Often, ordinary users are faced with the task of cutting an audio file. This can be done in several ways. Trimming a song can be done in long, professional ways, or in a quick, almost effortless way.
Fruity Loops sequencer
Fruity Loops is a professional music creation and editing software. In it, you can not only cut the song, but also apply many original effects. Many famous musicians use Fruity Loops to create their instrumentals and compositions. FL Studio adherents are, for example, Russian hip-hop figures: Basta and Slim.
Adobe Audition Editor
Adobe is one of the most renowned software companies. Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat and Macromedia Flash serve millions of users and companies around the world. The sound editor Adobe Audition is a professional music editing and production program ideal for working with vocals and speech.
You can download Adobe Audition from the official website of the company; Adobe gives users the opportunity to use the music editor for free for one month. Trimming a song in Audition is easy. After installation and launch, you need to open the "File" menu, the "Add file" item, select a song on your computer. It will open as a graphical representation of the sound wave. You can move the cursor anywhere in the wave and start playback. Then you can select the places you don't need with the cursor and press Delete.
Online tools
Sometimes it is more convenient to trim audio files online. Trimming a song from someone else's computer will be easier if you don't have to install special programs on it.
