Brian Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Anyone know of a good sound mixing program for my computer? Something I can lay down a music and record voice and mix em together? I tried a few free ones off download.com but couldn't figure how to get voice and music to play together. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Cool Edit offers a multi track mixing atmosphere. It's adequate, but it is relatively cheap. Sony also has Cool Edit. Digidesign has a high end product called Pro-Tools. It is the premiere program on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 What are you trying to do? Are you trying to mix live voice down? Best way to do that is sing to the backbeat. Otherwise, if you're remixing prerecorded voice and prerecorded music, you gotta beat match. That's something best done with your ear. Otherwise, use Acid. The program. Although the drug might help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Cool edit is a good tool to do mash ups, just not the best. You can layer and multitrack easily. But speaking as someone with a lot of digital editor experience, its all about your ear and how it fleshes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how to import music, but how do I start another layer to record voice on and than how do I mesh em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling lyrics off of that is a difficult proposition at best unless the song was produced with the lyrics only on one channel. You can also potentially use digital filters to isolate the frequency range most likely to contain vocals - kind of the revers of the Karaoke filters on some audio players.
