RR_Trials Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hello all,I need some help, quickly. A family member has died and i have been given the job of putting the music together, witch is all good except for one thing. I am using Audacity to split the 1st song into one chorus for reasons of not having to quickly stop the CD player at a point (witch could go wrong).So 1st i tried it on my dads new mac, and when the song is in Audacity it plays the whole songs in less then a second. I thought this was just dodgy Mac thing, so i tried it on my dads other laptop (windows) and it did the same thing. It seem to play any song i try to import into there in less then a second its just one squeaking noise.Please can somebody either suggest me some other free software to edit the music on (basically trim it and add 3 songs into one track), OR tell me how i can resolve my issue.Please help as a matter of urgency,Thankyou VERY much,Rorz!

Fixed Pants™ Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 You've probably got the tracks you want for the funeral, but, I found 'Matt Monroe - Softly As I Leave You' really got to me, it was at my great uncles funeral and it really is a tear jerker, it was played as the curtains close for his cremation.

RR_Trials Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Thankyou ALL very much for your comments, unfortunately my internet went down so i had to do the long laborious process of recording the songs and doing it like that.I was going to use garage band (as yes its the latest MacBook Pro) but i have not a clue how to use it and i wasn't really in the position to learn, also thankyou for the link and thankyou for the song reference, i had strict instructions on what songs to use but you are right it really is a touching song.Thankyou all.

Dan Clark Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 You might have set the sample rate off. You want it as 44.1kHz, or 41000, however its written, as thats the cd sample rate.If audacity is set to 48 or even up to 92kHz, it'll play a lot faster and be all sped up.
