How do you remix with acapellas ?

[mortuus est]

Im sure some of us have ways we remix or make new songs with acapellas, ive only done it once and how i did it was chop up the track verses and lay it out just like that

how do you do it? what works better for you?

 

[McPiff]

usually i just craft my beat around the vocals. for some i might chopped it and do a refix of the song, sometimes i don't touch it.
rap acapellas dont need to be touched in most cases.

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

I use turntables, I just spin the acapela to a instrumental and adjust the bpm of the tracks as needed. Also it helps to know the bpms of the songs ahead of time.

Single easiest and best way to do it. I can quickly try out different acapellas to different instrumentals. Sometimes you'll hear ones that just mesh better.

If I have a acapella I go and find the whole song, loop a section of it and then build my beat from there when I finish the beat I just make sure the acapella is lined up where it doesn't sound off.

Virtual DJ, it will show you bpms of of acapellas and beats so its easy to auto match it or find the same bpm

I sent him a remix of some of my pac shyt...caught a case of hate poisoning...He killed his self, took his own life and shyt, you know? Suicide note was some shyt about his ex-girlfriend and all of that.
We all knew that the shyt was about the diamonds and the rubies and the Jacuzzi....

That's the key right there. I listen to the radio and i'll hear some dj's blending songs and think to myself "this shyt is lazy and not good". When i do blendz my whole purpose is to make the song feel different from what it was before. That's just my thing.
