Hi Sean!

The procedure I described is correct. The only thing I can think of that
might cause it to go wrong is the selection. Are you familiar with the
difference between selecting a track and selecting audio within a track? I
had to ask, as I can'T think of anything else. Perhaps someone else has an
idea?

Cheers, Robbie

Well, apparently I just can't get this. That didn't work for me either. I
imported both files, selected the music track, found the location where I
wanted the voice track to come in, placed the cursor, unselected the music
track, selected the spoken or voice track, alined the tracks using the
aline with cursor, & had the music track in both tracks in the table then
with no spoken track @ all. Exported it in MP3 just to make sure, & played
the exported MP3 track which was just the music track.

Hi Sean!

Using the music track, you need to put the cursor where you want the
spoken word track to begin. You can set the cursor by pressing shift-a,
then adjust it with the arrow keys. Next make sure to unselect the music
track and select the spoken track. Now you need to align the selected
track with the cursor position. You'll find this option in the Align
Tracks submenu located in the Tracks menu. Note that if you change the
length of the music track later on, this will effect the position of the
cross fade.

 

Cheers, Robbie

    Hello:

Thanks so much for this list & any help which anyone is able to give me
going forward.

I have read the manual several times but I'm not able to figure out
exactly what it is that I'm doing wrong.

I am attempting to put together my first podcast. I have both the files I
intend to use. My intro music & my recorded spoken audio. I am wanting the
spoken audio to come in when the music begins to fade. I've already got
the file set, the music fading in the right place but I'm not exactly sure
how to place the spoken audio where I want it to go. I've tried pulling
both files in to a table, selecting all of the audio on the spoken file &
pasting it where I want it in the music track. No go.

What is the best way to make this happen? Thanks again.
