You’ll know you’ve successfully added a
sound effect to your slide when you see
a red waveform in your Soundtrack bar.
You'll also notice a speaker icon appear
on the slide thumbnail.
As you add additional Slide Sounds to
your show, the tracks will alternate
between red and yellow to help you stay
organized.

When you play the show, you’ll hear that sound effect right as the slide it’s
attached to begins to play. You’ll also notice that ProShow automatically
decreases the volume of the soundtrack so that you can better hear the
sound effect. This is a behavior that you can adjust if it doesn’t quite suit
your preferences. We’ll learn more about that later in this chapter.

Adding Sounds from a CD

Another way to add music or sound effects to your show is to use the Save
Music from CD option. This allows you to import music from an audio CD
into your show. This option is only recommended if you have the proper
music licensing rights to use the audio tracks for the purpose of making
slideshows. Typically this will be referred to as "royalty-free" or "rights-
cleared" music. If you are unsure whether or not you have the rights to use
music from a CD in a slideshow, please consult the source or publisher of
your audio CD.
