To get the frequency of a audio signal, you'll need to do Fast Fourier
    Transform to that signal. You'll propably need a third party library for this,
    search for this with google.
    3. If your signals are coming from the same source, it's going to be very
    hard to filter out one of these voices. If you don't know anything about the
    voices in forehand, I don't think this will be possible.
    Give some more information about what you're trying to achieve.

  • Random Audio Signal

    I haven't seen anyone else with this particular issue on the forum yet and I dont know if this is specifically a Snow Leopard issue, but ever since I got my new 27" iMac a couple of weeks ago, a random audio signal seems to be creeping up and playing on my computer for no apparent reason. I have closed all applications in an attempt to kill it, but the signal continues to play. It comes in the form of various things, sometimes it sounds like an audio clip from a sports movie, or a rap and hip-hop radio station, or a short commercial, or an indy rock song. These alternate over the course of a few minutes, then the signal fades away only to return a few minutes later and start all over again. I hadn't heard it for a a week or so so I thought the issue had been resolved, but it returned last night and continued through this morning. I thought maybe I was picking up on someone else's bluetooth device signal and receiving whatever it was they were listening to at first, but if I attempted to make my computer "undiscoverable" Ill lose the ability to use my mouse and keyboard... Any one have an idea what could be going on and what I can do to fix it? Thanks!

    I hadn't thought of moving the computer. The TV receiver is pretty close by I guess, but ironically, we don't get much reception through it. I have my PC set up right next to the iMac, and I used to use this work station the majority of the time with my MBP without ever picking up any kind of signal. Im pretty sure theres no radio station anywhere nearby, unless some kid is running one out of his bedroom next door or something. Interestingly, I haven't heard it since I first posted this, but Im anticipating its return any time... It doesn't bother me as much as it does my wife. It seems to happen when Im not around and she's working on the computer (conveniently), but its usually still going on when I get home. I was unaware of any radio receiver built into the computer, is there a way to turn it off, or temporarily disable it? Thanks everyone.

  • Random audio playing on iTunes

    Every time I open iTunes and start to play music, random audio will start to play. Today it was audio from a commercial for computers. I've also heard wacky chinese lessons. I cannot figure out where this audio is coming from. It does eventually stop after a couple minutes but it is really annoying when I'm trying to listen to music. Has this happened to anyone else and is there anything I can do to stop it?

    Just curious, are these 'spooky toons' playing in the background of the song you were clicking on?, or do the play instead of the file you were clicking on?.
    What other programs are open?
    Are your computer connected to a local in house network together with other computers?.

  • Audio voice-over

    Can voice-over (i.e. new dialogue) be added to video in premiere elements 11?

    maxtilly
    I am not sure of all the details of your workflow other than your need for audio voice over.
    If you are planning on using Premiere Elements narration for that task, you might want to check out my blog post titled
    "PE: Narration Recording Stops After 30 Seconds" just in case.

  • Why I have to mute Audio Voice Recording Track always in order to subdue the voice recorded when I want to solo other tracks, audio or midi for listening.The other audio tracks don't sound without being muted. Please advise how to deal with this .Thanks

    Why I have to mute the Audio Voice recording track  ( the first voice track ) always in order to sudue its recorded sound while I want to listen to other
    tracks ( either audio or midi tracks ) in solo ?The other audio tracks with voice recording do not have to be muted in order not to  interfere with other
    tracks turned on solo. Can someone kindly explain this phenomenon and any way to fix this ?
    Thanks
    Dan

    Thanks, ATR,
    I wll try this--but I still am unclear on how to do what the Manual says is possible: select clips on another track that WILL be moved, if I so desire, so as to remain synched to the main Video track.
    UPDATE:
    In the case of inserting Freeze Frame, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
    1. Put Video on Vid1 track
    2. Put Music on Sound Track
    3. Ran a few seconds of Vid
    4. Stopped Vid, selected Freeze Frame
    5. Held down Ctrl key while clicking "Insert in Movie"  also tried with holding down Alt key.
    Result: a 3 second still was inserted int the Vid1 track.  A corresponding gap was created in the Sound Track.
    6. Slid the final part of the Sound Track to the left along the timeline to re-connect it to the next segment created by the above process.
    Result: the video following the final Freeze Frame was pushed to the right end of  Video1 track.
    7. Slid the Sound Track all the way to the left.
    Result: the entire Video 1 Track contents were pushed to the right and divided in pieces.
    I documented each step with screen shots which I can send if you want them and if I can figure out how to do it.
    UPDATE #2
    In the case of inserting a video clip to the Timeline, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
    1. Locate video in Project Assets
    2a. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), hold down Ctrl, click Insert to Timeline.
    Result: Vid clip is inserted on Video 1 track, Sound Track is separated with a corresponding gap.
    2b.  R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), push Alt
    Result: pull-down menu disappears as soon as Alt is pushed down.
    I can stil drag the Vid clip but it's one more manual step...I love shortcuts!!
