You can import audio by using the Trax-editor. Simply go to window -> animation editors -> Trax editor. Import a sound-file, and then right-click on your timeslider and select sound from the pop-up menu.

I'm not sure what you mean with question number two, but you can animate an object by setting keys on the object at different positions.

Hope it helps you user added image

Hmmm, try to set the playback speed on your timeline to real-time, 25 fps. window -> Settings\Pref -> Preferences-> Timeline. If that doesn't work, I don't know why you're sound is distorted. user added image

Maybe you can try to change the audio file into .wav, pherhaps that is better.

i Will give ya my opinion ... I think is better to render you animation without sound then import it into some programs like Sony vegas or Ulead media and add the sound to the animation ... play with the sound to be perfect for the animation it will spend ya some time .. that's how i do my work user added image
