Here is Game Day, a music group. Edit Seven Nation Army with trims, fades and dropouts.

Touch and hold Seven Nation Army to open Edit Sound.

Scroll down and open Fades and Dropouts.

The waveform shows the audio over time.

The Now time shows the playhead position. Tap the waveform to move the playhead.

Drag the In handle to choose where the song starts.

Select Out, then drag its handle to choose where the song ends.

Select In. Minus one second and plus one second move that point in larger steps.

Minus one hundred milliseconds and plus one hundred milliseconds make smaller adjustments.

Select Out to fine-tune the ending the same way.

In and Out show the selected boundaries. Clip shows the trimmed length. Total stays at three minutes, fifty-two seconds.

Reset to trim start puts the playhead at the In marker.

Play previews from there. The Now time advances as the song plays.

Pause the preview before changing the fades.

Choose sixteen times to see the fade more closely.

Select Fade In. Use plus one second for a one-second fade.

The song would rise from silence to its normal volume, softening a hard start.

Select Fade Out and set a one-second fade.

The song would fall to silence at the end, finishing cleanly before your next call.

Return to the start of the clip, then move the playhead past the fade.

Tap plus Dropout to add a section at the playhead.

Set Start and End with the minus and plus controls.

You can also drag the dropout edges on the waveform.

Muted would make that section silent. Playback would continue through it without skipping ahead.

Use it for a lyric you do not want in the arena.

Tap Duck to lower the volume instead of silencing the section.

You would still hear the audio, more quietly. Scroll down to see its level and status.

Duck level sets how much volume remains during the section.

Delete dropout removes the selected section.

Add a dropout again, and leave it muted.

Tap Save. Edit Sound now shows the trim, fades and one muted dropout.

Go back to close the sheet and return to Game Day.

Tap Seven Nation Army. The Now Playing pill shows the trimmed song playing.

Tap the Now Playing pill to stop the song.
