Reply To: USING AN ACAPELLA WITH BASSLINE/4×4

Tempo is a choice? You should be adjusting the acapella to what ever tempo you want by using your sequencer, then re-editing again to correct any slight errors.

4×4 is not 140 BPM, it’s whatever you choose to make it at, most of my records are made between 133-137BPM some wideboys material is even slower than that.

Making dance music you need to consider the DJ and how much pitch you get on Technics to mix it with, DJ EZ plays around 138BPM, so tracks made faster will be played slower than intended, usually not the goal, that’s the rough guide.
