Cheerleading Mixes

Ok you may have got a laugh at the topic but I am wondering if anyone has any experience putting something like this together. I have been offered really good money (I had no clue how much you can make doing these) for doing 3 tracks for a cheerleading organization. Basically the way they want them is for me to take multiple songs from various genres of their choice and take interesting parts from those and speed them up and put it to a dance beat usually around 140 bpm and I believe each section needs to be around 8 bars with the total song at 2:30 mins, very similar to mash-up songs I’ve heard. The problem I have run into initially is trying to warp multiple pieces of tracks I am trying to mix into the track using Ableton… I used the knowledge from the remix video to try and work these but I just can’t seem to get the tempo right for every sample I use. I wonder If I need to work each one individually first finding the original tempo and then warping it and putting it to a beat and saving that and then after doing all of them start a new track and then do the mixing? If anyone has any advice on this I appreciate your time and knowledge, thanks :slight_smile:

It really helps with warping if you cut up the audio around exact bars… Si find the sections you want in the tracks set the start and end points to get them to loop then crop them and then warp them. Also if you know the original bmp you can use it to get the warping closer…



Generally using wArp straigt from here works better for most stuff.

Phil, Thanks for the quick response! I will try that.

Worked great, you are the man!
