Stacking sounds on a slide?

I want to play a few sound files consecutively on a slide, ideally without having to click more than once. (The sound files are different sentences.) Any idea how to do this?

To do this without any third party sound editing apps, drag the separate sound files on the slide, then give each a Build In. Set the delay of the second sound so that it waits until the first is finished, set the delay for the third so that it comes in after the second.
Alternatively, if you have QuickTime Pro or a sound editor like the freeware Audacity, you can simply construct a single sound file by copying and pasting the individual audio segments. This will save you from tinkering with delays in Keynote.

How to add a sound on some slides?

How to add a sound on some slides? Not only one slide and not all the slideshow?
Is it possible? It must be!

Keynote is not Powerpoint and vice versa. The way music is currently handled in Keynote has been explained. If you wish music to play across only a few contiguous slides, you make them a seperate file and hyperlink to them using an object for the hyperlink.
Once built, and properly used, the transition from one set of slides to the next set is smooth and the audience will not know (or care) if there is one, two or fifty hyperlinked files behind the curtain. What they see is the content, the message and the effective use of a visuals to backup your actual live presentation. The files you create are not the presentation, you and all you bring to the audience are the presentation. You are simply using a tool to assist youself to help your audience better understand your message.
Using Keynote is found by many presenters to be an easier application to use. If you find Powerpoint easier, by all means use it. Your message will be basically the same to your audience, if done properly.
Feedback is a good way to ask for changes but given the rate of change, learning those few simple workarounds and using them effectively will help you use Keynote (or Powerpoint - yes there are limitations there too) to easily put your point across. Your audience will sense your frustrations as a distraction so it is better to accept the few limitations and make your presentation shine in spite of them.
Good luck.

How to add sound in each slide of powerpoint 2013

Hi,
I want to add sound in each slide of my powerpoint presentations in 2013.Please let us know how to do these things.
Regards
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
I would like to confirm that how exactly you want PowerPoint 2013 to play a sound. For example, add sound to your PowerPoint slide transitions, add background music, or play a sound during an Animation.
To play a sound during a transition, go to the Transitions tab on the ribbon, apply a transition, then click the drop-down for
Sound, and choose one from the list.
To add audio in the background, you can go to the Insert tab on the ribbon and click the
Audio button, choosing Online Audio... to search a clip media on Office.com or select a sound from your computer by selecting
Audio on My PC...
To add sound effects to an animation, you can refer to this article:https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Add-sound-effects-to-an-animation-7d0e2d70-caca-495e-a738-a8257474605e
Hope it helps.

Sound Effects DURING Slide Transitions?

Essentially, is there a way to add a sound clip to play between slides, during the transition?
I'm creating a Keynote presentation that will be exported into Quicktime with hyperlink-activated transitions, and would like a specific sound to play during the 'Magic Move' transition. When the sound is imported into the first slide, once the transition begins, it fades out and stops. Yet if I drag and drop the sound file between the slides, it just creates a blank slide with the sound effect icon in the middle.
Any ideas?

Nope, unless you have a soundtrack on your show, there's no other way to have sound during a transition.

Playing specific sounds on a slide

I'm new to Keynote 08, but familiar with PowerPoint where I can insert sounds (mainly language samples) on a slide and play each one manually by clicking on its icon. This is important if audience members ask to hear one sound again, or hear it compared to another. Is there a way to 'click and play' like this, free of the build order, in Keynote? I've looked, but not found.

Thanks, Brian. It's good to know not to waste more time trying to find how to achieve it. But it's a serious omission in Keynote, and I'll add my voice to no doubt lots of others at the Apple feedback page.

Removing text typing sound from a slide

I can't remove the text typing sound from an individual slide. why not? Should I just be able to right click on the "tpying text" segment in the timeline and click delete? This doesnt' work. Bug!

Don't be so quick to assume something is a bug just because you don't know the workflow.
Typing text objects are a bit of an unusual case in Captivate because they are locked into the slide more deeply than other objects, and hence have to be dealt with somewhat differently.
Right click on the typing text layer, and select Replace with Text Animation from the context menu.
Once you've converted the typing text object to a a text animation, THEN you can delete it. You might have designed Captivate to work differently, but then you might not have thought of giving the users the option of converting typing objects to text animation.

Un even sound in idvd slide show

There's a nice little electronics shop on Campbell south of River. Used to be next to Albertson's but moved a few blocks away and the other side of Campbell. Nice guys. Heavy in Sony, which performs for me. Can't recall the name. Something like Raiders (it's their name [Rader's], I believe).

Audio Files "Stacking Up" on certain slides

Working on a movie...200 slides...have listened to the audio
file and sounds fine...each slide shows an audio clip attached and
each file can be played slide by slide. However, when I publish the
movie as a .exe file or even F4 to preview the movie, the audio is
a mess...the audio continues while the slides hang up. I printed
the bandwidth summary...and it shows in the audio column (for
example) 940.8 KB on one slide with 0.0 KB on the next 7 slides,
228.6 KB on next slide with following 5 slides 0.0.
I checked the settings..."Pause until user clicks" is
UNchecked. I have numerous click boxes on the slides (and it does
seem to be those that are "collecting" the audio files), but all of
these are displayed for "rest of slide" and do not require a click.
I'm using these in a TOC on the left side to "Jump to" other
slides. And mysteriously...probably something I'm doing wrong...it
is the slides designated as "Jump to" slides that have the 940.8 KB
of audio, etc. Not one of them is 0.0.
Any ideas on how I can unscrew this mess?
Thanks!

The first thing that I would recommend is to try split the
movie into a series of smaller pieces. I know that this isn't what
you will want to hear but in general, Captivate does not handle
this volume of slides well.
Another point that you might like to consider, is that a
movie of this size and ulitmately length might be considered
information over-load for your prospective learners.
If spliting the movie into a series of movies doesn't make
any difference then please post each of the files and I (or another
of my fellow ACE's) will be happy to take a look.

Sound problem on slide

Hello There,
I am stumped! I have a Captivate (3.0) app with about 40
slides. The first slide has some audio on it (as well as others). I
have a button on the first slide, which allows the user to skip
from the first slide, which is an introduction with narration, to a
slide which starts the demonstration. The jump is from slide 1 to
slide 3. Slide 3 has different audio on it. It jumps to slide 3 but
the audio from slide 1 is still playing! Slide 1 has about 15sec of
audio, slide 2 has about 16 sec of audio, and Slide 3 has about 6
sec of audio. I am publishing for FlashPlayer 7. I am exporting to
standalone exe files. I set the button for a big jump, like to
slide 37, it jumps there, the audio from slide 1 stops, but there
is audio on 37. It does not play.
How do I fix this one???

hello jsnively,
I have a fix for you. I figured this one out my self (i want
a raise!).
I placed a blank slide with no audio after the slides, in my
case the first two slides each with 15 sec audio.
this blank slide i set to 5 secs long, I think any length
will work (2 sec, etc) as slide 3.
I then hide slide 3. On my first slide I put a button that
will jump to slide 4 (which was my orig slide 3), this works fine,
the audio from slide one stops, and my project starts correctly on
slide 4.
Now as to the reason for this.... I have not tested this as
yet. But I think it has to do with the way I recorded the audio.
For this project, I recorded the audio all in one take for the
entire project. I had the screen captures aka Captivate recordings
(windows, mouse action, etc) before hand. I then added the audio to
the project on slide one, and went into the audio edit portion of
Captivate, and selected "Edit - Audio - Project" then I dragged the
remaining slides into place on the audio wave form. This method can
work for simple projects, but I think is always risky.
When I added the blank slide in my sequence, I think it put a
"hole" in the audio so it would break.
I plan to try a different method of adding audio to slides
shortly form my next part of this project. I will post if the
method works better.
as Captv8r would say "cheers"

How can I use a sound file on one slide, which fades to another sound file on the next?

I am trying to make a slide show that begins with a certain sound file, which then I hope to fade out to the second slide which uses a different sound file, I've followed Apple's online tutorials, but what happens is I get two sound files playing simultaneously. Also, I'd like to add sounds files to different individual slides throughout the presentation, which I want to play independently from the entire slide show's sound track. I have programmed the slides to change automatically. Is there any way I can have multiple sound files on multiple slides all playing independently, without playing over the top of the previous sound file? I imagine this is a simply task, so my apologies if this is the case. Thanks in advance for any help!
kind regards,

Getting sound to work right in Keynote requires a basic understanding that:
1. Sound played during slide transitions (from one slide to the next) must be placed in the Document Inspector > Audio > Soundtrack Well - there can only be one audio file and it plays across all slides
2. Additional sounds files can be placed on individual slides as sound objects - each object can have build-in and build-out assignments, but sound files need at least a Build-In > Start Audio (done in the Build Inspector) - each object, wether a shape, image, sound or movie can have discrete start timing such that the start of one sound object can be delayed X seconds after the previous event. This can be used to avoid overlapping starts or playing. If you know the length of each sound file object, you can adjust the start to occur after the end of a previous sound using the Build Inspector. Click on the More Options Button to display the event build-order list and click on the event to reveal how the build starts and add any delays to start there.
3. Keynote does not have a Fade Feature - any fade-in or fade-out (sound up/sound down) of audio files must be done to the sound file using third party applications and then brought into Keynote. If you'd like to join the crowd wishing Apple might add this feature in the future, you can provide feedback to Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
4. If you need an audio file to play across a few slides and another audio file to play across another few slides, break the presentation into seperate documents, place the audio in the soundtrack well for each document and then add a hyperlink object to connect to the next Keynote document in the series. Note: all files must be "opened" in the background and ready to play or else the next file will attempt to start but stall just when you don't need it to.
Hope this helps.

Can I add a sound to a transition in a Keynote slide show?

I understand how to add sound to a slide, but I want the sound to play during the transition. Can I do that?

That particular feature is not supported in Keynote. If you would like to let the folks at Apple know of your needs, send them some feedback:

Hi,I have 4s,I have a problem since 2days that the ring tone,lock sound,password sound,volume button and slide,calls flash,all sometimes working and sometimes not,plz help me to solve this problem.thanks

HI
i have iPhone 4s with iOS 8.1.3 , since 2 days I'm facing a problem that the ring tone,lock button sound,password sound,volume buttons,slide volume and incoming call flash,
all these not working properly , sometimes it will work and sometimes it will not, I tried to restart the phone many times but I didn't fix the problem
plz help me to solve this problem

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

Synchrony issue between slide and sound

Hello,
I got a wierd little problem. I'm using two buttons with 'rdcmndPause' and 'rdcmndResume' to pause and to resume the slides in my project.
However if I pause and resume the slide several times the sound on the slide starts to lag behind.
I've noticed that the sound seems to be rewinded just a little bit every time I resume the project. In the end the sound is cut off by the end of the slide. I already tried the MACstyleplaybar widget with the same result.
Anybody know how to fix this?
Thank you.
Michael

Editing Sound File and erases all sound from slides

I created a 19 slide project. As Captivate does a
poor job of determining when sound starts vs when a slide appears,
I wanted to move the audio from slide 1 to slide 2. I did that and
all the audio on the remaining slides was gone! Is this a bug or
did I do something wrong?

Actually, the sound from all slides wound up imbedded within
the first slide. Now, how do I get everything back in
sync???

My new iPad sound is not working after updating to ios 6.1

My new iPad sound not working after updating to ios 6.1. Headphones are working fine. I tried all the troubleshoot. can anyone know the answer, plz share with me

Hi,
I have exactly the same issue as everyone above. I only get sound through the slider on the ringtone in settings and through my headphones. I do not get any sound anywhere else at all.
I Have tried:
- Updating to iOS 6.1.3
-re starting the device
-checking that the device is not muted. My slider switch is set to mute rather than lock and is unmuted.
-going into general settings and reset all settings
-the device reset several times (waiting until I saw the all important apple logo)
-removing the last few apps I installed.
Nothing at all has worked, please help!
