Cutting Down The Song

The original version of Mazzy Star-Into Dust was well over 5 minutes, and it is vital that our music video does not exceed five minutes in total. So, in order for our song choice to fit the coursework requirements, myself and Nathan had to edit the length of the song using the program 'Garage Band'.
In order to choose where the song could be cut best, without sounding wrong or dodgy we had to count through the song using groups of eight, marking out where each group of eight ended. Instead of cutting in the middle of a group of eight, we had to cut out groups of eight together. It was vital that we counted and therefore worked out exactly where the song was cut as it would have noticeably sounded wrong.
We cut music from both the beginning and the end of the song.
Also, in order to enable the song to have an effective start and finish, we had to use a fade in and fade out tool.
