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?
11-Also how 2 make sync with coolEdit like ACID PRO in the track view to sync all the tracks in one time?
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
 
The first thing you can do is STOP posting the same question in more than one forum. We aren't so stupid that we might miss it posted in just a single forum. Second, search this BBS using keywords for the things you mentioned and you will probably find the answers to many of those questions already posted. Lastly, after you have read through the tons of material you will come across in the search, post your question in one and ONLY ONE forum. I promise you, you have a much better chance of it being answered if you post the question once and not the 4 (or possibly more) times I've already seen in it the last 2 minutes.

Here's the VERY short answer to some of your questions:

1. Too much stuff to just start listing it. Do a search, and better define what types of things you are looking for and what you want to do with it.
2. See #1.
3. Tough to do for the most part, some software might sorta do this, but it's not gonna be even close to completely removed.
4. Yes.
5. (a)Beats per minute and (b)perception of frequency difference in musical tones.
6. Depends.
7. I assume you are using some sort of loop/sample tool, and therefore it doesn't really matter long as you get the sound you want. One is gonna probably effect the other for some software.
8. Are you talking about sampling from other songs here? If so be careful not to rip them off.
9. Sounds like a delay, or perhaps a reverb.
10. This one I have no idea what you are asking, sorry.
11. Line the tracks up on a standard start point, and keep everything in time based on that.

BTW, only reason I would be crying is from laughing at the virtual beating you could get for crossposting the same question in different forums. ;)
 
I'm going to give you short answers like Jon X did...

1. Acid 2.0 and Sound Forge

2. A used PII 233mhz computer, with added RAM (128meg)

3.Use a plug-in like AnalogueX Vocal Remover (but it probably won't work), so then you will have to EQ your ass off or find a piece of the song with no vocals.

4.Yes

5. refer to explanation Jon X gave you.

6. Either the same BPM or 50% of the BPM.

7. It depends on what type of effect YOU are trying to give your song.

8. You have to be very careful when you sample other peoples music or melodies. If you use too many beats of the music, you or your record label will have to pay for a sample clearance. That could equal a lot of $$$$$$$$$$.

9. Again, you could use Acid 2.0 (to repeat & chop it up) and an outboard FX unit.

10. Use Acid 2.0

11. MIX TO NEW TRACK each one of your tracks seperately (in Acid).

Then, import them into Cool Edit.

Peace...

Hi everybody,
Thankx for the great inf.
If I didnt sent this Q in multiple forums, I think I were not be able to recieve the multiple answers, cuz I really want this inf,it will help me to do some work in this field and get the money that I need.
Sorry, I didnt mean to harm any of u!
I have many APPz that can help to do a remix,& also I have the ideas in my mind to make the new style of the music I want to make.
COOLEDIT PRO, ACID PRO, CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO 8.4, Rebirth RB-338 2.0 & MANY OTHERS.
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!
I can see Jon X & SPINSTERWUN understands what I mean.

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.
