Hi peeps.

I would like to start remixing.
Does anyone know how to remix?
where do i start?
how do i start?

I'd like to work with logic. Is it good? not good?
how do i lay a vocal that is 70bpm onto a beat of 128 bpm?

would be nice if someone told me the steps to consider.

Thanks.

you usually start with a computer.

that was mean ^^^^^^^^

hey ye basically get yourself a mac if yiu have cash, then ableton or fl studios then take some courses from sonic academy to know the basics of the program and how to make musi you like.

then get a synthesisier a basic one will do even a midi keyboard as you can just use vsts for synth sounds!

then learn to play the piano(perhaps if you want?)

then get some remix packs

to get it right ull need to timestretch and adjust pitch, thers a lot to learn!

for all question u need google it pal and youtube the questions, u will be surprised

hope this helps

i dont agree with some of this.

learn the program yourself, spend time behind the screen. learning it from sonic academy is good, but... they teach you how to do something according to how they have learnt how to do it. if you teach yourself, you will know the program inside out because you'll spend more time learning to process rather than following a few easy steps.

you dont need a hardware synth. what Nikolaz said was pretty spot on, a computer + a midi keyboard will suffice.

+ som decent speakers, not a must, but sure will help you in the end!

Don't forget about sample packs

I use vengance stuff so I can recommend them. (house or minimal packs are great!)

reason for me recommending sonic academy is because it's arguably faster to get started on remixing and producing as they do agreebly show you how to do it their way but in the beginning its better than none

oh yeah vengeance rules

u know its good cos knas is made from it hahah

I agree with all of the above. Mac + Midi Keyboard + Good Quality Speaker = Set

Best sample pack for any beginner would be the Vengeance Collection.

Remix packs can be found on various websites. Most have been illegaly passed around without artists permission but who cares.

If you intend on sending your remix out to the public make sure youv got all the copyright shit sorted out aswell.

Hope this helps

In logic this could be done easily with the time & pitch machine. Just put in 70 bpm as original and then at destination write 128.

All matched up and done

Hi guys

Thnx for the feedback.
Perhaps it was my fault not to have mentioned that I use logic with a midi keyboard. (and of course i have a mac and speakers etc....)

I have also produced tracks so thats not the problem. I knwo how to start with a "new" production.

But i dont know how to remix!
I have never done this before.

Whats steps should i consider?
the thing is that i'd like to do it all in logic. is it good or possible?

you tube and google doesnot help much becuase i cannot find the "same user" using logic and including ALL steps i need.

Thanx

Dont understand what you reallyl want help with doing.. I dont remix alot but if i would i wouldnt really see it as something hard to do.

If you already got parts from a production, its easier then ever.. just take some parts that you like and add something to it. Maybe some diefferent percussion or some top melody or whatever.

If you dont got any parts, sample stuff. "Steal" the melody and play it with another instruments.

The only limit is your own imagination! Just make sure you hear something from the original and it becomes a remix.

And yes, i would go for ONE program. There's not much you would want to do that you cant do in logic (or any other program actually).

theres no rules for remixing.

just listen to the track a few times and pick out what you like. than just play with the samples there or try to recreate melodies with another instrument, change notes, just play around. theres nothing you can do wrong!

Hey guys.

Thanxz again.

Yeah well I dont have experience remixing ANY songs at all. So i was hoping for some tips other than just "imagination".

I mean say for instance I have a song at 70bpm or perhaps 90bpm and I want to remix it to a house track... how do i start? (I have a beat set up with no melody)...

for instance california love from 2pac.... just an example... its around the 90bpm...
I got a beat at 128 bpm... but it just doesn't match...
do i have to trim the vocals like 100X and adjust it and flip it and stuff?

what do u call and how do u do it.... adjusting the tempo from XXXbpm to XXXbpm?

thanx.

lol, mate forget remixing 70 or 80BPM as a house track, it would sound incredibly fast, dont do that...

and other thing, try making something of your own first, read manual for your program (ableton, fl studio or logic) u seem to be a very big newbie

anyway u can always change tempo with audacity, or any wave aplication,,, but for me personally the best solution is traktor (because those editors made a small glitches if i was changing tempo for more then 5 beats)

I answered you that question, in how to do it in logic

thanx to everyone

@peter017

thnx for the tip bout the 70bpm remix. but i am quiet sure there are ways and methods to do so. I have heard many remixes which tent to be from the origina bout 70 or 80 and its mixed on house....

Well I am a newbei to remixing but not producing.

thnx.

Hey Guys!

I haven't done a remix yet but i want to do one. I do understand it's theory but i don't understand how to for example turn the track we want to remix into an acapella (in case if i don't need the instrumental). Another thing that i don't understand is how to get rid of the sounds from the track i have like i don't want the bassline to be in the track. How can i get rid of the bassline?
Thanks for your help!
