Dance Project #2: Cinema, by Benny Benassi

As soon as we finished with the Dance Project #1 (link of my work), we started with a new one. But before that we needed to learn something really important: every song can be divided in beats, mostly 8. Even you can try to find the beats in your favorite song: you just need to listen to it and "keep an ear on" the bass; the first beat is usually the strongest one, and after that you can start count (following the rhythm of the song) till you hear another stronger beat (that will be the first again). 
After we tried to count the beats of many songs, we had to choose our song for the next project: I chose "Cinema", by Benny Benassi (here the link of this AMAZING song).
For the editing this time we thought about car commercials: when there is a song it these kind of TV commercials they can't use the entire song, because it's too long and because what they want is the refrain.  
We imported the song in Audacity and it looked like Pic#1.

We listened to our song and we noticed that is really easy to individuate a single beat.

We started editing: what we looked for was the beginning, the refrain and the final parts of the song we had chosen. We did again what we had done for the Dance Project #1 (link of my project and its article). It looked like Pic#3.

When I finished editing I exported the file in WAV format in iTunes and I created a MP3 version of it. Below you can listen to the project completed. ENJOY!!
