Question for Putzi...

Post by hoomish »

While listening to your latest remix (v. good btw, voted it orange smiley) I checked out the ID3 tag and noticed that 2Klang had beta-listended (if there is such a phrase!) for you. My question is this: is 2Klang still annoyed with the listening community or just taking a break? Personally, I hope it's the latter as 2Klang's remixes are very good imho.

As an addendum, I actually think that your LN2 remix is possibly your best work... well, from my point of view anyway! :wink:

Putzi,

I'm just listening to some of your megamixes and was wondering what software you actually used to piece all of these together?

I am working on puting a set together to mix live at BitLive4 but was also hoping to put a few "premixed" sets together to play during the actual day. I have played with a few "production" applications but none really give me any real control over beatmatching or applying FX's. I was going to just record myself doing it live...

You can use any multi-track editor if you want to do mixes like the SixtyFour-megamixes, even a sequencer with audio-capabilities will do, like Cubase (which is my choice for SixtyFour #6). I don´t use any "magic" to match the beats, I just count them and if any remix from my current selection of tracks for the megamix matches roughly, I adjust the speed by editing the remix.

My goal with the megamix is somewhat different to what you want to do live, because I reduce every remix to the interesting parts and cut breaks and repeated parts, and I especially cut parts that make linking a remix to another remix impossible; but sometimes breaks are the links, depends on the remixes I want to glue together.
