i just timestretch the vocal until it fits ill usually play my beat in the background and preview the acapella over the top then just timestretch it til its roughly intime and then fine tune it after !

I just compose to the artist thats it...

Load up the vocals
Play the kick snare and high hat
then compose the melodies

simple shit

i just take the original song and cut it up and make a beat out of it. Thats how i did jay's girls girls girls remix. Check it out. It turned out hot.

I just make a beat around the hook and then i add my drop and take my time at setting the tempo by ear

If I have the accapella, then I usually have the original too. So I use the original to find the tempo and then lay the vocals out on the sequencer so it matches the beat.

The cool part about it is once I get it configured, I can play all the beats I make in Reason with any accapella I have so I can hear what beats best fit what songs.

I ain't good enough to just program off the ear.

depends what you use but you don't really have to find out the tempo you could just do shit like run the add with just a snare the gradually build

i just look up the bpm of the acapella by searching google for "<song title + artist> and bpm"

then i just play the acapella in winamp, then punch in the beat by hitting spacebar in flstudio... you have to get ur head noddin to the acapella first so u can hit it right on time... if i want to record it, i use another recording program set to "record what u hear"...

im always lookin for more acapellas so holla at me i got alot to trade also...

ok...what's a good place online to get acapellas?

 

[Greg Savage]

its best to get them str8 from the record or studio session records dont cost much if u care about quality
