street Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Knocked Up Noise's Hollaback Girl mashup inspired me to make one and even though you didnt make it jonny, I was hoping you and the rest of the adjf crew could give me some tips.I remember you saying its a bitch to get both or however many songs youre using in the mashup at the same tempo in logic, especially compared to ableton, but i have a solution. Beatmatch the songs on my cdjs then record each individual track on to a usb. I cant see anything wrong with that but if there is please tell me. Thinking of using a super hard electro track with a heaps dirty, yet simple bass similar to the Dem Slackers remix, and an accapella and another song more for the intro, outro etc. Quote
eggssell Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 or do it live on your cdjs and record itand no i couldnt do it for my life. ive been trying with jazzy jeff and fresh prince acapella. on tt's that is. but it is possible, refer z-trip and AM Quote
street Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 nah, theres gonna be too much chopping and changing and fiddling around with the structure to do it live. Quote
CapFive Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Use ableton lts pretty easy just do a tutorial Quote
legunner Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 i make a ton of mashups, sometimes i perform sets with my mashups in ableton. trust me use ableton.. i dont think reason is optimised for mashups. Quote
street Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 someone wanna buy me ableton I just cued up the acappela and beatmatched it in like 2 seconds and overall was way easier than I thought. Quote
LabRat Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I do my mashups live. I get more if a kick out of doing it. Especially when people find out that monster mashup you dropped was live and they trip sticks wondering how the fuck you just did what you did Quote
street Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 ive ended up using 4 different tracks, so doing that live would be interesting, lol.havent a bit of trouble getting each song in the same key. any advice? Quote
LabRat Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I've done 3 live lol bit of a sweat but dayum! Lol If you're using a daw there shoul be a pitch and time editor somewhere that will help Quote
street Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 yeah im using logic and I know how to change it, im just not sure what pitch to change it to. The acapella is more of a sing/talk style so theres not really much of a key to it except for a few sections. I dont know what notes go with which keys but I worked out that the tracks mainly use these notes:intro track: D, E and Gsong used for drop: D#acapella: E, A, B and C (but only for a few vocal melodies, most is that talk style)plus I have an alternative song for the drop which is based around F which I may use if the other one doesn't work.The drops used just have heaps rude, rough dirty basslines with pretty much the one note so theres not a lot of melody to them, but im sure I could make a few little pitch shifts to make it all flow a bit smoother.

CapFive Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 not bad man, i wass gonna mash this one too but just haven't got round to it Quote
douzzi Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Nice job man! Did you end up completing it on Logic or Ableton in the end? Quote
street Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 Ive only got logic so I used that, lol. It was way easier than I thought to get the acapella the same bpm as the other tracks. Quote
street Posted August 2, 2011 Author Posted August 2, 2011 got another mashup in the works and this one is going to be even heavier Quote
