Has anyone ever edited your own floor music? We are looking for something new and original this time around. I know there is software that can do this, does anyone know of a good and easy program and how well does it work?

ENTER THE FLOOR MUSIC GURU!
If you're looking for a good free audio-editing program, I reccomend Audacity. Free, powerful enough for floor-music editing purposes, and as audio software goes the learning curve is pretty easy.
Just remember: zoom-in is your friend.
And if you're looking for places to get floor music, I reccomend you take a look at the floor music recommendation thread. If there's a specific style of music you're looking for, let me know and I'll be happy to give you some more specific recommendations.
So, my daugther will compete at States this weekend and will be competing Level 7 next season.
From what I've heard from other parents, the coaches will give the girls a CD and ask them to pick a few songs they like. Then they listen together and decide what might be best for that particular gymnast.
My daughter is excited for her own routine! She often hears a song and says "that would be great for floor" I guess she knows what she likes!
I'm just curious what exactly goes into picking the 'right' music? My gal is a fast, powerful tumbler. I can't quite see her with calm, classical music!
Thanks!
My daughter is a fast, powerful tumbler too and her music has always been very dramatic and edgy...not slow and graceful. We have listened to all of the demos online and have it narrowed down to a couple but we also have an idea of editing our own from a soundtrack CD. It would certainly be an original. I hope we can pull it off.So, my daugther will compete at States this weekend and will be competing Level 7 next season.

One is called "Wings" from Energym and the other is from Floor express titled "Requiem for a dream". Both of those sites have alot of really great music , problem is we frequently hear their pieces at meets and she wants something "extra special" this time, something no one else will have.Share with us so what are the top choices??

I know. I really love Requiem but you're right ...it is used alot. And there is just way too much Pirate music out there.Requiem for a dream I think is over used at least in my area along with the one they put out new called "Pirates" and "going up to Boston" This season I must hear each of them a minimum of 5 times each. I can't say I've hear "wings" at any meets.
Thanks for all your help!! I will look these up! We still have some time to decide but this will be her senior year....her "swan song", so she wants something that will help her leave her mark!!Ok, gave Requiem a listen -- I can definitely see why it's so popular!
If you want other stuff in a similar style, I recommend Sole Signal. "Time To Brawl" is probably his closest to that style, though you might also check out "Castle Crescendo".
