mixing an acapella wiv ur own beat

you gotta sit there, and chop it (the pella) up a bit and shift them around. also if the bpm between the two varies loads, it won’t work unless you speed up/slow down the pella…..i’d be careful tho..you don’t want a chipmunk effect on the vocals. it aint pretty

chopping up the pella makes it more managable definetly…but usually to sort out the bpm issue i run it through sony/sound foundry acid pro’s beatmapper….with a few adjustments here n there u get the pella to the desired tempo.

you know what you wanna do…get a blade…have your beats and pellas on reel to reels, have some tape..and go nuts …
all this software doing all the hard stuff for you is childs play…*nostalgic rant* i jest….i cut myself way too many times anyway

I have yet to get pro tools, but acid is a good sequencer for mixing beats and acapellas. but like everyone else said, you have to find the bpm of both the instrumental (weather you’re using a some1 elses or your own custom one) and the acapella. cutting a and chopping the acapella just leaves random "blanks" in the song that sound generic. If it’s an old school acapella of a song that didn’t have a digital beat mapper, then you might wanna use cool edit or adobe audition to clean it up…
