COLACNT 5,177 Posted August 11, 2013 so i think that there should be something done about all the acapella songs and the instrumentals we have available. some kind of mash-up similar in vein to what vitamin-ldr did with methamphetamines and thomas newman? but i don't have the ear to match beats or melodies really so hopefully those of you out there with finer tuning can suggest some good ideas for mixes? like, 'midnight dancer girlfriend' would sound great with ...? heartshaped chevrolet would mesh well with...? the big bad wolf instrumental (which is actually better than the actual song itself) would flow nicely with...? so on. i'm trying to fuck around w/ some audio programs so either i or something else with more seasoned audio skill can try and put something together if a particular mix sounds intriguing / potentially beautiful? ya this is like the first song i've tried my hand at mixing. its laura palmer's theme x methamphetamines (chopped / screwed). it sounds totally schizophrenic, but i kind of like it? its rough as fuck at the start but if you don't listen to the whole thing i'd hope you listen to 1:00 and onward at the very least http://picosong.com/RpNm if you judge me, i'll kill you. jk, you can go ahead cause i don't know what i'm doing tbh and so tips / suggestions are welcome for reference, we have (official) instrumentals for: video games born to die carmen bel air hit and run heavy hitter ride (intro) and we have acapellas for: born to die blue jeans (filtered) carmen (filtered) video games (filtered) young & beautiful (filtered) plus all the unreleased acapellas and ... i may be missing others? pls gimme ideas cause i dont know really what would mesh ~sonically~ 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wryta Thinkpiece 3,344 Posted August 11, 2013 I've been thinking of the Video Games acapella with John Mayer's guitar cover of it. I made an attempt some months ago, but I kept hitting dead ends. It would be so awesome, I know it. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ednafrau 836 Posted August 11, 2013 i used to be a mash up addict a few years ago....this is a great idea! i like your mix, @@cola i have to think a bit, but off the bat one i always thought would fit was the "million dollar man" vocal with fiona apple's "the child is gone" instrumental. @@Philomene , i think the "raise me up (nirvana)" would be great! i'd be especially excited to hear more lana rock mashups ♥ 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
