  Music editing software

I have a couple of backing tracks that I would like to combine so I can play a medley of the tunes I like. Can anyone advise of what, if any software is available to help me do this?

I would also like to be able to slow music down and loop it to make it easier to learn what's being played, can this be done?

Regards....Barry

Audacity (Freeware - just google it) will be able to do this and more.
You`ll probably need to spend some time working it out but it is a very useful programme

Thanks Will, is there any tuition with it, or anything on here that will help?

Guitars I struggle with, computers and software are even worse.

Regards....Barry.

Barry - there's been quite a lot of discussion here about Audacity, it's one of the more popular programs. Try doing a search for "Audacity" and you should turn up some threads with helpful tips and hints. If not, post a question - there are several people here who use it and somebody will probably be able to help you out.

Don't you have to have seperate interface for Audacity. Now I'm talking like I know what I'm doing.lol


Now when I talk to God he said he'd understand, Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand. But don't ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer you want me to.

Nope, you don't have to have a separate interface. You can use the standard PC soundcard just fine with audacity.

Very few software programs actually require you to use a specific interface to use the software (Pro Tools being one of them).

This is getting complicated now, I downloaded Audacity, moved the track into that I want to modify into it and, guess what, the track is a WMA file and Audacity will not work with WMAs.

I dowloaded software that converts WMAs to MP3 files but whenever I try the software tells me the WMA track I have is protected. Its a track (Hello from Lionel Richie) I bought through the HMV Digital site in the UK.

Any ideas anyone?

Regards....Barry

You could play it and record in Audacity. Creative Sound Blaster cards have a "What U hear" input option that allows this. Otherwise you may have to get a jumper cable from your speaker out to your line in.
