kelly jett Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 hey sneely,the easiest way to do it is to get a copy of the audio from the movie. either from youtube or if you have the movie itself and pull it off of there. i did it last year in my display with several other scenes from the movie and spliced them together. you can find many different scenes from the movie on youtube and then just download audacity to your computer. audacity software is free and will let you take any audio and edit to what you want. you can cut down music as well as insert sound effects and voice overs. the software is really simple and alot of people on the forums use it to create the songs and lengths that they need. if you love a song but not all of it then you can edit the way you want. you can fade in and out and blend songs together very easily.check it out and play with it. its really easy to use and can solve alot of the timing issues and flow of some songs.i've used it with many songs to fade the music down with the lights at the end of a song and then fade it back up with the next song.hope that helps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 You can look Google DVD or Audio rippers. There are a number of free and paid versions that will do the trick.AOA Audio Extractor is free and it words with avi, mp4 and other video formats.I own #1 DVD Audio Ripper and this will pull it right off the DVD for you. You can queue up the section to rip, the if you want use Audacity to finalize it.I have also used the method that Kelly refers to. That works as well.

digdeepfundraising Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 i have loads of clips of that movie what part would you like ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneely Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 I did that but I took the first 45 min of the movie and cut to about 7.5 min. I have a visualizer of my show on youtube. If you have the software it is not bad. What I did was to rip movie from dvd to hard drive. ran though a program and cut the parts out i did not want. then ripped the video off and saved as a mp3 file. then it needs to saved through audacity to a constant 128. if you want to see my youtube let me know and i will find the link. i have it here on this site somewhere. I am trying to get my new computer running with correct files and stuff so i do not have information right here right now.Yea I'd love to see it thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Maue Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I want the part where he says I dedicate this house with 250 imported lights , drum roll , joy to the world , and it not going right and the woman says that's pissing away money then him making the sound as he is plugging up the lights and then halleuja song , not much lmao.I'm pretty sure those are 2 different scenes. You may need to get the two of them and then join the two audio files together end-to-end. I used the second of those two scenes in my show last year. I just searched for the .mp3 file online. Maybe the other one is out there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyLightGuy Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Just opened my first lor controller and this is exactly what popped in my head. i have searched for the file, if any body could help me out with this , I definately wanna start my show with this. Thanks. and I am also open to anyone that may be willing to show me the way to a couple of sequences to download. I hooked up four mini trees and sequenced only four channels to a two minute song. WOW! Two hours later on four channels and I am not close to being happy with it. Any suggestions for a staight up noob on the sequencing would be greatly appreciated.MY LIFE IS NOW OVER, I find my self thinking about xmas light 24/7, everything I look at, I think, what a great prop I could make out of that. My wife is not into it as I am so I told her she could have me for 2 weeks after xmas and that might be all she sees of me on one years time from here on. Any ways, my name is Chas and I am glad to be a new LOR owner and part of these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
