From my own experience of spending hours music editing here are a few tips:
* Back up your MP3 before editing, as you might save what you don't want to save. Also back up your free editor as well, as it may change to shareware, discontinue or become unstable after extensive use.
* Perhaps defrag, and clean your hard drive if you intend to process several MP3 or other audio files. Music editing, like burning to CD's can be intensive for computers. I have edited from 10 minutes to 3 hours continuously and 12 hours using a batch process. Then run a PC optimizer software (e.g. ccleaner, defrag) to clean your computer after extensive editing.
* Use automation features for large or several MP3's.
*Remember to create output directories for several MP3's or tracks to easily locate them, and to save in the required format, e.g. MP3.
* Remember to start with quality sounding music MP3's, to reduce the time required for enhancement, which may never reach full quality through editing.
* Multiple processing of the same MP3 file, particularly for noise/pop/hiss removal might have a reduced quality effect, depending on the original bit rate.
* Check for updates, and visit online forums and tutorials for help.
* Sometimes it's easier and quicker to go shopping (including online) for a remastered/remix CD of older and marginal quality tracks, than spending hours recording, editing, converting, and setting up to transfer MP3 music from a cassette or vinyl turn table to your computer. I brought a cheap Santana remastered CD from ebay USA, rather than bothering to transfer and edit the old 1969 vinyl album I had.
Because MP3 music editing can be relatively simple but also comprehensive, there are a range of free MP3 music editor software downloads to suit all levels. I think Audacity being the most popular music editor, and has plenty of online help and tutorials. TheMP3 cutting software downloads, are probably the easiest for quick audio editing. You might then want to burn your edited MP3 music tracks.
