I'm making an intro with music, and I have objects that need to move with the music. It's not on the beat, slightly random, so I can't use regular intervals. Is there a way to do this? I'm not sure if you can use a similar method to lip syncing. Any help greatly appreciated!

You can bake sounds to fcurves:

  1. Insert a keyframe (I) on the transform channel you want to be controlled by the sound (e.g. Z scale).

  2. In the Graph editor, press Key > Bake sound to fcurves and navigate to a sound file. Optionally change the import settings at the bottom of the tool shelf in the file manager:

    enter image description here

  3. Press enter.

Now that channel will change according to the baked fcurve.

    On Blender version 3.6.5 this option can be found in the "Channel" menu next to the "Key" menu – Aistis Dec 17 '23 at 12:50
