Flipside It's Mr Flipside to you Join Date: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,620	What's Best? Look, I wanna make sum music, especially a mash-up dubplate tune. Everyone seems to be suggesting that I use different software on my PC, but which one is actually the best? Bearing in my mind that I am pretty much a complete beginner! Sonic Foundry 'Acid' (Pro/Music/DJ) Sonic Foundry 'Sound Forge' Sonic Foundry 'Vegas' Logic ...or any others...? Thank you

Reason...well let me say...oli la it's the qwan baby if you can use it right Ez Ty

Dj^Silk Registered User Join Date: Dec 2001 Posts: 363	lol.. there all diff types of program for diff types on audio engineering. u cant really make a 'mashup dubplate' on reason, thats not what its for. you should use programs like soundforge - wavelab - acid for that sort of production. making a 'mashup dubplate' is more a case of just recording bars and loops of other tunes of vynil onto your pc into the program (soundforge) and cutting pasting and eidting audio over it. hope that helps. ps u need the right leads to go from ur mixer into ur pc! all this dubplate stuff has been done b4 tho surely. everyone seems to be getting onto it now paug (slimzee) did it first and that was effective but now in my opinion its just a way of playing all ur bomb tracks all at once and ruining the rest of ur set? anyway good luck!
