ive been asked to Dj for a homecomeing dance for a catholic school, the kids dont care about profanity but the school admin doesn't allow it. so im trying to edit them out but i dont know how to fade them out ro anyting. im useing fruity loops, can anyone tell me how to do this?
 
im not sure about that software but my denon hd2500 and my cdn 95 have a efect that scrambles it, kind of like reverse but the track keeps moving froward..... If you only have a few songs you have swears in that would prob be the way....just do it on the fly
 
If you can get the file into an audio editing program (Like SoundEdit16... I know, that probably dates me a bit. LOL) you can just select the word and then "reverse" it. Resave the file as your preferred format and off you go. The advantage here is you only have to do it once.

If you're running CD, I think the above post has you well taken care of.

yes. It does sound kinda awkward. All in all, you would need to find a source that gives you clean music, what are some songs that you are looking for to clean up?

BTW Typically if you can't find a clean edit of the song your looking for, it's usually not appropriate for school use anyways.
 
I would think that if you are going to do more and more school, it would be worth your time to get a subscription service like promo only www.promoonly.com or one of the others...

the time spent having to listen to every song you play and edit every song you play would seem to me to be way way worth it..

The other problem about doing it, on the fly, is that if you miss something, your dead.

I think you can even get edited iTunes
 
most of the music i want to edit are remixed versions so i wont be able to find it anywhere because it doesnt exist, but i heard some somehwere a long time ago that if you play the same sound at exactly the same frequency it would cancel each other out, but i tried just adding 2 of the same acapella sameples on different timelines and playing them both unedited at exactly the same everything and all it does is make it louder...
 
Whoever told you that was really pulling your leg.

You could "Notch" out those frequencies, but your music would sound really weird. Your better off going into a multitrack sound editor and layering an acapella and an instrumental track, then cutting out the acapella parts as needed.
 
I havent a clue but I usually talk over the cuss words in the few that I havent found a editted version or quickly cut the volume a miniscule amount of time or hit talkover.

Sail you like your 2500 as much as I do? Do you have to use the 95's controller also I use my 2500 which also controls the 4500 but the effects dont transfer.
 
alright thanks guys im trying a few experiments right now haha and ill tell u guys which one would work best, and i saw some ads for vocal zappers for people who wants to sing karoke and im thinking i could just use the vocal zapper for that instant.. could work
 
THE ROOF, THE ROOF, THE ROOF IS ON FIRE........ :D:D:D
I just did my nephew's party and I was surprised to what some kids where asking for music, it really scares me (7-12 Y/O).
I need to design some instant ear plugs :D:D:D
 
haha yeah, and im my opinion a lot of rap sounds like guys reading their poems they wrote at home with a funny accent. and anyways i found that the revrese track works best for me and the vocal zapper is HORRIBLE, it makes your songs sound like its being played from a boost mobile phone
 
I should mention that reversing is easy to do on a computer. And most numark CD players allow a "real time" reversing function that doesn't rewind your track. It audibly sounds like its in reverse for as long as you hold the button down.

For computer based editing, I use adobe audition
