I have been watching and learning from threads on mixing, and not fully understanding what was being discussed, or maybe I do.

So my question is what software, or techniques do you use when you blend 3 or 4 songs into a mix, or join these songs together in a medley, with the proper blending and making it seamless? Adding intros and setting fade outs....

Help Please?
 
Im also interested in this as I was tied up with the Academy when a seminar was dealing with this.
 
Dj Gray:You have a lot of softwers which can do that.
-Adobe Audition 2 (before Cool Edit Pro)
-Sony Acid
-Cakewalk:Sonar,Project 5v2
-Steinberg Cubase SX,Cubase 4,Nuendo
-Digidesign Pro Tools...

You can use any Music Production program to do that
I hope i helpt a bit.
 
I would be more than happy to go over many options when it comes to mixing.

Maybe we can setup a chat discussion or a phone session.


If you give me a bit of time I can put a few things together such as mash-ups, custom remixes, beat mixes and editing.

I would love to learn Cam, let me know when you have some time, and we can get on msn messenger chat. One of the mixes I saw here lately that I really would like to learn is beat mixing old songs to new songs with same bpm.

which Sony Acid would do the trick
 
pretty much so. I use it mainly for correcting sound on my music files....haven't gotten much into the remixing end with it, but it will do it.
 
Sound Forge let's you do a lot of things to your music files be it extending them, cutting them sort, make a splice between songs that match perfectly, the possibilities are endless.
 
I do as well my KReative friend. However I want to make extendeds and also alter Drum, beats etc.
 
JON:
I do remixes for years(about 12)and its a Mine digger job.First you must cut off the whole bass and drum line.You can do that in many ways.Than you must cut off the high line(hi hats...).When you do that you need too clear the vocals(with EQ,denoiser...).when you finish that you need too make the whole new song and mix it with vocals.
Thats only the short story.There is a lot more job to do.
Thats the way i do the remix.(if i understand you what you will do,if not sorry to write all this).
Hope i helpt a bit
 
I was thinking of also using it to edit "live" vocal recordings....would the Adobe Audition be the one? I notice they have edition "3", anybody used this newer version?
 
No and i dont know the difference Im a Cubase4 guy.
Jim:The answer to youres question is YES.You can do that in Adobe Audition2.You can record vocals in every multitrack music softwere.
 
I've been comparing the various programs. Down to two the Sony Sound Forge, and Adobe Audition 2.0 & 3.0.

The Sony Sound Forge has 2 different programs, the Sound Forge Audio Studio @ around $50 dollars. Also The Sony Sound Forge 9.0, at around $250. Which one do I want? I tried comparing them and they look similar, but the Sound Forge 9.0 having more effects processors and multi channel ability. Do I need the more expensive version?

As for Adobe Audition 2.0, and 3.0 I could not understand what the differences are between the 2 versions? Do I need 2.0, or 3.0...or do I need something this involved to do some mixing and effects processing of MP3's that I have made from live recordings?? Or would the Sony Sound Forge Studio @ $50, do the trick?
