MP3 Editing Made Easy
It all started when I was watching the movie “Shakedown”, which I found because I am a Sam Elliott fan. Peter Weller looked a bit different in his youth (though he was almost 40) than he did in his “24” days.
One reason I like to let the credits roll is because once in a while you will hear a song “gem” that you have never heard before and such was the case with “Looking For Love” by Nikki Ryder.
Now it is an obvious 80’s tune, but for those of us who have a certain affection for the 80’s if for no other reason than we were YOUNG then, it’s a pretty good tune.
How To Find A Song You Want
I’m probably not the best at finding a good copy of a song I like – and, yes, I look to PAY for the song first – but I can do OK once in a while.
The song “Looking For Love” was not in any of the usual places for sale, nor on the sites that have now gone downhill like PlayList.com; I even checked my Eastern Block connection GoMusicNow.com.
So I turned to YouTube.
How To Download An MP3 From YouTube
Downloading a song from YouTube in MP3 format is not all that complicated, I use a couple of Firefox addons to help with downloading video and MP3 files.
- Download Helper – is not as good as it used to be unless you pay for it. Only the paid version will let you download a song from YouTube straight to MP3.
- Easy YouTube Video Downloader – This addon is pretty cool in that it actually integrates a download button near the “like” buttons on the YouTube page. You need the upgraded version supported by ads, but what that really means is you are offered the chance to install other programs – just uncheck the boxes and you’re good, no ads or anything. Personally, I never even had the chance to install other junk, it just upgraded. With this addon you can download to M4A or MP3.
Two Problems With “Looking For Love”
So why am I editing this MP3 song with Sony Vegas Movie Studio? Well, there were very few versions of the song “Looking For Love” by Nikki Ryder from the movie Shakedown. All had the same 2 issues:
- Extra silence at the beginning and end
- Sudden “burst” of sound once it did kick in that I don’t think was intended
Now there are other MP3 editors out there, but Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum is one I am familiar with and it allows easy exporting of the audio track to MP3.
