Editing and Removing Unwanted Content From Music

Introduction

There are times in life when it becomes necessary to edit a song to play on the air. Foul language is certainly the most common of the reasons why we would do so. Words like F***, S***, G** D***, and many others can be considered offensive to many and are certainly inappropriate for a young audience. For these reasons, we must ensure that this indecent language never makes it on the air between 6am and 10pm per FCC indecency standards. It is our job at KDHX to remove such indecent content in a way that is both effective at removing the content while remaining as unintrusive to the artist's original work as possible.

In order to do this, we have a few different creative options in Pro Tools audio editing software.
