Vista - Audio Editing

09-26-2007

I am trying to create a music CD with songs available thru I-tunes or from a
commercial CD. I want to be able to take a song and simply make it
shorter(phasing it out gradually at about 2/3 the way through it. I also
would like to be able to take a song and eliminate the vocals (mostly because
of offensive language) leaving the music portion in the song. After making
these changes I want to burn it to a CD. Can I do these 2 tasks with Windows
Movie maker or do I have to purchase a special audio editing software
program? Are there free downloads that can do these tasks? Thx. David

If you want a professional one - go with Sony Sound Forge or Adobe Audition
