Okay, listen to this- when I make a mix, I turn
all
of the relevant mp3's into wave files. I tap out the
BPM on a freeware counter then I use Goldwave to
quite
crudely pitch adjust. Since the pitch adjust usually
sucks, I isolate one drum loop from the next song,
paste-mix to the previous song, and that minimizes
the
"trainwreck" effect when BPM's go out the window.
Use
Nero to take out the 2 second pause when burning to
disc and BAM- a continuous mix hotter than
Oakenfold.
You talk about cheap! Sure, it takes me a month to
make one mix and is about as fun as mowing the lawn
with scissors, but it does the job. Basically, if
you
have a computer and a shitload of free time, you
could
do a reasonable mix using freeware only.
Counts
hmm, so you arrive somewhere in a club/bar... with your mix ready.
how do you adapt to the present situation, react / communicate with the
listeners, improvise...
???
