anyone know where i can find/download a 3-beep sound file?

[Chuck Davis]

Do you mean the tone burst countdown that comes before a video?

If you know what frequency, duration and gap they should be, it's probably not hard to generate one.

I found this one online http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=countdown%20leader

You can also make one by inserting tone at the time you want it to play and then repeating it at the interval you want.

Now what did I come in here for?

[Ed Gambill]

I taught production sound recording for film and video. I would be glad to help, but need to know what you want to use the beeps for.

For ADR (additional dialogue recording) it’s one thing. For sync of audio and video it’s another thing, most often called a 2 pop.

For a slate at the head of a video/film it yet another, 8 seconds long divided into 1 second increments each with a 800hz tone of a bit over one frame long for the first 7 seconds. On the 8th frame a 1,000 Hz tone ending with 2 seconds of black just before first picture and/or sound. The last audio tone being the 2 pop.

Ok now that I know your actual use here is what you should do. I would think you have an audio editor to use.

The beeps you want are much like a musical group doing a count off, they allow you to set up a rhythm/tempo that leads you in to the video clip.

Set up a time line with silence for 3 seconds. At the head of the time line insert a sine wave tone (1k) for .25 sec. leave .75 sec. of silence then insert another .25 sec. then .75 sec. another .25sec and lastly .75sec. Your video will start just after the 3 sec mark.

.25----------.25----------.25----------Start

This should do the trick, if it seems to long just trim out the same amount of silence after each tone.

I e-mailed to you a wav. file with the three beeps and pauses. Did you get it?
