The songs interestingly work quite well together cool man.

hellticky · 05-28-2009, 09:19 PM

awesome

**funmonkey54** · 05-28-2009, 09:20 PM

Haha, I actually kinda liked that. =D

spEXartELITan · 05-28-2009, 10:01 PM

hey thanks...yea i tried putting the two songs together on piano 1 time and they seemed 2 really mesh

**Redorigami** · 05-28-2009, 10:09 PM

I was expecting this to be really bad but it wasn't
Not bad, some parts didn't quite fit well together though.

**Brilliant Dynamite Neon** · 05-28-2009, 10:24 PM

Surprisingly good! We need to get something like this on DJ Hero, it'd be an awesome mix.

**zajac** · 05-28-2009, 10:31 PM

Now do it for over an hour with 20 tracks live haha (I kiddd I kiddd)

Yeah. Could have been a lot better though, there was a lot of clashing with the percussion, but from what you said, you did it in audacity, so I'm just going to guess you don't know about the finesse of EQing?

My suggestion is next time you do a mash up like such, take the track you're going to start mashing in, and cut out some of the highs and lows, that way you keep the mids (Where most synths and vocals sit) and it will blend a lot nicer...

And when beatmatching the two, try to keep the key correction, that way the vocals don't start sounding lower or higher when sped up or slowed down.

Definitely have fun with mashing up. It's always interesting to see imaginative creations

Not bad though! Keep it up!

(Another neat little trick, is when choosing tracks to mashup, if you have the ear for key recognition, mashup tracks that are composed in the same key, and that they follow the circle of fifths together. There are free, and spendy programs out there that can tell the key for you, but if done right, mixing harmonically will make mixing and mashups sound AMAZING)

yea seems impossible to do something like this live

. when you say cut out the highs and lows do you mean to just allow a certain range? also if by key correction you mean changing the key on the fly i tried it and for some reason audacity sped up the song at those parts...guess i maybe need to pay to make that work. also everytime we touch is in f and blue (da be dee) is in g, which is kinda far from harmonically

**EAGAMES** · 05-29-2009, 12:06 AM

This was kewl.

**zajac** · 05-29-2009, 01:14 AM

Yeah, that's what I was talking about key-wise.

So since F & G aren't in the same key, they will clash synth-wise. Not in a bad way, but if they WERE in the same key, they would sound perfect, y'know?

And when I mean cut the highs and lows, I mean, cut the lower frequencies (aka bass) a bit and highs being higher frequencies (some of the hats and snares) subtly... It will make it sound a lot cleaner.

As far as keeping the tracks in key, what I meant was when speeding up one song or slowing it down so they both match at the exact same BPM, when adjusting the speed, make sure that you keep the key intact, that way if one song has to be sped up to keep in line with the BPM, then the vocals of that sped up song are just sung faster, instead of sounding like a chipmunk...

...Not sure if Audacity allows that as an option... But it's worth researching...

spEXartELITan · 05-29-2009, 01:55 PM

yea changing the tempo in audacity doesnt change the pitch, which is what i did for blue, as opposed to changing the speed, which changes both. they are in the same key...i just made everytime we touch in blue's key of g. so basically the song is the tempo of everytime we touch and the pitch of blue. ok so just remove the higher and lower frequencies...also for some reason by changing the pitch of everytime we touch some of the stronger percussion mainly when she isn't singing gets screwed up. guess audacity isn't so good with key changes...

RaptorHaysewus · 05-31-2009, 05:31 PM

It was okay.

That's it. Just "okay."

It did clash a little at the beginning though :P. Plus I really hate "I'm Blue"

wickedawesomeful · 05-31-2009, 05:49 PM

Ableton Live is good for mashups

My fav. song from them is My Console

Sorry to say but blue is overrated.

NFD · 06-1-2009, 12:51 AM

Cosa Restera is way better than My Console >:/

**zajac** · 06-1-2009, 12:52 AM

Euro-pop is personally MY favorite. I just hate the long drawn out intro, and how short the track is. But DAMN is it as close to true Euro music as it gets.

Commandersa1 · 06-1-2009, 12:58 AM

I didn't like it. :/ It seemed more like you put the two songs together rather than mixing them together, but maybe I do not understand what you were trying to do.

You could find one beat and mix the voice tracks together. That's how one song I heard on youtube was set up. It had 23 songs in a 4 min song, and it was really good.

Edit: This isn't it, but it's good too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLaZ-8IMtt0
