I want to use a doorbell for a sound effect in an upcoming show, but the doorbell I want to use cuts a little bit short at the end...how could I elongate this so that it doesn't sound so cut off?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Extending play time?
Did the recording of the doorbell end before the sound of the doorbell completely died out, or is the doorbell sound just too short?
Try Effect > Change Tempo with a negative value - this will make the sound longer without affecting the pitch.
If the recording was cut off, you could, after changing the tempo, use Effect > Fade Out.
