Title: Reverse song: White Houses

Don't pay attention to the video unless you want to, no I did not do any of it. Anyone else here of songs like this?

I found it good in a sort of way, felt transcending. Then again, I'm all for the odd kind of music.

Post by: Agent on June 15, 2008, 02:04:56 pm: Anyone have one of those expensive programs that allows you to edit songs?

If one had one we could do it, but they cost at least a few hundred dollar wise.

Post by: VanessaCarltonMania on June 16, 2008, 10:58:39 am: Cant u just open the song in WINDOWS MEDIA SOUND RECORDER or whatever its called?? (usually located under accessories=>entertainment in the start menu)

Post by: portions.for.foxes on June 16, 2008, 08:12:18 pm: Someone reversed Vanessa's performance of Hands On Me at the US Open and it sounds pretty neat. It's very ethereal backwards, I guess, if you wanted to describe it somehow. But at one point she sounds like she's screaming, "Something something LISA! Something something LISA!" lol

Here it is -

Post by: Agent on June 17, 2008, 02:56:05 pm: I can't use windows media player, since my dad decided to get my replacement computer (my old one had the motherboard melt) who is pretty much incompetent and decided not to use real windows, nor use any good components.

Post by: zurielshimon on June 18, 2008, 09:37:44 am: Since I now use the WMA format almost exclusively for my music files now, as it saves the time having to convert MP3's to WMA to rip them to my phone, I can't use Audacity to edit them, but I did find a program called EXPStudio Audio Editor that will work with WMA's as well as convert them to other formats.

I have no clue how to get audacity to work with itunes.

It probably won't because iTunes files are saved in a proprietary format. You'll have to get a program that can convert iTunes files into something like MP3. I'm sure download.com has something that can help.
