get Atomix MP3. you can blend it in nicely with that. The program is easy to use and if you do it right, you won't even notice the spots you cut out and the spots where it starts again.

I use ACID to edit songs. I also like rave music, and make it, so I use ACID a lot. It's pretty straight forward. :)

LOL, I know, I say that to my friends, they're like "Wha? ACID girl?!?" LOL. But yeah, Sonic Foundry's ACID Pro 3.0 is a very straight forward, easy music editing program. Sonic Foundry's SoundForge 5.0 is more difficult, but made for rendering/editing sounds, or sequences, rather than the entire song...but it's a lot more difficult IMO.

Ya like 'em? :) Yeh, I have more, just go to http://www.mp3.com/djlusion But you've probably already been there. My most recent song is Delerious, the one I made before that is Krystal Kalibration. Out of the 7 songs I've made, those are the only ones that I like. But I'm STILL learning how to make music :) 1st two songs I EVER made were using midi files, and putting them together in ACID. LMAO. Now I use mostly Fruity Loops, and occaisionally ACID. :) LOL, but if you want more of my songs than just those two, you can always add me to MSN or AIM, cuz I'm sure I have all my songs still somewheres...my computer's been formatted, re-formated, then re-re-formatted...well, anyways, it's been wiped a lot, so I don't know if I backed up my original songs :tongue: I am currently also trying to produce another song, but it just seems to be lacking something, and I can't seem to pin-point what it is! I need other peoples opinions, so maybe I could send it to you, or whoever wants to hear it, and you could give me feedback. :)

SoundForge is like the Photoshop of music. That program is simply amazing, but takes a LOT more commitment to learn. My friends got it mastered, he makes amazing mixes with it. Took him like 2 years to get good with it though!

Yeh, I haven't made much of an attempt at trying to master it. So many options of things you can do! Although, I've got Photoshop almost mastered now, and I've had the program for less time than SoundForge! If only I knew how to use that program, I really have to learn if I'm going to try and start making really awesome music. :)
