Hey guys.. I tried out another mix, one that im actually happy with - its the first part of possibly a hour long mix I want to complete. Anyway, here goes it: http://soundcloud.com/djgotskillz/messing-around-with-acapellas Intro Avicii - Sweet Dreams Deadmau5 and Lil Jon mash up Nils van Zandt vs Sergio Silvano - The Beat Don't stop Lil Jon - Hotel Room Service Let me know! Im still obviously quite shaky around fading and timing of acapellas, but yeah.. open to feedback! Cheers.

Such an easy fix! haha thanks.. It has allowed me to make another mix, which I shall post up in a moment

haha! yeah, to be honest bro, I hate it.. When I was a kid I used to much around taping my voice, since I hate it.. but yeah, dont mind even if I get a free editor, but so long as its not that stantard robot from the windows application lol. Ill have a play around tonight I believe! edit:: Thanks Russell.. but yeah, no offense intended, but if *I* know its my voice, even if its warped enough to sound totrally different, I wont use it haha. Cheers

I work for a large financial organisation mostly call centre work, but partially administration as well. A lot of my job is based on talking on the phone. Edit:: im not too fussed if the audience knows the voice comes from a known source (eg txt to speech editor), but yeah, pretty adamant my voice isn't going on there, maybe not until im "good" haha. Just to re-emphasise, this is only to kill time and muck around at the moment, at least while im learning.

Yeah.. even with my own voice changed, I will personally know its my own voice, im not a fan of it, despite my profession. I will look into text/speech editors again I guess

I'd really prefer not to lol, I hate my voice at the best of times.

wow.. im so sorry, but I dont understand what you mean?

Hey, Im getting very "ask happy" at the moment lol, I have looked around, at text to speech applications over the internet, and nothing is really answering - Is there something available that I can customise a "you're in the mix with...." intro that I can save as an audio file? Text to speech software etc..?

hey bud: Thanks for the welcome, I posted a link to a sound cloud I made.. but yeah, dont expect anything hecktick.. viewtopic.php?f=106&t=8168

I'll definately have to suss this out! Cheers.

I loved it mate, exactly the stuff i try to work on, but yeah, you're 1903u40 times btter than I am lol.

Hi guys! I've only just started in the mixing game personally (hence posting in the beginners threads haha) I'm only using Virtual DJ at the moment, which I've read is very average for mixing - but I guess I want to master that before spending lots of dollars on mixers etc. I want to experiment with throwing Acapella's onto beats, and mix-matching them for mashups, but I have a few quesaitons: Where would one get good quality Acapella's? Is there a way to increase/decrease the tempo of an acapella without it sounding like they're on helium or - on the other end of the scale, a record with not enough power supply? Cheers!

Thanks buddy! Yeah, I guess the commercial, or 'club' scene is where I get a lot of my inspiration, I listen a LOT to particular DJ's and attempt to mirror thier style. The way I "mix" I guess, it would be asif I was DJ'ing for a club, and getting people on thier feet. Like I said, im working on another mix at the moment, trying to fix up the stuff ups, the one question I have - is it possible to increase tempo of acapella's wihtout them sounding like they're on helium? I only use the basics at the moment (virtual DJ) so yeah, any advice on that would be perfect. Cheers!

ohh.. right.. I will learn the ropes of this site eventually haha.. I am currently working on something else at home, so I'll definately keep a tab of the times! edit:: wait, you mean on my soundcloud notes? I didnt' leave comments, as to leave it cleaner.. I can put them iun the description area? Sorry bud.

Ah wow! Cheers! I knew I'd get grilled for that haha.
