Changing tempo

Hey, let's say you have an a capella, and want to mix it with a beat. But the beat is way faster. How do you guys alter the tempos ? I've been trying like mad but nothing seems to do the job =[

since you don't know how to "alter the tempos" i guess you aren't using turntables and you want to mix mp3s or wave files.

if you want to do it live in real-time try software-dj tools like bpm-studio, traktor, mixmeister etc.

or buy an audio editor like Cool Edit / Adobe Audition (www.syntrillium.com) or Pro Tools (www.digidesign.com) or download the free version of Pro Tools here.

No it's not to mix mp3's. I got an accapella from a band that lives near my house, I asked if I could do a trance remix of it. So they sang it, gave me a couple of guitar samples too. But they're too slow, I'll try cooledit, to speed them up.

Thanks

Downloaded the demo, doesn't seem to have that feature ? Can someone tell me exactly how to do it ?

cool edit:
press transform -> time/pitch -> stretch, select "constant stretch" and "high precision". if the acapella is just a bit too slow, select "resample" and alter the tempo by changing the "ratio"; to speed it up 5% set it to 95%, to slow it down 5% set it to 105% exc.
if the acapella is way too slow select "time stretch" instead of "resample" and set it to for example 105% to speed it up 5%.

resample will sound better, but it raises the pitch, with time stretch the pitch will be the same as the original sample.

hope this helps...

If you are using some mp3 mixer, change the pitch and this is it..this is what I use :)
