I fooled around a bit.
I used Zimbabwe (BMW) and tried to remove the first verse. Did ok.
I opened the wav and magnified the section right before the first verse. On the beat just before the first word I began highlighting. Selected the whole wav from that point to the end. Deleted the selected part. So now I have a 10 sec piece up to the first verse.
opened the wav again, magnified right before the second verse, highlighted from that point to the beginning (opposite of above) and deleted. The I copied the second wav and pasted to the first wav. When I right clicked to paste, there was a crossfade option. I selected it, previewed it, and it was ok. not perfect, but I didn't try too hard.
Its getting late so I guess I have something to work on tomorrow.
any suggestions? discuss.
