ok, 1st step: i want to mix the oldies song--mr postman---with a club beat let's say 124 bpm the whole way through that is step one second step: i will take the loop i created at 124 bpm---and add samples to the song---kind of teasing the mix, hand clapping, wait , wait a miute, mr postman, etc. 3rd step) i will put (backwards way of doing it) the second part of this remix first and then the song, then the beat again to add another song sorry if i'm not clear, my enthusiasm is clouding my head thnx jessariah sb |

well you can load the postman song in one track. The beatmapper thing will let you try and find the downbeat and tempo of the song. Then, theoretically, you can just paint out the whole song and go crazy adding beats. Of course, what with human drummers, stretched master tape, etc, the song probably varies tempo just enough to throw it off every few bars. In which case you need to load the song, get the tempo as close as you can, and then cut every measure of the song apart and re-align them to the Acid downbeat. Or you could insert tempo change markers every so often to keep things lined up -- then Acid will follow the song tempo and not vice versa. That's pretty painful as well. Actually what's the most painful is hearing a house remix of "Please Mr. Postman" in my head. |

Are you having trouble getting your four on the floor beat to match up with "Please, Mr. Postman" consistently? You may want to check out this post by Joel from SoFo. HTH, Iacobus |

sonicboom: You need to take Mr. Postman into a wave editor and cut it into sections of semi-consistent tempo, each of an exact measure in length. The whole song. Bring each piece into Acid as a loop (not a one-shot or beat map), making sure to check how long Acid thinks each piece is. If Acid thinks the pieces are of the wrong length, you'll have terrible results. Rebuild the song however you want from the pieces. If I get any more detailed, you're going to have to pay me.
