neminem Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Just thought I'd post here, in case anyone might be amused that doesn't frequent GYBO: I posted a couple more mashups. Of particular interest to the game-tune-mixing world would be third down from the top, in which I mash the OneUp Mushrooms' arrangement of the Halo theme, with Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out of my Head. It scares me how much they fit, without having to do anything more substantial than lining them up and beatmatching them. The other two I posted just now, Teenage Wastebag and Sweet Hoes Alabama, required much more substantial cut-and-paste work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Very nice. What software do you use for all these? I've had a big urge to mash Aerosmith's "Dream On" and Bright Eyes's "Lover I Don't Have to Love" together lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a big urge to mash Aerosmith's "Dream On" and Bright Eyes's "Lover I Don't Have to Love" together lately. Sony Acid Pro is the big name in the mashup culture (I know a few people use Ableton Live, and a few even still use their hardware dj'ing setup, but Acid is by far the most popular). In any case, that's the loop-making software I've gotten to know over the past couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 To really do it right I'd need access to acapella/instrumental versions of songs...which would really be a problem to get ahold of. How did you go about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you go about that? Well, for pellas, this is my first stop, always: http://acapellas4u.co.uk/ For instrumentals, there's no one spot, but frequently you can find something someone's made or leaked, by googling around a bit. Also, if you hang out on GYBO (http://www.gybo-v3.co.uk), you'll see threads about newly-made pellas/instrumentals every so often. Then, too, frequently you can fake a 'mental by clever loop-editing (something that's much less feasible with pellas, hence the existence of a4u, and no corresponding i4u ).
