Can someone help me? im alllwaysss trying to make acapella mixes, with the acapella of one song to the instrumental of the other one but when i hit beatlock, it f***s up the song and the Sync button doesnt do s***(excuse my language), does anyone have any suggestions ? on how to make perfect sounding mixes? and i mostly mix rap

well...sorry to say this but the main reason why your songs don't stay on beat is because many singers (mostly today then in the past) can't sing for s***. they don't sing on beat so in order for the recording studio to produce a perfect mix of the 2 songs is they cut up the accapella into multiple samples and then just lay them over top of the beat. You can always try cutting up the accapella into different wave files then you can try sampling each pella to create your own remix on the fly. Many DJs/Artists do this...ex: Fatboy slim

how do you cut it up into samples?

load the song up in a wave editor program like wavelab.
select partions of the song and paste them into a new wave montage.
save the new wave montage as say chorus 1.wav
do the same for the rest of the song and save them into different files.
Now you will only need to load them up into VDJ's samples seperately.
from that point you can either remix, or do a live mix of the pella and instrumental without getting too much fluctuations in the tempo.

[Spanish Translation] - Traducción (más o menos)
> Carga la cancion en un editor de audio como "wavelab"
> Selecciona las partes de la canción y copialas para pegar en otro montaje nuevo.
> Guarda la nueva estructura como "chorus 1.wav", o el nombre que quieras.
> Lo mismo para el resto de la canción y guardandolo en diversos archivos.
> Ahora solo hace falta cargarlos como Samples de VDJ's en slots separados.
> A partir de entonces puedes: remezclar, o mezclar en directo las partes de voz con las instrumentales sin tener mucho problemas con el tempo.

Por cierto, mejor compra una version FULL y pasate por el Spanish Forum para soporte en castellano.

Also, how do u mix your song with the instrumental of the cued up song? like im playing for example, Nelly- Ride with me, and i cued up Nelly Hot In Herre, how do i beatmatch Deck A's song to Deck B's instrumental for about a minute? and dont say loops cause loops are gay and they dont always work

either cut up your accapella into different sections and sample the song at the proper bpm. OR pitch up or down until both songs are at the exact speed and you can mix them both.

What I have done is . . .
Acid Pro with Sound Forge.
Time Streach the wav files
and made up all the samples.
The programs are some what expensive but fun!

For music producing dont use VDJ!
you can make a better mix if you use FL studio, cubase...
