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!
