I've heard of Dj's doing "mash up" tunes by the combination of two songs into one..Can someone tell me the software name and where I can order the software to do "mash up" tunes?...........

Production forum?

I think you can make mashups in almost any sound editing program, though, such as Soundforge, Audacity, etc.

Do it yourself by playing and recording it :clown:

Ableton live is great for mashups...

So simple to mix, house, trance, hip hop, rock or whatever you want right on top of each other...

SONY ACID pro 5 would be pretty good for this.

(btw i dont know why it is now SONY ACID pro instead of sonic foundry, im figuring that they bought the technology)

It would be pretty hard to do it with records, trying to make sure the tunes are beatmatched perfectly for 6+ minutes... omg.

if you are recording a mashup on its own, its actually a piece of piss because you can spend as much time as you want beatmatching it, then you won't have to make too many alterations during the mash-up. your only worry is breakdowns and bridges, where you might have to fade out and re-cue further in or something to get the specific section you want and/or to keep the phrases matched.

doing it within a set is obviously harder, but it gets easier the more you practice. listen to adam beyer - essential underground9 (stockholm), its a perfect example.. there is a vast proportion of that cd which is mash-ups and 3 deck action.
