Sound Effects on the Fly

Hi...just starting to podcast and I've looked up how to do this but I just can't seem to get the sounds assigned to the musical keyboard or onscreen keyboard.
Does anyone have a great "how to" or example how I can assign sound effects to certain keyboard keys on my Mac to use them during my broadcast "on the fly"
Thanks!

For clarification...
I am attempting to add a laugh track or other sound effect from the GB3 loop pane...to use on the fly as I record...to give my podcast a more professional radio feel.
I follow these directions but can't get it to work:
To add a new sound to the Sound Effects instrument:
Select the track using the Sound Effects Software Instrument.
Choose Window > Musical Typing to open the Musical Typing window.
Drag the region or loop from the timeline or loop browser to the Musical Typing window, and release it over the key you want to use the sound.
If you transpose a region before dragging it to the Musical Typing keyboard, it keeps the transposition in the Sound Effects instrument. It will also play faster (if transposed up) or slower (if transposed down), similar to transposing a sound in a sampler.
When it says to "drag the region or loop from the timeline...does that mean I add it as a track and then move it? Can't figure this out...
Thanks!

    What version of Audition are you talking about?  Going from memory, there was a change to how things worked (starting at CS6 maybe?) from their being a "resource centre" to a "Download sound effects and more" link on the help menu.  Exactly where that leaves owners of earlier versions would, I think, be a question for Adobe, not a user forum (though there are some pretty clever people who visit here.

  • Possible to copy the sound effects off the phone?

    I love the 'robot' sound effect on the iphone which I use for text message alerts. Is it possible to copy/send this sound file off the phone as I'd like to use it on my Mac too?

    Benjamin Frain,
    I couldn't locate one similar to Robot, but there are ones similar to SciFi ( Sci Fi Sweep ) and Old Phone (Old Telephone Ringing) in the iMovie '08 Sound Effects or iLife Jingles. I haven't looked extensively, there may be other similarities.
    Hope this helps,

  • Soundtrack -missing sound effects from the library

    Hi everyone,
    I have recently installed Soundtrack onto my computer ( I have FCE HD) and the content onto an external HD.
    Unfortunately I have noticed that there seems to be a fairly large section of sound effects missing, including "weapons" and "explosions". The reason I know these are missing is because there are greyed-out buttons for them where there is other ones present such as "Sci-fi" and others.
    Can anyone help me find where these are- or do i not get a full sound effect library with FCE?
    I'd be grateful if anyone could help.
    Cheers,
    Dave..

    Soundtrack Pro, that comes with FCP, is a different application, with more capabilities, than Soundtrack. Did you connect all your sounds up? If yes, if you selected the folder that contains them, then that's all you get. You can add more loops from sound libraries online. There are pre-built categories that the Acid loops format uses that will get assigned to the different sections as you add them.

  • Sound effects at the touch of a button (key)?

    Can anyone tell me how, using GarageBand or some other app, you can queue up sound effects, audio clips, etc. for instant replay? I hear this often done in podcasts or even live steams, but can't figure out any way to do it with the Mac. Yes, easy enough to generate GarageBand audio tracks and select them one-by-one for playback, but I'm looking for something with faster access. Ideally I could assign a key to each clip with an onscreen guide showing the assignments. For example, push '1' and you get the sound of a dog barking, push '2' to play back a voice recording, etc.

    Great! That's exactly what I was looking for. I need help with one more item... I chose 'Sound Effect', Natural Sounds, etc., How do I get a list of those sounds so I can drag then to the keyboard? By accident, I somehow managed to do that. In the window below the timeline was a list of all the sounds available for that category, with small icons to the left of each. Try as I may, I can't figure out how to do that again. Unfortunately I don't know much about GB, so could use some help. Thanks!

  • How do you add more sound effects to the iMovie library

    hola
    i was already suggested to use http://www.freesound.org/ but it dosent show up in imovie so if you know hoe to fix that that woud also be very helpful.  i would prefer that the new sounds be free but i would consider a small fee. 
    thanks you to who ever replies:)

    1. You can drag the audio clip directly into your project from the Finder.
    2. Also, you can import your audio clip into iTunes and open the Media Browser in iMovie to iTunes.
    3. Use the Import window.

  • Why is my iPad 2 volume going in and out? Sometimes it says sound effects and the squares on the volume aren't coming up. I've tried everything.

    Why isn't my IPad 2 volume going In and out? Sometimes the volume squares won't come up and when I have headphones in it doesn't work the volume will work for 1 second amd then boom it's gone again! I've tried updating, restarting, and the mute bottom isn't on I've tried everything, but nothing is working. Can someone please help thank you.

    I have the same issue that the international keyboard (globe icon) is not accessible once I updated to ios 7.  I am attempting the restore from iTunes, but receive:
    "Find My iPhone must be turned off before “xxxxx iPhone 4S” can be restored." 
    Of course, I am unable to access this setting on the iPhone.  From my Mac I entered iCloud and tried changing setttings and erasing the phone from the Find My iPhone there, but it did not turn the feature off on the phone.
    Any suggestions? 

  • In Garage Band on iPAD, is there a way to make each key on the keyboard play a different sound effect?

    I'd like to be able to play a number of selected sound effects using the keyboard in Garage Band. I've figured out how to import audio tracks from my itunes library into a track in Tracks View.
    Thanks if anyone has experience with this......

    GarageBand on iPad does not have the SoundEffects instruments, that GarageBand on Mac has.
    The closest you can get to this on your iPad will be the "Sampler" instrument. You can record a sound sample and play it using the "Sampler" instrument and adjust the pitch.
    But you cannot assigne different samples to different keys.
    See:  Play sounds with the Sampler

  • What happened to the sound effects in Garageband after in app purchase of $4.99 expansion pack?

    I purchased a brand new MacBook Pro OS Mavericks and promptly began using Garageband 10.0.2.  There were many sound effects provided in the program (thunder, galloping horses, etc.), and I decided to complete the in app purchase.  Once I completed the download and install, I realized that I no longer had those sound effects.  Does any one know what happened to them?

    Galloping Horses and thunder are not part of the GarageBand sound effects. You have probably other loop packages installed, for example the Final Cut Pro Sound Effects or the iLife Sound Effects.
    Check, how your Loop Browser is set. The pop-up menu at the top of the Loop Browser should be set to "Loops" to have all loops available. Set the "Scale" to any, clear the search field. In the GarageBand Preferences, "Loops" pane disable "Keyword Browsing", filter for more relevant results.
    Now you should be able to see all installed loops. If not, use the command "Reindex all Loops" from the "Loops" pop-up menu.

  • Premiere CS5 will not render video with titles on the fly in preview window

    I am trying to use CS5 and notice if I add a title to the timeline overlapping any video and then attempt to play the video as soon as it hits the part with the title the video stops playing in the preview window. The background sound keeps going but video play back stops. In premiere CS4 it would render titles on the fly no problem. Why wont it do it in CS5? I should not have to render the timeline it should do at least a rough realtime playback without a full render. In CS4 it would play any and all effects on the fly depending on the resolution and the performence would vary depending on how many and what effects and transitions were applied to the clips but its very useful to get a quick idea how it will look. If I scrub, the titles playback while scrubbing no problem its only with actual playback it happens. Other effects and transitions I apply seem to render on the fly and play back in the preview window ok, it only seems to be the titles having the issues.
    Any ideas?

    Usualy capture video from a canon HV30 using Cineform Neoscene capture software, this is 1440x1080 HD 24p clips. (issue with the titles happens on any imported video in any format though, even with no clips but on a matt background)

    Only using stock premiere plugins
    No error message
    I want to use the built in premiere title function to place titles along with fades and what not and then play back clips in the preview windows with the titles applied rendering on the fly. This works perfectly in CS4, just not in CS5. When I try it in CS5 after you hit the play button it will play the clip but as soon as you get to the part of the clip where the title is the video playback will freeze, mind you the clip is still playing in the sense that audio is still going just the video playback stops in the preview window. As a note if you scrub the video on the timeline the video clips will display with the titles applied it should, it is only when you hit the play button the problem happens.
    I have tried adjusing the quality settings in the preview window, updated my gfx card drivers and system drivers along with directx. Premiere is updated. I have tested other effects and transitions and they display fine, including super imposures such as chroma key or ultra key. I have adjust playback settings not that there was much to adjust there.
    I will say again in CS4 never had this issue, I am surprised to see it here.
    Please any ideas would be appriciated thx.

  • Sound effects not working

    Suddenly my iPad 3 with Retina display isn't playing sound effects in many apps. Music and videos playback audio fine. Sound effects in the Settings app work fine.
    I can change the sound effect for sending Mail through the Settings app and hear what it should sound like, but when I send mail through the Mail app, I hear nothing. Some 3rd party apps sound fine, while others are now missing sound effects.

    Hi atennant2,
    This might be caused by account settings.
    If you have multiple accounts on your Mac sometimes when you do a fast
    userswitch settings of the previous account don't update. If the previous user
    had the volume muted in his settings, the account switch might not reset
    this to the settings you set in your account. Now an os update or big server
    maintenance, account cleaning session can cause these issues as well.
    Try to log in to the account you used previously, make sure that sound
    settings are ok, When sound is working now it's ok for your other account.
    Hope it works,
    JP
    (if not: check in system profile wether there are Garageband folders (2) marked as "Classic", delete them.
    Enable speech in the system preferences, restart)

  • 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.
    Ted

    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.
