Before you begin, be sure to create an Audio or Sound Folder in your main Production Folder. Deposit the sound file (MP3 or WAV) in that place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Harmony, go to the Main Menu > File > Import > Sound. Locate the file in the audio folder, click on it and choose Open. The software will subsequently import the file and place it as a Sound Layer in the Timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can edit the audio clip by double-clicking on the layer to open the Sound Element Editor. From there, you can set where the sound should start (i.e., input the frame number), edit in and out points, add volume fades, etc. You would do so, for example, for animating lip synchronization. In other cases, for sound design with multiple tracks and effects, it would be best to use Pro Tools, Premiere, or Adobe Audition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
