To begin customizing, you must first select the program or file you intend to customize. This program or file is referred to from now on as the "Destination File," because it is the file to which you will be installing your sounds. The Destination File will appear on the left side of the Agent Audio Pro window and will have its available sounds displayed in the "Destination List."
Your Destination File must be a program or file that contains sounds. Agent Audio will not accept files that do not contain sound resources. There are four ways to open a Destination File:
Click on the "Open Destination File" button, located at the upper-left corner of the Destination List area of the Agent Audio window.
Clicking on this button will call a selection dialog window where you will locate and select the program or file that you wish to customize. This selection dialog will only allow you to open programs or files that contain sound resources.
You can also open a Destination File by selecting "Open Destination File" from the File menu on your menu bar. As indicated here, the keyboard command for this is Command-O, the third way to open a file
Finally, you can drag a program or file with sound resources right into the Destination List of Agent Audio.
Upon opening your Destination File, Agent Audio will automatically display the available sound files within the file in the Destination List. The list will display each sound resources name (if available) and resource identification number. Any sound listed in the Destination List can be customized with your own sounds.
The sound files you will be using to customize your Destination File are called "Source Files." These files will be listed in the "Source Files List," located on the right side of the Agent Audio window, adjacent to the Destination List.
Your Source Files do not necessarily have to be individual sounds. You can also use other programs or files that contain sound resources. There are six ways to add Source Files to the Source Files List:
Click on the "Add Destination File" button on the upper-right corner of the Source Files List area of the Agent Audio windw.
Clicking on this button will call a selection dialog window where you will locate and select programs or files that contain sound resources. This selection dialog will only allow you to open programs or files that contain sound resources. You may repeat this process to add more sounds to the Source Files List.
You can also select add source files by selecting "Add Source Files" from the File menu on your menu bar. As indicated here, the keyboard command for this is Command-F.
Perhaps the easiest way to add sounds to the Source Files List, especially if you need to add multiple sounds to the list, is to drag the sounds into the Source Files List. Doing this automatically adds the files to the Source Files List. You can drag more than one file at a time to save time.
The "Pro" version of Agent Audio allows you to also use .WAV, .AIFF, .AU, and other sound file formats, as well as enables you to record your own sounds right into your software.
