About the DJ intro shortener
Songs designed for DJ sets often have 30-60 seconds of beat-only intro at the start so DJs have time to mix in. Great for clubs; annoying for everyday listening. This tool chops the intro down to whatever length you want and adds a small fade-in at the new start so it doesn't feel like a cold cut.
Drop in a song, set how many seconds of intro to skip, set the fade-in duration, render. Output is 192k MP3.
