remixing tracks

when you guys remix tracks, in my case I have the acapella,
do you all chop up your vocals? I tend to do it because It helps them stay on beat better, or do you guys take the whole acapela and time stretch it? I'm using Fl studio 6 and just wondering what you guys do cause its quite a hassle to chop up the whole thing just to make it stay on beat.

my way would be to open up the accapella with soundforge and then cut out the vocals and save them in seperate files... ofcourse you can add delay, echo effects etc.. to them aswell...

thats exactly what I do lol oh well, guess it will have to be that way!

I suck, so I would take the acapella, which is most likely in sync with the original song, find the BPM of the track and timestretch it to my tempo.

what I like is slice the wave format vocals in pieces with Recycle on most important vocal pitches, of course you should know the original tempo and have a ready project or an idea where to adapt the rx2
when I'm lazy simply stretch them with Live

^ That's how I do it too. Since most of the time the vocalist would be singing to the beat of the original, the vocal is already synced, then I time stretch it to fit my project. This way it's a lot easier because all the vocal parts are already lined up, and if you want to move things around, just do it inside your project to keep everything synced up properly. If you cut up the vocal before importing into your project it could be very tedious and time consuming trying to line up all the pieces properly.

Only thing I HATE about FL studio was that you could never real-time chop the audio files in sequencer. It was just those stupid little squares.

Sadly, I was too lazy to actually do anything other than what I was used to doing so I guess thats my fault

Now in v7 you have a sweet new little audio editor you can open up inside FL so you have access to the most essential audio-editing functions without having to exit the FL environment.
