Editing your music

| Ive been reading alot of threads lately that mention DJs who edit the music they download for various reasons such as changing the intros/outros or bpms just to name a couple. I was curious as to how many of you do this and either way what's your opinion on this? |

Acid. So easy to use, and fun too!
I plan on learning Ableton soon though. At the moment I'm producing on it, but havent learned the whole warping and editing thing yet. |

| i've edited a couple. mainly editing stupid things out, like the ing annoying clown laughter in "indiana - do you hear me? (dino lenny remix)". then i've removed some dumb breakdowns and extended some intros and outros on some tracks, as my cdjs don't know how to loop. i have a bunch of other ideas too for some tracks, but i haven't got around to editing them yet. |

Depends how much money you have to spend.
If you dont want to spend anything then get Audacity.
If you want to mess around and do some nice looping, time stretching and rearranging i recomend Ableton Live. Even a light edition of some sort should do. |

Hell yeah bro! Just cut and paste. I just wish it had the same feautres as their other sister product Sound Forge. I'm sure you've heard of it. Sound Forge is actually pretty difficult to use for me, but the features are way better than Acid.
So you're producing on Ableton ey? I thought that was just a live performance tool hence the name Live 5.0. Good luck with that. |

| Ableton live does pretty much everything but actual waveform editing. |

| I do this alot. When I burn tracks to CD I usually include the original version first and then an edit that has either completely cut breakdowns or loops and breakbeats layered over them. |

I never knew that, thanks. That answered my question. |

I use sound forge a lot for editing individual samples... its a very powerful tool in the right hands. HUGE learning curve, but impressive results can be had.
Yeah ableton and reason. Rewire is my friend. :) Reason for my sounds because I'm so incredibly familiar with that app and ableton for sequencing, mixing etc, because its so easy to easy and sounds good.
btw new mix up like nothing you've ever heard from me, because I know you started to lose interest in the house I was playing... :p |

Ableton is probably best for re-edits... since the tempo is strictly maintained. Cutting and pasting in an audio editor will likely lead to tracks which are a total B&*TCH to mix with.
