Cupe Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 As long as you end up with a DJ mix, how you fuck with the tracks and aca's is up to you.You just can't introduce anything outside of that .zip of supplied media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duz Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 right, but I mean can I use OTHER samples (drums etc)and/or synths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatLeSS Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm gonna give this a go with Ableton and the APC40 I think. Should be a good way to get some exposure to it! Be ready for some Glitched mashups, especially with these acapellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Actually some difficult songs and acapellas to mix (for me anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Got my mix almost sorted.... Just for the life of me cannot work out where to fit in the "Bring out the Devil" acapella?Other than that I am fairly loving the song selection. They work well with each other.

Kodiak Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Who's still in on this? Seems like every comp or challenge round here gets lot's of initial interest but few actually follow through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 im practicing mine. will be submitted Any clues what you are doing with the accapellas? To me they just don't fit anywhere. I have what I think is one of my best mixes but when I try to squeeze them in it detracts from the mix rather than adds to it like they should. I haven't played with accapellas before so not sure if it my skill level is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupe Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Keep in mind you can manipulate them how you want, as long as they're still legible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yizzle Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I use traktor so i chopped the acca's up into the remix decks and kinda drop bits here and there with the F1.i have the Sun & Moon acca working in pretty well. but yeah still changing where to put the other one.

AlexJ Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 had my first go at this tonight and trainwrecked it i actually really like some of the songs. that rasputin track is so gusta.i too am struggling with the accapellas. i think its going to be alittle difficult slotting them in there without a midi device. i chopped them up using hot cue banks which allowed me some freedom but still pretty limited. like its abit half arsed when i know i have to get out of the accapella track to mix to the actual next track so its a challenge.we will see how we go.
