Currently editing on Edius 4 and have iTunes version 10.0. I am having trouble getting songs downloaded from iTunes into Edius? Can anyone help? Do I need to convert the iTunes file into a mp3 format? And how would I do that?
Can you be a bit more specific as to what you're having trouble with? I'm assuming you're trying to drag a file directly into the timeline? Does Edius 4 have an import feature? You may want to check that.
Are your audio tracks locked? Sometimes, you can't drag a two-channel clip into a timeline if one of the target channels is locked. Edius is finicky like that.
I agree with others' advice in burning an audio CD and pulling the tracks into Edius that way. Make sure you're
not burning a data disc!
I will say that RealPlayer allows you to do some interesting things with video and audio. If all else fails, you might want to get RP and screw around with that a bit. You might actually stumble upon something worthwhile.
you can use compressor, sorenson squeeze, or even virtual dub
Compressor isn't a PC product. Sorenson Squeeze is $800 for very little in the way of audio editing. VirtualDub is licensed under GNU, meaning anyone can edit the code, resulting in often-buggy software. VD also makes note on its website that you need additional third party plug-ins and hacks to perform what Latin Lens needs.
You really need to do more to understand questions asked and the answers you're giving. This isn't the first time I've seen you give extraneous or bad advice on this forum.
Any audio software should be able to convert the cut into another format. I thought that iTunes could do that? Not an iTunes user.
iTunes files are normally M4A (or AAC). I found that iTunes used to be able to convert downloaded files and audio CDs. Now, it's been restricted to audio CDs only.
Most editing software, though, usually includes an "import" feature that can help get the job done.
