Lady Gaga vs Sugababes demo

2009-10-27T07:36:00.001-07:00

Evening all

I've had this demo on the go for about 5 months now n just went back n forth on it as I couldn't find a good quality Pokerface acapella, just the crusty one that needs a busy instrumental to hide its flaws.

The demo consists of:

Lady Gaga - Pokerface (acapella)
Sugababes - Push The Button (instrumental - 128k MP3) :-(

http://www.mediafire.com/?i0iz0kw5mmd

I hope someone can offer a bit of advice on whether to continue with it or whether I can do a few Melodyne tricks on it to make it work.

Please post any advice/tips into the forum where u found this

Cheers
Rob

Madonna vs Mr Hudson mash tweaked

2009-09-02T08:55:00.000-07:00

Evening mash up fans

I got sick of the overly psychadelic nature of the vocals on my original 'Mr Hudson vs Madonna' mash-up.. I was aiming for psychadelic but it was too much to stomach later, so I tweaked it.

Here's a link to the tweaked version:-

Amerie vs Duffy demo

2009-08-21T03:34:00.000-07:00

Evening mashup fans

Just posting a demo slice of a track I've had on the go for a month or two now, left it n now come back to it.

http://www.mediafire.com/?dndglm5ilg0

Amerie - Take Control (acapella)
Duffy - Warwick Avenue (instrumental)

Just wondering whether to continue with it as I initially liked the blend of both tracks but as my pitch is wobbly at the best of times, I'm just seeking the opinion of someone more experienced to determine whether to save myself a few evenings work on continuing with it & finishing it.

All comments (good, bad n ugly) in whichever forum u found this post is would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks in advance

New Usher vs Klaxons mash

2009-06-22T07:50:00.000-07:00

Hi Kids

Made an arse of the previous mash by finding my headphone output was too high 'Mmmm nice n loud sounding that is'... oh no it wasn't... (and certain articles shouldn't tamper with my technology!!!!!)

Nope.. it wasn't properly mastered. No BEEF, PUNCH or KAPOW!!! So having compressed the individual tracks and mildly compressed the final output, it sounds miles better...

I still need some hints and tips for mastering. I'm fine mastering a track from scratch, but mastering for mashing is a little bit harder. Anyone willing to impart their mastering skills?....... Danmei? ;) as suggested by CjR...

Tried a bit artwork but my PhotoShop skills have rusted away, but have properly named/ID3 tagged the MP3 but hope Mediafire don't take it down (my previous ploy was to name it weirdly n not tag it so that it got through the Mediafire net having been victim to having files taken down)

Anyway, less of my bulls**t n here's the newer mix for interested parties

Shadow Dancing Remix

2009-06-19T06:12:00.001-07:00

Evening All

Just posting my Andy Gibb - Shadow Dancing Remix.

I had an idea for it about 10 years ago and have worked on it on n off for the last 2 years for various reasons, like crappy vinyl, seriously out of time pothead drumming, lack of patience

I've got about 20 mixes of it, probably about 2-3 are good n the rest are just ok. I just decided to post one of the better ones for you to have a listen. All comments good, bad & ugly are appreciated.

Usher vs The Klaxons - Golden Yeah using:-

Usher - Yeah (Acapella)

(Apologies for minimal filename but it's the only way I can get around Mediafire removing stuff, so rename the filename and ID3 tag)

Cheers

Queen/Gaga Mash

2009-06-01T15:37:00.000-07:00

Evening All

A nice old mash that I did when we were all using the Gaga acapella 2 death (hehehe!), my take on the the Queen/Lady Gaga mash.

Odd filename due to the fact Mediafire keep taking stuff down:-

New Mix of Beastie Boys/Kate Nash

2009-05-29T04:24:00.000-07:00

Evening All

New Mix of Beastie Boys & Kate Nash - Ch-Ch-Check My Pumpkin Soup.

Smoother on the ears and a little more tempo 104BPM up from 97BPM. Still no Kate Nash vocal interludes as I can't locate an acapella.

Beastie Boys/Kate Nash mash

2009-05-28T03:52:00.000-07:00

Evening all

New mash, worked on over 2 days.. Laid down one day and tweaked n polished the next.

Beastie Boys/Kate Nash - Ch-Ch-Check My Pumpkin Soup...

Kate Nash - Pumpkin Soup (Instrumental)
Beastie Boys - Ch-Ch-Check It Out (Acapella)

(Don't be put off by the oddly spelt filename, it's a deliberate ploy as Mediafire (or Mafiafire) have been removing some work with the correctly spelt artistes, so I'm spelling my files oddly so it might not get noticed)
