I have got a song in M4A format--I think that is MP4. It was given to me as a teacher because I am going to dubb over a few words in a segmant of the song to use in an assembly. I am going to use audacity to do the editing, but audacity (unless it is a mac) can not recognize MP4.

Does anyone know a good converter that is free?

Yep, iTunes. Get the song into iTunes, then change your import settings in preferences to be the mp3 quality you want, then in one of the menus there'll be a convert to mp3 option when you have the song highlighted.

Thank you fugu13. I have it converted. I now need to capture someone singing. Once I capture the singing, I am going to cut out where the song says "wildcats" and insert "dingos."

Will any sound card work? My sound card has a green, black, and orange input thingy.

Can I just use a regular mic? do I need a special program to capture the sound? Thank you again. I am not sure how the process works.

There are lots of sound recording programs out there; there're a few old threads on hatrack discussing such things, if you can find them (I believe I used the relatively unique word podcast in at least one of them, so that may help).

Audacity was the one most of us use for the Reading Out Loud Club. [Big Grin]


It rocks.
