Editing audio « Thread Started on Sept 30, 2009, 1:49pm »
I was not really sure where to post my question cuz it wasn't really directly brother bear related. I hope it's oke here.
As I've been watching many fanvids (which are great), I was thinking of if I could give it a shot. As the standard "Windows movie maker" is just great to start with. Its great to cut and paste all clips and make a new little fanvid. But what about the music? You can add audio to it, but what I was wondering can you edit the audio itself? Isn't there a (simple) program for that? Like mixing some songs up with each other, or edit the spoken lines for instance. Just with cutting and pasting.
(Note: When you got the song(s), or seperated the audio of the film)
I don't know much about the subject, but I do know of a free program you can try: Audacity. I've used it in the past; I'm not sure if I'd call it simple, but I think it should be easy enough to do what you're talking about, and at least it's free.

As far as I know, WMM allows you to have 1 audio track and a track for brackground music, but this could've changed since Vista.
I suggest you use other software to mix the songs up (such as VirtualDJ or Audacity), save as MP3 and then insert it into WMM's audiotrack as 1 single file.
I myself prefer to work with Sony Vegas anyway. I suggest you look it up, if you really want to get into editing.
