Nothing like some strange to change one`s perspective.

im having difficulty making something worth keeping

Load each verse on a pad?
Break the song down into smaller pieces??
How do you find the BPM??

Any knowledge dropped would be appreciated.

I always use tap tempo. Look up the original track with the rest of the music, play it while hitting the 'tap tempo' button (on beat/quarter notes) on the MPC500. That should get you close. The rest is fine tuning the bpm in (92.x bpm) or time stretching the acapella, which is probably more of a pain in the ass with a long sample.

Also, use the original track for reference, taking note of where certain words/syllables match up on beat. Sometimes the vocals start in on the 4 count instead of the 1. I always take notice of where words/syllables hit on the 1 count (kick) and the 2 and 4 (snares). From there you can adjust the acapella starting point (in milliseconds) in the sequence, then if its on point and falls off later in the song, fine tune the bpm of the whole track. Just keep going back and forth until you get it on time, continuing to reference the original. If you have to, chop the acapella into smaller parts, but sometimes this makes more work for you.

Here's another online tap tempo resource I used for years, when not working in a DAW, sampling and labeling vinyl. http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm

OK, well if anyone decides to convert them to WAV joints, and is willing to upload them or send them to me, please let me know. Or if ODK wants to upload waves...even better I guess the flac files sound better than waves...is that why you chose that format?

I'd rather not download and install some program I'm only gonna use once.

I'm in. I picked "Viktor Vaughn - Raedawn" because I'm old and lame and had no idea who it was until hitting up the Wikipedia.

Boom!! this is big!!

Hi everyone,

here is my explanation for my pick:

I was about to choose the Caveman acapella, because it is very stressful for me to hear it. But sorry, it was getting too annoying after some time and beat making is supposed to be fun for me.

After that I chose the Doom file, because it was the most tempting one. Hence, my remix does not apply fully to the rules, but trust me, I suffered enough with the other file.

The general Idea I wanted to create was, Imagine having a client come to you and offer you work, you may not like what you have to do, but you may learn something from it, and would you turn the business down when it pays the bills. This was not meant to be easy, this was meant to do your head in completely and push your skills you didn't know about.
