I'm in the middle of a remix for the new Eminem song, Just Lose It, and I'm remixing it with a few songs, mostly Billie Jean DJ~Sl4m_-_Just_Lose_Billie_Jean.wma

should I continue or ditch it ?

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

you are so doing a diservice to billy jean.

 

[Freestyler]

[belgurdo]

victoly

ignore haters and finish

 

[Error Macro]

Haha, that's pretty awesome. Keep goin'!

 

[Incognito]

LOL!!!! Nice!! I especially like the part where HAMMER TIME comes in and then it transitions back to Billie Jean...

 

[sprsk]

it gets kinda muddy somewhere in there.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

if it were different vocals you were remixing id be so for it....

but its just...that eminem song is so stupid

and it just doesnt sound good over the billy jean beat.

 

[Freestyler]

I think it sounds really good, the beats match each other so well.

On a side note but related to mixing; does anyone know where I might find the instrumental version of Misteeq's 'Scandalous' and the vocals-only version of Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out'?

I have this obsession that I have to try and mix the two together, I am so sure the beats would go perfect with each other.

I know. it's a flaw in Acid Pro 4's memory management, and that's why I'm not completing it tonight.

At first the beats started walking like it was too fast, then at 1 point the speed changed to where billie jean slowed down, at least 3 bpm.

I'll defragg, restart with no other programs running and complete it tommorow when I have more time.

As awesome as Acid Pro is, it has just as many flaws, I've contacted Sonic Foundry reps who at first denied what I said, then had admited to it after a bit of checking.

I've found 4 HUGE flaws with this program which happens to be the absolute best loop based program available, sadly.

The program can disect songs with extreme precision, but sucks when using large files.
I have a gig of 400 mhz ddr 3200 corsair ram, I plan on adding another 2 gigs in an attempt to get the program to run flawlessly, although if it were programmed correctly, I shouldn't have to.

If anyone knows of a better loop based program for disecting and remixing, PLEASE (i'm begging you) let me know what it is, I've grown very impatient with Acid Pro 4's huge problems.

I'll look for you tommorow, and I'm sure I'll find what I'm looking for for you.

well
one thing you need to realize is old songs arent 100 percent on point/ on beat.

cause they were all done on analog so....its impossible for the songs to be 100 percent on beat.

Oh...and Acid Pro sucks.
lol....3 Gigs to get ACID pro to work? dude....dont even bother. A gig is alot Already...hell...you could load a Whole Ocherstra into a Gig of ram...(garritan personal ochestra)

look....."Peak" is pretty damn impressive...try to get that (although....i think its only for mac...not sure) also Look into Cool edit. Cool edit is very fuckin basic (hell i still mess around with cool edit to this day...although now im sure they got Cool edit pro # whatever and im sure its far more advancd), but it gets the job done and doesnt have such "memory problems"

I dont really mess around with little loop/editing programs anymore (except the very basic cool edit when im fucking around with a idea just to test before actually working on the idea) since im more into real mixing (pro tools, cubase) but yea....if you need 3 gigs of ram to run acid pro....then something is really wrong with that program....

peace

Ok, I have everything working fine with Acid Pro 4 now, I was beyond 'a little tipsey' yesterday watching all those NCAA football games.

I mistakingly assumed (Woops) that Billie Jean had precise timing considering the main track was done with a synth, I should have realised no doubt, unfortunately the beer got the best of me.

But now that I quanitised Billie Jean all the way through, I'm making great progress.
I'm at about the 1/3 point of being finished with it, I still have a few effects for the background samples I plan on adding, and the very end of the song to complete.

Other than a slow start from exesive drinking, I think it'll turn out fine when completely remixed.
