REMIXING!!!!!!

How do you guys remix?? I can't remix with Fruity Loops,
and remixing with ACID PRO. . . is like, wierd. I mean, how
can one disect a certain part of a song? For example, say in
your remix, you want certain vocals in the song you're
remixing, but you don't want the beats underneath the vocals
that are in teh original song.

As far as I know, the only way to do this is to actually
work with the actual artist who produced the original song.
That's how the professionals do it, anyway. . .

with Reason can one actually disect the song, take out
certain elements and leave other elements behind? That's the
important thing. . .

basically, whatever you use, if you haven't got the sorted
samples, or at least splitted tracks (drums, bassline,
synth, etc) then you're in hard job.

for voices, if you can caught them alone somewhere in the
song, then sample it , phase it out, and then mix it where
there is voice with music : you can mix the voice out the
music... but it's very hard, and if the voice changes enev a
little bit from one part to another, it won't work.

at least, you can cut up every step of the whole track and
make breakcore with it ;)

with recycle or loop extractor or soft like this, you can
re-arrange sampled rythm loops in âtterns of your choice...
but it's not the whole remixing job.

I use SoundEdit16 for the disection of songs, then save the
files as aiff, and open them up in reason.

i'm going to do a glitch-hop remix fo a track from my
friend's death metal band and i asked him for the individual
tracks (you know, bass, vocals, etc.) and they don't even
have them! it's going to be annoying to remix just from the
cd alone, very limiting. if people can continue to post
remixing advice here (as for filtering out other parts of
the song) that'd be very nice.

why don't you ask them to record the individual trax out? it
wouldn;t take too much time, im sure. it would be worth it
in the end too. w00t!

there was a way to take out vocals in cool edit that i knew
about...

let's see if this makes sence to you ppl because i certianly
don't remember fully...

you take the selection and copy, not cut, to a new "screen"
then you paste it back onto the original selection and do
some sorta varation of the paste command...and chose delete
simmular, or diffrent. (it's on the same thing as mix and
past, paste special, etc.)

i think you have to take the left channel and subtrack it
from the right, or somthing simmular...i havent' done this
in forever! let alone hardly use cool edit.

and what it'll do is take out the vocals and everything else
that's on in mono...

i hope this helps and you ppl can figure out what to do. I
have to work an early shift tomarrow, so i can't try it out
on my own, and figure it out fully.

i asked my friend to re-record his vocal parts, i imagine he
wouldn't mind. as for the rest of the band, i don't know
them, and i'm not an engineer or anything so i'm not about
to make them re-record the song. besides, they probably
recorded all their songs live and i don't have a mixing
board, just a computer (so they'd have to do one instrument
at a time).

there're a few different ways of "extracting" audio parts
from songs, but none are perfect..

You can get vocal remover plugins and through clever use of
filters and equalisers you can isolate vocals. It is time
consuming and hard work, but it is possible.

Even so, you're likely to end up with soe distortion or som
remenants of music in the background of the voice etc.
