e.g. - clipping the first song (verse) & seamlessly joining the second song (verse) on the same timing beat. Audacity has several pitch and tempo adjustments you can use to help accomplish this. I.E. you can slow down the faster clip or speed up the slower without affecting the pitch. You don't want to do too much of this though - no more than about a 10-15% change - or it starts to sound a bit strange.]]> In The Studio Moonrider https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/free-software-to-edit-join-music-files/#post-366706 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/free-software-to-edit-join-music-files/#post-366671 Wed, 18 May 2011 21:19:00 +0000
Alan -

are you telling me that the method you are describing will "automatically" sense the timing/beat of the two different songs & bring both files together on the same beat? Almost like beat mixing, but kinda not, since I am actually merging two clips abruptly on the same beat sequence instead of fading/seg-ing one into the other.

I will download audacity & give it a go. I had used it in the past on a limited basis & I thought I remembered seeing something like what I was looking for. I am a bit miffed that my pay program, Goldwave will not do this, or at least I have not been able to find it in any of the options/settings/etc.]]> In The Studio katmetal https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/free-software-to-edit-join-music-files/#post-366636 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/free-software-to-edit-join-music-files/#post-366600 Mon, 16 May 2011 17:03:21 +0000
is there software (free?) out there that will do this, maybe showing a timeline or some other reference point that will enable me to join the files seamlessly, having the music come in on the correct beat? I don't want to have to pay for software, since this is something I may not really do all that often.

Thanks in advance! :) Turn the beat display on in Audacity preferences, and use the "Find Zero Crossings" to move the cursor to the best spot to split the files on the beat you want. Then copy and paste.]]> In The Studio Moonrider https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/free-software-to-edit-join-music-files/#post-366600 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/free-software-to-edit-join-music-files/#post-366593 Mon, 16 May 2011 09:34:08 +0000
Have the first two lines in one track and the second two lines in another then use the "<->" function to move the second track around a bit. If you do it on fairly high zoom you should be able to match it up with a bit of trial and error.

Then crossfade between the two tracks, listen to it a few thousand times to make sure you're happy with it, and export as WAV or mp3.]]> In The Studio Alan Green https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/free-software-to-edit-join-music-files/#post-366593 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/free-software-to-edit-join-music-files/#post-41270 Mon, 16 May 2011 03:37:31 +0000

I hope I explained that in a way that makes sense, conveying what I want to do... :roll:
