Hi all,
If you hit left bracket at the beginning of a song, then right bracket when
you want the song to end, then hit control plus the letter T, goldwave will
trim the file at those markings. You can move these markings as stated in
previous posts, but the left and right bracket, followed by the control T
usually gives a nice trim. I find it less fiddley.

Hi Terry - How do you know when to release the control right arrow key
combination? I start the track playing, use F7 to pause where I want to split
the file, hold down CTRL right arrow, then do the trim, but find it has trimmed
off beyond where I had paused the track! I also tried holding down the CTRL
key, and just tapping right arrow once, but this didn't go far enough in to the
file! -

Hi Andy and Kevin
I've got it now. Andy, using Kevin's original method, select edit, then
trim, then press space bar to listen to the track, and you will see that the
beginning of the track has been trimmed off.
Thanks to the both of you.

Alternatively, use shift + right arrow to move the start marker to the
point where you want the file to start. Select Save Selection from the file
menu and you're done. This assumes you're wanting to remove a portion from the
start of the file.
If you want to remove a portion from the end of the file it's a very
similar approach but you use control + shift + left arrow to move the end
marker inwards to the point at which you want your file to end before choosing
Save Selection from the file menu.
You could also move the end marker right to the point at which you want
to remove the starting segment and press delete. By doing this, you've
selected a small portion between start and end markers. Once deleted, you can
choose save from the file menu.
You can use spacebar repeatedly to listen back to what you currently have
selected so you can be sure what you will be saving when you've set your start
or end markers. There's an undo option in the edit menu so you can back out
any mistakes and try again without doing any harm to your file.
As you can see, there's many ways to achieve a simple edit using Goldwave
so it's just a case of having a play and seeing what works best for you.
Regards.
Kevin

Terry - don't know if this was addressed to me, but will this help?
Start the song playing, when you reach where you want to split the file, pause
the track, and go in to the edit menu and under q points is the drop marker
option, hit enter on this, and a marker will have been placed at the point
where you paused the file. Now go back to the q points menu and hit enter on
split file, then tab through to make your selection, and hit enter on the start
button or split file button whatever it's called.
HTH -

Hi
Andy, could I mail you off list about this, as its probably not
strictly access related.
I'm trying to figure out how to cut off part of a track at the
beginning of a song. I've done it before, but can't remember how. Just
wanted to cut off about ten seconds off the beginning of a song.
Thanks
Terry
