Making a remix
Posted on: 06.06.2012 by Zulma Ramji
hey guys,

Ive ben working on learning to produce my own tracks, but i kind of want to divert from it and try myself in making remixes. I want to basically take a song and use only it to produce something new. What would be a rule of thumb when chopping up a song? maybe you can share some best practises?

Cheers!

10.06.2012		Unless you can get MIDI files or at least audio stems, I'd say don't bother……re-create and re-record it. But you'll never be able to isolate parts very well (apart from multiband compression, filtering, and EQing) from a stereo file which means you're basically playing parts on top of it.

That works sometimes, but it's really easy to turn it into a busy, noisy, muddy, mess……it's easy enough to do that as it is…don't make it easier.

06.06.2012		Do what sounds good, not much more to it than that. Try and look for two bar samples like just the drum beat, a break, kick and bass and so on. Cut those up and use those as the basis while adding your own flavour.
