tapps Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 When importing into SonicStage an album such as World Party's 'Bang' where the final track is 27MB because there is a 'hidden' track after 20 minutes or so of silence, is there anyway just to import the music and not the space that is occupied by silence?

sfbp Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 1. Import the whole track 2. Buy a copy of Sound Forge 9 or 10; edit the resulting upload. Actually instead (but not preferred) do an export to WAV and then use any editor you like. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kona702 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I recommend Audacity, Its a free program and there is no degradation and you don't lose any quality of the audio track. Just import the track into Audacity, highlight all the blank audio and press delete. Then export the track to the location you want. Viola! Problem Solved Hope this helps, Sean http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kona702 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 You're welcome! And ditto!! I don't mind sonicstage at all. I don't understand what everyone's problem/issue is with it. I greatly prefer it over iTunes (now that's a program to bitch about), and I even use sonicstage to make my regular audio CD's for my HI-FI system, I like using it better than Windows Media Player because it writes the track titles/album information to the CD, and my Sony CD changer can read and display the album and track info on the rack unit. Plus I just find the software plainly simple to use... it's idiot-proof, IMO, (other than setting it up initially to sync with your MD/Walkman devices, this can be a hassle with driver installation Etc..) Another kinda cool importing/editing program is the HI-MD renderer by MARC...this is really cool and useful for importing quickly and changing the audio file types. http://www.marcnetsystem.co.uk/HIMDRenderer-1.00-beta4.zip Glad to hear someone else "likes" the software as I do..lol!
