    Posted by Mindy4pole on August 15, 2010 at 6:02 am

    I’m finally entering a competition (Miss Texas Pole Star)!! It’s on Sep. 16th, the Friday after my 35th birthday, so I think it will be a good celebration!

    Anyway, they require that your song be exactly 3 minutes. I found an inspiring song which is, of course, too long. All I need to do is cut one repeat of the chorus, and I’m good. But I can’t figure out what tool to use for it! I’ve downloaded a couple of things, and they just wouldn’t work.

    Any suggestions??

    Thanks sooooooo much!

    Try one of these

    The only one on that list I can vouche for is Audacity – I have used it and it’s pretty simple. I do some sound engineering/vo work and I use Adobe Audition but I don’t think there is a light version or a trial version if it. You can always opt to have someone do it for you too. I think a studio would probably only charge about $50.

    go to your nearest guitar center and ask around in the dj/sound system department. many guys that work there cut music as a side gig. shouldnt cost more than $25 and takes them very little time to do it. you definitely dont want a bad cut of music for your audition piece

    Thanks for the suggestions! I realized I was making things way to hard, and just did a fade out at 3 minutes. It sounds great, and the time is just right.

    I used a program I downloaded called WAV mp3 Editor Pro.

    I’ll post a video of my choreography after the competition is done!
