Sometimes even the most distant from working with sound, the user faces the need to edit audio files. Most often, you need to cut off the unwanted part of the sound recording or just cut the favorite fragment of the song to install it as rington on a mobile phone. Thus, the question arises - what software tools to use to solve these tasks and actually how to do it?
1
Software for professional work with sound (sound recording, reduction, mastering) is very demanding both to the technical characteristics of the computer and the user, since it requires some knowledge and experience. Only to trim the audio file use such programs does not make sense, especially since almost all of them are paid. An easier audio editor can easily find and download free access.
2
Take for example the WavePad program, the full description of which and the download link can be found here. It is conditionally free, that is, a set of basic functions is available in the basic free version without a limited test period. In addition, Wavepad is very easy to use, quickly installs and consumes little system resources, but unfortunately, it is not Russified, although the interface in it is so extremely understood.
3
After installing and starting the program, press Ctrl + O to open the desired audio file, or simply drag it from the folder to the workspace program for automatic opening.
4
The trimming process is very simple: using the mouse, select the desired fragment, after which you can delete it (the "Delete" button on the panel from above in the program or on the keyboard), cut ("Cut" or Ctrl + x, respectively) or copy ("Copy" or Ctrl + C) and insert ("Paste" or Ctrl + V) in the right place. Use the zoom wheel to zoom, space - for starting / pause playback, SHIFT + left / right arrow for more accurate selection. After trimming, save ("Save" or Ctrl + S) the resulting result with a replacement or in a separate file ("File" - "Save File As ..." or Ctrl + SHIFT + S).
5
Users of smartphones running OS from Apple and Android can find similar free applications on iTunes and Play Market, respectively, for example, by search query "Audio Cutter".
6
So, for example, a mobile application MP3 Cutter & Ringtone Maker For Android, it has a similar interface and the functionality to which one more is added - the ability to immediately install the cropped melody as a signal for calls, alarm clock or reminders on its smartphone.
Thus, you can easily and simply cut any audio file in the desired way with a PC or smartphone.
