What programs should I use to edit a song I recorded?
I play the guitar and I sing. Recently, I bought a handheld recorder that can trasfer recordings of my songs into my laptop into an audio file. What program(s) can I use to edit my music? When I say edit, I mean cut out mistakes, get rid of background noise, etc. I'm looking for a pretty simple program, by the way. I'm not a technical person.
Try Audacity, this is a free software and it allows you to do nearly everything you need for your recordings (i.e. Inputting effects, reducing background noise etc.) It isn't super easy to navigate and seems overwhelming at first, but you can figure it out pretty quickly, probably within an hour. Plus, anything you don't know how to do on Audacity can be solved with a quick Google search, it's a pretty popular program so there's lots of stuff on it.
You could instead use Mixcraft, this is much simpler and more crude but very very easy to use. I'm pretty sure this one is also free.
Also, if you have a Mac (or even an iPhone if you download it from the Apple store) you can use GarageBand; you'll be very surprised at how much you can accomplish on it.
All of these I've used myself, are free and are more or less easy to use.
Try Studio One Artist Edition. Its free and there's plenty of tutorials in YouTube. It is the best one out there.
Later on you can upgrade to more professional versions.

- Windows Movie Maker won't let me use a video I recorded with my iPhone 4? Why not? I open Windows Movie Maker, and I browse through my pictures/videos and it's not there. Every video I have with my webcam is there, but none of my videos with my iPhone is there. And I don't want to upload the video straight from my iphone because I know the quality will end up being terrible. What do I do?
- Why isn't iTunes letting me download this song to my song app on my iPhone? I just purchased a song but it's not showing up in my music app and when I go to where it says purchased in the iTunes app I hit the cloud but it won't download to my music app. Is it because of my storage? What do I do?
- Why is it when i select a song on my iPhone, it plays a different song?

And say if i select that song "Sail" it will play the song "Lose Yourself"… Please help and let me know if this has happened to you. PS; I an on an IPhone 4 with IOS 6.1.3
- Which takes up more space on my iPhone: a song in the music app or a song downloaded from Spotify? Assuming it's the same song, obviously, using the default quality settings for each. I need more space on my phone, and want to see if I can save space in the music department.
