Sorry just not feeling this one dude :( First of all why would you slow down the vocals? She sounds like she's in a coma! Secondly the acapella is so badly filtered it's not even worth trying to attempt a mix, better to wait for a studio pella or just move on to another song. At least the two songs are in key (I assume this is a mashup) so that's more than I can say for most bootleg remixes these days. Keep on trying and next mix you do make sure you have a GOOD acapella. And never ever slow down the vocals unless the original album version is less than 79 BPM or so. Dance mixes are supposed to be fast & energetic, not sleepy & slow vocals. |

And never ever slow down the vocals unless the original album version is less than 79 BPM or so. I think it's a big mistake (and misleading) to pretend like there is some sort of hard rule like this that exists. It may be your personal preference to use 79bpm as a guideline (and that's fine), but it varies with each vocal performance, and there are many more factors other than BPM that go into the decision (e.g., how 'fast' she's singing, amount of vibrato, whether the vocals are wet/dry, etc). Ultimately, it comes down to how the vocals sound time stretched versus time compressed (I recommend always trying it both ways if it's a tough vocal BPM-wise). Your resulting decision is still just a personal preference (e.g., you and I have often disagreed on whether certain dramatic vocal stretches/time compressions sound good). Plenty of educated producers and consumers have a higher tolerance for slowed down vocals than you (at least when they are processed and comped with lots of time and care), and that doesn't make us wrong. On many of the mixes with sped up vocals that you said you considered 'excellent', I usually found myself not being able to understand most of the words, and it all just sounded so silly to me that I wouldn't even expect a tweaker to appreciate how fast things were going.  |
