Sorry Chris,
but your wrong about this one...I'm not talking about 'maintain a
certain BPM', I'm talking about trainwrecks!
Sure, you can mix any tempo stuff, but that doesn't mean it's going to
sound good!
There is a reason they make pitch controls!
In my previously chosen profession, I was a online editor. In my spare
time I made triptapes/visuals for raves. We use to mix 2 stereo pairs
on the master, just like MTV is doing with amp, for a continuous musical
mix...but, YOU JUST CANNOT MIX BEATS WITH INCOMPATIBLE BPMS! It sounds
like shit! When those amp edits came up on my tv at home, everyone in
the room cringed! Like I said, tennis shoes (plus nuts and bolts) in
the dryer.
not cool!
It's just about impossible to beatmix with video gear...so they really
should stay away from it.
The solution is that you can mix the ambient bits (and they did do that
on a few occasions).
Thats fine with me...just no more trainwrecks!
peace out,
brock
