Remember the days when we were happy about the appearance of polyphony in mobile phones? What opportunities opened up: you could put your favorite melody on the call (which, however, then could only be ordered on paid services).

And even though it was not a full-fledged composition, but only polyphonic, this fashion (putting a melody on the bell) has spread everywhere. And even then there were rumors, or maybe bold dreams, that very soon Cell phones will play full ringtones in mp3 format.

Soon that is exactly what happened. But since there was very little memory in those mobile phones (only a few megabytes), it was completely reckless to spend it entirely on just one song, even if it was your favorite (after all, you could save a few more photos on a 0.3 megapixel camera!).

It was then that it became fashionable to cut tracks, say, to a chorus or a favorite moment in a song. And, oddly enough, now mp3 melodies are cut off no less than before: new favorite compositions appear, old ones become boring, and we still approach the receiver just as quickly, so we don’t need a long melody at all.

Why did I remember all this? Yes, because there are a lot of programs for editing (including trimming) audio files, and in order to trim a melody several times a year, it is not at all necessary to learn how to use professional software, which you most likely do not want to understand. And here there is a free, convenient and extremely simple program for any user - mp3DirectCut.

However, trimming melodies is not the only function of the program, but, as it seems to me, one of the most popular in this class of “light” audio editors.

The main features of the mp3DirectCut program:

• Trimming, gluing and extracting audio, some editing options;
• Recording and encoding to mp3 with audio input device;
• Editing metadata of audio files.

Program installation

Installation takes place literally in two clicks: just unpack the archive and run it!

Interface

At the first start, the program will greet you and prompt you to select the interface language, since Russian is present.

Main program window: central part given to graphics - a standard situation for such programs. However, this graph is not the actual waveform of the "audio object", it is more for navigation than for getting information about frequencies based on visual perception.

As you can see, almost all buttons - until the audio file to be edited is opened - are inactive.

Now let's add a full-fledged composition in mp3 format, you can do this by clicking the "Open" button in the upper left corner of the window, or the corresponding item in the "File" menu.

I have a problem: I absolutely love this album, but its penultimate song ends with a long "silence" in my headphones (probably according to the artist's idea - the end of the main part of the album before the bonus track, which has a slightly different style). And when this divine sound in my head ends, I have to return to real world where it is not always comfortable. =)

Therefore, I want the next track to start playing immediately after the penultimate song ends.

It's good that I now have the mp3DirectCut program, with which I can easily cut the silence at the end of the composition without making any changes to the encoding, without changing its quality or any other parameters except for the timing. Moreover, the program itself recognized the “silence” in the sound track.

Right in the middle of the screen, as you probably noticed, there is a vertical dotted line (1), which does not change its centered position, being a kind of "sight" on the diagram. With its help, you can very easily and accurately select a fragment. It is possible in a different way (with the mouse buttons), but it will turn out more accurately and more clearly. So, let's begin.

Using the slider at the bottom (4), which provides scrolling of the diagram, we bring the vertical marker (1) to the beginning of the area that the program has selected as having no audio frequencies (move the slider with the mouse, holding it down with the left button). The marker will conveniently “stick” to the line, making it clear that you are not mistaken. Now press the "Start Selection" button (2).

Now again drag the slider to the right - already to the very end of the composition (it won't let it go any further). And this time we press the button "End Selection" (3).

It remains only to “cut out” the fragment I do not need, which I do by pressing the “Delete” button on the keyboard.

Unfortunately, I don’t know why, when selecting this area, the program does not highlight in a different color (apparently, the colors match), if you select to the left - where “frequencies” are visible on the graph - the selection is perfectly highlighted.

That's it, the fragment has been removed - admire for yourself.

Now you can save the file. To save in mp3 format, leaving it unchanged (except for the timing, of course), select the "File" and "Item" menus. Now we save the file in mp3 format - in principle, the program did not provide me with another option.

That's all. The program can do something else, but no more than is necessary for the inexperienced in this issue user. Still, in order to work more deeply with sound, knowledge is needed, and for this there are more powerful programs, usually paid ones. Well, for starters - and this one will do!

Believe it or not, one of my favorite artists (whose track I cut) once created his first "beats" using cassette recorders, re-recording mixes with fragments of different tracks onto cassettes. And these songs were put on the radio! And you have more opportunities even with this simple program! So, perhaps one of you will start your long journey with this program ;-), who knows ...

Uninstalling a program

This is the first time I am adding such a paragraph to the manual, but there are reasons for that. The fact is that the program is not removed by standard methods. That is, it won't help you. standard means Windows or third party programs.

A feature of the program is that it does not create entries in the registry and system folders. All configuration is stored in a file mp3DirectCut.ini, which is located in the program folder ( Program Files\mp3DirectCut).

By deleting this file, you will delete all settings. If after that you run the program again, the updated file will appear again. Therefore, to completely remove the program, delete the mp3DirectCut folder in Program Files, the desktop shortcut (if any), and the links in the Start menu.

Advantages and disadvantages of the program

• The program is simple, functional, will work even on the weakest hardware (tested on a computer of 2005 and Windows XP), weighs only 400 kb - you can download it from your phone =);
• Fast and easy navigation even through large files - up to 4 GB;
• Very good translation into Russian, there are localizations for other “rare” languages ​​(even for Ukrainian language), I counted 26 languages.

• There are simply no obvious cons. One could call a lack of functionality, but everyone understands that too much cannot be demanded from this type of program.

conclusions

The program is made, as they say, "for a person." The interface, no matter how trite it sounds, is really intuitive. I did not even begin to review the settings, since anyone will understand them. No wonder such programs are very loved by users. You will quickly fall in love with it if you often do simple operations with audio files, and will not interfere with your computer and generally somehow affect the system if you use it only occasionally.
