Hi everybody,
I dont know from where I should start in order 2 remix a song, there is a lot of QUESTIONS inside me, I hope someone here can help me!!

What is the basic theories should i learn 2 begain a remix?
LIKE:

1-What is the suitable software?
2-What is the suitable equipments? [Note,that I have no money fot it!]
3-How can I remove vocals from the basic track or the basic song? I mean if i want 2 cut the singer voice.
4-Can i Remix without using any equipments except the Computer?
5-What is the difference between BPM and Pitch?
6-Is it necessary 2 make all the tracks on the same BPM or not?
7-When I should use the pitch and in the other case I should use BPM?
8-I dont know if I should work in the entire basic song that I want 2 remix it and add 2 it my loops, samples..etc, or maybe I have 2 cut the song 2 parts, so it will be easy 2 determine the time or anything else?!?
9-In some songs there is one frame repeat itself like [Free Styler - Bomfunk mc's] when he says FreeFFFFFree Styler. ANYONE CAN UNDERSTAND? ;-] .... I want 2 make it,HOW? & what software can make me do it?
10-How 2 rearrange the drum beats? I mean how 2 repeat the final beat of the loop 2 make it like a snare fill & adjust the tempo in this phrase 2 be faster than its start? And in the same time u keep urself up 2 date with ur beats, no beat comes out ur REMIX?
SORRY 4 MY STRANGE ACCENT

I hope u can understand what I mean.
My real proplem that i have no one can teach me and everything in my life i do it alone.. PLZ NO CRY ;-(

Thankx
 
PLEEEEEEEase don't post several times

Hey Hashoma!

Please don't post the same question several times, that just annoys the others and you're not likely to get more replies.

But let's talk about your post - and what a post it is! Let's get into it:
1. Probably every multitrack recording software will do the job.
2. For a start, you should learn how to use your computer, so no additional equipment at this point.
3. This is a hard one. Try to experiment with M-S processing, change the phases, EQ a bit etc. I don't have that much experience, so I can't give you detailed information on that, sorry.
4. Yep. If you know how to do it. And if you don't include software as being equipment other than the computer itself. A computer on it's own can't do a remix for ya. ;)
5. Oh my god. BPM (beats per minute) determines the speed of a track - it tells you, how many beats there are per minute, as simple as that. Pitch, however is a very different thing. How can I explain pitch? :rolleyes: Pitch is pitch. :) The relationship between the two is this: If you lower the speed (bpm) of a tune, you most often also change it's pitch (e.g. running a record at a lower speed), unless you use a time expansion effect, that is capable of changing the speed without changing the pitch. The same is true with pitch shifting algorythms, that are capable of changing the overall pitch of a tune without changing the speed. Boy, this is really hard to explain in a short form. I'll think about it and maybe post later again.
6. I don't know if I got your question right, but I think yes, it is necessary. Use time expansion for this.
7. You should change the bpms, if two samples you want to put together don't have the same speed. You should change the pitch however, if they don't have the same key - musically. If you do it separately, or change the pitch & speed together, depends on the situation.
8. Try to chop the song into pieces, that you can deal with and loop them. It gives you the freedom to change the arrangement completely. I am working with Logic Audio - it can determine the bpms of a piece automatically. To do this, you have to cut out four bars (16 beats).
9. You can achieve this by several ways. You could use a sampler (be that hardware or software), sample the part
and control it via MIDI or do it manually by cutting out the sound and pasting it several times. But beware of going out of the beat.
10. The same is true here. Sample the drum and trigger it via MIDI or do it manually. Logic Audio has a ruler on top of the main window, which shows the bars and beats, etc. So always correspond to that.

Oh my god, my English also screwed up in the end. But I hope I could give you some answers, anyway.

Hey nessbass
Thank u for the inf,
what is the M-S processing that u mentioned in vocal remover?
And what is the time expansion that u mentioned to make all the tracks in the same BPm?
And I have to repeat again the same mesg that I sent to tell u what I really need???
Lets say that I'll remix a song like They dont care about us for MJ
I mean that I'll put the song in a single track and start put the music loops and samples in other tracks like this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Track(1) - The song , It mentions no tempo in ACID PRO,cuz its a big.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Track(2) - Loops , for ex. 140 Bpm
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Track(3) - Other Samples
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. [How can I sync the one phrase to one or 2 loops for ex.;-)]
-----------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Track(1) !All I want to say that, they dont care about us!
---------!-----------------------------------------------!------------
Track(2) !-------------This is my loop-------------------!
---------!-----------------------------------------------!------------
I mean that I want to finish the first phrase at one or two parts of LOOPS!. And again when the second phrase of the song begains will sync at the beginning of the same loop or other loop or any music I had made.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Track(1) !Skin head,death head,everybody gone bad--------!
---------!-----------------------------------------------!------------
Track(2) !----------------The same loop------------------!
---------!-----------------------------------------------!------------
If we take a look at the end of the sentence[everybody gone bad], I see apart contain no words & the loop still running & not finished!

2. What functions in cooledit pro or acid pro or any other can do that?

3. I feel that the original song doesnt match the new music,even they are sync in one time! what is the proplem?

4. There are always beats comes in the wrong times!
I hear somebody here says [DAMN ON YOU] never mind.

5. there is a conflict between the original beats of the song and the loop... In number of beats.

Thankx again
Cheers,
Hashoma
