Slow BPM for trance track

| I have a bootleg remix that I want to do of a sick breakdown in a downtempo track. The problem is that the beat of my track is 138 and the breakdown i'm sampling is at 105. I'm using cubase sx3. Has anyone else attempted slowing down a track this much for a breakdown? Will it even work? How should I go about it in Cubase? |

| if the breakdown is a pad/strings, it shouldnt really matter, though the buildup would be a bit funny. |

| If it sounds good to you, then it works. I've often used a breakbeat that's half the speed of the rest of the track in the breakdown. It creates an interesting contrast. |

it shouldnt be any problem.
for my depeche mode remix i had to timestretch the vocals from 89 BPM to 128. and it worked.
what you simply need to do is to use the time stretchtool in Cubase.

| yeah, i'm not looking to timestretch this breakdown. it's a really funky baseline and i'd like to keep as close to the original as possible. i guess my question is - is it actually possible to have a 105bpm funky ass breakdown in a 138bpm trance track? |

well, why don't you try it and see if it sounds good? if yes: yes, it's possible :p |

I seriously doubt that it'll work without timestretching. A DJ might sometimes slow an entire mix down to pave the way for a few slower tracks, but doing that kind of a tempo change within a single track is likely to suck.
Doesn't hurt to try of course. But I think you're going to need to use proper synch'ing methods (i.e. timestretch or hitpoints, depending on the sample) to get it to work. |
