Re: Censoring music
Censor bleep is 1000Hz sine wave, (you can generate this in Audacity: "Generate" menu, "Tone").
Some reverse the swearing in music rather than bleeping it out, so it cannot be understood, (unless you play it backwards).
In Audacity "Reverse" is on the "Effects" drop down menu.
You could copy a sound from another part of the tune, (e.g. a bass note, drum beat), and replace the profanity with it.
This would be less obtrusive than a censor bleep.
Completely removing a bit of vocal but leaving the music unaffected is next to impossible ... http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Vocal_Removal
