Adobe Animate will import .WAV or .AIF , and mp3.
Start with these free resources:
Find more free sounds at The KCADDLC Free Music and Sounds Resource List (external link)
Occasionally a file will not import into Animate. If you import the file into Garageband or another audio software, then export it as a .WAV, it will then import into Animate.
Place sounds in a single folder on your computer drive
(Note) Some (but not most) Mp3 files will give an error message when you try to import them.

This includes all files downloaded from Zapsplat. The tutorial below shows how to convert these files to the .WAV format using Adobe Audition. The .WAV files will always import!

Adjust volumes to create an audio hierarchy
Voice should be the loudest
Foley, effects, and emotional accent music; second loudest (unless it is playing during a non-voiced segment... then it can be loudest)
Existing Music; quietest
