My mix is coming along. I had almost finished it but what I had finished had "clipped". I was pissed. I re-did it. It's sounding okay though. Some beats were hard to match. Some of the middle songs are too fast. I need to slow them down a little. What's good about my program is that you can speed up or slow down a song without changing Prince's pitch. So he never sounds like a chipmunk.
If I had what you had right now, I wouldn't leave the house. I eventually want to get two turntables and a mixer. I'm really into deep house and garage house. I want to use them for that.

I can't wait until I'm done so I can start another Prince project. I don't know what songs they will be. Did you see the lists the others posted. Damn.


Oh yeah, they are similar in tempo but definately have to be speeded up or slowed down to match. They shouldn't be so different that the speeded up ones are really noticeable though. Try speeding up the current song that is playing a little bit and slowing down the track a little bit that will follow it. That should kinda even out the balance of it.

As for the software that will not affect the pitch of the voice, I played with that for a little while and was absolutely amazed that it could be done. Computers are something else and I definately plan to explore them later.

As for making another mix CD, I've been checking out the other posts also. Prince has an endless amount of songs to play with and I've seen some good ideas by others posted on here that I've been checking out myself.

House music is very easy to mix because a lot of it has very long intros and extended breaks in the middle. I like to mix house and throw in a little disco every now and then.

I made my own remix of "Head" that everyone always wants a copy of when they hear it. Hell, I have gone to a stranger's party with a friend and heard my remix (they had copied it for them). biggrin

I extended the intro and the breakdowns in the middle. Then, I mixed in snips of LaWanda Page (Aunt Esther) from her comedy album "Mutha Is Half A Word".

The song starts with Esther screaming..."I want a LOOOONNNG black dick!". Then the song starts. During the intro, I mix in "dick...dick....dick...black dick.....black...black....black....black dick".

When the vocals start, I mix two copies of the vocals at the same time until the song reaches a peak and sounds like it is going underwater.

On the first breakdown, I mix in Esther saying "blow me...blow me...blow me...I said BLOW ME BITCH!" Then I mix in Esther blowing into her microphone a few times and bring her in going "Blow him honey!" before the vocals start.

I mix two vocal copies again until it reaches a peak.

On the second breakdown, I bring in Esther again saying "Do what the whores do! Get smart like the whores do honey! Honey, them whores got money, honey, cause they done took all the money yo huzband had! Do what the whores do honey, and you'll wind up with the minks, and the diamonds, and the furs honey!".

People really trip out and go wild when they hear this remix. lol
