I started mixing music

[wardlarson]

First thing I ended up liking was this track I did, It's Kick Push by Lupe Fiasco over the beat of Pigs by Aesop Rock.

MySpace.com - Warming - Wenatchee, Washington - Ghettotech / Ghettotech / Melodramatic Popular Song - www.myspace.com/thingsarewarmingup (first song on here)

Tell me what you think and show me your mixes/edits/etc

tight #### dude

Get a copy of Fruity Loops. Try and get pro if you can, it has many more options.


The learning curve is pretty nasty, but if you can get it down, you can make some really sick music.



Otherwise, not bad.


I think... Acapellas4u.co.uk or something like that has a lot of acapellas for free, just sign up... or something like that.

i use fruity loops and im already at acapellas4u.co.uk hahaha :P
that being said this particular track was just done in audacity

not bad... but not great. The lyrics really didn't fit well with the beat imo. mashups are cool if done right nonetheless

Awesome, Audacity is really awesome for stuff, and thankfully it's free.



Umm... Interesting tidbit... I don't think it's stated in Acapellas4u.co.uk that you cannot have multiple accounts... So in theory, you could, technically, have like... you know... 2 or 3 or 4 accounts...


But that's just theory... and I would never advocate something like that...

hahaah yeah i thought it over but decided it wasn't worth my time yet, but i might have 'some friends' join and get some songs for me >_>

schweet. i dig it! nice sound and clean layering.
I personally can't stand FL or pretty much.. anything else since I moved to Live, but that's personal preference IMO.
i had forgotten about acapellas4u... probably about time to take a look again, i've been away from my mixer for a long time

[wardlarson]

thanks. as you've noticed im sure, i have added a few more mixes since i made this topic.
mooseboy, those are pretty good. im still playing with fruityloops, there's a lot more there than meets the eyes.

[wardlarson]

also, a great resource for anyone looking for good acapellas and instrumentals (and they're all free too)
