Does anyone know of any good software that I can use to remix songs that are already made. For example software like cakewalk plasma where you can rip songs off of cd's and remix them? Or does anyone have any experience using cakewalk plasma and can tell me a little about it
Hey TrickyRicky, Ableton Live is the software to go. I have the Ableton Live 4.0, and this software is for both sequencing and remixing. You get the acapella of a song (that is, a vocal track of a song without the instruments), bpm sync that to the the sequenced beat via this software and you're ready to go. Effects are great on this software. Version 5 on this software is available on the market. M-Audio-run Live is the cheapest version of this software, but the real deal is the way to go.;););)
As texpride mentioned, I won;t go past ableton live - its absolutely brilliant becasue it keeps everything in time and the effects are astounding!
Its so good that The Prodigy actually run their WHOLE MIX through ableton when they're gigging live ( I know this for a fact because I've soundchecked them).
If you wanna get to grips with ableton, I've put up a short Audio tutorial by James Zabiela at my site.
