Audio Editing Help

[Trash Master]

I created a wav and I want to add 1 second of silence to the beggining and take off the last second ot make it even with the video file I made. What are you recommendations on how to do this. I tried Audacity, Blaze Media Pro and 2 others. I can't figure it out. This should be an easy thing to do to. Can you help me out please. Thanks. TM

Well I was going to recommend Audacity.
1. Open your wav
2. Add a new track (or stereo track).
3. Add silence effect 1 second to your new track.
4. use the slider tool to move your original track 1 second
5. Sav the "mixed" tracks as a wav.

My problem with Audacity is that the wav I create from Virtualdubmod is does not accept it. Edit: Thanks for that bit of info tho. I will use it when I figure out what is wrong with my wavs.

What format is the original audio track that you are saving out of VirtualDubMod?

I know that I had problems when I had an AC3 track, and when I "saved as wave" from VDubMod, the resulting audio had a .WAV extension, but it was not really a true pcm wav.
It was actually an ac3 track with a wav extension, and I don't think Audacity can work with AC3.

What worked for me was to use BeLight to convert the extracted track to a true wav file, then I could load it into Audacity. Maybe you could give that a try.
