Brian Mitchell Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Im just wondering if anyone has an edited down version of Bruce Springstein's Born in the USA. I'm looking for a version in the 2-3 minute range because the full version seems to drag on too long for a sequence.Just hoping someone has one so I don't have to re-invent the wheel.Thanks.

Max-Paul Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Brain,Dont you have a copy of "Audacity"? Along with something like MP3Gain are common tools that most guys and gals doing this Christmas lights to music. Using Audacity you can trim up any song you like to the way you like to see / hear it. No need to sit back and wait for someone else to do it for you. BTW both are share ware to my understanding and can be downloaded from the net.

LOLDid you say fast fingers or fat fingers LOL Brian I agree with the other guys I had no idea what audacity was but once I figured it out it is very easy to use and my computer skills are peanut du miniscule so anyone with some computer knowledge should master audacity in a day or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Cherry Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Audacity has a gain feature also.Open your audio file either MP3 or Wave.Under EFFECTS>Amplify you will see a dialog box come up with your amplitude of that audio file. You can use the recommended change to make the audio file at 0db or change it to another amplitude you want. I normally set mine to -3db. I do that as the 0db setting is to hot for my transmitter input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Mitchell Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yes, I have Audacity. It usually takes me a couple hours to shorten a song to make it sound good. I'm just trying to save time and energy if someone has a shortened version they are willing to share.Like I said in my original post, why re-invent the wheel.
