Trying to figure out how to put music below like a DJ

I've been trying to figure this out but can't seem to find anything.
Here's what I'm trying to do...
I have a spoken voice track. Below that, I want to add a music track that follows at X decibels below the voice - but when the voice pauses the music automtically jumps up to fill the dead space.
Is this possible to do/automate in Soundtrack Pro?
Thanks.

The process you're referring to is called "ducking." Interestingly enough, it is fairly easy to automate using an old analog compressor/limiter, but I have yet to see a software solution.
I manually keyframe the Compressor/Limiter settings to duck the music track when needed.

  • Trying to figure out how to spin a shape like a top...

    Folks,
    I'm trying to figure out how to spin a shape like a top on one axis starting fast and slowing to a stop.
    It would be nice if the stop was eased in and not sudden.
    I can make the shape spin, but I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to change the speed of the rotation over time.
    I must be trying to control it in the wrong spot because the add keyframe is not enabled.... anyway, I'm obviously not doing it the right way.
    Suggestions please!
    Thanks in advance.
    Tony

    Mark,
    I was, as usual, over thinking the solution. I thought I had to do something else... which I'm not going to try to describe but it involved linking the rotation of my shape to the orbit of Jupiter...
    Your method is much simpler.
    It took a while to figure out how to draw the curve to get what I was hoping for but it worked.
    Very cool!
    Thanks!

  • Im making a slide show on Aperature and Im trying to figure out how to add music to it.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    I need to add music to my slideshow on aperature, can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks.

    There are basically two methods to add music to a slideshow.
    The first method, that Frank Caggiano described, will let you set a background sound track, that will play during the whole show. You will see your background clip fill the filmstrip with a green shadow.
    A second method is, to drag short sound clips directly onto single slides - this will let you add special sound effects at certain moments and will result in secondary audio tracks, that you can adjust in length. These secondary tracks are displayed as thin bars below the slides. (a screenshot from the User manual)
    See this section in the user manual for more detail:

  • I tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures.  i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help

    i tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures.  i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help
    and on a second problem.  I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

    Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
    Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

  • Hi - Re Keynote  I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album on USB flash drive. What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, also similar for embedded videos and photos etc.  Is this possible with Keynote ?

    Hi - Re Keynote  I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album (as an artist) on USB flash drive, (accessible by both Mac and PC). What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, and play in order (like a cd) - also similar for embedded videos and photos etc. This should all be on the one page.  
    Is this possible with Keynote, or any other software package for Mac (am using Macbook Pro) ?

    Hi there,
    Yikes, it sounds like you've been doing a lot of work on this project... Unfortunately, however, this isn't the Adobe Encore forum, but the Acrobat.com forum. While it seems like an exciting question, we're not able to address issues pertaining to other Adobe products and services. Here's a link to the Adobe Encore forum, where you're more likely to get help for this specific issue:

  • I'm trying to figure out how to add my music to my iTunes Library..?

    I have an iPod Classic, almost full of music... I'm trying to figure out how to add my music to my iTunes Library (so I can then sync with my iPhone). When I try to sync, it gives me an alert: Are you sure you want to sync? All existing content will be removed and replaced with songs from your iTunes Library. How can I add my songs? I don't mind backing my files up and restoring my iPod, but I can't even find how to do that. Please help?! Thanks.

    Are you using Mac or Windows?
    With Mac you can click file on the top left, on the dropdown box 'Add to Library...'
    With Windows you could have the folder with the music in open, and simply drag it into iTunes.
    Or simply stick the CD into the computer and let it do it's work
    If you want to backup, it should already do it for you, then once your iPod has been restored it lets you choose from the backups that iTunes has created. That's just me though it may not be the case for you.

  • I am trying to figure out how I can get my library transferred to the Honda Accord 16gb hard drive?  I have purchased music of off I tunes and do not have the physical CD.  Anybody with any suggestions on how this can be done?

    I am trying to figure out how I can transfer my library to my new 2014 honda accord that has an internal 16gb hard drive.  The manual for the car says that it needs to be original CD's but I have purchased alot of the albums/songs I have from I tunes therefore not having the original CD.  Can someone help me with this as I dont want to load each CD into the player to record and have some albums that I purchased off of I tunes that I would like to be on the hard drive.
    Thanks Any Help is appreciated.

    If Honda says you need the original CDs, you need the original CDs.

  • Trying to figure out how to use a video's alpha channel to define its hitspace for a button

    Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to use a video's alpha channel to define its hitspace for a button. I would greatly appreciate anyone's help with this.

    Currently I'm doing an image sequence inside of a movie, and putting the movie in the button. I hope that's what you're asking. Not sure if I entirely understand your question. (Been a little while since I used the interactive side of Flash)
    Anyway if you have a specific process that you personally do that works I'd happily conform to your solution.

    Start up iTunes, and select Music, then click Songs.
    Down at the bottom of the iTunes window, it will tell you how much space your library occupies.

  • Trying to figure out how to change the tuning of certain notes so I can play notes in between pitches for example the middle note between B

    Trying to figure out how to change the tuning of certain notes so I can play notes in between pitches for example the middle note between B & C or E & F. I can use different tracks if needed but I would prefer to know how to do it for individual notes as well. They have to be exactly in the middle so it's not out of tune.

    Danny,
    The theme to Doctor Who is in 12/8. In music theory, there's no such thing as a 12th note, the notation and nomenclature is all based on things being divisible by four. So for the diddly-dum feel to happen, you have to give the beat to a quarter note plus another eighth note -- we call it a dotted quarter note, and now you have three eighth notes per beat so you can go diddly. So, since you can't call the time signature 12/dotted quarter, you call it 12/8 and go faster. Make sense? Anyway, for GB's purposes, all you need to know is that you'll get that feel by choosing 12/8.

  • I am trying to figure out how to merge my AD network account.

    I am trying to figure out how to merge my AD network account with my Mac account. The main reason for this is wanting to log into my admin account on the Mac, and have it also log into my network account so I do not have to log into differing accounts depending on wether I am on the network or not. And I am going to be running VMware fusion with windows on top, so having one account would be essential to this.
    Thanks.
    P.S. I am brand new to Apple, not by choice. ;-)

    Basically I want to link a network account to a local account, so that I always log into the same account, even if I do not have network access....
