I would also recommend Goldwave for audio editing.

Is there any way of changing audio levels when you publish in presenter? I have some videos and audio in there, but the volume level varies.

Hi Tracy- Have you tried enabling the option “Optimize audio volume” in Articulate -> Library and Options -> Other? Also, if your video and imported/recorded audio are coming from two sources, that may be a challenge. There’s been lots of discussion about audio issues in our forums, so you might want to check there, too.

I’m trying out the newest version of Articulate Pro and I can’t seem to get a seamless presentation no matter what I do to edit the wave file so that the voice and background music transition smoothly from slide to slide. The audio was recorded in a professional sound studio and optimized using Sound Forge Pro. The wave file was sliced into 21 slide segments and transfered using the Articulate Import Audio feature. After publishing and playing back the presentation, the audio gaps between slides. I try and take the gaps out using the Articulate Timline Audio Editor and they just keep coming back. Any suggestions?

Phil- Are you using the background audio feature for your background music? That should provide a seamless transition between slides.

I need to have audio for my elearning or my portfolio in my HR access for work

Hi Kyle- I’m not sure what you’re asking, but are you recording audio via Articulate -> Record Narration? If you’re just trying to add audio, that’s one method — or you could import audio into your elearning course.

I had professional voiceover done for an e-learning programme using articulate engage, it is in.WAV format. When I tried to import I got an error message which said the following

ACM Driver error

What can I do about this?

I imported background music for the first slide of a presentation. I had to re-record the narration first for that slide because I had accidently erased it when attempting to import music (part of the learning curve). Now, when I play the presentation, the first slide sounds good with narration and background music but the volume of the narration on the remaining slides is lower. Is there any way to fix that (i.e., raise the volume) without re-recording the entire presentation?

Background Music Question

I would like background music to run throughout the entire presentation. I’ve selected it for all slides. However, the volume is too high and it stops, or hiccups, when a flash is being loaded to play.

How do I turn the volumn down (independent of the ‘voice – relative’ adjustment) and is there a way to have ‘global’ background music that does not get affected by flash files loading?

Thank you!

Hi. I am using Articulate Presenter 4.109 (have been for about 5 years) and have never had this happen before: I am trying to import pre-recorded audio files (wav) to each slide before I publish and I am getting a Visual Basic “Compile error in hidden module: frmImportAudio” error. What can I do?

Hi, Julie. I would suggest you submit a case regarding this issue.

Similar to Julie’s post above.. We went to make a new module and cannot import the audio wavs

Workaround found for “Compile error in hidden module: frmImportAudio” error”

Insert your wav files manually in powerpoint, set the file to play automatically and then move the icon off to the side of the slide…this was it won’t show (there is no command to hide the icon)..

Thanks for sharing your work-around, Dr. CD!

I have been using Adobe Soundbooth and the latest rev of Audacity to copy clips of existing sound files, but each time I copy/paste the trailing end of the new sound segment has a “click”. Since this is happening in 2 apps, is there the possibility it is due to a sound card problem? If so, any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi John,

I’m not exactly sure what would be causing the click sound. However, you might want to take a look at this article:

If you continue to have problems, you might look into running Windows Update to see if there are any updates specific to your machine.

Another cause of the “click” sound might be the device that you’re recording with. Often times, microphones will “click” when you turn them off or mute them. So, you might want to also look at your recording process.

I hope that helps. If you still have issues, you should post your question on an Audacity or Soundbooth forum.

Thanks Brian…I am reinstalling the OS on my main home system and hope to see some perf improvement as well!

Hi,

I am looking for someone to help edit an audio file I have. Have tried a few downloads, but too much background noise that I can’t eliminate — is this possible? Have not been able to eliminate background noise and would appreciate it if there is someone out there who can be of assistance.

Thank you, M Payne

Hi Marie- you might consider posting your request in our community forums – someone there may be willing to lend a hand.

Hi, I have an issue that I can’t figure out. I have imported .wav files into Articulate and out of 40, 3 have dead air at the end of the slide. I have double check the .wav file and there is no extra silence at the end of the file. What is confusing is this is only happening on 3 slides. Any ideas?

Hi Valerie,

I apologize for the issues that you’re having. Can you check your WAV files and verify that they meet our recommended settings?

http://www.articulate.com/blog/flash-supported-mp3-settings/

If you still have issues, have you tried opening up the audio in the Articulate Audio Editor (http://www.articulate.com/support/presenter09/?p=68) and removing the extra silence there?

I am editing an elearning module. I removed the audio, and imported my own .wav file, however, when i preview, I get two voices…the old and my new. I deleted the audio from the old elearning before I loaded my .wav….what went wrong?
