I used cubase to do this the few times i have done it.

1) Find the BPM of your original track
2) Paste in Cubase project
3) Time stretch using cubase
4) Line up your songs
5) Edit away


It can be a pain in the ass to get them lined up perfectly... mostly due to the fact that you might have the BPM of your original track miscalculated, and thus your timestretch will be incorrect.

Good luck

Just be a real DJ...it's not that hard

i second that, i've seen worse...




as far as programs go why don't you just use mix meister, then you don't have to mix at all, just match your songs and let software take you for a ride. at least if you're using a program like virtual dj, traktor...etc you are still making transitions - the beatmatch (which in some ways is overrated)...

I'm with the 'asshole' ... be a real DJ

I'm more of a producer than a DJ and I want to incorporate as much creativity as possible. It will be faster and more interesting to lay out a mix on the computer than to go through hours of recording. I can be more creative this way and give out a mix that my friends can enjoy more.

My goal is to make a unique mix with superlative quality, not mold to some ideal "DJ" sect.


tmdrums17 - thanks! I've tried cubase and it may be the best to use

alligator - thanks for the tip. mix meister seems like a good program, but I already have cubase so I think I'll stick with that

look into acid, i used to do this kind of thing with it all the time. its by sonic foundry if i remember correctly
