Help Editing Music

Saigo999	Date: May 4, 2004 @ 7:10 PM Hi, I hope the answer I seek can be found here. Please move this to the appropriate subforum if it's misplaced. I've ripped this one great song off a DVD that's not available anywhere else, unfortunately the beginning of the song is overlayed to the movie's own soundtrack -- not too bad, but there is clearly a beep/blip cue intended for the actors. I've managed to get it down to .5 seconds -- if that, but there is still an audible blip, and cutting it out would also cut out the intro vocal of the song. So, is there a plugin to polish or some how able to make this particular frequency less "pronounce"? There's an abundance of features within Cool Edit Pro, and one of those must be able to accomplish what I'm after, but I'm trying to edit this thing with absolutely no knowledge of what I'm doing. Maybe someone knows the technical term of "washing out" the high/lows frequencies; atleast with that much, I can go search through the HELP files. Here is the 27kb file, currently in .gif to circumvent OT's forbidden extension, but it works fine in winamp as is, or you can rename it. File is encoded in MP3, FYI. http://f1.offtopic.com/uploads/files/sample.gif I'll go ahead and play around with the native plugins and see if I can track down a Cool Edit help forum of some kind. Thanks

Arthen	Date: May 6, 2004 @ 11:41 AM There's an option in Wavelab under the Process menu called Waveform Restorer. highlight the part of the soundclip you want the beep to be rid off (just about enough, no more no less) and open the waveform restorer window. You can choose from the variety of how much of the clip you want this process to look around for 'replacement' on the damaged part. Play around with this. No guruantees it'll work perfectly because audio never was.
pog	Date: May 16, 2004 @ 2:52 AM In cooledit, it's possible. What you do is go to the beginning of the track, and zoom up really really close. You should see the the wave fluctuates around (above and below) the centre line... what you need to do is cut out up to the next closest point, exactly where it crosses the centre line. Thus when you press play, it doesn't start on a posetive or negative. That should eliminate the pop. Hope this helps.
