Hello,
I have a 10 second clip of heartbeat and a song that needs to be in the background of a VideoWave DVD. I need to have 30 seconds of heartbeat, then the song, then another 20 seconds of heartbeat. When I copy the heartbeat files and put them in as background audio, they have a few seconds of silence between clips. I can't figure out how to merge them into a solid 30 seconds. At the end of the heartbeat, I want the song to come in during the last few heartbeats (where they overlap for a few seconds).

I saw there was a way to just use the 10 second clip one time and loop it for the 30 seconds, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it by the instructions on the help center.

If anybody can explain it easier for me, I would greatly appreciate it!

Ya'll have provided tremendous help on this project already--and I'm almost finished! I didn't get this done in time to meet my deadline of this morning, so I had to give a less complicated version done in MyDVD to hold them over for a few more days! I'm still trying to get this perfect and learning a new program at the same time! Couldn't do it without you!
Thanks so much,
Grammy

Take that 10 second clip into Sound Editor, highlight it, copy it, then paste it at the end of the first clip. Zoom in on it, and remove any gap that may exist.

Repeat if you want to make it longer.

To save the new clip, you click on File, then click on Export Mix, and select .wav, and save it as a different name than the original, and save to whatever folder on your hard drive that you want it in.

Thanks for responding, GrandpaBruce. That sounds easy enough to do...but I can't find the sound editor!

In VideoWave, I clicked to add audio, found my heartbeat clip and clicked it. Then it asked which track, so I clicked music. In that window, I clicked on the edit tab (music note with a - sign) and the audio trimmer came up--not the sound editor.

I did find the help topic for sound editor, but it didn't say how to pull up the sound editor for the soundclip. Could you please tell me where to find it?
Thanks,
Grammy

Sound Editor is a separate program within the EMC 9 Suite. Click on the Home icon on your desktop, then click on Applications, and you should see it in the list.

Once you make that new clip in Sound Editor, you use that clip in VideoWave.

Thanks for directing me to the sound editor. I'll work on getting the sound edited and get back to you if I have more questions. I appreciate your assistance.

You are welcome, and I meant to say EMC 8 suite, but it is in all Roxio suites that I have had.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for your help with the sound in my project. It is all finished and worked out great! Couldn't have done it without you!
