Is there a programme that can do this..

[Rixion]

Basically I want to edit a song and take out some instrumental to make it shorter.

Like deleting a part of the song out.

I know theres probably a tool for this and its right under my nose haha, just i can't really think of it.
A little help please? (:

PS Sorry if this is wrong section!!

Does it? That isn't possible I believe.

I just want to cut off some off the extended music (not lyrics :))

[Rixion]

I really dont understand how to edit the song, is there a manual on this audacity or something?

It's not possible to do it perfectly with compressed files, you can get a rough version but it usually still has backing vocals and the music is distorted. You can only do it with raw files from music studios and such (I believe).

Highlight the bit of the song you don't want and hit delete! If you don't know what something does, try it and see, you can always undo it if it isn't what you want :)

It does get rid of lyrics.

What about saving it, says I need to export with some other programme :S

[The Professor]

It'll link you to the thing you need to download in the dialog box that comes up :) Its just a dll

im no good at zipping and all.. ):

[The Professor]

I don't get ya... there isn't any skill in zipping lol. Just extract it to your desktop or somewhere simple now, you can move it later if you need to. If you have winrar, just click "extract" and choose the desktop. if you don't, in XP you just hit "Extract all" on the left in the windows explorer window and choose the desktop. I don't know where it is in vista but it isn't hard!
