Better audio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEdk8OHO0Rs&fmt=22

I had to undertake a quick editing project for my school. A group of kids are dancing to a piece of music called Palladio by Jenkins, and the choreographer lass needed a chunk to be hacked out of the music. I relish the idea of being considered a budding George Martin (or perhaps a budding Jon Astley!!) so I thought I would film the work. Having said that, I do apologise to Jenkins for butchering his work - however disguised the edit may be!

It took me about 35 mins in all, so the 8 mins or so I show here is minus a few experiments with different joins. The final piece is an edit whereby 1:10 is joined to 3:20, by means of a crossfade. The 2 regions were joined together via Logic’s “Merge” command. I think this is fascinating stuff, and obviously similar results can be achieved on a PC. Audacity is fast becoming a very fully featured piece of software (although I’m not sure if it has a crossfade tool), so that may be a viable alternative to Logic Express. LE is more of a music studio (someday I’ll show that) and is overkill if it is solely used for editing.

Enjoy!

UPDATE: This works on 2.0. AWESOME.

I suggest you watch the WHOLE video BEFORE doing anything. PLEASE!!!!

Then read the Notepad file Im going to upload from Stratocaster 2006. READ IT TWICE.
This is a video I put together, its very choppy, I jump around a lot.

I take NO credit for this find. I just learned how to do it from other peoples findings.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE IPOD PLUGGED INTO A SPEAKER TO HEAR THE SONGS, or use the iPhone speakers —only 4 iPhones.
–THE IPOD TOUCH SPEAKER WILL NOT PLAY “ANY SOUNDS” besides the beep alarms that it already has.

You will also need an info.plist file from here: BACKUP the old one. Actually, I think there is a back up in the .zip.

http://rapidshare.com/files/129249716/CustomAlarmSounds.zip.html

HERE IS THE MANUAL:
http://rapidshare.com/files/129250169/Custome_Alarms_Sounds_Manual.rar.html
NEED: CuteFTP Pro or WinSCP
An .aif alarm file (iTunes song)
—I will walk you through this in the vidoe——-CUT A SONG FILE SIZE USING any music editing software, Audacity, etc.
(also I noticed the sound of .aif files arent as loud in some cases as if you played the song in the music application in the form of an mp3 or wav etc.)
You will also need:
SSH-basic know how of editing files, and navigating thru system.
This may take some time, but after you get the hang of it, its easy.

Thats all I can think of at the moment.

For this you need the Big Clock from iSpazio’s source.

Good Luck.
