Drag a song or an audio clip from the Audio browser to a specific slide in the Browser: Dragging an
audio clip to a slide creates a secondary audio track, which appears as a green bar below the
slides in the Browser. Clips in the secondary audio track always play on top of audio clips in the
main audio track. However, you can apply fade-ins and fade-outs to the clips in the secondary
audio track, and you can adjust the volume of clips in the main audio track when a clip in the
secondary audio track is playing. You can also adjust the duration and placement of audio clips
in the secondary audio track.

You can fit the slideshow to the length of the main audio track, and you can align the slides to
the beat of the music.

You can use the Audio browser to access DRM-free audio files from a variety of sources, including
the Sample Music folder, the Theme Music folder, GarageBand, or your iTunes music library. You
can also use any audio file imported into the Aperture library.
