Next I needed to adjust the size of some of the audio I had collected. I still wanted the clip but I wanted to cut out a part from the middle. 13. Finally I wanted to adjust the length of a pieceof audio, I needed it to last slightly longer. Ialso wanted to add effects to some of thesections. For example, reverb, echo/delayetc.
