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 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
