My daughter is going to be in a fair queen competition next weekend. The song she is going to sing is too long ( there is a maximum length ) . She had the CD and was going to take it down to our local music studio but it appears they have no time to do it. Is there a way I can start the song at a certain place on the CD and then burn the rest to a new CD? I'm afraid I don't know how. I need help fast please.

I have used Adobe Premier to edit both Audio & Video files.

Down and dirty , output the cd song to a casset with speaker out , editet it and plug the casset into the mic input and burn it to cd.

nasty but it works and sound is good.

I figured it out. I used Nero to split the track into two pieces and then deleted the first part. I then added the second part and burned the disk. perfect. My daughter will be happy.

i love pappy's suggestions. u can see the military training at work here. they usually always work and are jury rigged to the max..... i bet his tool of choice is duct tape.... rofl

jj pap, i really do like the practicality.

Any good sound man has done stuff like that. That's using your head and what you have handy. It works, too!

For editing sound files from CDs, I suggest a good editor like GoldWave (I use vs. 5.06). It has many options for editing, including changing pitch without affecting tempo, adding reverb, etc. If you often take files from CDs (like Music Minus One) to edit, look into RipEditBurn from Blaze Audio.
