To cut out a part of a song on your iPhone, you can use the built-in editing features in the Music app. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Open the Music app on your iPhone and navigate to the song you want to edit.
2. Tap on the song to start playing it. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a mini-Timeline showing the duration of the song.
3. To trim the song, place your finger on the beginning or end of the green bar in the mini-Timeline. As you do this, a trim pointer will appear.
4. Once the trim pointer appears, drag it left or right to adjust the start or end point of the song. You can drag it to the left to remove the beginning of the song or to the right to remove the ending.
5. As you drag the trim pointer, the mini-Timeline will update to show you the new duration of the trimmed song.
6. When you’re satisfied with the trim points, release your finger. The song will now be trimmed to the selected portion.
7. If you want to save the trimmed version as a separate track, tap on the “More” (three dots) icon next to the song and select “Create Clip.” This will create a new track with the trimmed portion of the song.
8. You can also undo the trim by tapping on the “More” icon and selecting “Revert to Original.” This will restore the song to its original length.
It’s worth noting that the editing features in the Music app are limited to basic trimming. If you’re looking for more advanced editing options like merging songs or adding effects, you might need to use a third-party app specifically designed for audio editing.
In my personal experience, I have used the trimming feature in the Music app on my iPhone to remove unwanted intros or outros from songs. It’s a handy tool for customizing your music library and creating personalized playlists.
