Do you make edits of songs?

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

Do you edit songs or make remixes or anything like that? I sometimes edit songs that I upload onto my computer from CD for length or sound. Sometimes I'll even add in some extra dimension to the song to make it sound better but usually I'll just edit a song.

Some recent examples include 'Curbside Prophet', where I edited out the first chorus so that the song goes directly into the verse.

I also edited 'National Steel' by Kathleen Edwards where the song is shortened by more than a minute but I took a chorus and put it at the end where there was no chorus before.

I edited Sondre Lerche's five+ minute 'two way monologue' down to just over 4 minutes (but later found an actual radio edit which is just over 3 minutes long).

I added instrumental in the beginning of Britney Spears "Outrageous"

I looped the beat in the beginning of Fefe Dobson "Don't Go"

I took out the rap in Justin Timberlake "Like I Love You"

I took out the "Y'know, I used to dream about this when I was a little boy, never thought it would end up this way" part in "Like I Love You" and replaced it with the instrumental.

Copycat!

and I do it all the time (editing songs).

I edited "Deliverance" by Bubba Sparxxx and "Travelin' Soldier" by the Dixie Chicks.

In Portishead's Only You, I edited the beginning instrumental part where the DJ record is going out of control. After the 2nd hook I did it again and replaced it with the first part of the song.

In Truth Hurts' Addictive, I edited out Rakim's part and put in another chorus.

I also edited 'Travelin' Soldier' down to around 4 minutes, I think. I like my edit. And I remixed 'Top Of The World' by taking the violins at the end and placing it over the entire song. It sounded pretty good... but I lost that remix when I got my new computer.

How did you edit 'Deliverance'? I tried to but I couldn't do it and still make it sound good. I didn't want to remove any of the verses though.

What do you guys use to edit songs?

[Lohanfan]

The only way i edit songs is by deleting them off of my computer after i get sick of them.

I use Sound Studio. They give you a free thirty day trial. When I use up those thirty days I just download it again.

[BlahBlahBlah]

I use Cool Edit 2000, it's now called Adobe Audition, but I haven't upgraded yet.

I've never made an edit, but I would like to combine the two copies of "If I Ain't Got You (Remix)" that I have because the ending is cut off on one of them and the beginning is cut off from the other.

And I wish I can get rid of all the "Trackmasters Inc" voiceover that comes on on various parts of several MP3s I downloaded.

LOL!
I always wanted to hear a "Toxic" with more of Britney saying, "Intoxicate me Now, With your Lovin' now, I think I'm ready Now". I am in love with that part.

How do you edit these songs, make instrumental intros for them, etc? I'd love to get the software, what is it, how can I get it, and is it easy to use?

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

Often times I'll just take a part from somewhere else in the song and move it to the beginning if I want to make an intro or whatever.
