BeatEdit for Audition detects the beats in your music and generates markers for them in Adobe Audition. This means you can easily match the tempo of two songs, edit your music, and seamlessly loop tracks – all with a few clicks.
A transition between two songs sounds much better, if their beats are in sync. This is only possible, if both songs have the same tempo.
In this tutorial, you learn a quick and reliable way to match the tempo of two songs and align their beats properly
BeatEdit detects the beats in your music and generates beat markers in the Premiere Pro timeline.
Create automatic edits in sync with the music or let BeatEdit assist your manual editing process.
If you are used to editing programs you might be irritated that the default live playback of After Effects does not
play audio. To hear the audio you need to do a RAM preview.
For a RAM preview, you need to click the rightmost symbol in the Preview
panel. Alternatively, hit the 0 key on your number pad.
While After Effects itself does not contain any stock music or sound effects, the Creative Suite or Creative Cloud has a big library of stock music and sound effects included.
In CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 the audio files are conventiently accessible from Adobe Soundbooth as shown in Andrew Davis' tutorial Free Music & Sound FX in Soundbooth.
After Effects is very powerful when it comes to make animations that automatically react to the music or the sounds of your project. Here I give an overview over the most common workflows.
